Amazon.com: The Left Hand of God: Taking Back Our Country from the Religious Right (9780060842475): Michael Lerner: Books
"The unholy alliance of the Political Right and Religious Right threatens to destroy the America we love. It also threatens to generate a popular aversion to God and religion by identifying religious values with a pro-war, pro-business, pro-rich, anti-science, and anti-environmental stance. In the past few decades, the Republicans have achieved political dominance by forging a union with a Religious Right that provided a sanctimonious veneer to policies that help the rich get richer while ignoring the needs of the middle class and the poor, dismantling environmental and civil liberties protections, and seeking global domination." quote from above linked article about a 2006 book by Rabbi Michael Lerner called The Left Hand of God: Taking Back Our Country from the Religious Right.

One good thing about Mitt Romney is that he does not look like someone who is from the Religious Right wing. Kind of hard for a Mormon to take that kind of stance of a hardliner for religion outside of the internal politics of the Mormon Church.
