Unfortunately, the Rep. candidate truly BELIEVES most of that stuff in 
the platform (EXCEPT the part about not raising taxes).

He has already said that "religion and politics" are inseparable, and his 
past actions clearly show what he could be expected to do with another four
years.  He has also said that he would consider reelection to be a "mandate
for his social issue stands" such as organized prayer (why can't the
religious simply keep their praying between themselves
and their God(s)?) , anti-family planning and anti-choice restrictions,
and a variety of other suppressive measures.  There is apparently already
a draft report that proposes to try get court decisions (through judge
appointments) to allow states to once again ban the sale of contraceptives.
