Mitt’s done. He’s got the slow motion disaster of RomneyCare chained to his ankles. It has hung on, poorly, weakly with Federal ...bailouts. Much like Mitt, Bush/Obama like wanted to bailout Detroit, and as he bailed out the Utah Olympics.

But, of course Mitt is a ‘conservative’.

Sarah is supporting Perry in Texas. GW Bush, the man that doubled the nations debt, and Mitt are supporting the plastic, old, hack, KB Hutchinson.

Old ‘compassionate conservative’ ( unless you are a taxpayer) love spending money.

So the argument for the Mittster is (I paraphrase):

Hey, how about me? I can't suck as bad as you say because you like some people who will have their picture taken with me?

One BIG difference between Mitt and Brown (and Palin): Authenticity!

Mitt, Schmuckabee and McCain are inauthentic, finger-to-the-wind phonies who think nothing of lying to serve their selfish purposes. Not an authentic conservative bone in their bodies.

I know you folks don’t understand the nature or the heart of the LDS but as a child of God we are to uplift one another and root for their better nature to surface.

Palin and Brown even in their understanding know that as Americans we need to encourage others to have faith there is a better way even McCain or others and have faith the Lord can change hearts and also to be able to discern those who have no desire to change but to destroy this nation.

those who do not walk the walk will drif away but in the mean time if you Love your Lord feed His sheep nourish one another!

My words are ment to be more ecumenical than proselytize.

Lets encourage each other to choose and do the right thing.

The most important things that who ever is president has a true desire to lead this country back and to the constitution and build a firmer foundation.

I suspect that you don't understand the nature or heart of those of us who wisely fear and reject Romney on the basis of his politics, which are demonstrably nanny state big government. His LDS, your LDS, and his supporters' LDS status is of zero importance to many of us because many of us know and have lived among LDS and former LDS folks who run the gamut from creeps and sleazeballs to wonderful, honest, and valued friends and co-workers. Individual LDS followers are no more uniform in their "child of God uplifting one another" ethic than Presbyterians, Lutherans, Catholics, Baptists, Jews, or the individual members of any other religious group.

Lets encourage each other to choose and do the right thing. The most important things that who ever is president has a true desire to lead this country back and to the constitution and build a firmer foundation.

You're stating the obvious and simultaneously ignoring it. I and many others here are encouraging YOU and Romney fans to do the right thing and FACE UP to the fact that your guy is a bad choice. He has demonstrated a propensity to do the opposite of what you and anyone with sense deems "the most important things that whoever is president" should do.

Maybe you ought to drop your fixation with the LDS thing and start looking at the politics, instead.

The WSJ’s Kim Strassel pointed out that Romney’s closest aides flooded to Mr. Brown, bringing with them the savvy of his national operation.

It appears that their SAVVINESS has increased a LOT since Mitt's FAILED Presidential bid!

(Could it be because Scott is ACTUALLY Conservative compared to MITT?)

“One-size-fits-all-federalism might have been the perfect system then. But today for a country as full and rich and varied and alive as ours, the old system is a disaster. Romney was the first to catch on.”

No; Joseph Smith 'saw' the Constitution hanging by a thread first.

       Thanks for those kind words, Scott.

We have only one Constitution, one Bill Of Rights, and it must prevail on every square inch of American soil. The Bill of Rights cannot be neutered by popular demand, just because a majority of people in a particular city or state don't like what it says. The Bill of Rights protects the individual citizen against excesses of government, AND excesses of democracy.

Romney is pontificating politically at the expense of constitutional principles, he is making excuses not to protect and defend The Constitution, and asking everyone else in the GOP to accept it as a platform.

Racial segregation was by popular, democratic, demand at one time, but the Bill of Rights does not allow it, and segragation was ended. How can anyone still claim that it is legal to deprive American citizens of any right, anywhere, because "most of the voters want it that way"?

How can I say this without offending?

It is my experience I had as part my conversion that instead of disowning someone who is not in lock step with the template. One should enable encourage another to rise to their better nature.

I also want to make known the LDS don’t claim to have any market on this it is just when one is walking the walk they are more likely to practice these attributes and maybe the reason might be because there seems to be more emphases of this in our lessons.

I also want to acknowledge that I have recognized others who also have employed these qualities who are not of my faith.

I am sure we all have a few special someone in our life be it a teacher, boss, friend, parent that always make us awared that there is a better choice instead of trying to undermine or destroy because they did not like what they did!

This was the only point I was trying to make!

I can not read the hearts and minds of many, I do have discernment when someone is trying to annihilate this country which Obama Inc is trying to do!

I know that should Obama Inc remove many Democrats vs that we too would also like to see go.

But there will be a differents in what each of us want those of us who love our country want to replace a Reid with someone who will addhere to the Principles of the Constitution.

Obama Inc will give someone like Reid, Polosi, Schulmer, Boxer Durbin etc the kiss of death hoping to replace with one of his Mao type people!

I already understand Mitt...have for a long time. He has no political conservative core values but will support anything for political expediency. He’s a fake, an empty suit who is a big-government solution loving socialist who at various times has supported abortion rights, gay rights, and limits on the right to arm oneself.

For a person with conservative core values...Mitt, not an option. Next.

How do you arrive at that conclusion?

I am trying to figure out what you mean?

Thank you for stating your reason instead of just name calling etc as what many rants are on this subject.

Yes he won, and he is also not a conservative. Conservatives don’t win in Massachusetts. Moderates can win, but not conservatives. He supports the RomneyCare boondoggle.

Obama won election last in 2008. By your statement I should be supporting him because he won.

Take your blinders off and stop sipping the kook aid. You are selling your conservative soul for parochial reasons.
