Actually, nobody cares about that, either. What really hurts Romney is that he comes across as rather oily -- there's something too slick and polished about him to be trusted.
Nothing more than that....
Put Mitt in charge of shutting down the DOE and BATF.
I think it will be betwen a RINO like trump and a conservative like Palin. Most of the RINOs are out attacking Trump because he is hurting Mitt and other RINOs their positions are about the same but Trump has a bigger megaphone. Palin has not attacked Trump because she knows a Trump run helps her by making all the other GOP rinos look unelectable.
To 95% of voters the fact that Romney is a con artist who will say anything to get elected is a reason for their opposition - not his religion.
No!
“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006
"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."

"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."

Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys. He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."

"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!
Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.

Donald Trump is like Mitt Romney with courage and bad hair. Otherwise the two are very similar.
Compare and Contrast:

 Chihuahua Romney - the Self-Declared King of Tea-Party: |
Mitt goes the way of Hillary. His RomneyCare and her Iraq War Vote put them on the curb. Maybe a close nomination or election, but on the curb.
Mitt Romney is only a Republican primary ‘frontrunner’ in the liberal media. His shifting positions on critical isseus and, as the article states ‘RonmeyCare’ sink him as a serious candidate. His Morman religion is a very minor factor, if it matters at all. Mitt Romney may look like a president on TV but he’ll never be one in real life.
{the MSM will go all out to expose the Mormon Church to all Americans, who really don’t have a clue as to what the Mormon Church is all about. }
I doubt most Mormon know what the church is all about.
He not only failed to seek your wise counsel, he reiterated his support for mandating purchase of insurance. This four-second clip is gonna haunt him.
To 95% of voters the fact that Romney is a con artist who will say anything to get elected is a reason for their opposition - not his religion.
wait you repeat your self.
Romney has sunk his candidacy before it even started. That video comes from the 2008 New Hampshire debate, so maybe Romney decided it was impossible for him to disavow Romneycare. If so, too bad.
There, fixed it...
