The Mormon Factor
The Washington Times ^ | Nov. 25, 2011 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 11/25/2011 6:08:09 AM PST by lakeprincess

Doubts about Mitt Romney’s fitness for the White House disappear when skittish Republicans, conservatives and even evangelicals consider the alternative: another four years of President Obama and his evolving administration.

I will not vote the lesser to two evils. This is why our nation is in the shape that it's in.

Vote the most conservative candidate.

If we keep fishing from the same ol pond, were gonna keep catchin the same big mouth bass.

Mitt is a used car salesman, tell’n ya what you want to hear.

Jennifer, not with me. I’ll take Obama over Mittens. At least Obama is a known quantity. Romney is a two-faced SOB. Conservatives are not likely to get anything from him they couldn’t get from Obama. Thanks but no thanks!

——————Doubts about Mitt Romney’s fitness for the White House disappear when skittish Republicans, conservatives and even evangelicals consider the alternative: another four years of President Obama and his evolving administration.-——————

The author of this article is clueless.

The alternative to Romney is four more years of Obama? Sorry, I got news for the author of this article. The alternative to Romney is Herman Cain. The alternative to Mitt Romney is Michelle Bachmann. The alternative to Mitt Romney is several other people vying for the candidacy.

I’m sick of seeing the republican establishment set the terms. The establishment wants this over because they don’t want to see a conservative win, they want a republican like themselves to win.

Never voting for Romney. I wouldn’t vote for the current Marxist in chief, but I would write in a conservative before voting for that RINO.

Maybe the Times is seeing something we don’t.

I don’t see anyone who wants Romney in the office of the Presidency except the RINO’s

Pure compost. Critical thinking conservatives know that Romney is just Onada in whiteface. We will not vote for the man. We will vote for our man/woman.

I don’t like Mitt or Mormonism.

I don't care what religion or lack thereof a person harbors.
as long as he/she treats ‘The Constitution’ with an almost religious fervor....which Mittens does NOT.

I will not vote the lesser to two evils. . . . . . . .

____________________________________________________________

Before anything else is said let me state first that I have nothing against Mormons, I respect them and their lifestyle. Not everyone however feels the same way i do and they have a right to feel however they want to feel.

The statement above about the lesser of two evils is the reason Mr. Romney is not a viable choice for the nomination. Some won’t vote for him because he isn’t conservative enough, some won’t vote for him because he is too conservative and some won’t vote for him because he is a Mormon, that’s a lot of people who won’t vote for him. There are many that will not vote at all rather than vote for the lesser of two evils.

Some won’t vote for Herman Cain because he is too conservative, but there are probably none that will not vote for him because he not conservative enough and certainly he does not have a “Mormon problem”.

The same can be said about Michelle Bachman and Rick Santorum. The left will never vote for a conservative or anyone they think might be conservative that is why the moderate Republicans always lose. The moderates think they will grab some of the votes from the left but they fail to realize how radical the left really is. We don’t need the left to win an election with a true conservative, the country is mostly conservative.

Many people will vote for Romney if the choice is Romney or Obama but I’m afraid it might not be enough. Four more years of Obama will really hurt.

Don't let emotion overrule your brain.

A Democratic president brings along Democratic cabinet members, a Democratic staff and Democratic mindsets. They nominate judges including the all important lifetime appointments at SCOTUS.

As painful as it may be to swallow, a weaselly Eastern Establishment liberal Republican is still superior to a Saul Alinsky trained socialist.

You may be willing to sacrifice the country for another decade or more in order to prove a point, but its just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I learned that in 1992 and wish I could go back and change my vote for Perot.

Myth hasn’t dodged sniper bullets in Bosnia yet, so he can’t possibly be ready for office.

I agree. Four more years of obunghole and the country is finished.

I will not vote for Romney until he tells me whether he will install the Constitution on his new planet. After all, this life is one life only, but the planet that Mormonism says he will be given to populate is every life and for ever - isn't it?

Nominate for Post of the Day.

You are exactly right. If Romney gets the nomination, I will hold my nose and vote for him. The very idea of another four years of Obama is frightening. Look at the damage he's already done so far. Another term and our beloved country will be no more.
