and I assume you’ll be in the front row cheering them on.

I'm merely pointing out that Romney, who's essentially been given a pass by the media, is now going to be chewed up and spit out by that same media.

But if you are suggesting that I'm going to relish this, that my preference is somehow Obama over Romney, then up yours.

Very well put.

Because Reid is such a nasty piece of work, folks forget that he is a Mormon.

Albeit a crappy one.

Perhaps somebody should probe the racial makeup of Andrea Mitchell's Washington DC neighborhood. In one of the cities with the largest black populations, why did she choose to live there (according to this celebrity house pictures web site):

Well, what are we supposed to do? Defend some goofy cult religious beliefs that ordinary people find, at best, strange, and at worst, dangerous? Why should conservatives want to bother to do that for a man who isn’t even one of us?

Let Romney defend himself :P

Of course, since no one likes Harry Reid, it’s hard to see how comparing Mitt Romney to him helps his case.

Considering Romney already had virtually an impossible challenge finding a way to define himself as a desirable presidential candidate, the fact that he and his surrogates will have to spend untold hours trying to “clear up” perceptions of Mormonism makes his task to win the presidency utterly impossible.

There’s still time to deny him the nomination. Newt just has to win a little over half of the delegates in the upcoming 20 states in order to deny Romney 1,144. There is only one shot to defeating Obama and that is making sure Romney does NOT win the nomination.

Will Mitt running for president drive a stake into the heart of mormonism?

Well, what are we supposed to do?

I'm supporting Newt until it's over. There is no way I want to be in the position of having to choose between Romney and Obama.

I wonder if she will probe the Jewish faith and its attitudes toward non practicing Jews.

Yep it will be 7X24 on the MSM & networks!
Look for season 3 of Sister Wives.
"September Dawn (about the Mountain Meadow Massacre)" will be on network TV. Then there will be some talking heads to keep the buzz going about how it relates to today.
Look for a made for TV movie on the "Salamander Letter Murders".
Also probably some Rat prosecutor in the West will decide to go after some FLDS’ers and that will be in the news to put an exclamation point on these Mormon stories.

Sarcasm Mode On:

Political journalism at its finest!!

Sarcasm Mode Off

Andrea is jumping the shark

The sons of Cain weren’t supposed to get riled up about mormon racism until after Mitts got the nomination

Andrea will “probe” nothing.

As usual she will grab ill-informed rumor and bias and throw them at some ill-prepared “former-LDS”, as though it were fact, and then dare the poor sap to deny it.

“Will Mitt running for president drive a stake into the heart of mormonism?”

I doubt that but it will have to survive in other countries because Mitt will drive a stake through the heart of America by giving us Obama for a second term and losing the House and giving more ground in the Senate. If he selects Graham as VP it will make things worse yet.

Oh, well. The GOPe wanted a Mormon, and they got a Mormon. He’s a target-rich environment.

What a surprise. I expect daily stories on “Mormonism as a cult” between now and November from the MSM.

All too predictable. No blow is too low, no lie is too despicable, no unsourced rumor is too vague for Andrea and her ilk when it comes to doing the bidding of her progressive masters.

I’d wager Andrea has had little to say about the NBP dead-or-alive bounty posters or the rabble rousing rants of Sharpton and Jackson or the shouted “sermons” of Rev. Wright during either this election cycle or the last.

Nor do I think Andrea has spent much time examining Obama’s Moslem roots or opining on his infrequent appearances at any Christian, Protestant or Catholic church.

And Andrea will do her research based on the wacky anti-Mormon threads right here on FR.

What’s good for them is they can just come to our Religion threads and copy and paste.
