The anti-Mormon/anti-Romney gang will be here soon.

The anti-Mormon stuff disgusts me. The anti-Romney stuff, well, I certainly didn't support him and am very disappointed he's our nominee. I went from Perry to Newt, but it is clear now conservatives did not prevail and we are left with mushy-moderate Mitt as the nominee. It is what it is. I have no expectations for Romney other than to hope he can dislodge Hussein from the White House. RINO though he is, Willard is far better than Obama. He might even actually be more conservative than his record suggests considering he is a political chameleon and the kind of guy who would say and do anything to win and hold on to power in a deep blue state. Beholden to Republicans, even just the GOP establishment, he will still be vastly preferable to Hussein.

Trust me. I’ve been fighting with them for years over the right to exercise our “Freedom of Religion” and I’m not even a Mormom!

Meh, I don't much care about the particulars of their faith. Personally, all the Mormon's I've known have been good, decent family people - all actually far more conservative than Mitt. I am looking at politicians based on how conservative they are, not whether they can quote scripture. The problem with Romney is he is not really a conservative. That he is Mormon is irrelevant to me. I'd vote for a conservative Buddhist, Hindu, etc, before I'd vote for a liberal Christian. In this case, RINO Mitt is simply far better than Obama the socialist liberation theologist.

What evidence is there of that?

The part the owns the White House almost always loses seats in Congress. That will especially be true with Romney in the White House selling out conservatives on issue after issue. We'd maintain or gain seats in Congress if Obama is re-elected.

We're stuck with a Romney or another Democrat for eight years instead of just four more with Obama.

RINOs in Congress are much more likely to betray conservatives with a liberal Republican in office than they are when a Democrat is in office. Romney will have a much easier time passing liberal legislation that Obama, especially with a shrinking number of Republicans in Congress.

So, tell us why, then, Romney is an improvement.
