Possibly because at the heart of many of the opuses is the belief that this place has become a cesspool of bigotry. As much as any of the anti-Romney crowd want to hide or obfuscate it, the key paragraph of the article that begins this thread is the last.

And, to avoid the name-calling charge, the definition of bigotry: “stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one’s own.”

If by bigotry you mean some purported anti Mormon bias... that’s another whole hot button topic which has the potential to blind. We would do well to try to understand what effect that Mitt’s Mormon participation has upon him. At the same time we should look honestly at indicators. The choice of the outspokenly Roman Catholic Ryan seems to say that the official Mormon tenets (which have some very unpretty things to say about all mainstream Christian denominations) aren’t foremost in Mitt’s mind. That he’s another wheeler and dealer, and he’s willing to deal cards to those he has disagreed with in the past. To me it’s almost infinitely preferable to get a wheeling, dealing waffler than a demonic doctrinaire.

More like too many ordinarily sane people now standing in the corner sucking their thumbs because they didn’t get their way.
