Running against Romney is the easiest one of those ways.
I'd say 60-40 against Millard.
Reverse that for anyone else.
Millard can't unify the base.
When the left attacks his religion in 30 second sound bytes, those talking points will be the most many people have ever heard about Mormonism. They will accept the attack as truth.
And we won't be able to convince them otherwise, because when they attack things like blacks, indians and people of color like my son being considered cursed people through the 70's, it will be the truth.
And if people turn around and state "Oh, that's changed" the argument will come, "How can it change? Wasn't this dictated through magic seeing stones from the original lost texts that haven't been seen since the book or Mormon was written?"
Look, the Mormons I know are nice people, and I'll defend their right to believe and pursue happiness. However when it gets to the content and text of their faith in a legitimate debate, that's not my fight.
And it will become one during the election. Count on it.
This will not end well. Can you imagine if we have this crap with Trayvon Martin, even when there's a witness that says he was the attacker, imagine how would one defend institutionalized discrimination based on color?
Forget that...it even pisses me off.
Forget the fact that the only true measure we have of romney in a governing position is that he is a liberal sellout who embraces the left like a sweaty lover (end of sentence censored.)
I'm just laying out the truth here. If he wins the nomination, Mitt's going to get creamed and there's nothing we can do to stop it.
“Imho there are very few ways for Obama to win reelection.”
I disagree. If mitt is the nominee, you might as well vote 3rd party. There is no way mitt can win... You can take that to the bank. Mitt will be the spoiler for the third party candidate.
You get no argument from me. I think this country, for the most part, has been so dumbed down, so complacent, so ungreatful and simply disgraceful, that it’s better that it go down. When the stuff does hit the fan, there is going to be very little sympathy from me. I just feel sorry for the little innocent children.
Absolutely...the freedom we grew up with and knew and loved? Will they ever know the same thing in their lives?
Sorry, was ranting, not lecturing. Thanks for listening - cheers!
Too many Republican voters have voted in the primaries for Romney, EVEN THOUGH THEY DON’T LIKE HIS POLITICS, because they THINK he can beat Obama.
Too bad they don’t remember what happened to the last liberal Republican - John McCain.
Obama isn’t going to be maximizing his base either. The progressives think he is a sellout to the banks (true) and the independents now think he is a racist radical activist (true). Broken Glass Democrats will still vote for him, but he’s facing a defection rate of at least 20%.
Running against Santorum and Gingrich are two other ones.
It is odd, conservatives have trashed everyone other than Romney allowing Romney to win. Instead of supporting the ABR who gets the most votes, we trash them. Now we say Romney can’t win and we ain’t voting for him and we are going to insure he doesn’t win.
That is called cutting off your nose to spite your face.
