If we criticize Romney on his religion, then we may as well condemn Obama for being black, and Hillary for being a woman.

Now that statement is a bit ridiculous. You have no control over what race or gender you are, but you do have control over your ideology.

And Mitt has chosen the liberal ideology all his life until his very recent conversion to conservatism.

How handy is that with the Republican primaries coming up, where many, if not most voters are conservative? We called it flip flopping when John Kerry did it and it's flip flopping when Mitt does it.

Should Mitt win the Republican nomination you may count on one thing, he will flop back leftwards. His natural position.

There are 3 good candidates in this race, Mitt Romney is not one of them.

jveritas meant no disrespect nor any smear on Freepers. He is a good man who has proved himself a worker on the side of Justice and full disclosure of Saddam Hussein's reams of documents. What our special freeper may fail to understand about FR and America is the vitality with which faiths defend themselves because of our open society. Sadly, what he has proffered with this thread is a plea to squelch this openness in favor of giving a pass to a man of questionable credentials.

Romney has two problems which his campaign has sought to conflate in order to first get him nominated, and then get him past the sleaze machine of the DNC which the media plays sycophancy to entirely too much. Romney was elected in a thoroughly liberal state by pretending to be a liberal, or perhaps he is a liberal and that's why voters took to him. He certainly has tried to now run away from the truth of his liberal history in Massachusetts. Problem number two is very much related to the strangeness in Mormonism and Mormonism Apologists dissembling and deceiving to try and make conservative Christians lose clarity on the heresies in Mormonism from the perspective of Orthodox Christianity. These two problems are currently conflated further with the ridiculous mouthing by Huckabee ... a sure sign Mike isn't ready for prime time if a second rate journo can trap him so easily.

Frankly, Romney claims to be a conservative but he has a history which stretches even into the very recent weeks which bespeaks a liberal dissembler through and through ... he doesn't comprehend 'pro-life' if he casually condones dissection of 'leftover embryos' for research programs. His putting taxpayer support for abortion on demand into the Mass Health program belies a support for the killing rather than an abhorrence toward it. His actions against governmental workers in Mass if they dared to refuse marriage licenses to homosexuals isn't pro-family or Christian conservative. And lastly (not really but I'm going to bed after this one), Romney's manipulating the public by playing the Mormon card to cover his liberal history bespeaks a pandering sleazy politician, not a devout Mormon conservative.
