First, there are bigots everywhere, some of the biggest are native Hawaiians I might add.

Second these people will not go on TV, they will talk among themselves and if Romney is the nominee they will not vote. I do not support their position, though I dislike Romney on political grounds, but I do understand how they will react. Frankly I don't see a problem because the Governor will not get the nomination.

Agreed.

My point is to avoid having the GOP (or its components) come across as such, whether its in Hawaii or Texas or where ever it may be. It does nothing but fuel and give ammo to those we REALLY don't want.

I don't know a thing about Mitt's politics. He could be a Reid. Who knows. I can't say one way or another.

Reid is a Mormon. I am a Mormon. Would I vote for Reid? Heck no.

My whole point is, at least publicly keep the criticism based on politics...not you personally, but in general I think thats a good rule of thumb. Thats my whole point.
