I am pro-Thompson, btw.
I object to the too liberal past leadership of Mitt Romney, but even that would not prevent me voting for him against the clintons. HOWEVER, I am convinced that if he gets the nomination to run against the Rodham-rodent the DNC and their leftist sycophancy in the mainstream media will destroy Mitt’s chance to be elected by merely exposing the heresies of Mormonism to Christian conservatives who make up a significant enough percentage to cause the loss if they choose to not vote for a Mormonism active, bishop adherent. In the event that he does get the nomination, I am currently arranging words to try and overcome this wall of Mormonism heresies and get Mitt the votes of Christian conservatives ... but it is not looking hopeful when the condescending, twisting, insulting, deceitful methodology of the Mormonism Apologists airs as we see on these FR threads.
And one of the ways she will beat him is to start a smear campaign against all things Mormon, past and present. I don’t care how unfair it will be, it will work.
Romney isn’t a good enough candidate to overcome that. His conservative record is spotty as best. Guns, abortion, you name it.
Grass root conservatives will not be chomping at the bit to go out and fight for him.
