Bleeding-heart types looking for a "minority cause for which to advocate in the 2008 presidential elections are torn between the candidacies of a woman, two African- Americans, a Hispanic and a former mayor of Cleveland who is more of a communist than Vladimir Putin.
Tough choices, those, and all of them Democrats.
In the interest of fairness, however, the name of Mitt Romney should be added to the shopping list of those searching for an oppressed minority to support.
As a practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), Romney is aligned with one of the most persecuted and oppressed minorities in history. Even in these enlightened times, millions of Americans say they would not vote for the charismatic ex-governor of Massachusetts under any circumstances.
And, in an amazing demonstration of religious bigotry, a New Hampshire liberal rag, the Concord Monitor, used its Sunday editorial pages to tell readers why they should not vote for Mitt Romney.
This "anti-endorsement" is unprecedented, unfair, un-American and unwise.
Editors at the Concord Monitor even went so far as to warn readers that Romney must be stopped ". . . because he lacks the core philosophical beliefs to be a trustworthy president."

That particular bit of editorial malfeasance is a thinly-veiled assault on Romney's Mormon faith, pure and simple.
Fact of the matter is that Mitt Romney is the most conservative candidate running for the White House. He is also the most experienced and qualified, a fact attested to by his service as the governor of liberal-infested Massachusetts, and by his enormously successful personal finances.
Mitt Romney knows how to work with people from diverse political backgrounds, how to overcome discrimination and adversity, and he knows how to run a large organization. No other candidate comes close to matching his qualifications for taking over the Oval Office on Ja
Do you even read your own posts, I know that you don’t read ours.
In post 161 you were pretending to have been open to conservatives, but that they weren’t doing well so you had to go with Romney.
I pointed out that it was Romney all the way for you, since he replaced Giuliani as your man way back in January.
You never considered a conservative.
I served 12 years in the Army, 5 years in Korea. “I paid for this microphone!”
Regards to your father!
All leftest sources....amazing. Do do do their work for free?
Romney is conservative. Your hatred has blinded you to even consider a serious look at his record.
I think Romney is the most decent and well qualified candidate to come along in a very long time. What’s swaying you to Mitt, if you don’t mind my asking?
If millions of people voted for Fred, there would be no need for silly stickers. He's having trouble even getting enough signatures to put his name on the ballot.
The pic was for the ladies!...lol
The "hatred card" is now in play. If you don't back Mitt, you must hate him.
Does it get any more stupid than that? Mitt is a liberal, I don't hate him, I hate liberalism.
By "take a serious look at his record", you mean look at it the way you do. There is proof aplenty right on this thread that he is a liberal.
You're just jealous because he thinks Romney is prettier than you.
Any conservative proof?
LOL. I’d be the first to agree with that statement. I look like Ralph Macchio after getting hit with the ugly stick.
193 comments so far! Excellent!
Actually amazing. I am about worn out!
Your earlier post about the result of Fred supporters spending all their time attacking Mitt was more profound than you might think.
My dad was at the Frozen Chosin and Inchon Landing.
He was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
If Mitt’s detractors didn’t have an axe to grind, I might think your post had some credence. The left obviously wants to sink Mitt because he was the one they were worried about from the start.
Since everyone around here uses articles from the left to attack Mitt, we are only doing their dirty work.
I haven’t seen too many recent articles from National Review attacking Mitt!
For Romney? That he is conservative? Zero until about 22 months ago when he decided that if he were to have any chance at all he'd better go hard to the right.
If he wins the nomination he will tack back hard to the left, that's his natural position.
