Mitt Romney: Ronald Reagan in Sacred Underwear?

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."

IHT: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/12/23/america/Romney-Anti-Endorsement.php

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

I’m liking Mitt more and more each day. Not the perfect candidate in my view, but a decent, intelligent man who seems to have a strong work ethic and solid conservative principles.

[P-Marlowe]

LOL. I’d be the first to agree with that statement.

Hi, I'm Mitt Romney and you can trust me to live up to my promises.
I've promised to protect a woman's right to an abortion and I've promised to work to end a woman's right to an abortion.
I've promised to support gun control and I've promised to fight gun control.
I've promised to lower taxes and I've promised to raise taxes.
I've promised to close our borders and I've promised to fight to keep them open.
Trust me.
I keep my promises.
You just never know which ones I'll keep.
.
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any candidate who isn't me tonight.

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.

See the pretty man in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive man be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty tie,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing with glee,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful me!
.
I'm Mitt Romney and I'm pretty.
Vote for me.
I know I will.

I obviously meant articles attacking Mitt from conservative writers....you like most of the Anti-Mitt gang, twist words around and come back with a lame reply.

My father-in-law was mayor of Inchon at the time of the landings. Your father helped free him from North Korean prison. Thanks!

[Bird Jenkins]

LOL. Looks like you've found your true calling, P-Marlowe.

Showtunes!

I am anti liberal and remarks don't come any lamer than yours, accusing people of hatred because they won't support the liberal Romney.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Are you capable of reading? Mitt has a left-wing record a mile long (literally, I thought I’d never get done scrolling through dmw’s post). It’s all there, it’s all documented. Mitt’s record is NOT conservative, no matter how much you try to drown it in Kool-aid.

[P-Marlowe]

How did you know that was a showtune?

[Saundra Duffy]

Tom Tancredo threw his support to Mitt Romney. Yahoo!

[Bird Jenkins]

Because of my hot pink colored special edition dvd of West Side Story that I watch every day while prancing around the house, silly!

As if you didn't know...

[TheLion]

Quit supporting attack junk from the left.

Post some solid conservative writers opposing Mitt, like Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin....ops, I forgot, they have allready endorsed Mitt.

National Review

Our guiding principle has always been to select the most conservative viable candidate. In our judgment, that candidate is Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts. Unlike some other candidates in the race, Romney is a full-spectrum conservative: a supporter of free-market economics and limited government, moral causes such as the right to life and the preservation of marriage, and a foreign policy based on the national interest. While he has not talked much about the importance of resisting ethnic balkanization — none of the major candidates has — he supports enforcing the immigration laws and opposes amnesty. Those are important steps in the right direction...

Fred Thompson is as conservative as Romney, and has distinguished himself with serious proposals on Social Security, immigration, and defense. But Thompson has never run any large enterprise — and he has not run his campaign well, either. Conservatives were excited this spring to hear that he might enter the race, but have been disappointed by the reality. He has been fading in crucial early states. He has not yet passed the threshold test of establishing for voters that he truly wants to be president.

Romney is an intelligent, articulate, and accomplished former businessman and governor. At a time when voters yearn for competence and have soured on Washington because too often the Bush administration has not demonstrated it, Romney offers proven executive skill. He has demonstrated it in everything he has done in his professional life, and his tightly organized, disciplined campaign is no exception. He himself has shown impressive focus and energy...

“Mitt will be another looser like his liberal anti war dad.”

Mitt Romney’s father was a great man, a courageous fighter for civil rights. Mitt Romney has every right to feel proud of his heritage.

Some of these comments are so horrible, it is amazing.

Mitt Romney is a fine good family man.

[claudiustg]

Time for me to be running along. You do good work! See everybody tomorrow!

[Saundra Duffy]

Wow! Tancredo used to be one of the great heros on FreeRepublic. How things change.

[TheLion]

Here is another!

[Bird Jenkins]

Who's the bigger loser?

The loser or the guy who can't spell loser?

[Saundra Duffy]

They shoot Mormons, don’t they? Never heard of the Extermination Order?

[TheLion]

The most conservative of conservative republicans, now magically become liberals when they support Romney. /sarcasm
