Mitt Romney: Ronald Reagan in Sacred Underwear?
The Student Operated Press ^ | December 24, 2007 | John Lillpop

Posted on 12/26/2007 7:02:35 PM PST by TheLion

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

Ann appears to be impressed with one of Fred’s endorsements, too.
.....................................
While on Steve Gill’s talk show, Ann Coulter had this to say about Iowa Congressman Steve King’s endorsement of Fred Thompson.

“It is huge, in my book. Steve King is,bar none, the best man in Washington. This is huge.” — Conservative columnist and pundit Ann Coulter on the Steve Gill Show (12-17-2007) reacting to the announcement that Iowa Congressman Steve King (R) had endorsed former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson for President.

"Pretending that is not reality will get us nowhere."

Well said. Duncan, imo, just hasn't done the things necessary to get into a viable position. It is a shame, because he is the most conservative candidate we have out there. With Romney's orgazination ability, he would probably be the frontrunner.

One more reason to support Mitt!

"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."

Mitt has it all. Hard to find it anywhere else, imo.

“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.”


I remember him as one of the laughing stocks of the sixties, from anti conservative liberal to anti war presidential candidate to national laughing stock all by 1967.

Your memories may be different, but those are mine, we all knew who he was and we mocked him for it.

"You must not be LCMS.

You take Luther’s statement and really stretch it. Having been to the Schloskirche in Wittenberg and the Wartberg Castle where he wrote the Bible in the vernacular..."

-----

I thought I'd seen it all when it comes to religious wars here on FR....But do I now discern an impending squabble between the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Church?

This has got to set a new standard for arcane religious bickering even for FR!

If there were any truth there it might be funny. It is pretting telling that that you anti-Mitters can’t come up with anything substantial. Just a bunch of childish cheap shot posts.

Jim Rubens: NH Republicans, don’t be fooled by Mitt Romney
By JIM RUBENS

1 hour, 44 minutes ago

WARNINGS ARE written like a billboard all over Mitt Romney. He has used his fortune to buy the most transparently shameless act of political plastic surgery I’ve ever seen. His blatant flip flops on a laundry list of key issues are pure calculation to win conservative votes. His loose regard for truth puts him in league with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

To measure Mitt Romney’s allegiance to our party, look no further than the words of top Massachusetts Republicans who have seen him in operation over four years.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Paul Cellucci, former state treasurer Joe Malone, former state GOP Chairman Jim Rappaport and three of Massachusetts’ five Republican state senators all oppose Mitt Romney (and support Rudy Giuliani, as I do). “I think a lot of people in the state definitely feel abandoned,” said Senate Republican leader Richard Tisei. “Gov. Romney spent three of the four years of his governorship out of state running for President.”....

You would vote for Romney if he was caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.

You simply refuse to even look at his record. He is not now nor has he ever been a conservative. He is a political chameleon. If the polls say he needs to say something conservative, he will pretend to be a conservative. If the polls say he needs to say something liberal, he will pretend to be a liberal.

He has no political convictions. His only conviction is that he wants to be the President of the United States and he will say anything and spend his life savings to acheive that goal.

For you, any fact about Mitt Romney record or his previous positions is a "cheap shot". But you'd better face facts. Mitt Romney can never get elected president. If the republicans nominate him, then we will be swearing in a Democrat president in 2009.
