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
“Fact of the matter is that Mitt Romney is the most conservative candidate running for the White House.”
That is pure, unudulterated bovine feces. Romney is no conservative. No recent ex-governor of Massachusetts is a conservative. Mitt’s daddy was also not a conservative. That Osama guy from Illinois is less left.
The MSM does not like conservatives so Hunter doesn’t get a free ride.
He has more background in National Security, Military, and what it takes to lead this country. Also has served longer than any of the other candidates.
Besides a Viet nam war vet, his son, a Marine has served three toure in the current war.
Thanks for keeping the thread bumped. The more people that actually read these threads, the better for Romney. A third grader could see through your attack methods.
“-Interesting that the Concord Monitor is pushing Huckabee and the Union Leader is pushing McCain....strange politics up there in New Hampshire.-
They are practicing the politics of division; they are playing the Republicans for chumps!”
That’s because they’re extremely LIBERAL. I know..I lived there. They’re afraid of Mitt Romney because he REALLY IS a true conservative. They are VERY afraid.
Well, that explains your spelling errors.
LOL!
[They shoot Mormons, dont they? Never heard of the Extermination Order?]
You mean the Salt Sermon extermination order to the Danites given by Sidney Rigdon with the approval of Joseph Smith? Or are you talking about the Blood Atonement order that Brigham Young followed at Mountain Meadows and against Gentiles in Utah?
Yup, what a Saintly bunch.
“It is pretting telling that that you anti-Mitters cant come up with anything substantial.”
Romneycare, over budget the first year and floundering. Enough said.
Romney isn’t running it. I am sure he would have kept it in balance.
So even though I resigned under my new screen name a few months ago, I've been coming here for 5 years or so....and don't think I've ever seen a religious squabble this esoteric. Maybe I just missed it.
At any rate, I didn't mean any offense....just found it amusing, that's all.

[Romney isnt running it. I am sure he would have kept it in balance.]
That is incredibly moronic. Governor’s oversee legislation that is supposed to outlast their tenure. Are you telling me that if Mitt isn’t elected for life, all the legislation to be passed by him will just fall apart when he leaves?
I see you didn’t respond to my post on the way Mormons have persecuted Gentiles, was that history you didn’t know about?
Here’s a clip of Mitt, being kind to a cripple.

Looks like a storm on the horizon, eh Hank? ;)
Romney is an oppressed minority, now? You want a minority in the GOP? That would be the only Conservative in the race, Duncan Hunter. Why are all these moderates fighting over who is the most conservative when it is quite clear the GOP doesn’t want a Conservative?
It would be refreshing if Romney, Fred, Rudy, Huck and McCain would just come out and say they are moderates and centrists and some even admit they have some liberal leanings. Then if Paul would admit all the cylinders weren’t firing, it would be equally refreshing. If he would start referring to himself as the Cuckoo Codger, I’d vote for him. Well, maybe.
You call facts "junk" if they come from a liberal source no matter how true they are.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(sic) endorsed Mitt.
Then you (a conservative?) post a falsehood about Coulter (she has not endorsed Romney) and it should be believed even though untrue because it is from a "conservative writer"---you?
I think I understand your reasoning now...
PS
Please post a source showing where Coulter and Malkin have endorsed Romney. Conservative or Liberal source, doesn't matter which just needs to be accurate. Thanks.
I would like to see a source for that.
I saw her say that Romney and Guilani would be the choices and the look of disgust on her face when she said it was priceless. I don't think that is an endorsement as has been stated as fact on this thread.
Up to just a few days ago she has made it a point to not endorse anyone when asked on the many shows she appears on.
Show me a source because if she has endorsed anyone I would like to see proof. Malkin source too, thanks.
What a great idea!
But alas, instead FR posters have to bring it all out. Oh well...
I did, but the intense vomiting forced me to stop reading.
It was on the O'Reilly show.
url is below. I don't know about Malkin.

Not really, I'm sure the magical underwear is reasonably clean.
Recently washed, anyway.
