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
The Morman supporting posters on this thread (and all others I have read) back off on defending their faith with their own books that it seems they are not fimilar with.
Therefore they will not acknowledge any of their own writings touted as “scripture” when it is presented to them if it does not square with their views. Facts are ignored and cute little one liners are sent to those that try to show them what their religion believes.
Keep braying.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Clara Lou! : )
“Romney sought advice from the man he admires most in this world, Mormon President Gordon Bitner Hinckley. The conversation eventually turned to whether a run for the presidency would be good for him and the church. The specifics of the conversation are, of course, known only to people who were there.”
Wow, great quote and exactly to the point.
I don’t begrudge someone seeking guidance from their “spiritual” leaders; it is to be expected. However, when they try to say that those “leaders” won’t influence them, it makes me mad. And mormons consider Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and their “successors” down to the current Gordon Hinckley to be “prophet, seer, and revelator”
They put there headman on a much higher plain than Roman Catholics do the Pope. So, the comparison between Kennedy and Romney is bogus.
Funny title. bmflr.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

Why the smart money is on Duncan Hunter

In this poll Hunter is up 3% and even with Paul and Thompson.

“I don’t begrudge someone seeking guidance from their “spiritual” leaders; it is to be expected.”
Romney didn’t go to his personal Minister or Priest, this was a meeting with members of the inner power structure of the entire church presided over by President Hinckley himself.
Now you are claiming that they volutarily left? Instead of being driven out to their deaths. How funny.
But as far as the numbers go, Mormons killed more non-mormons than non-mormons killed Mormons.
Not when you take into account all the Mormons who died of sickness and disease after being driven out of their homes in the winter. There is no difference between killing someone from a bullet or pneumonia.
For a little clarity on Warfare may I suggest Gun, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond.
Not according to Sharpton!
He'd reverse the list, putting IRISH up around third and MORMONS way down!
Quit trying to upset where LG wants to go with his ideas!
Mindreading alert!
HA Ha ha!
I've exposed that MORMONS will SCREAM to mamma to protect their precious little secrets!
