shapeshifting to cover RINOism, endless pandering,
GOP-backstabbing and, of course, accepting corrupt kickbacks from the BIGdig to AIG.
Plus the so called Huckster did not help Mitt and gave us the Mummy McQueeg.
Well, his money almost bought it for him (and probably knocked some other good contenders out of the race). That said, the guy is a raving liberal, and wasn’t even pro-life until he realized he wasn’t going anywhere without it.
No, his religion had nothing to do with it. Like McPain, Romney couldn’t get the conservative support because people saw right through him as “Slick Mitt”.
I don’t think it was the liberalism or the religion. It wasn’t the religion because being a moslem didn’t hurt Hussein. Being a liberal didn’t keep us from being saddled with McCain as a candidate.
It was that the msm WANTED McCain v. Hussein for the championship game, and they engineered it to get what they wanted. They wanted Romney, Guiliani and Hilary shuffled out, and they were shuffled out. They wanted Hussein to win so they ginned-up the September economic crisis.
It was a banana-republic window-dressing election from the get go.
What’s Romney’s religion got to do with him losing ???
Rudi is a Catholic, and he lost too...
But not because he is Catholic...
Duncan Hunter is a Baptist, and he lost too...
But not because he is Baptist...
RINO is a religion?
"Romeny-care" cost Romney any chance he will ever have for the Presidency.
That being said, democrats will happily persecute him for his religion and continue to play that angle as if it were from within the republican party.
True conservatives will simply continue to reject him on his policy.
Unless mormonism somehow convinced him to pass socialized medicine, propose a “bail out” of GM like Obama, and be pro-abortion and ant-gun his political career, I’d say “no.”
I will believe Romney’s religion is not a factor when posts attacking Mormonism are not allowed on the News/Activism section of FR.
It may or it may not have. But I don’t believe he is the one we need now.
Actually getting called a bigot every time I suggested I may not vote for him is what really cost him my vote. He may not have said it but many of his supporters made their feelings known.l
I have no doubt that there are some who voted against Romney solely because he is a Mormon. But I am also quite certain that many voted against him solely because he did not hold conservative positions on their hot button issues.
1. He had already conceded before most of the conservative states even held their primaries.
2. He is extremely moderate.
how could it have if Hussein’s didn’t?
Well, personally, though I am a Christian who believes Mormonism is a false religion, I would have liked Mitt much better, and been much more likely to vote for him, if I thought he were a better Mormon.
The same issues (abortion, homosexual agenda) that made him a MINO (Mormon in name only), made him a RINO. I simply did not buy his supposed SoCon conversion.
It was Romney himself and his campaign spokesmen who kept bringing up the issue of religious bigotry. At least that was the case until Huckabee got involved.
But Huckabee ain’t my idea of a Christian, frankly. He’s a snake oil salesman, and he seems to have been working for McCain at that point. Out of the other side of his mouth he was busy accusing Fred Tompson of being pro-abortion, which is an outright lie.
Romney had problems. His faith wasn’t one of them.
While I am definitely biased against his religion, I would not have voted for him simply because he doesn’t even remotely resemble “conservative”.
If I were still a registered Republican, I would have voted for Duncan Hunter...though my vote literally would not have counted. Our primaries are so late that they do not matter.
