Should Mitt Romney be the nominee of the Republican party for president in 2012? Perhaps. Should voters support him because he's the "inevitable" nominee? No.
For one thing, his nomination is evitable - perhaps all too evitable (see below). For another, we are a proud, self-governing people. We're sometimes even an obstreperous bunchâand a good thing it is for the cause of liberty. We often balk at yielding meekly to claims of inevitability. Here in America, we the people rule by electing. We don't bow to those anointed by pundits.
But really, you might ask - isn't Romney inevitable? And the answer is, really, no.

Not only has he not changed his mind, he denies he ever said it. Biggest example is abortion. He says he is prolife always has been, yet there is so much evidence to the contrary you would think he’d explode for the weight of it, but he keeps denying he ever said he was pro abortion.
When there is evidence in word and deed that someone has said something and they keep denying it, that person cannot be trusted.

GEE! Where have we seen THAT before?? Oh, could it be, his entire religion and his co-politicist liberals?
“If Mitt were an Evangelical Christian would you still support him?”
I love Michelle Bachmann. Good grief! I watched her on C-Span make mince meat outta those newspaper goons the other night. It was priceless! The woman is like a sledgehammer.
So, of course i would support an evangelical Christian. I would like Rick Perry if he weren’t such a hypocrite.
I guess you’re right. One of the reasons I like Mitt Romney is because he and I share the same faith. But on the other hand, I can’t stand Harry Reid who is also a Mormon. I like Orrin Hatch but I find him way too nicey nice. Maybe one of the reasons I like Mitt Romney so much is because of all the unfair ridicule and mockery he has to endure at the hands of the anti Mormons. That makes me want to defend him because of all the unfair treatment. Other than that, all the good things I mentioned about him at risk of being banned.
Why?
Are any INACCURATE?
In what way?
For starters, Rick Perry used to be a democrat, and was Al Gore’s point man for Texas. Need I say more?
I did not ask if you would support an evangelical. I asked if you would support MITT (who is a RINO at best) if he were an evangelical rather than LDS. Big difference Sandy.
And you may say nice things about Bachmann et all but you support a co-religionist over a conservative when push comes to shove.
We don’t ridicule him any more than any other member of the LDS church so to claim he is being unfairly persecuted is a stretch.
Bad analogy.
Didn't YOU 'used to be' a Protestant, then turned against them and became a MORMON?
Or FAIRLY, either!
Ha!
ANY time ANY hing negative is said about a MORMON, the MORMON church, MORMON history or MORMON writings and/or teaching, then the subject of the matter is...
is being unfairly persecuted!
Hell!
Just posting the FACTS of the vast MORMON empire will get a fella called a Bigot, an Apostate, Hateful, Mean and/or Unloving.
A pretty little girl named Suzy was standing on the sidewalk in front of her home in Salt Lake City. Next to her was a basket containing a number of tiny creatures; in her hand was a sign announcing FREE KITTENS.
Suddenly a line of big black cars pulled up beside her. Out of the lead car stepped a tall, grinning man.
"Hi there little girl, I'm President Thomas Monson. What do you have in the basket?" he asked.
"Kittens," little Suzy said.
"How old are they?" asked Monson.
Suzy replied, "They're so young, their eyes aren't even open yet."
"And what kind of kittens are they?"
"Mormons," answered Suzy with a smile.
Thompson was delighted. As soon as he returned to his car, he called his PR chief and told him about the little girl and the kittens.
Recognizing the perfect photo op, the two men agreed that the president should return the next day; and in front of the assembled media, have the girl talk about her discerning kittens.
So the next day, Suzy was again standing on the sidewalk with her basket of "FREE KITTENS," when another motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from Deseret News, The Ensign magazine and KSL.
Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up, then Thompson got out of his limo and walked over to little Suzy.
"Hello, again," he said, "I'd love it if you would tell all my friends out there what kind of kittens you're giving away."
"Yes sir," Suzy said. "They're Christians."
Taken by surprise, the Living Prophet® stammered, "But... but... yesterday, you told me they were MORMONS."
Little Suzy smiled and said, "I know. But today, they have their eyes open"
