Anyone who believed that his racist past would be ignored in a battle with Obama was either stupid or naive.
Oh please. You’re a fanatic with the Mormon hate. Take a pill. What happened? Did a Mormon guy steal your girlfriend from you years ago? There’s nothing racist about Romney or the LDS faith. It is one of the fastest growing religions in black Africa. Not even the loons at MessNBC used such slander against Romney. Meanwhile as you call the LDS religion “racist” many Southern Protestant congregations are still segregated by color. And shall we get into the role many Southern Protestants, ministers and congregations included, played in fighting desegregation? To be fair, some helped fight for it too.
Regardless the LDS Church or its past wasn’t even brought up in the campaign other than by a tiny nut fringe like you no one gave 2 second’s worth of attention to. And no one who’s run for President in the last half century has more bigotry in his past than Obama and his long term friendship with Rev. Wright and his white hating, Jew bashing sermons. If Obama can win despite that then a long abandoned policy by the LDS on Blacks holding the priesthood wouldn’t have mattered to anyone. The problem is the US news media and the cult of personality they’ve helped to create around Obama, that his record of scandal and failure are covered up and anyone who dares oppose him is destroyed.
