OK, since your "Dr. Romney" is not exactly a trillionaire times who knows what, let's just settle on your third scenario & say such a "revelation" comes out pre-Dem convention. As a result, let's say Mr. Obama is the D nominee.
Did you see the recent article in Slate mag, "Mitt the Mormon -- Why Romney needs to talk about his faith?" You can go here for an excerpt & thread on it: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1930710/posts
On that thread, I pointed out the following:
Slate excerpt: Until 1978, the so-called Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was an officially racist organization. Mitt Romney was an adult in 1978. We need to know how he justified this to himself, and we need to hear his self-criticism, if he should chance to have one.
Then I said: Anybody really think the MSM won't ask this question repeatedly in '08? Imagine this: MR wins the R nomination. BObama bounces past the D leader due to some future or past scandal. Do FREEPERS really think this matter wouldn't be a HUGE issue in '08 if this was the match-up???
I would think that you would be a person who is appropriately sensitized to race issues due to the inhuman historical treatment of the race that Jesus Christ was born into. So, I would like to hear your own opinion on a potential Obama vs. Romney match-up in light of LDS history--and in light of LDS Book of Mormon scriptures where skin color was (& "is" if we're talking about the Book of Mormon) regarded as a "curse."
I surrender!!!!
I promise I’m not trying to sell you anything, pitch you anything or convince you of anything. I was really, really trying to understand what the source of the antipathy is for Romney from some people. If you’ve mistakenly believed that I was a closet Mitthead who was trying to sneak something past you, let me clarify again that I’m Jewish. I don’t have a dog in this fight. I’ve never met the man or any of his family or living in Utah.
But I do get what you are saying. You’d rather shoot yourself than vote for Romney. That’s okay. I mean, don’t shoot yourself. But it’s okay that you don’t want to vote for Romney. I tried to say this in my last post and you’ve interpretted it as being some kind of defense of Romney.
You don’t need to convince me NOT to vote for Romney since I was never planning on doing it in the first place. But I believe I’ve fully duplicated the level of intensity you have in defying anything related to Romney, Mormons and possibly Utah as a state. I get it. I feel the same way about Hillary.
So thanks again for letting me in on your views. I appreciate the time you took to bring me up to speed.
