From the blog: I’m LDS, and I fully realize that the Mormon vote is going for Romney.

Ya think?

9 out of 10 Mormon voters...sometimes 19 out of 20 Mormon voters!

* 2008 (Utah) "While the former Massachusetts governor’s faith has been a flashpoint in his campaign, it was perhaps one of his strongest assets in Utah, where more than 60% of the state’s residents share his faith. Exit poll data shows Romney swept voters across the board, handily winning every social, economic, and generational demographic in the state, as well as 94% of all Mormon voters." (Susan Davis, Wall Street Journal, Feb. 5, 2008, Romney Wins Utah With Help From Friends [Note: The Wall Street Journal was citing MSNBC.msn.com...]

* 2008 (Nevada) Per the Mormon Church, Mormons make up about 7.5% of Nevada's population. But according to the entrance polls so far, a whopping 25% of those who participated in the state's GOP caucuses are Mormons. And 94% of those people went with Romney.

* 2008 (Arizona and Nevada): In the Nevada Republican caucuses last cycle, entrance polls found that a quarter — 26 percent — of participants were Mormons and 95 percent supported Romney. He won the state handily. The numbers were also impressive in Arizona, where exit polls showed 11 percent of voters were Mormon and 88 percent of them voted for Romney...

* 2012 (Nevada): According to exit polls conducted for the Associated Press, nine of 10 Mormon voters in Nevada supported Romney.

From the article: The Romney campaign is fundamentally deceptive. And I think deep inside, most of the supporters know it. I heard a caller last night to the Mark Levin radio show who wanted to defend Romney. Mark gave him a few minutes to present his case to his audience, and as he spoke, Mark threw in questions to focus his comments and try to get down to the real reasons. When it was all boiled down, the caller realized Romney was a moderate, but felt that made him more electable. That was big reason #1. And big reason #2 was his business résumé. If Romney were so honest, he would portray himself as a moderate. But he’s not. He’s trying to portray himself as the most conservative. We know that’s phony. How do you justify that, you character defenders of Romney? It’s a compromise of his ethics, and you know that.

From the article: I know the thinking. When that LDS tag is attached, members of the Church all understand that the person is honest, loving, trustworthy, etc., and all the others are questionable. I don’t buy that. I’ve seen too much of life to just accept that premise without any question.

(Indeed)

This guy nailed Bishop Romney to a tee.

This article should be bookmarked and presented as rebuttal to every clown who argues that a man's faith is not important in determining his qualifications for public office.

Speaking of fundamentally deceptive, did you see the thread reporting that the AG of VA is investigating the person hired to collect signatures for Gingrich that filled in false names? Possible voter fraud. Reported that Newt turned him in.

It was reported on FR from a radio broadcast. Hope there is a hardnews report soon.

There are a few answers that need to be answered.
Is there a connection to anyone connected to you know who or GOPEe? Who gave Newt his name? Who were his references? What contacts are on his computer, cell phone, etc. Are there any extra deposits in his account or large purchases? Does he have a drug problem?

The Romney campaign is fundamentally deceptive.

And there we have it, dishonesty is the hall mark of the Romney campaign.
