“If Romney gets the nomination, the hounds of hell (meaning the Clinton machine) will be set loose on him through the mainstream media and the Republicans will go down in flames, White House, House and Senate.”
I really think this is alarmist. Don’t generalize your negative perspective of the LDS Church to the populace in general - most people are pretty unthreatened, even admiring, of the LDS Church, even if they disagree on theological grounds.
If the Clintons and MSM go after Romney on the basis of religion, they will be walking on a shaking tightrope. I give it ten-to-one odds it’ll backfire.
In any case, even if you’re right, what makes you think that the same tactics won’t be applied, regardless of who is the nominee? The difference is, releasing Giuliani’s “drag” pictures or publicizing McCain’s marriage troubles won’t backfire and result in a backlash against the Clintons. From that perspective, Romney becomes a much safer bet.
I wish I had your confidence. I'll take your ten to one odds.
I agree completely. Just look at how it backfired on the guy who tried it a few months ago with his "You sir are a deceiver, a Mormon" statement. The audience booed him rigorously. If they try this, it will indeed backfire and Romney will get more sympathy votes than were taken away by their methods.
