Hillary Supporter Rips Romney's Mormon Faith
Mitt Romney's visit to New Hampshire started on a sour note Tuesday when a restaurant patron declared he would not vote for the Republican presidential contender because of his faith.
"I'm one person who will not vote for a Mormon," Al Michaud of Dover shouted at Romney when the former Massachusetts governor approached him inside Harvey's Bakery. Romney was kicking off the second of two day's worth of campaign visits in the lead primary state.
Romney kept smiling as he asked, "Can I shake your hand anyway?"
Michaud replied, "No."
Michaud later told reporters he was not "a right-winger," alluding to some evangelical Christians who have compared Romney's faith to a cult. Instead, Michaud stated he was "a liberal."
He said he planned to vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., should she win the Democratic presidential nomination.
If elected, Romney would be the first Mormon to serve in the White House.

Imagine if someone stood up and refused to shake Obama’s hand while saying, “I’m one person who will not vote for a [black].” Or to Clinton, “I’m one person who will not vote for a [woman].” Or to McCain, “I’m one person who will not vote for a [senior citizen].” Or to Rudy, “I’m one person who will not vote for a [catholic].”
The real question is will Senator condemn her supporters actions!
Liberals showing their true colors.(red)
I wonder if he would vote for Harry Reid?
But will Michaud have to go to rehab to cure his bigotry? Either way the guy made a horse’s backside out of himself.
So does this Duncan Hunter Supporter.
Oh and BTW....already posted.

So much for the Left supporting tolerance and diversity.
You would, Al, if the Mormon had a "D" after his name.

One wonders why a guy who says he can't stand filth is so willing to vote for it?
I think politics is what’s important. That said, the guy is entitled to vote for whomever he wants for whatever reason he wants. I had a neighbor who votes against all incumbents. His theory was, “that way they will remember who sent them there.” I thought it was silly. I knew another person who always voted for women when she had the change. I thought that was just plain dumb.
At least he has one.
Thanks, I searched before I posted, but missed it.
This liberal bigot sure is keeping mum over the Democrat Mormon leading the Congress.
On another note, Romney showed a lot of class there. He’s an interesting guy, maybe the deepest of all the candidates running.
I have complained about you. You are here only to promote your guy and your blog.
Read up on the rules.
He said he planned to vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., should she win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Well, this just confirms his roots in the radical Godless Marxist left....
‘The real question is will Senator condemn her supporters actions!’
Not unless she’s forced to do so...which of course isn’t going to happen because the MSM doesn’t ask St Hillary tough questions under any circumstances, as we’ve seen since 1992.
He’s just another “keep giving me Free Stuff” voter.
Why should she? This guy is a whackjob, and there are those on BOTH sides who feel this way about Romney. Should all the candidates sit there and condemt every whackjob supporter who mouths off in public like that? Sheesh, I dont like Hillary either, but c'mon...
I notice you and mittreport joined FR on the same day.
