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 Obamas hand while saying, Im one person who will not vote for a [black]. Or to Clinton, Im one person who will not vote for a [woman]. Or to McCain, Im one person who will not vote for a [senior citizen]. Or to Rudy, Im one person who will not vote for a [catholic].
The real question is will Senator condemn her supporters actions!
Romney will not be elected in 2008 because he is Mormon. This country is not ready for a Mormon president. Especially the left and center left.
Or a Catholic one. They answer to the Pope. We will never have a Catholic president.
I’ll be voting for Nixon
Do you think the media would tolerate republicans telling Obama they won’t vote for a black? Do you think republicans would be forced to disavow such sentiments? Hilary is using this raw bigotry. She should denounce it and I predict she won’t. If Romney gets the nomination she will rely on it.
To Clinton, Im one person who will not vote for a communist Bitch.
My version.
LOL.
Mom, he copied me!

Sure, he will vote for Harry Reid. he is the “right kind” of moron.
American Jane: Better look again. I never mentioned or linked to my blog, but thanks for plugging it for me.
I think this story is an anti-Hillary hit piece, and isn’t really news. (No, I am NOT for Hillary.) But if you go around the country, you can find a supporter of ANY candidate who will utter some bigoted or stupid remark about somebody or something. This is what the MSM typically does to conservatives, and I don’t think it’s something we should condone.
American Quilter: LOL I have no idea who American Jane is. I know there are lots of bloggers who use names that are not affiliated with their sites and then plug them. I assure you that is not my MO.
Once again, the left shows their hypocrisy.
Why should Hillary even care about the Mormon vote, she sure ain’t got it.
Of course not.
Edwards refused to condemn his supporters when they tore a little girls sign down during a campaign stop, and then went as far as implying riots might happen if he loses.
This is where I think the french socialist got the idea of making that threat.
Kerry refused to condemn any of the actions of his supporters when they used violence in the days running up to election day, justifying them as being emotional and blaming Bush.
The real questions is was the guy a Mormon plant.
Welcome to the club Mitt. Hillary’s supporters have been ripping us Christians since the 60’s.
Lucky us. ;-(
Hardly. Plants and vegetation of every sort, especially weeds,fruits, nuts and toxic vegetables are native to the sewage rich soil on the democrat’s plantation.
