...rabid anti Mormon hysterics...

Good grief. Tactically I would like Romney to limp along for a while to continue to split the vote, so we have a better shot at a brokered convention.

But I am sick to death of hearing Romney's extreme shortcomings as a candidate being blamed on rabid anti-Mormon hysteria. These constant accusations are proof of how difficult it would be to hold a President Romney's feet to the fire on conservative issues. Any criticism of him would be met with screams of victimhood and bigotry from fellow party members. Ugh.

A brokered convention will not bring an outside candidate in to save the day. Deals will be made to put McCain over the top. There is no fairy tale ending to the brokered convention scenerio.

There is zero chance of brokered convention. pipedream.

And quit yer whining about have to hear about people speaking out about the very real anti Mormon hysterics that goes on. Romney was bashed horribly and unfairly for months and were you there to tell people to knock it off on FR? hmmm, yet you have to complain about people speaking out about it. Nobody on FR is more thin-skinned than the Romney-bashers.

My sentiments exactly........

Besides that...my guess is 2 out of 3 rank and file GOP sheeple couldn't even tell you if he was a mormon.
