The point is valid, and one that was CONSTANTLY obfuscated if not outright ignored by his supporters. Some of his more adamant supporters here on FR would insist that, if his Kerry-esque FLIP-FLOPPING were pointed out, then that person MUST be an anti-Mormon bigot.

A new myth is developing. We are being told that people objected to the flip-flopping and were called bigots. That is not what people were pointing to and accusing bigotry. It was the rants about how terrible Mormonism was. "They are not Christian They are a cult. They have many Gods. They wear magic underwear. They were racists before 1978. And on and on." That was the bigotry, not the discussions of flip-flopping.

The problem of the discussion of flip-flopping was that many of the claims were lies, distortions and exaggerations.

So everything mentioned in the OP were "lies, distortions and exaggerations"?

It doesn’t really matter now anyway since Romney has just given the delegates he can to McCain.

Now, if one is (was) a Romney supporter, one, by logic, must be a McCain supporter, and just as enthusiastically as one supported Romney.

Have fun!

On almost every Romney thread, criticisms of Mitt's liberalism and flip-flopping were met with at least one cry of "Bigotry!".

Look it up.

It’s not bigotry to call Mormonism a cult. Since Mormonism displays the traits of a cult, it’s reasonable to call it one.
