A new myth is developing. We are being told that people objected to the flip-flopping and were called bigots.

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.

No, the cry came up when someone starting picking on him for his Mormonism.

EXACTLY!! I followed most of those threads, and even joined in on occasion. There were 2 seperate conversations going on in those. Mitt's flip flopping, and a completely seperate discussion of Mormon doctrine. It was the Mittbots that tied the two together. I guess it grows from a lifelong history of victimhood. Sorry, but it's there clearly for anyone to see. As a former FredHead, once he was out I was leaning toward Mitt, despite his flip flops, simply because he was "sounding" like the most conservative one left. At the same time, I still held to my belief that the LDS doctrine is hatched from the pits of hell. But, I am voting for a president, not a spiritual leader. And before he dropped out, he was the closest to my beliefs....unfortunately.

One curious thing that I've noticed among all this "poor me, I'm a victim" attitude. Mitt was the only one who DIDN'T portray that trait. Perhaps his ardent supporterd would have done well to mirror that image, instead of the constant whining.

I don’t have to look it up. I was in the middle of the battle.
