The anti-Mitt comments here recently on FR are puzzling. Does it simply boil down to anti-Mormon sentiment or is it class-envy?

The PRO-Mitt comments here recently on FR are puzzling. Does it simply boil down to Mormon sentiment or is it a feeling of Superiority??

More than just Mormon folk care what Mitt is doing. I wish he were in a position to give advice about our economy right now. He has much more experience in that area than any of the candidates.

Mutt Romney was elected, and governed, as a liberal puke.

He needs to stay in MA with the people that agree with him.

John McCain has said that Mitt Romney will be “at his side in January.”

I can't find this QUOTE with Google®.

Can you provide a link?

Please, share your credentials to show you KNOW better than our conservative movement leaders. Why should we trust you more than them? The 40 year comment may be a clue as to why your word may have no credibility.

I applaud your tenacity for what you believe, but do you believe all the hate you portray both on these threads as well as the Mormon bashing threads, really gets you anywhere w/ most here? Is that really what Christ taught? I really think you’re better than that.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that, for the most part, the ones who always make the most virulent anti-Mitt comments are the ones who always make the most virulent anti-Mormon comments on the religion threads.

I just HATE when that happens!

  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,
“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

You have hit the nail on the head. People seem to have rejected Mitt or Sarah, not based on an honest review of their respective records or experience, but because they were not cookie-cutter copies of themselves.

Many of those from Manhattan, who've rejected Palin, do so because they don't understand her. They can't relate. She is not like them. Similarly, those who reject Mitt, do so because he is not like the guy next door. He's from a different world.

It is class warfare on both sides. It is a form of bigotry from both the anti-Palins and the anti-Romneys who reject them because of where they come from, where they went to school, how they speak or what clothes they wear. Both sides are threatened by what they don't understand.

Many of us Romney fans love Sarah too, in spite of the fact they come from two different worlds.

Some of us are able to put the labels aside.

Good conservatives come from a wide range of financial backgrounds, education levels, religions, and social strata.

While Mitt and Sarah come from different worlds, they both appealed to us because they have a unique ability to articulate the conservative message with competence, charisma and conviction. They both possess leadership abilities that do not come around very often.

This article debunks all the lies about Mitt that have appeared on FR recently.

Just to WHICH lies do you refer?

And you HATE us!

So, your objection to someone being a former leftist is restricted to Romney only?

I came to be a Mitt supporter late in the game, because of his previous positions on abortion.
