His "boy"?
How is Romney his "boy"? Pointing out that Romney is going to be the GOP nominee and that he is better than Obama doesn't make him anyone's "boy". Most people here wanted someone else, but our candidates lost or didn't run.
You are engaged in magic thinking.
LOL. You are still grasping at straws that Romney isn't the nominee aren't you? Still living in some fantasy world where you refuse to accept reality? Mitt not only will have all the delegates he needs, he will have lots extra to spare. Romney has 1084 delegates at the moment and will get plenty more when NJ, CA, TX, etc, vote. It's over dude. Romney is the nominee. Deal with it. You make yourself sound ridiculous when you continue to suggest Romney still may not be the nominee.
Yup, a lot of those type of people found a home here. I think because Romney was not the candidate most conservatives wanted, the anti-Mormon haters were given a lot of leeway. Their anti-LDS vitriol has spread all over the site now though, instead of just being confined to the religious forums. I really think it's driven a lot of mainstream conservatives away.
Fortunately, 90%+ of conservatives don't have these fringe anti-Mormon, anti-Romney positions. Most are going to vote for Mitt even though he is not their preferred candidate. The stakes are too high. Hussein must be defeated. The overwhelming majority of conservative voters understand this. The fringe Mormon bashers will make no political difference, though I do think they are hurting this website.
Stay positive! That’s the right way to go. Quickly debunk the Obama lying ads but keep Romney’s ads as positive as possible. Like ‘Morning in America’ Reaganesque.
I will definitely vote against Barrack Hussein Obama Dada in November.
2012 thru 2020 is going to be a long, hard stretch for you to pull, pal.
However, Romney is on record (at least on record second-hand via a Rush monologue) as saying he expects to be a one-term president. After making and implemening the hard choices necessary to realign the course of our republic, even many fiscal conservatives won’t want to re-elect him.
The serious austerity the slackers of America need to experience will be a hard way to go for all of us.

Almost but not quite. The latest survey I’ve seen puts the number at 87%.
I used to think Blabbermouth Schultz should do something about her hair. I now think it’s just perfect just as it is ;) Blab on, Schultz.
You've convinced me. Guess I'll vote for Obama.
The 0bots don’t fear Romney.
He lost in one of the great landslides ~ and against a man who was corrupt to the core!
Regarding “Mormon bashers” might we ask which bunch of Mormons it is who are legitimate and which ones are illegitimate? I’d hate to be bashing the phony ones and wasting my time (if I were bashing Mormons).
I do:
Wait four more years for, at least, a somewhat conservative Republican nominee and, in the meantime, ride the backlash against a lame duck Marxist President to a record majority of Republicans in Congress.
Liberals might actually be right about Romney Republicans -- you are reactionaries. You're so desperate to get rid of Obama that you refuse to consider the damage a Romney President will do to the conservative movement and Republican party.
Republicans in Massachusetts held less seats in the legislation than at any time since the civil war after Romney was done there. And, Romney's leftist judges and healthcare plan continue to wreck havoc on the state.
No, I want to avoid a Romney President that will likely be a bigger disaster than the Bush 41 Presidency was. I want to prevent a liberal Republican from wiping out the gains that were made by the conservative movement in 2010. I want to avoid a scenario where Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia retire and are replaced by another David Souter.
Voting for Romney is political suicide for the conservative movement.
Romney's liberal policies devastated the Republican party in Massachusetts to the point there were less Republicans in the legislation than there had been since the civil war.

Yeah, voting for liberal, one that was the father of gay marriage and provided the blueprint for Obamacare, is going to advance conservatism? ROFLOL! That notion is what is brain dead.
Maybe their souls will, barring repentance, for casting a vote for the father of gay marriage, someone that openly supports gay adoption and gays in the military and who is likely to replace judges like Scalia and Kennedy, neither of which would retire with Obama in the White House, with pro-Roe and pro-gay marriage justices.
Huh? No idea what you are going on about. My point was simply that recently there was a lot of Mormon bashing here. That may have always been the case on the religion forums, I wouldn't really know. What I have seen though, is that anti-LDS venom is being spewed all over the regular discussion threads. I think this is because almost all of us opposed Romney in the primaries and perhaps overlooked some of it. In that sense, maybe we are all at fault for not speaking up loudly enough before this nonsense spread.
There have always been cranks, crazies, religious bigots, conspiracy theorists, tin foil hatters, etc, here. That is part of any political forum, and not necessarily a bad thing. The key for a healthy forum is that the vast majority of grounded, sane, reasonable people keep the fringe in check. What has happened, unfortunately, is the anti-Mormon(ism) vitriol being spewed was allowed to go unchecked for too long. That has badly affected these forums and probably driven a lot of good, decent conservatives away.
It doesn't. But, it avoids a bigger disaster -- a Romney Presidency, which will be bigger than either Bush Presidency.
You keep wanting to pretend voting for a man with liberal record and no principles is going to make the country better. It won't.
