[ From the transcript: “ Again asking Romney to come back to show, Mickelson offered, “I hope we can do this so we can expend some quality time on here rather than the sound bytes.”
“No, I don’t like coming on the air and having you go after me and my church,” Romney testily responded.
“I’m not going after your church; I agree with your church!” Mickelson replied somewhat incredulously.
“I’m not running as a Mormon,” Romney came back, “and I get a little tired of coming on a show like yours and having it all about Mormon.”
“See, I don’t mind about it being all about that,” Mickelson explained.
“I do. I do,” Romney struck back.
The bickering went on, even as Romney was walking out the studio door and pointed out that he’s “not running to talk about Mormonism.” ]
This is the start of the implosion that we nasty “anti-Mormons” have been predicting, and been vilified for. Since Joseph Smith’s strange history is documented and relatively recent, Mitt either has to run as a non-Mormon and never mention religion (don’t see how you do that), or he has to run full bore Mormon and let all the warts show.
Since he will try and take a middle path (as politicians do) he will merely come across as a hypocrite. Twill be a nasty debacle.
“This is the start of the implosion that we nasty “anti-Mormons” have been predicting, and been vilified for. “
If Mitt thinks a simple question was bad, wait until Carville
the Snake gets him in the general election. Or Ann Lewis. Or
any of the other Clinton paid hit people. Mitt had better
start practicing now with these puff questions.
The more he refuses to ever talk about mormonism, the
more he looks shifty and evasive. If he really wants to
be POTUS, he will give “The Talk”.
Let’s hope he is knocked out of the primaries and never
makes it to the general election.
