These blind Romney-haters here on FR almost make me ashamed of once believing FR members to be a cut above other conservatives.
Romney’s charm, wit, economic success record and solid family values make him one of the strongest candidates the Democrats could face.
He would attract millions of middle-of-the-road voters in addition to the large bulk (about 99-percent, I figure) of Republicans.
Yet these blind Mormon haters just can’t get past that denomination thing.
As a confident conservative Baptist, and proud of it, I would welcome someone as credentialed as Romney as the Republican candidate for US President.
Do I like Hunter, Thompson, and Huckabee?
Certainly. Very much so.
But Romney, as a package, looks to be the best candidate for the GOP.
I dislike Romney because he’s a Mormon? I take it you are a student of the Hugh Hewitt School.
I suppose I dislike Rudy because he’s Catholic?
Oh, and since I’m not a fan of Bush these days I must have developed a newfound aversion for evangelicals.
Let’s see...who else can I hate?
Obama because he’s black of course.
Hillary because she’s a woman (even though I’m a woman).
I disliked Miers because she was a woman and gosh darn it didn’t go to Yale.
I want secure borders because I can’t handle people with a different skin color and language in this country.
You sound like a Liberal. If we don’t support somebody it must be because of their sex, their race, their religion, and whatever other garbage they level. It can’t simply be because they are Liberals, and that Mitt until his choice to grace us on the presidential stage was/very likely still IS a LIBERAL. Nah, couldn’t be that is why a CONSERVATIVE site has such an aversion to Romney while it favors Thompson and Hunter. of course not...
Mojo, I agree with you. I believe Romney and Rudy are both equally strong as candidates. My first preference would be Mitt but I would have no problem supporting Rudy.
I also like, and respect, Fred. I just haven’t seen, yet, that he can or will be a strong candidate. And that’s my primary concern. We need someone who can beat the Wicked Witch, and I don’t know if Fred is that man.
