Mitt Romney: Ronald Reagan in Sacred Underwear?
The Student Operated Press ^ | December 24, 2007 | John Lillpop

Posted on 12/26/2007 7:02:35 PM PST by TheLion

Bleeding-heart types looking for a "minority cause” for which to advocate in the 2008 presidential elections are torn between the candidacies of a woman, two African- Americans, a Hispanic and a former mayor of Cleveland who is more of a communist than Vladimir Putin.

Tough choices, those, and all of them Democrats.

In the interest of fairness, however, the name of Mitt Romney should be added to the shopping list of those searching for an oppressed minority to support.

As a practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), Romney is aligned with one of the most persecuted and oppressed minorities in history. Even in these enlightened times, millions of Americans say they would not vote for the charismatic ex-governor of Massachusetts under any circumstances.

And, in an amazing demonstration of religious bigotry, a New Hampshire liberal rag, the Concord Monitor, used its Sunday editorial pages to tell readers why they should not vote for Mitt Romney.

This "anti-endorsement" is unprecedented, unfair, un-American and unwise.

Editors at the Concord Monitor even went so far as to warn readers that Romney must be stopped ". . . because he lacks the core philosophical beliefs to be a trustworthy president."

IHT: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/12/23/america/Romney-Anti-Endorsement.php

That particular bit of editorial malfeasance is a thinly-veiled assault on Romney's Mormon faith, pure and simple.

Fact of the matter is that Mitt Romney is the most conservative candidate running for the White House. He is also the most experienced and qualified, a fact attested to by his service as the governor of liberal-infested Massachusetts, and by his enormously successful personal finances.

Mitt Romney knows how to work with people from diverse political backgrounds, how to overcome discrimination and adversity, and he knows how to run a large organization. No other candidate comes close to matching his qualifications for taking over the Oval Office on Ja

He was part of the infestation.

...and by his enormously successful personal finances.

Started with a gold-plated Rolodex as a place to park the old man's money after his brainwashed POTUS run.

That is a false statement.

Romney's "conservatism" is only as old as this campaign. Prior to that he was a total liberal. Many have commented that his conversion is suspect.

Others have said they'll be willing to believe in his conversion to conservatism for THE NEXT ELECTION CYCLE. He needs a period of time in which to prove himself.

Romney's record is a record of pro-abortion, pro-gay agenda, pro-illegals, anti-gun, etc.

He has that ability to cross political lines and draw in the voters. He especially demonstrated that in Mass with an 85% adverse legislature. He accomplished some incredibe things.

-—I may disagree with Mormon theology-—

As a Lutheran so do I, but of course I agree with Luther that each of us must listen to our own conscience and make our decisions of our own free will. Coercion is the enemy of free will.

Why, if a church were able to compel a man to do THAT, then what else might they be able to compel him to do?

Ask a Ron Paul follower.

This place has nearly become Animal Farm. It will be painful to watch if Thompson doesn’t get the nomination.

Tomorrow night we will become sock sisters.

It will be a solemn occasion and one which will or will not change the courses of our lives.

Romney is the one candidate Hillary fears the most. Notice now how all of a sudden McCain is spoken of as a viable candidate.

I think people do need to study Romney’s actual record, a lot of which can be found here:

He Goverened Mass as a conservative.

Mr. Romney (a policy wonk and someone who has gotten things done, unlike her) matches up very, very well against HIllary.
