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

Or perhaps they just don't like Mitt Romney. Personally, Mitt has always struck me as being insincere. Unlike Reagan, Palin, and others, I don't sense that Mitt is really convinced about some of the positions he takes.

I have no complaints about his activity on the campaign trail. He's been a good soldier.

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 think during the campaign there was class envy. McCain, especially, hated Mitt. That couldn’t have been because Mitt is supposedly a RINO (I say “supposedly” because I think the posturing took place when Mitt was running in Massachusetts. I think his positions now more accurately reflect what he believes), because McCain is a bigger RINO. But Mitt is also everything that McCain is not. He made a fortune on his own merits, while McCain married money. Mitt has an impeccable record of personal probity, while McCain does not.
