If it becomes a sure thing that Romney will be the nominee the libs are going to pile on him like stink on poop!

They are going to break him like a pane of glass, I don't believe he can take the pressure.

Now that it looks like Mitt is in, it is time to being the Mormon bashing. How can you vote for someone who believes (fill in numerous blanks). We will not hear and end to it until Obama is re-elected.

A sign of things to come.

I just wonder how intent the moral elites are in preventing Newt’s rise to the nomination.

Yes, I am beside myself with righteous indignation that Willard may be denied the presidency because of his faith--oh, wait, no I'm not. I'm comfortable with whatever it is that keeps him out of office.

Ya think? I think his hair is greasy looking and as he gets stressed and starts bobbing around, all herky-jerky, it starts poking out to the sides, wisps flopping onto his forehead. It makes him start to look frazzled and mad scientist-like. :p

Big difference. Judaism is not a cult.

You nailed that one and I know he can’t take the pressure. It is driving him mad that Gingrich won’t just drop and let him have what is his.

Bishop Romney, is not Jewish.

Would that be a bad thing in your eyes?

I remember when they raised the Roman Catholic issue with JFK. I think an excerpt from his Address to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association would be good here:

While the so-called religious issue is necessarily and properly the chief topic here tonight, I want to emphasize from the outset that we have far more critical issues to face in the 1960 election; the spread of Communist influence, until it now festers 90 miles off the coast of Florida—the humiliating treatment of our President and Vice President by those who no longer respect our power—the hungry children I saw in West Virginia, the old people who cannot pay their doctor bills, the families forced to give up their farms—an America with too many slums, with too few schools, and too late to the moon and outer space.

These are the real issues which should decide this campaign. And they are not religious issues—for war and hunger and ignorance and despair know no religious barriers.
“Real Issues . . . Have Been Obscured” by Religion:

But because I am a Catholic, and no Catholic has ever been elected President, the real issues in this campaign have been obscured—perhaps deliberately, in some quarters less responsible than this. So it is apparently necessary for me to state once again—not what kind of church I believe in, for that should be important only to me—but what kind of America I believe in.

I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute—where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote—where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference—and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.

I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish—where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source—where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials—and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.

For while this year it may be a Catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, in other years it has been, and may someday be again, a Jew—or a Quaker—or a Unitarian—or a Baptist. It was Virginia’s harassment of Baptist preachers, for example, that helped lead to Jefferson’s statute of religious freedom. Today I may be the victim—but tomorrow it may be you—until the whole fabric of our harmonious society is ripped at a time of great national peril.

Okay, I'll start.

How can you vote for someone who believes their underwear is more sacred than Fruit of the Looms?

Seriously, if Bishop Mitt Romney did not stop to think about this (intense scrutiny of Mormonism) before he started running for the highest office, then he is a bigger buffoon than I thought.

For years the Mormon religion has presented itself as lily white and pure and the only religion that cares about families, while in truth it points people AWAY from God.

History, beginning with the Bible itself, teaches us that God often uses ungodly things to reveal Himself as the true and living God. If God uses CNN or MSNBC to reveal the false teachings of Mormonism, then so be it.

JFK did better with Protestants than any democrat Presidential candidate had done in a dozen years, he won 38%, which was an improvement over previous years.

How this is related to the left wing Bishop Romney, I don’t know.

[what a shame this level of bigotry still exists

Actually, the Mittster believes American Indians are a lost tribe of Jews who came here in 600BC. The Lamanites and Nephites had a great battle and killed each other off.

Mitt will be asked whether Indians are Jews and he will be laughed at, but you don’t care about vetting Mormon insanity.

Mitt will also be asked what Ann’s place on his future planet will be and whether she will be his only spirit wife. They asked Bachman less difficult problems.

As bad as Newt has been misinterpreted on his moon colony idea, wait till the public finds out God lives on the planet Kolob.

Of course, the question of whether blacks like Obama are delightsome will come up.

And the White Horse prophecy.

And how Mitt’s ancestor Parley Pratt got run down at full gallop and slain with a bowie knife for stealing a guy’s wife, which led to the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

Oh and I’m just warming up. Republicans like you might be willing to stick their heads in the sand and not vet Mitt on religious beliefs, but the MSM won’t, the firestorm will start as soon as he gets the nomination and he will be toast.
