I understand. I also appreciate you not being condescending about it. There is a lot of animosity on FR of late. Herman Cain was my candidate and after he dropped out I didn’t like anyone else..
Indeed there has been. I understand that we will all never agree on the details, but most of us are after the same ultimate goal. I think that if people were honest about why we believe as we do, this issue, many of us would still be in disagreement, but the hate would be far less.
To be clear, I don’t think Romney is ‘evil’ per se, and definitely not in the same league that Obama inhabits. I very much think he’s incredibly wrong on his positions, regardless of how he got to them and just as problematic for America in a different way/ways. And since others have brought this up, speaking only for myself, his Mormonism is down the list of my problems with him. If he’s elected and governs based on it though, that ranking will rise significantly. That said however, his religion is part of who he is. We can no more honestly ignore it than we can Rev. Wright’s influence on Obama. IMO, we’d be crazy if we did and no different than the libs who ignore it with O.
