[BlackElk]

I am a Roman Catholic and one of the primary anti-Romney FReepers and I have NEVER opposed Romney because of his Mormonism. I have, in fact, repeatedly posted that I would defend him or any other Mormon from attacks so motivated which are anti-Mormon bigotry. Every Mormon I have ever known personally has been a fine and admirable person.

I certainly disagree with the religious tenets of Mormonism in many respects but one of my major problems with Romney is that he is a phony Mormon just as he is a phony Republican and a phony "severe conservative." The Mormon Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a PRO-LIFE church, a PRO-FAMILY church and as to public policy a CONSERVATIVE church. Romney has an entire career of being an enthusiastic baby-killer as to abortion, an enthusiastic marriage killer by support of lavender hoopla posing as "marriage," and a liberal who fled from any suggestion that he might have supported Ronald Reagan.

Other Mormons who fall far short of the good moral policies of the Mormon church were Frank Church and anyone in public office, now or ever, named Udall. To say that opposition to Romney, Church or the Udalls is anti-Mormon is to utter absolute libel against the Mormon faith which each of them have regularly ignored in their expedient search for votes.

As a Catholic, for the same reasons, I despise John Kerry, anything ever in public office named Kennedy and related to the Hyannis Port Clan Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Rosa DeLauro, Kirsten Gillibrand, Robert Menendez, Susan Collins, Robert Casey the Younger, anything named Cuomo, Patty Murray, Richard Durbin, and a whole lot more including phony "Catholic" Republicans with similar anti-Catholic voting records. That does not make me or anyone else criticizing such immoral monsters anti-Catholic. There has been precisely one baptized Catholic who has ever served as POTUS. That was John Kennedy and I would gladly trade him in for a good Mormon, a good reformed Christian, a good Jew or a good Catholic and remove Kennedy from the history books. Myth Romney is not a good anything religiously any more than Obozo is.

You want to support that POS Myth Romney? Feel free. The US is still a free country until it elects either of these pathetic creatures in November. God gave you free will. Use it. However, don't you dare indulge this Romneyite fantasy that only prejudice against Mormons and their faith could possibly explain not voting for the wondrous Myth.

I don't vote for candidates who have persecuted Catholicism which candidates include BOTH Obozo and Myth. I would not have chosen Caligula, Nero, Diocletian or Julian the Apostate to be Roman emperors either for similar reasons. The freedoms granted by God and protected under the First Amendment guarantee that I need not vote for either or to make believe that Myth Romney's tactics in the primaries or as Massachusetts' governor are acceptable either. He bought his nomination and now he should suffer the consequences of his despicable tactics. Whichever of Obozo or Myth loses, I will celebrate the loss of the loser and immediately join anyone else with common sense and RESIST the winner if it is either of them.

I have voted GOP in each and every POTUS election of the last 44 years. That ends this year and Myth's alleged Mormonism has nothing whatsoever to do with that decision.

That's honorable; for MORMONs need all the help they can get.

But; will you ALSO defend mormonISM?

That's good; for Mitt's 'mormonism' is about as evident as Jeff Head's.

Elk, you forgot Harry Reid. Like Blackelk, my continued opposition to Romney has nothing to do with his Mormonism. Heck, take him out, and replace him with Bay Buchanan, Glenn Beck, Jeff Flake or even Orrin Hatch, and I would be willing to vote the ticket. Romney doesn't meet the standard of any of those Mormons in positions or record.

The Mormonism means nothing to me.
The SLC Olympics mean nothing to me.
Bain Capital means next to nothing for me.
RomneyCare, alliances with homo-agitprop orgs and judicial picks mean a WHOLE lot to me.


I read enough of these threads to know that people with my reasoning or close to it, including the owner, are the plurality. I am also pretty sure that the ones who DO have issues with Mormonism (as is their right), would mostly not support Romney even if he had been a United Methodist all of these years.

As a Catholic, you are called to vote for the least harm.
