Punks are coming out from everywhere.

I figured out what’s going on with all the MittTards!

The short bus broke down and all the passengers are getting off here on FR!

Coincidence?

I think not....

[he is destined to lose due to good, old-fashioned religious bigotry. ]

As a free American I have a right to use religion as part of my selection process for candidates. I will not, for example, vote for a satan worshiper, a scientologist, a Rastafarian, Muslim, Wiccan and yes a Mormon for president. They can certainly run for president, I just will never vote for them because I will not validate their religious beliefs.

On the other hand, Mormons have every right to vote for Mitt based on their religious preference. I guess bigotry only works one way??

So all you high and mighty sorts throwing around the term bigot are yourselves some of the most intolerant and bigoted people around. Yes, bigoted against the exercise of rational choice in a free society. The bigot police can go to hell.

[I still care]

I don’t care about the Mormonism. I really don’t.

I have trouble with it as a religion, and it sure ain’t Christian, but that wouldn’t stop me voting for Mitt, if he had the right principles.

Mitt wouldn’t know a principle if it bit him in the butt.

[Apparatchik]

So, just who are the bigots?

The real bigots are the peddlers of articles like this. Yet again we are allowing the media, pollsters and pundits to define the issues. When anyone raises Obama's race, Romney's Mormonism, or Kennedy's Catholicism, they reveal themselves as the true bigots. The media, as does each one of us, have an obligation of self-censorship.

Nope! It's because he is a "Moderate" just like John McLain - who just recently "endorsed" him - big surprise there. Romney is NOT a real Conservative and cannot beat Obama because of it. That he believes he will one day be a god inhabiting his own planet and solar system with multiple "wives" begetting "spiritual" children to people his planet doesn't help his cause, but it won't be why he will lose.

I trust what I hear from ex-mormons about this cult, not the members within. Especially since I are one, an ex, that is.

Any mormon I see on any ballot for any office will get my immediate vote for the opponent. I wear enough scars and paid enough pain to purchase that right.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Whatever you need to make yourself feel better. The reality is Romney will lose because he is not the man for the job.
He is not a conservative.. We are done with RINO’s and Dem- Lites

[50mm]

Another clueless Mythbot tries to lecture conservatives on bigotry. ZOT!

IATZ.

Just getting up here, you people did some good work. I notice the deceased had actually signed up in 2008, qualifies for the 'dead sleeper troll' award.

[nikos1121]

I feel stupid here. What does ZOT mean?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Reminds me of Ambrose Bierce's observation about the inhabitants of Shiloh, it wasn't clear if, like the ancient Egyptians they worshiped the crocodile, or like modern Americans, they worshiped themselves.

I can see where at lot of hypocrites would be uncomfortable with a person who acts on his faith.

For a couple of years my wife talked about starting a business and a few months ago I convinced her to do so.

She is a writer and won two contracts to write books. She hired me to help do research, proof-read and offer advice.

One contract, which we have just finished, is for a German schoolbook that teaches English to eighth graders with “little known fun facts.”

We covered a lot of interesting topics like the legend of Robin Hood and how it was started.

I was surprised however when I saw Mormonism on the recommended list of topics that the publisher had sent to my wife.

I figured - who am I to question anything about this? - so I just stuck to my job and provided research about Mormonism.

After reading the information I provided her with, my wife (who is the boss) basically decided the topic was too weird to belong in the schoolbook and dropped it like a hot potato.

"...it appears that even if Romney secures the nomination, he is destined to lose due to good, old-fashioned religious bigotry."

You may be right - I personally would never vote for a Morman.

[Biggirl]

Free Republic’s term for “troll or trolls”.

[TheOldLady]

ZOT means that a member has lost his posting privileges here.

It is a reference to an old B.C. cartoon by Johnny Hart where a lightning bolt descends from the sky making a “zot” noise to smite someone.

[StonyBurk]

As for me I could NOT vote for the man who presented Obama and the Democrats with their model for ObamaCare— I most certainly could NOT vote for the man who on numerous occasion as Governor Refused to defend the sanctity of “marriage” as the union of a man and a woman in the holy estate of matrimony.Nor culd I vote for a man who has appointed Liberal
Judges. If that makes me a religious bigot in your eyes -who cares?

[Darksheare]

Religious bigotry?
No, he’ll lose because he’s a RINO liberal who holds the same exact views as Obama.

[TheOldLady]

So long, 47samurai (Posting History)

Hat Tip to 50mm for the ping, and Religion Moderator for the ZOT

Mythens booster trolls for some religious bigotry and rides the electric rails out of town, dripping flaming tar and feathers




It's his politics with which we disagree, not his religion
