The most pessismistic Romney article yet
 

Novak says that Romney has a tough road ahead.

If Mormons see a huge backlash against Romney, perhaps it will reawaken the sense among us that we a people set apart, not a people aiming for acceptance from fools.

i the article was fair. i hope that romney gets an equally fair chance to show what kind of a president he could be. i would be shocked if he gets to do so however. i'd like to see what he brings to the table. seems so far, he's doing just about everything right.

The religious right will chew him up and spit him out. He seems like a good guy, but I'd be shocked if he got too far.

I just can't understand how conservative Mormons let this go like so many do. I would be deeply offended if my party would exclude a member of my faith from election based solely on his/her religious beliefs.

People keep asking, what are the alternatives? The alternative is become politically active, either personally or through financial donations. If more LDS people gave money, the Republican party would be bending over backwards for them. Look at the disproportionate impact the Jews have in the Democratic party. They are a fraction of the nation's population (about the size as Mormons), yet their policies are always considered by both parties.

I'm not a romney fan...
 

and it has nothing to do with his religion. I would like to see a Reagan conservative running and Romney, imo, is certainly not that.

I don't like politics any more. I was involved for almost four decades, from a little tike, til very recently. However, after being very involved, from fundraiser for our highest offices, small time lobbyist, and a few other participations, I am completely turned off to it. It sucks and almost all involved are crooks, charlatans and complete assholes.

Southern Baptists are the Taliban of the West. The are terroists with no intellect, not honor and no pragmatism. To hell with them. They suck.

I know nothing about Romney except who his father was and that he can't be as bad as Hillary, who is one royal bitch in person. If I ever see her again, it will be too soon.

There was a joke on CB about Gore, Bill and Hillary before God's seat, with Hillary telling God to get out of her seat. That IS her personal opinion of herself. If she ran a dictatorship, she would run it like Stalin or Castro. Sounds harsh, but she is that much of a royal bitch.

Sore about rant, I loathe politics and nothing those assholes participating surprises me. I'd rather sleep with brothel full or whores than participate with those prostituting bastards and bitches again.

Build your wealth, serve your Church and find an island, cuz there IS nothing you can do. Good people get squashed and the only ones who gain power at the NATIONAL level are power grubbing, dishonest POS.

If Romney is a good guy, he won't succeed. To succeed, unless he has so much charisma like Reagan, he must become like the crap that is already there.

Tell us how you REALLY feel..... ;)

For someone so fatalistic, why do you continue to talk about politics? You apparently have come to the conclusion that nothing can be done to improve the nation or politics. If so, why does your personal philosophy require that you persuade the rest of us that you are correct? Your attempts at persuasion seem to run counter to your fatalism.

I won't even start with your Hillary nonsense.

Fatalists can't proselyte? WHat is inherently contradictory about that?

Is that TIC?

What would be the point of proselyting? The outcome for a fatalist would already be determined and no amount of work could change it.
