The Arizona press had already elected Gabby Giffords to the U.S. Senate even though she was shot through the head. I don't wish her ill, but it certainly doesn't mean my sympathy will destroy my own brain to the point of electing her to a Senate seat.<br /><br />By the way, if you want an analysis of the religion-turned-race card, just spend some time reading at the Article 6 blog. These are some smart guys who have spent about 4 years looking at religion and politics.<br /><br />Religion-turned-race-turned racist is probably Obama's best shot against Mitt, if he can successfully pull it off. Unfortunately, there will be a lot of media help on this one. The media loves Obama and truly believes that conservatives are all racists or closet racists--as well as bigots, homophobes, woman-haters, you know the rest--especially religious people are all of the above.<br /><br />I hope Mitt wins the Presidency, but I am NOT looking forward to the continual persecution that will be heaped onto a lot of innocent people if Mitt wins thhe nomination.<br /><br />AZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-16519275422759114732011-11-28T23:41:39.015-05:002011-11-28T23:41:39.015-05:00OJ, again, how did Romney "play in the mud&qu...OJ, again, how did Romney "play in the mud" during Tuscon?

Unfortunately, many southerners will believe that Mormons are racists while they are not. Somehow their history will be forgotten. It's all a big gamble at this point.

It's a matter of editing and hateful fuel on the part of the editor. <br /><br />Any candidate can be made out to be a flip flopper with creative editing. John McCain, Newt Gingrich and others have far more flips and flops than Romney, but whey bother going after that when you have so many other meaty scandals to go after with politicians like those.<br /><br />The reason many make out Romney to be a flip flopper is because there is nowhere else to attack him. Are they gonna go after him on adultery, corruption, stupidity? A BIG NO, becuause it's not there. <br /><br />Romney has been pretty consistent on immigration. He doesn't believe in rewarding law breaking but the logistics is carting all illegals out is impossible. So, the pressure will come from job verification and the unavailability of benefits. <br /><br />One of the biggest differences between Gingrich and Romney on this issue is that Gingrich has more compassion for those who broke the law than for the many, many Americans who are affected by illegal immigration. I guess Gingrinch just has compassion for those who don't play by the rules like himself. <br /><br />Romney is the best candidate period!!!<br /><br />Keep trying to get all your frustration and dissapointment from Palin not running.
