Your non-answer leads me to believe you have no problem with it. The trouble with standing by and doing nothing, while fellow conservatives have their faith trashed and lied about, is that next someone will come after your faith. Someday, you may want Mormons standing with you on the issues (prop 8), and defending your faith when necessary.<br /><br />The other problems with giving the bigots free rein, is that it makes our party look bad, and it gives them power they do not deserve.<br /><br />-MarthaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-21136653122702794702011-11-20T14:18:33.825-05:002011-11-20T14:18:33.825-05:00TC, Which 3 have you narrowed it down to?TC, Which 3 have you narrowed it down to?Right Wingnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387554010360328076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-60961589498928126942011-11-20T10:10:34.576-05:002011-11-20T10:10:34.576-05:00bachmann thing was kinda weird, and yes bad optics...bachmann thing was kinda weird, and yes bad optics, kinda like her corndog picture bad opticsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-25266455631507163842011-11-20T08:53:00.574-05:002011-11-20T08:53:00.574-05:00"I believe Santorum is a much better fit for ..."I believe Santorum is a much better fit for Iowa," So he is a bigot now too?Ohio JOEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03487408376861656109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-50069174408304623502011-11-20T01:23:25.359-05:002011-11-20T01:23:25.359-05:00Just to answer a question that is probably being t...Just to answer a question that is probably being thought, No I have not yet decided on a candidate.<br /><br />Seems like I do not have anyone to vote FOR but several that I have settled on.

Mitt reached out to them in 2008 and we all saw the result. These are people who are predisposed with a bias against Romney. They have already decided they will not vote for him under any circumstance. You might be in the same category, although I hope you are not.<br /><br />This time Mitt is reaching out to voters who are open-minded enough to actually consider voting for him, along with his actual supporters from last time. That is a better use of time and resources.hamacahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236317902162863355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-41130450505425483882011-11-19T21:02:08.013-05:002011-11-19T21:02:08.013-05:00Texas, I don't see any reason why Romney shoul...Texas, I don't see any reason why Romney should reward bigoted people by attending their event. <br /><br />-MarthaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
