DEL.ICIO.USBaxter: Nearly half of GOP voters in S.C. say Mormonism troubles them
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Right there in his hand, our former colleague Tom Baxter has a poll that says 45 percent of likely Republican voters in South Carolina say they’re less likely to vote for Mitt Romney next January because of his Mormon faith.
And so, Baxter speculates, it might not have been such a good idea for fundamentalist university chancellor Bob Jones III to broadcast news of Romney’s religion — despite the endorsement that came with it.
Because his newsletter, the Southern Political Report, is now open to all comers, we can link to it — as John Lewis said — without reservation or hesitation. Enjoy.

Mormonism may be an issue for some, but Governor Romney has picked up three key endorsements this week in South Carolina, a Dean at Bob Jones Univ., Bob Jones III himself, and today Dr. Don Wilton Sr. Pastor at FBC Spartanburg. Read about them at Georgians for Romney

When Romney ran in 1994, he supported abortion rights and thought the Boy Scouts should have to admit gays. What do you think will happen to Romney when all those film clips start showing up in ads?
Romney is just like Hillary, he will say anything to win…

Mormons are perverts by just a few generations removed. Western Civilization, whose epitome is found in the ideals of America’s Founding, was evolving beyond Mormonism’s homosexuality and polygamy thousands of years ago.
America’s Whig/Freemason, Protestant and Jew Founding, in direct opposition and apposition to “King and Pope,” caesaropapism’s homosexual/pedophile priesthood and its concommitant European effeminacy, is defiled by the criminal treasonous trash running our government.
Those from Mormon families like Lynne Cheney, author of “lesbian-potboiler” “Sisters,” and mother of a lesbian, as well, carry the stain of their families’ perversion to this day…the same stain that womanifests itself in the draft-dodging fake “man” Mitt Romney, Mormon.
Larry Craig is no mystery in that “western” culture. Birds of feather flock together.
Americans from better stock had better do something about the scum ruining our country before it is too late. G-d Forbid.

20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
22 As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

Learn and be wise. LIBERAL is what G-d wants us to be. Rome’s fascist plutocracy has tried to turn “liberal” into a dirty word because they are a major aspect of the Anti-Christ.

P.S. Romney is a fake man, probably a pervert, who has no integrity…just like the rest of the politicians in the bi-partisan, CFR, false-elite who remain silent on, and co-beneficiaries of, that which is an obvious, easily proven truth to 80% of us, the true Americans: Bush did 9/11, his father killed Kennedy and his grandfather was Hitler’s banker.

Recently, Ann Coulter was asked about Romney being a flip flopper.
Coulter responded: “At least he’s flippin’ my way.”
No Democrat is right on the social issues and the leading Republican isn’t either. Romney is a risk but, given our choices, may be one worth taking. I wish we had an energetic candidate who hasn’t waffled on the important issues, but that person isn’t running.

I am so sorry about your GOP candidates for 1600 Penn. Ave.,but there is nothing,and I mean that I can do about them. You will just have to live with them or vote a different way, your choice.
I was in the Sloppy Floyd Bldg.across from the State Capitol yesterday and saw the photos of all of our young men and women who have given their lives in Iraq it sadden me to no end. I pray they did not give their lives in vain.
I along with my two brothers are veterans and we served proudly, but we never saw the need to rah! rah! about our service, nor did we critize those who did not serve. When we knew some of them were simple Draft Dodgers! Thier relatives were well off or had conections on the Draft Board. My father was a farmer durning WWII and he recieved a deferment for that reason and none other.
Those who feel so strongly about what going in Iraq and are physically able, then please step forward, raise your right hand, and repeat after me! Do you swear that you will potect and defend…….
We will then know that those bumper stickers, lapel pins, caps, and flags mean to you what they meant to all of us veterans. AF14568187
