Another Perspective

No Mormons Need Apply

The real reason Mitt Romney went down in flames.

(Page 2 of 2)

What else besides Romney's faith can explain the ex-governor's poor showing? Romney had the solid backing not only of conservative pundits and politicians, but he had the overwhelming endorsement of Big Talk Radio, including Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage. These hosts were, and are, rabidly anti-McCain and Huckabee.

Now with Mitt Romney's departure Republicans have two liberal Baptists to choose from, neither one with a small government bone in his body. Is it possible that evangelical Republicans were so anti-Mormon that they cut a deal with the devil?

That's a turn of phrase, unless one seriously suspects that Huckabee or McCain is the devil. Apparently some true believers believed Romney was.
