I will not vote for Mitt Romney just because he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I guess even rocket scientists can be full blown religious bigots.  Congratulations, Michelle.  Here’s your sign.  Note to the KC Star: What is up with the picture?  Couldn’t you find a better cropped image?  Oi!
 
Iowa’s KGAN quotes Mitt as stating the answers to most American problems can be found within the walls of the American home.  Common sense to most people, but news to people like Hillary.
 
The AP’s Glen Johnson details Mitt’s strategy of focusing on the early primary states and ignoring the national polls.  This is important, because the MSM will ignore the individual state polls and harp on Mitt’s low national poll numbers.  They’ll be in for quite a surprise come Iowa.
 
The Boston Globe’s Joan Vennochi is at it again.  Nothing new there, but I’d say her resorting to quoting Brian Camenker takes her perilously close to the edge of the shark tank.  I’m not sure Vennochi would manage to clear the tank if she tried to jump.
 
Kudos are owed to the Brownback campaign for reprimanding Emma Nemecek for forwarding an anti-Mormon email to Iowa Republicans to “fact-check”.  Let’s get one thing clear here – Nemecek wasn’t fact checking anything, she was trying to cheap-shot Mitt – plain and simple.  While I’ll give Brownback credit for the reprimand, she should’ve been canned.
 
The AP’s Amy Lorentzen reports Mitt wants a “Big Stick”.   Again, common sense.  Presidents that don’t want a big stick are called Jimmy Carter.
 
Ann talks faith.
 
Pastor Bob gets it.
 
The New York Times’ Mark Leibovich claims there’s something of a “master of the universe” air around the Mitt campaign.  Yet, Leibovich claims Mitt isn’t able to “connect” with the average voter.  I submit the people Leibovich cherry picked from the crowd wouldn’t come across as the average voter either.
 
The WCF Courier’s Pat Kinney chronicles Mitt as he unloads both barrels at the sorry excuse for a Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.  Reid is a disgrace and deserved every word.
 
The American Spectator’s W. James Antle III is upset that Mitt only served one term as governor.  I know Mitt had his reasons for only serving a single term.  Personally I believe he took Kenny Rogers’ advice on gambling to heart.
 
And finally, today’s Bonehead Award goes to Ellen Ratner – self proclaimed proud liberal and journalistic beltway type.  Writing in the dubious WorldNetDaily, she declares the upcoming movie September Dawn to be the sunset of the Romney campaign. 
 
[Insert hysterical laughter here]
 
She waxes prophetically, claiming that both Democratic and Republican artillery is now being trained on Team Mitt and it is just a matter of time before he is blown off the scene.
 
Memo to Ellen Ratner:  Your reasoning and grasp of the facts surrounding the effect of September Dawn border on the laughably pathetic.  The movie is little more than a bigoted cheap shot at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The producers are using Mitt’s candidacy as a PR springboard and for this their capitalism is to be commended.  Without Mitt, their work would go largely unnoticed because nobody really cares about the events of September 11, 1857.  Most of us consider the events of September 11, 2001 when deciding who will be the next occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.  Your article reeks of small mindedness and unless you can tell me what your ancestors were doing on the day in question, I’ll stick with my findings.
