Romney attends Celtic playoff game on Sunday.

Post by _Fence Sitter »

I don't know if anyone here noticed but Romney attended the Celitc's NBA playoff game yesterday (Sunday). I am not sure how other faithful LDS see that but I know my TBM family would see that as a no no on Sunday.

Me, I don't care what he does on Sunday, but I did find it mildly interesting.

Charles Barkley spouted the left wing mantra regarding it. Something akin to "if I can't see you, you can't see me". He did admit Romney was a nice guy though. My own opinion is that Sir Charles is racist in the same way most blacks who voted for Obama are; they voted for him because he is black (only half). CB can't maintain his entourage and standing with the NAACP whores without making public gaffes like this though he might himself secretly vote for Romney in November.

You did not just say that most blacks who voted for Obama are racist. You really didn't just say that, did you?

Because black people are known to vote in droves for Republicans when black democrats aren't available, right bcspace?

Individually, it depends on why they voted for him. Wouldn't you agree that voting for or against someone because of their skin color is racist?

You said most blacks voted for Obama because they were racist. That's a damned lie, and a racist statement to boot. You have no evidence for it; it's just something you spewed out because you are a bigot.

Do you think Romney is a hypocrite for attending a pro basketball game on a Sunday?

What if you voted for someone because of their religion? Would that make you a religious bigot? Mormons tend to vote republican anyway, but using your logic, most Mormons are voting for Romney because of his religion. That's religious bigotry.

Are you able to answer the question? The Democratic party itself is racist and encourages such.

What if you voted for someone because of their religion? Would that make you a religious bigot? Mormons tend to vote republican anyway, but using your logic, most Mormons are voting for Romney because of his religion. That's religious bigotry.


Is it wrong or bigoted to vote for or against someone because of their beliefs? What if I don't agree with all women being made to wear the veil, Muslim or not, or that non Muslims must pay a special tax or convert or die? What about it being legal to beat a wife a certain way because she is disobedient to her husband? Does it make me a religious bigot if I don't vote for a Muslim because he believes in Sharia law?

So likewise, I don't consider you a religious bigot if you vote against a Mormon because of the Church's stance on gay marriage.

Exactly the point I made when he threw out this racist claim before.

Mittens has been getting over 90% of the Mormon vote in the primaries. We know it's not because of his political record, because most Mormons in the west are far to the right of Governor Romney. It has to be a vote based on his religious identity.

Bigots.

Doubtful. There is no other candidate to the right with a snowball's chance to beat Obama. That Romney is LDS is just icing on the cake. Most LDS would reject Romney if he were Democrat.
