comMITTed to Romney!

Snarky……Salon.Com Alert

I stumbled across a snippet of an article from our friends over at Salon.Com who are the polar opposite of everything we stand for here at CTR. The denizens of Salon are nothing if not tedious in their attempts to shame those of us who live in fly over country, you know, bitter, clinging to our faith and our guns, over our general unhipness, mind-numbed allegiance to Luddite conservatism and above all, our tiresome affection for Mitt Romney.

There are, generally speaking, only two denominations that can be attacked with glee and abandon and with no retribution and those two are Catholicism and Mormonism. The hack that produced this little article, where he enthusiastically recommends another post by one his condescending buddies, drops the bucket down into the same well that was used by the Left throughout the primaries and lo and behold he comes up with the same stuff……Romney’s hair, did we mention he’s a Mormon, he’s a rich guy….sigh.

This kind of stereotypical thinking and school boy level taunting is why we will eventually take back the Congress and hopefully keep the White House. The Left does not have a clue about what makes us tick. This kind of pandering to their base where they use a candidate’s religion to frame the debate, rather than have an intelligent debate over real issues, is roughly the equivalent of waving a red cape at a bull. All it accomplishes is to further enrage the bull. But unlike the bull, we are not going to let our anger at our treatment lure us into doing something self-defeating. We are going to use that energy to continue to push hard for victory at the polls this November.

I am tired of the LDS bashing. I am tired of the Catholic bashing. You know, there is just something about being pro life and patriotic that really rubs the Left the wrong way. So, let Salon be Salon and we will continue to be anachronistic throw backs to another age and, unless I miss my bet, I can’t help but think that a majority of Americans feel more comfortable with our values.

Mitt Romney: Republican ATM machine

Take a look at this great post from data-mensch Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com.

It tracks the potential fundraising windfall that John McCain stands to benefit from should he tap Mitt Romney as his running mate. Given the obvious distaste McCain showed for Romney during the Republican primaries — in Iowa, McCain’s campaign ran a tough but sarcastic push poll about Romney’s shifting social issue positions in order to help Mike Huckabee defeat Romney — there are two and only two reasons McCain would put him on the ticket, neither of which has to do with Romney’s gorgeous hair.

The first is that Mormon-based ATM cash card for which Romney holds the four-digit pass code. And the other is Michigan.
