Disinterested posted:Mitt Romney is only really racist in the way that a lot of rich white people are, so it's arguably not much of a disqualifying factor for him until the revolution comes and he's ritually murdered. Surely the sun will flare brightly with the mirth of Huitzilopotchli when the Peoples' Hierophants offer the heart of the devil Romney to the highest altar of New Aztlan.

There was also the Rachel Maddow theory of "less time for primary craziness, more time for middle-of-the-road general election pandering."

Chantilly Say posted:It did. When he was asked about it, Mitt said that when he heard on the radio that the national Mormon leadership had decided that blacks were really people, he pulled his car over to the side of the road and wept with joy. "Oh, praise be to God. Now I can run for President."

Disinterested posted:I meant more I was surprised it didn't become an issue in the national - not necessarily from Obama, just in the press. Mitt's old enough to for sure have seen some of the super racist poo poo in Mormonism. There was no good that could come from it. The instant anybody brought up Mormonism you'd see a massive increase in the "Obama is a Muslim" bullshit in response to it. Anybody at all bringing race up would have done nothing other than make the race much uglier and much dirtier. It would have started a fight nobody could win so nobody picked it.

Like if I said to someone who leans left "Romney has a lot of weird racial stuff from his background in Mormonism" they'd probably be thinking "He's a Republican nominee for President, I already assumed he had weird racial poo poo going on". It's just a more specific form.

Didn't one of Santorum's surrogates try the whole "Mormonism isn't really Christianity" thing during the primary? I swear I remember something like that.

Romney 3.0.3 - Quests and Environment: Romney will now be accepting gold as his reputation with the Koch Brothers faction increases. Resolved an issue where Romney was locked in campaign mode when not flagged for presidential run. [Requires Election Restart] Resolved an issue where Mike Huckabee would not properly exit presidential run upon losing. -PvP Romney's Racial, Every Man For Himself, will now share a CD with other similar abilities (Cooldown was increased from 2 to 4 years). - New Hampshire Primary BG Romney will be able to queue once again for the New Hampshire Primary BG.
