You seem to think that, by default, all those who are Muslims are bigots and abusers and treat their significant others poorly. This is BS. A meaningless veil that you use to cover up your unwarranted prejudice against all Muslims. By your same pseudo-logic, no Christians should be involved in American politics either. I really didn't want to entertain you on any of this, but I hope one day you can recognize your prejudice and rid yourself of it.

Mitt Romney TURNED AROUND the Olympics when everyone said there was no hope!

He TURNED AROUND the Massachussetts state from a $3B debt to a surplus in IN ONE FOUR YEAR TERM in spite of a Democrat legislature.

He TURNED AROUND Bain capital, Staples and numerous other companies providing thousands of jobs to Americans (maybe millions).

Mitt Romney is the TURN AROUND KING!!! Vote for the new ROMNEYCONOMY!!!

Do you have more of this episode? Apparently, I was on it, with the only video thats in my profile.

So, we should just believe this clown? No fact checking, no videos, no official statements, no reporters quoting Romney?

Fits in with the typical liberal position of "say something enough, and it will become true"

As a Mormon, Governor Romney knows what it is like to be the subject of cultural bigotry, and the concept of him disqualifying a Muslim on religious grounds is laughable.

Nice try, liberals. Look what Obama has done to the country now. FAIL!

Romney would have been the only good candidate for the 2008 presidency. NoBAMA. He sucks big time. Romney would have actually fixed out economy!

[Saadfeld]

That's code for Romney meaning there's no way in hell he would appoint a Muslim to any cabinet position. And his population percentage excuse is hilarious when you consider how low a percentage of the population Mormons are, and that they are mostly concentrated in one place in the US, Utah. Unlike Muslims who live in many spread out and diverse areas of the country.

He's also the King of turning around on every single position he takes.

Well, FML, you should read "The Missing Governor" by Hadley Arkes in the National Review.

No court ordered, no class action suit filed, and no legislation enacted. The state's constitution also gives authority over marriage issues.

Willard used that authority to issue same sex marriage licenses.

"(Muslims are good peeps.)"

but you're not.

Why do you hate America so much "Yunginspirit" or support Willard's apparent bigotry?

[Yunginspirit]

Verifier, so what are you trying to suggest with your rhetoric? Romney stated loud and clear how he hires staff...one their ability, etc. Mitt does not believe in "affirmative action." The Republican Party DO NOT believe in "affirmative action."

In view of 911, I would not hire a Muslim in the higher echelons of my cabinet, if I were president. Just imagine the backlash Mitt would get from the newsmedia and others if he did! I hate to imagine it. (Muslims are good peeps.)
