I was speaking to a relative of mine earlier in the week. This person was strongly for McCain and Palin in 2008. There thoughts on Romney were that, he was a cheap, lieing swindler.
I hope the Obama campaign keeps attacking Mittens and keeps him on defense. Because I believe it's working.

And every time it has been done the results have gotten worse for Romney.
Otherwise the Obama campaign wouldn't be using it.

(11,816 posts)I've always ranted about Scientology and Mormonism for being "made up" religions, until a (Catholic) friend pointed out that most religions, including Catholicism, are, at their heart, "made up". (True story: my devoutly Catholic mom didn't like my SO being an actor, and said "what is acting anyway except dressing up and playing make-believe?" My raised-Catholic SO had the world's best response: "you could say the same about Catholicism"
We have PLENTY of ammunition without alienating people of any one specific religion for their faith being more "made up", fraudulent, or "conning" than any other specific religion, given the huge percentage of Americans who still consider themselves religious (although I suspect, TNLib, that Dems probably get <5% of the Mormon vote)
