[Apologetics] Why Romney Can't 'Solve' His Mormon Problem

[Bret Bellamy]

I'm more concerned with Romney's flip-flopping on abortion, "gay marriage" and illegal alien invasion.  Shoot, except for Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, and maybe Fred Thompson, the candidates of both parties alienate me to one degree or another.  I may vote third party in '08 like I did in '04, or write in Lou Dobbs...unless Hunter, Tancredo, or maybe Thompson end up as the GOP candidate.
