Mitt Romneys Big Decision

I've really been watching this situation fairly closely.
Been reading Utah papers.
Apparently, there is a lot of pressure on Romney to endorse the new guy, McMormon (sp?) or the Libertarian ticket.
Romney has said that if Weld were the Prez nominee, his decision would be easy.
He knows and really likes Weld. He's not so enamored with Gary Johnson.
One thing is certain. Romney loathes Trump and despises Clinton. So, neither of them are getting his magic underpants seal of approval.

Be VERY interesting to see what he does or if he just sits it out....like the Bushs are doing.
The clock is ticking , Mr.47%.....68 days and counting.

Especially why do so in an insulting way?

I'm an atheist, but I do not like to see religious bigotry on DU. "Magic underpants?"

This is not the site for that. Really it isn't.

Pain.....I stand by my mockery.
But, your concern is noted.
The mods will delete if they see fit and I will abide by that decision.

Personally, I prefer to call out bigotry in public, rather than alerting on posts.

What other religious groups would you attack, I wonder? Certainly atheists are attacked with some frequency.

I just don't want to go down this road.
I get your point. And, it was prob superfluous teasing of a group that I don't like because of their political activism like prop 8 in Cali.

If you want to discuss Romneys endorsement and what that might mean to the campaign, love to.
Anyway, it's all good. No harm, no foul.
Friendship.
