Mitt's Mission

Wasn't one of Romney's national guys a guy named Matthew Kennedy who was a Mormon. He was connected to the Kennedy family some way but publishes a mormon magazine - lds living. The Boston globe did a story on his company and his role in the Romney run. I think he is actually related to the Kennedys.

What Romney did in Maine proves his strength. He won over 50% of the vote even though both senators endorsed McCain and attended the caucuses speaking for McCain. I have great expectations for the Presidential vote in Nov. Romney is the only candidate who overwhelms those expectations. He is the economic genius, is against illegal immigration. Romney is set to fix our economy and to save the principles upon which the republican party was founded.

Man wrote the Mormon scriptures, also the bible. People only read them,to find justification for there way of living. Even attacking a country for oil.

What do you get when you mix a Mormon with national politics? A LOSER!!!

MITTS MISSION IS OVER. HE was the REINCARNATION OF BUSH but with NO comPasiion. HE WOULD HAVE LEFT MILLIONS WITHOUT HEALTH CARE and his immigration Plan scared half the AMERICAN PoPulation. I HAD A TOUGH TIME FIGURING OUT WHO WAS THE BIGGEST CLOWN ROMNEY OR RUDY. HAND DOWN RUDY. HOWEVER ROMNEY COMES IN A CLOSE SECOND. THIS GUY FLIP FLOPPED ON EVERY MAJOR ISSUE. HE IS A NUT. HE NEVER LIVED IN THE REAL WORLD. HE has no idea what many AMERICANS GO THROUGH. HIS AGENDA WAS TO FEED THE BUSH BACKER's GREED.


I noticed you criticized Benson for supporting the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY. BUT you never criticized him. Benson doctrine is what the MAJORITY of Mormons live by. I would like to see you go to your church and criticize Benson. As mentioned I back my statements up with facts.
There are many reasons Mormons will not come forth even though they know of the corruption in the Mormon church. One is due to their belief in Mormon scripture which they associate with the Mormon church. The leadership has usurped power and authority over this scripture. Thus, the members of the Mormon church think that God expects them to support their misguided leaders. This is much the - rationalization that many Americans make about our government. They all know of the corruption, but rationalize that it is unpatriotic to talk against the government or ungrateful to complain when they enjoy superficial prosperity."

THE LINK BETWEEN BUSH FAMILY AND ROMNEY IS HENRY TAFT BENSON. CO FOUNDER OF THE RUSSEL TRUST aka. SKULLS N BONES SOCIETY.

"Voters can't connect with a candidate they feel they don't know. Mitt Romney has to decide how much he wants to share." Who cannot connect with a man who feels that some parts of his life should remain personal? Why should Romney be held responsible for explaining the tenets of his faith? The truth is out there for anyone who cares to learn it via other means. Romney knows the people asking are more interested in twisting his words, than in learning the truth. (Sound familiar?) His persuasion toward brevity is intelligent and called for.
As for his flip-flop nature, anyone who has ever tried to temper one's belief in tolerance (the ideal that others should be free to choose), with one's own belief in an absolute right or wrong should feel a kinship with Romney. As a potential representative of the American mass, he seems to be attempting to take a more neutral/moderate political stance (difficult and maybe impossible for any intelligent human being) while trying to hold to his personal ethics. I say good for him for trying to find a balance. If he flip-flops along the way, then he is only working toward a balance. I relate to him just fine.

Mr. Romney is the best! Lt with You.

Comment: As a Southern Baptist, I was taught doctrine that contrasts the differences between Southern Baptist theology and other Christian faiths. I have also learned that tolerance that is not forced and that comes from prayer and the heart is the most desirable. Mitt Romney articulated a vision of tolerance that allows me to embrace how others define their faith and, at the same time, enthusiastically espouse my traditional values and beliefs. His message was uniting, inspirational and visionary. I am strongly leaning toward supporting Mitt. Unfortunately, "Johnny 1967" must have been listening to someone else speeking. Mitt was right on as he blended his life view and Americam experience in an artful manner. He was, in fact, not pouring salt on anyone, but rather, creating a template for reconcillation and a strong common ground for significant progress in a pluralistic society. Sorry "Johnny 1967", you unfortunately missed the depth and sincerity of Mitts message.

Members of the LDS church do believe that Jesus is their Savior. They also believe that the Book of Morman is another testament to Jesus Christ, not a superior book to the Bible. I have had the opportunity to live amongst these people and to attend their church meetings. They treat people with warmth and kindness,have high moral and family values, and they are the first to serve others in need. Our country seems to be in turmoil these days, perhaps we need someone with these values in office. I don't believe it is fair to form an opinion of a person only on their religious beliefs. We should be looking at what candidate can has the knowledge, experience, and drive to do what is right for our country. We are in trouble and need to fix things quickly or our country is no longer going to be the power it has been. We should be keeping jobs here in our own country so that our engineers and scientists etc. are not unemployed. We are giving our businesses and land and power to other countries. We don't have time to argue about religious beliefs of any candidate.

as a German I grew up knowing these two big churches - the catholic church and the evangelical/protestant church. and I think that's what most people grew up with (now there are a lot more churches/religious organizations in the public view etc.) so anything outside of that probably seems 'weird', 'scary', like a 'cult'. it's the very common fear of the unknown, I guess.
what does romney's religion have to do with his presidential run? everything, no. something, maybe. a little, yes, that for sure. I don't believe that he has to answer every reporter's question about church history, rumors, 'secret rituals' and so forth. he should answer certain question that have to do with his personal beliefs influencing his political career. we already know that he is a mormon and therefore believes in the church doctrines which teaches the gospel of Jesus Christ. everything that he didn't have a decision or effect on (e.g. poligamy, priesthood for all members), he can't be held accountable for. yes, as a member you believe the church is lead by Jesus Christ through his living prophet, therfore everything that has happened or will happen was and is God's will. respect for certain sacred ways and believes of one's church should be granted to any member of any religion.
but I think that he should take a stand for his personal believes when it comes to gay-marriage, abortion and other main political issues that are addressed in the campaign. especially explain his flip-flopper atitude in a few areas. nobody doubts that he's a great business man, but as a president of such a great counrty, founded by inspired people ('in God we trust'), he has to let Americans know what he truly personally believes in when it comes to major issues regarding the whole nation. which is, by no means, again, the whole history of the church.

religion plays a role in a big political campaign...and I would research religions as well, and I will admit that I wouldn't be sure about a lot of religions probably, but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only one, in my opinion, truly giving anyone a choice about its truth...ask Heavenly Father yourself and He will let you know.
maybe romney doesn't answer detailed questions about church doctrine, because he doesn't want to be misunderstood, quoted out of context and might be even sometimes not exactly sure what to answer. I don't know everything, every little detail of so many things. I'm still learning, and so when people ask me some questions, I have my thoughts about but am not too sure yet about the doctrine of the church, I refer them to our regional leaders (bishop, stake president etc.) and of course to the official LDS website. I only try to talk about things on a public scale, like this 'forum', when I am 100% sure about my knowledge about something. and even though I don't have all the answers yet, I know the LDS church is true.

It wouldn't be true or fair to claim that Mitt's religious beliefs have no bearing on how he would act as president. However, it would also not be true or fair to claim that his religious beliefs make him unfit to be president. If you want to know how Mitt Romney's beliefs will affect his choices, look at the choices he's already made. Religion affects the values we hold, the choices we make, and the company we choose to keep, but it doesn't cause a person to transform into a religious dictator just because he gains public office. What Mormonism is going to make out of Mitt Romney has already been made, it has already played its part. It will continue to guide him just as it has already been guiding him and will cause him to continue to make the choices he is already making. What voters need to decide is not wether or not they like the source of that guidance or those choices, but wether that direction and those choices are right for America.

I'm supporting Mitt Romney for President, not preacher. What is all this nonesense about him being a Mormon?? I'm Russian Orthodox, and I believe he's the best man to succeed to the presidency. I could give a darn about his personal, PRIVATE religious beliefs. I want a president who will protect us from terrorists; I already have my priests to guide me spiritually.

Apparently it's okay for the Senate Majority Leader to wear these "Secret Underwear" but not okay for the President? Hey...Harry's a Mormon too! Get over yourselves... a person's choice for their underwear is as stated...a person's choice. How Sophomoric! Let Mitt get to the issues.
