Sen. Mitt Romney Final Floor Speech
CSPAN via YouTube ^ | Dec 4, 2024 | Mitt Romney

Posted on 12/08/2024 3:41:55 PM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney delivers farewell remarks on the Senate floor. Romney, who served just one term in the Senate and chose not to seek reelection, reflects on his time in the legislative body and some of his accomplishments, including working across the aisle on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill and the Electoral Count Act, as well as his work on protecting religious freedoms. He says that while he may not miss the Senate, he will miss his colleagues and that he hopes to be a voice of unity after he leaves office.

His one term seemed like an eternity.

No, don’t ever retire that. One day, 25 years from now, you can post it on some thread somewhere, and it will be either politically or sarcastically relevant, but many won’t know why.

Utah apparently found someone about as bad to replace him.

What’s up with Utah?

“...I don’t believe he is a man of God by any measure.”

The “Latter Day Saints” don’t believe in the same God as we do.

Just think, this clown was our presidential nominee in 2012

And McCain was ours in 2008! We’ve come along way

His father betrayed and actively sabotaged Goldwater.

He betrayed and actively sabotaged Trump and even his fellow Utah Senator Mike Lee (who had campaigned for Mitt).

His niece Rona Romney McDaniel actively sabotaged the entire party to bring down candidates and blame Trump in an attempt to return the Party to the Bush wing.

What a family!!!

Yeah well when you will only vote for members of your cult, that pretty much covers it.

What’s that got to do with describing a sect’s, cult’s, denomination’s or religion’s etc. concept of deity as a “space alien”? I was wondering where you got that information.

“If you choose to follow my Son—if your desire is really to become more like Him—then in time you may live as we live and preside over worlds and kingdoms as we do.”

That’s in their book. Sounds like Dune.

Oh and God was a man from another planet...
“God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret. If the veil were rent today, and the great God who holds this world in its orbit, and who upholds all worlds and all things by his power, was to make himself visible,—I say, if you were to see him today, you would see him like a man in form—like yourselves in all the person, image, and very form as a man”

Here you go. Knock yourself out. Don’t be a lazy douchebag and do your own research. Don’t wait for a space alien named Moroni to give you a gold tablet...

“Mitt is and always will be a RINO, but he still is undeniably skilled in certain types of large scale management.”
That type of thing has happened before. In 1945 President Truman asked Herbert Hoover for help in delivering aid to war torn Europe:

LOL...I don't need to "knock myself out" understanding an omnipotent being is capable of taking any form that suits. And I understand your clear explication of a possible concept of LDS deity.

I can sense the passion you bring to the subject from the concluding sentence to your post. I, for one, have always found it nearly impossible to explain to other believers in Christ the meaning of their differing doctrines and sacred texts.
