As with most things with Mitt Romney, it is not the whole story. Romney’s parents, and there’s nothing wrong with this, bought their home and supported them. When Mitt Romney says he gave away his inheritance and that he did everything on his own... Well, it’s a lie. It’s a truth mixed with a lie. And I suspect a lot of these charity or personal stories are the same way.

I read one a week or so ago about some couple that purchased Romney’s house, which they described as a 3 bedroom, modest home with no fancy silverware or things of that nature. Blah blah blah, no nanny quarter’s or things like that. They even found a photo of Jesus in the bedroom, and whisky set aside for non-Mormon guests. One of the libs on the comments section was bleating about some other article written by the same couple that contradicted the story.

So since I hate Romney’s guts, I checked on it, and turns out it was true. The same couple in some vacation magazine were talking about the 10,000 square foot house they purchased from Mitt, complete with stunning “wood and stone work,” hand carved door knobs, which was evidently one of Romney’s vacation homes. It was basically a lodge of some sort. Didn’t have a pool though, they had to add the pool.

So why is it that there is a need to fudge the truth? Why couldn’t the couple just say, hey, nice house, normal acting guy, portrait of Jesus. But isntead they said, ‘average house, above average character”?

Because it’s all a myth. Every bit of it. Just like Obama. He’s the Republican Hope and Change candidate. Everything about him is manufactured. Everything he says about himself is either a lie, or a lie mixed with a little bit of truth. From his past, to his present, even about his future, you never get the full story with this guy. It’s always politically nuanced. Words are vague. But catch him on a lie, and he gets very specific, because the letter of his word was technically true, even if the message as a whole was deceptive.

And this is the guy you are expecting to save the country? This is the guy you turn to?

I’ve come to the horrible conclusion that Christians in this country, and non-Christians who think they are Christians, have gone around seeking political salvation over spiritual salvation. They look to the government and to our “leaders” to solve the problems with the country, but utterly ignoring the One who actually has the power to heal the country. As a result, we’ve been given over to two wicked men with the most depraved of characters, because we went to men for help before we went to God.

Great observations. My tagline refers to our choice in presidents this year.

Enjoy Obama’s 2nd term. Your stance is so counter-intuiative that it is astounding.
