Ahem, I beg your pardon. I am more conservative than most conservatives I know, and I receive the same teachings from the same LDS church. And I am NO weakling, sir. Like any religion or church, you have have people who espouse thier own political agendas, no matter what they are learning in church. Most of the southern baptists I am friends with are very conservative and detest the name Clinton. My extended family is catholic and detest the name Ted Kennedy. If you look at the LDS community as a whole, you'll find most to be very patriotic, very conservative, and very politically active. Before you make assumptions, better check the facts.</p>
Ahem, I will NOT beg YOUR pardon, or anyone else' at any time. Your self conceived belief of being a conservative is strictly subjective on your part. Mitt Romney received the nod of the SLOC strictly by his name alone. The man is a moderate - how do you think he was elected to the gubernatorial seat of his state?
Salt Lake City, or the seat of the LDS church' power base is NOT the basis by which I would draw a standard as being a conservative. For one, I live there, for another, being the retired military vetaran I am I was disgusted with their ability to perceive true events throughout the world.
Two years on a mission does NOT qualify anyone as a conservative, and no I am not going by your post. Mitt Romney is a moderate plain and simple. If you don't like it, follow him, and watch how he is destroyed by true conservatives as he is questioned through this process.
Mitt Romney does NOT have the experience, skill, or knowledge to become President - i.e., he's out of the loop in that area.
He would become crushed under the wheels of the Clinton / Soros money machine.
I will watch laughingly as he is destroyed piecemeal in the political process.
