No stake president — which is what Romney was — could lie his way into that post. He was surrounded by people who knew exactly what kind of man he was. There has never been any hint of scandal surrounding Romney or his sons, your nasty slurs and attempts to diminish his character notwithstanding.
Have people lied to get temple recommends? Sure. To their everlasting condemnation. But the people who appointed Mitt a Stake President knew what kind of man he was.
It is insanity. The unrealistic and failed search for the PERFECT conservative for the whitehouse, has given us the perfect MARXIST.
I’m not anti-Christian. I am a Christian. And I didn’t support Romney at first.
Have people lied to get temple recommends? Sure.

Thank you for being honest...
Really, the nerve of him.
Most agreed, ll. : )
No the MSM gave us McCain and 34 million conservatives stayed home. The MSM can never be allowed to chose our candidate again. We have to chose a real conservative for the next election or we are doomed.
I didn’t take your remark as mean-spirited.
It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. Those people will be accountable to God.
Mitt's supporters run circles around his haters. So inspiring.
Most of Mitt’s life was spent in private industry. Furthermore, as a church elder he counciled women against abortion. So tell me how that translates to his advocating for liberalism most of his life.

How do you know what was said in a private counseling session ???
An article by a liberal woman who was counseled by him regarding abortion(and didn’t like his advice) was posted on FR, numerous times. Hard to believe you of all people, missed it.
“a hair shirt”
No. Just an undershirt with Tzitzit be added to the four corners. (Some Orthodox wear it on top, which I equate with beating your chest and saying how pious one is.)
The Torah states in Numbers 15:38: “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, that they shall make themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and they shall put on the corner fringe a blue (tekhelet) thread.” Wearing the tzitzit (plural: tzitzyot) is also commanded in Deuteronomy 22:12, which says: “You shall make yourself twisted threads, on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself.”
There are many, many theological reasons for this, but the practical one is to remind you of G-d’s Law before you take off your pants and get yourself into real trouble.
“If Republicans had coalesced behind Mitt early on, the MSM would never have had the chance.”
Republicans may have, but conservatives never would have.
Myth has been rejected. Move on.

both gay marriage (over the Clerk's protests that the Mass. Constitution did not allow such a change by the Courts)
and socialized medicine (ruining the Commonwealth's economy along with the Romney's taxes ("fees") and coverup of the BIGdig).
Myth Romney also got a "C" rating from CATO.
Liberal RINO Romney also betrayed President Bush (as TeamROMNEY would do in Election2008)
because Romney was against the conservative tax cuts proving the RomneyBOT wrong.
Here are the facts from CATO.
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal.

Let me tell YOU something, don’t be shocked.
Romney is NOT “one of our own”. Wolf in sheep’s clothing is what he is.
Pretty childish to equate picking apart Romney’s inconsistent record of “conservatism” with beating a defenseless animal, dontcha think?
