PT Barnum was right...
The fact that so many here like Glenn Beck should tell you it isn't his religion but his politics and lying that turn Conservatives off of Mitt.
voting for someone just because of their religion is like the idiots that gave us Obama because he is black. Try voting on principles. It's a great feeling!
Amen!
Just waiting for the usual suspects to chime in...
Yoohoo
I like Sarah Palin too and not too kean on what some in McCain Camp is doing to her.
I like an open field to hear many voices ans see what folks are thinking and what applies to the unfolding events of today.
I believe in Love One Another!
Wow, thank you for the info.
I knew I wasn’t a Romney fan; but I didn’t know I had THIS much not to like about him.
Its those fear tactics that have destroyed the GOP and shifted it to the left. Conservatives know better than to fall for that crap- again.
But is that a reason to just rollover now?
If so, just dub Sir Mitt the GOP champion and be done.
A couple of other points, I don't think many Fred “groupies” here jumped on the Mitt band wagon and I don't recall much "Vote McCain or Die" here, more like "damn, well maybe we can stop Obama, and he did pick Palin..."
Thank you, Jim.
There are far too many Romney cheerleaders in FR.
I love you Jim. :D

Hey stranger you don't know me or my heart and mind you can drink all the kool aid propaganda you want...
For me there is a Spiritual war going on between Heaven and earth
Eph 3
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Eph 6
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
But now isn’t the time for “vote Romney or else.” NOW is the time to give us a better candidate than Romney.
We must defeat Romney NOW or we WILL be faced with the untenable option of having to vote for him later.
Well that, and the white horse prophecy.....
LDS attachment to the Constitution has been further encouraged by an important oral tradition deriving from a statement attributed to Joseph Smith, according to which the Constitution would "hang by a thread" and be rescued, if at all, only with the help of the Saints. Church President John Taylor seemed to go further when he prophesied, "When the people shall have torn to shreds the Constitution of the United States the Elders of Israel will be found holding it up to the nations of the earth and proclaiming liberty and equal rights to all men" (JD 21:8). To defend the principles of the Constitution under circumstances where the "iniquity," or moral decay, of the people has torn it to shreds might well require wisdom at least equal to that of the men raised up to found it. In particular, it would require great insight into the relationship between freedom and virtue in a political embodiment of moral agency. (Encyclopedia of Mormonism, Vol.1, 1992)
You're all alike....
In my religion we don’t believe in abortion nor could one serve the office of Bishop or Stake president.
We also try to befriend those who do not always agree with our belief hoping that their hearts and minds will will soften towards the will of the Lord.
That still does not change the moral of our convections!
I have been bless after my conversion and the eyes of my understanding to receive confirmation and also to understand more of the LORD than when I was in the mainstream realm.
Its like in the secular world many feel the same way when they hear Rush speaks it is things that many knew in their private thoughts and awareness is validated!
Please advise colorcountry that edit version of the Tanners is the words of those who left the Church like yourself and speak with bitter tongue!
the devil speak with half truths too...
Also that your husband and many in your family are still standing firm as LDS!
I know those who love the Lord no matter their faith must have some feeling of concern to day!
