Nonsense, the meeting with Gordon Bitner Hinckley took place, it’s purpose and result was reported on in 2005.

Like a cheap salesmen you simply mutter some complaints about them not supporting Mormonism enough.

Romney admitted the meeting to Tim Russert during an interview on MSNBC in 2007.

Since you brought it up I went and found what was said in the interview word for word.

But I, I also pointed out in my address, as you know, in, in College Station that, that I would accept no guidance or, or input of an inappropriate nature from anyone in any religion. The, the leaders of a faith have their responsibility and authority in the sphere of their faith, but in the sphere of public, of the public domain, they have, they have no authority.

MR. RUSSERT: So if President Hinckley told you it would not be in the best interest, in his judgment, for you to run for president, you would still run if you’d made that decision?

GOV. ROMNEY: I would have listened to a lot of people on a lot of topics, but the decision was mine, and the nature of my faith is not to have church officials tell you what to do. I believe very firmly in the principle of, of free agency, people making their own decisions and doing what they think is right.

MR. RUSSERT: Did he encourage you?

GOV. ROMNEY: He didn’t offer any advice on, on, on a run for office whatsoever.


I really thought I was done with that last post but I guess not.
