Romney Book a Fitting Prelude to 2012 Presidential Run (BARF ALERT)
US News & World Report ^ | 2010-01-15

His supporters say the book will show Romney is more thoughtful than Sarah Palin.

BY KENNETH T. WALSH

Friends of Mitt Romney say his upcoming book, No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, is a lengthy and detailed explanation of his philosophy and should be a fitting prelude to a 2012 presidential campaign if Romney decides to run. The book, which comes out March 2, seems designed to position Romney as a thoughtful conservative who has ruminated carefully about the major issues of the day, ranging from the global economy to national security.

Romney supporters say it will serve as a conservative contrast to the views of President Obama but also will show Romney to be far more thoughtful than former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who is also considering a 2012 run. Her book, Going Rogue, is a bestseller, but it has apparently done little to improve her reputation as a thinker and a leader who can reach out beyond her conservative base and master the complicated challenges of national office.

Funny, seems your church disagrees with you.

Perhaps you were out that day in Catechism.

Here, this will help:

Obviously you agree with Diogenesis...

You post this so often.

I am beginning to wonder if you are really a double agent.

"Mormons are Christians.
From a Catholic."

Sure. And I'm Mickey Mantle.

See, there's that pesky Christian Doctrine that mormons don't adhere to. Kinda makes all the difference in the world. Please look into it.

Yep. Too bad it's not the same Jesus Christ of the Bible.

Operative word here is become. (Ask colorcountry, reaganaut, szonian & thousands of others!)

Republicans and Conservatives said "no thanks" to Mitt waaaaay early last time.

Only a fool, his pride, and his money would consider running again.

There is only ONE thing I will say favorable to Mr. Romney...

Out of all those people running for president, Mitt was the only one of them who was not getting a government check.

But now, I don't see how Mitt can even fathom a run because frankly, he's too liberal or too evasive on a lot of the issues important to me as a voter.

Some things I will not compromise on.

(And the Republicans need to duct tape McCain's face as well and forget Giuliani.)

I’ll take a common sense Conservative (like Sarah) over a thoughtful “Conservative” (snicker) like Romney any day!

Mormons don't in the least bother me. Every one of them I have dealt with personally have always been ethical. There are some other denominations of the Christians who I will not personally associate with at all. I'm willing to bet my own personal knowledge about your Bible against just about any preacher in the country, and I'm an atheist. There is one ultimate measuring stick in the Bible... it is the book of Genesis. If it don't measure up to Genesis, it is simply not Christian period... That said, I would openly challenge anyone here or anywhere about any view contrary to your doctrine...

I would engage in some long-winded discussion, but I fear it would simply be a long-winded waste of time.

The cult of mormonism was founded by a fake profit named Joe Smith. The mormons do not follow Christian Doctrine. They believe God was once a man;that there a multiple gods; that mortals can become god or god-like; they do not follow the miracle of the virgin birth of Christ. These are simply samplings.

Joe Smith lead mormons astray; straight into a cult. The mormons rejected Christianity in the 1,800's and now want back in. How can that happen, when they reject orthodox Christianity?

It's a lose/lose situation for them. All because of the fake profit that they have chosen to follow.

So much to read, so you can begin here if you'd like.

Romney has already struck out; he's out of cards. He will never be a Republican nominee, not only because he is a RINO and a fake conservative, but also (and most importantly) because he is a mormon in a Nation predominantly comprised of Christians, and a whole heck of us that see and realize the difference.

I agree with you to a degree but, tell me, who defined what the church is and who said this in your Gospel:

“Wherever more than two of you are gathered for my namesake, there shall I be in your midst.”

Jesus (God) defined his founded Church and made Peter the first Pope. Jesus was the first convert to Catholicism. :>

The quote surely is from Jesus, but that transation appears different from what I recall.

No, that is not what the Gospel says...

Try these...

“If they do not listen to Moses and the prohets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.”

Dash, I’m not a Biblical theolgian, and I’m not sure where you’re headed in this with the Abraham quote.

1. You’re lying; or

2. You’re not thinking (that’s a nice way of saying ...).

That’s all I have to say about your horrid post to me.

And notice that I’m not asking for your answer if it’s #1 or #2 above, because frankly I don’t care.

Let me say this again, I don’t THINK this horrid stuff let alone post it (stupid) for everyone to see — and I don’t care who it’s about — John McCain, Sarah Palin, etc.,etc. It’s not Mormon, it’s not Catholic, it’s not Jewish — it’s not God-like, AND it’s not ADULT-like.

Hum...

I am still thinking "double agent", and I think you misunderstand.

I do not think it is for the left by any means.

I think you really are hard core conservative but by being such a caricature of a Romney supporter, a "Romneybot" if you will, you are helping the Conservative cause that opposes him. Ergo a double agent.

It really is quite brilliant if true, which I hope it is, because if you really are this enamored (and fooled) by Mitt...

Well I may have to reevaluate that "working for the left thing" even if it is unintentional by ignorance or blind love for Romney.

Typical. Can’t defend so the next step is deflection.

Let me know when you get to name calling...
