We have been posting for years the fact that opponents to Romney's acquiring the presidency will bring about the unveiling of his mormonism...AND....I'm sure it hasn't escaped the notice of his defenders that Mitt himself does not have the fortitude to discuss his religion in detail. He dodges any reference to it.
I believe his reluctance to reveal his tax returns will bring on the attacks on the millions and millions of "charitable" contributions he makes to the mormon church. I can see the Obama campaign making hay with comparing his contributions to those who make contributions to organizations who actually DO charitable works on a daily basis.
Since she now needs a new religion, perhaps she should join a mosque. The islamic fanatics treat their women with great respect as they are being stoned and lovingly raped.
If Obama were the problem I might agree with you. He is the current mantle carrier of the liberal torch. Mittens is as much the problem as is Obama.
Oh, yes I can.
ad hominem??? Is that what you're trying to convey???
LOL, look up the word, maybe you'll learn to spell it at the same time you might even learn, maybe even comprehend, the definition.
Who do you prefer in the White House, a muzzie or a Mormon?
You have a choice, pick one.
You don't.
Bingo.
ALL: Notice the sheer corrupting power that the Romney candidacy now has upon conservatives, conservative Christians, and GoP people who want to continue to have a "place at the table":
* When it comes to mentioning the realities of Mormonism, it's "toss it to the wind" for many, and even worse, many are saying, "We've become the new apologists for Mormonism."
* When it comes to mentioning Romney's pro-abort statements from May 2005 --> Dec. 2007 (after his supposed "pro-life" conversion), it's "toss it to the wind" -- we'll pretend he didn't say these things...and ignore that we're voting for an outright pro-abort.
* When it comes to mentioning RomneyCare -- and how Romney beat out Hillary & Obama in becoming THE initial socialist healthcare pioneer, it's "let's toss critiquing both Obama & Romney's socialist healthcare to the wind..." lest we be too hypocritical.
* When it comes to repeating all the liberal critiques that many FREEPERs had of Romney for the previous 5+ years (his support of global warming; his pro-homosexual agenda actions; his nomination of judges who were 75% Democrats; etc. etc. etc.), it's "let toss all those conservative principles under the bus"...'cause we're the RINOized 'new GoP.'
I know a lot of people will burn me for this- but I know what Jesus did for me (Eph 2:8-9) and that the Mormon religion is based on lies and Satanic beliefs, not the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Romney ~may~ end up the tyrant that we all hope doesn’t come to pass in our lifetimes. Not saying he will, but he may.
J.S.
I just HATE when that happens!
The way the FLDS treat THEIR women with great respect?
Trace the development of the FLDS from Joseph Smith.
I think the FLDS is an apt comparison to your mention of islamic practices....AND there are close ties of the present-day mormon church to islam.

Harry Reid is a Temple® Worthy MORMON.
Wanna re-think your statement?
While spiritually blinded folks say...
"Screw what the BIBLE says....as long as we don't have an assumed MUSLIM President".
And there are a small number of rabid Romney supporters who are living in fear and hysteria that they refuse to see who Romney is and that his “faith” makes him the liberal he is.
WHAT???
TITLE: ...Brigham Youngs Great-Great-Granddaughter on Mormonism ...
You call your so-called "options" a "choice"???
(If Obama loses in '12; re-runs as an (R) in 2020 vs. a more liberal Dem...no, I don't buy your argument that I am FORCED to vote for Obama come 2020...)
You, see...we have more "choices" than what your utilitarian pragmatic political relativistic ethics dictate to you...
You are told, automaton-like, "YOU HAVE TO VOTE for evil."
And we are telling this -- and future generations -- "No. You are not in bondage and locked in as lackeys to having counterfeit conservatives -- RINOs -- dictate you to you how you will vote."
Lurkers: The above is what relativism delivers. The above is what utilitarianism delivers. The above is what pragmatism delivers.
Think Neville Chamberlain...and you know who the "hero" is of these compromising philosophies...
Looks like you received the usual paste and post. Expect a hundred more!
We'll leave that to lovable peolple like yourself.
Better scoot over to the VANITY area and post an ANTI-Islam thread.
(It'll improve your street cred...)
You're a freakin idiot, no one here that I've seen is pro Romney.
What I see here are people that are forced to make a decision that goes against many of the things they stand for just to get this evil bastard obama out of office.
You little juvenile mentally challenged twerps like to use the Alinsky tactics of calling anyone who is against obama "Romney bots"
Why don't you grow the f**k up? Oh, and before you go running to hide behind the owner of this site, I'll ping him myself in this post.
Jim's opinion is stated here, he is not obsessed like the like s of you withe their incessant, psychotic posts.
OOOooooh!
Which ones???
THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHICHAPTER 224 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.
Or even HERE:
1 Timothy 3:2-3
2. Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3. not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.1 Timothy 3:12
A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.Titus 1:6
An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTSSECTION 1325157, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 5866, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of beternal lives in the eternal worlds.
