Once again, Mitt Romney seems to be souring on Donald Trump

Mitt Romney — not for the first time — has reversed field when it comes to Donald Trump. This time, his change of heart is a good thing.

The former Massachusetts governor, now a first-term US senator from Utah, has emerged as the most prominent Congressional Republican to question Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, implicitly supporting an impeachment inquiry.

Being Mitt, his comments have been carefully calibrated: he is “deeply troubled” rather than outraged; he has called on other members of his party to “search their hearts and do what’s right” rather than supporting a particular course of action.

But even those steps stand in contrast to other Republicans, whose first instinct has been to circle the wagons around a president they clearly fear.

Seems to be? He’s a traitorous conniving bastard.

Prior to that he threw a winnable election against Ted Kennedy during a Republican landslide. He’s a human rodent.

He is trying to take McCain’s place of being the media darling. Backstabbing Weasel.

No different (socially; not talking religion here) from a lot of Lutherans, Presbyterians, and a fair number of Baptists.

I am SO tempted...

When was that loser Romney ever anything BUT “sour” on President Trump?

[Flaming Conservative]

It’s not that Mormons hate Trump, it’s that they have some ridiculous extra-Biblical “prophecy” about a Mormon becoming an end-times president, and they think he’s it.

Sure, Maren wasn’t a spectacular actress, but she was nice to look at. It’s a shame they didn’t give her more time to work on her acting skills, sometimes you just need to warm up a bit. I remember a soap actor from the ‘70s (Ron Hale) and when they first launched the show (Ryan’s Hope), he looked like a terrified deer caught in the headlights. After awhile, he loosened up and became one of the better and more interesting characters on the show.

I guess that Huntsman fella was just a flash in the pan...

 Time to re-print an old (AND FAKE) memo...

Fellow MORMON Freeper Christians!!

 

I must apologize and ask for forgiveness from you all.

 

As you know, we at Headquarters NEVER tell you pew warmers how to vote. It says so right in our press releases. Anyway, we were ALL thrilled to the max when there were two – TWO! – MORMONs being touted in the primaries: Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.

 

Talk in our upper chambers high above SLC was how our gods were favoring us with these men; who had prepared their entire lives for an opportunity to save this Nation; which so badly needs guidance: OUR guidance even! So naturally, I and the other twelve analyzed and discussed the situation.

 

Consensus was that the voters should listen to the inner urging and vote for the one they wanted; but that seemed to be leaving WAY too much to chance.

 

I decided, that since I am the ONLY man on earth that can hear GOD’s voice, that I would pray for wisdom and clarity in the matter.

 

I hadn’t used the fleece in a while, so I questioned GOD with a test. A paper, with Romney on one side and Huntsman on the other was to be placed by the air conditioning vent high above my desk in the sumptuous office the Full Tithers have provided.

When the air would kick in later in the evening, while I was home, the paper would be blown down and whomever GOD wanted would then be visible on the upper surface.

 

As you can probably guess, when I came in the next day, the paper had landed on my desk, with Mitt’s name on top.

Last night, I was staying late, praying to GOD about how it was even possible that Mitt lost, when the janitorial cleaning crew came in. Being surprised to find me here, they apologized for interrupting me. I said to them, “It mattereth not, as I was about to leave anyway.”

 

As I was going out the door, the foreman of the crew just happened to mention that my office is ALWAYS so neat and tidy, never anything out of place, that they barely have to do anything to clean up. Then one of the sweepers said, “Except that time in the spring when we came in to clean and found a paper with Huntsman’s name on the floor by your desk. We put it back on your desk and left.

Onward to 2016!!!

...the presidential campaign of Mormon Church founder Joseph Smith in 1844: “Challenging Democrat James Polk and Whig Henry Clay, Smith prophesied that if the U.S. Congress did not accede to his demands that ‘they shall be broken up as a government and God shall damn them.’

Smith viewed capturing the presidency as part of the mission of the church.

 

Grease Spot Prophecy – Mormon Quotes

Millennial Star, Vol. 22, No. 29, (July 21, 1860), pg. 455; “I prophesied by virtue of the holy Priesthood vested in me, and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that, if Congress will not hear our petition and grant us protection, they shall be broken up as a government and God shall damn them, and there shall be nothing left of them – not even a grease spot!“.

Pressured by church authorities to join political parties
Until 1893, the LDS church had an established political party in Utah, known as The People's Party. However, once Utah entered the union, they had to establish wings of the prevailing parties—the Democrats and Republicans. The Republican Party in Utah, however, was so small and so few Mormons would join the platform (since it had been the party to vote against the church on polygamy and other matters), that the LDS church held meetings “with stake presidents and bishops where they were instructed to encourage more Latter-day Saints to vote Republican … Church members who were known to have strong Democratic convictions were not asked to switch parties, but those whose commitment was not particularly strong were encouraged to change”

 

(LDS Church Student Manual, Church History In The Fulness Of Times, p. 442, 2003.)

 

Some of the era have said that it was more by assignment than by encouragement.
