What century are you living in? “Mormons” are conservatives and Romney doesn’t fit in with God, Mom, Apple Pie and USA. The only people in Utah who vote for Romney are the ones who haven’t done any research on the slimebag.

I am wary of the thought that a Massachusetts Yankee is controlled by Mormon dry cod elders

Not YOU again?

Get a life, Elsie. We’ve been all through this.

I hope you had a great Christmas (remembering the Reason for the Season) and that you will have an equally amazing New Year!

“G-R-H was the only ever reasonably successful attempt at curbing government excesses.”

Very true.

While Mormons are generally pretty conservative, nowadays they only comprise about 60% of Utah’s population. Utah is, if not the fastest-growing state in the US, at least in the top three. Lots of jobs here so lots of ‘gentiles’ have been moving in.

Interesting fact: Salt Lake City, home base of the LDS church, has had Dem mayors since 1976. Jackie Biskupski was mayor from 2016 to 2020 and she is a lesbian.

“Social Security was never intended to be used as it’s being used now. It was never intended to provide an income for independent living.”

Ah—I see.

It was intended as a smaller Ponzi scheme than it is today.

That is very reassuring.

The reason Romney voted yes is because he was paid to vote yes. In other words, Romney sold his yes vote.

No. The reason Romney voted for it is because he's a hard leftist and always has been. Go back and listen to his debates with Ted Kennedy when running against him for senate in 1994. Romney ran to Kennedy's left. Think about that.

I was going to suggest to Elsie that he read a comprehensive history of the state from the time of Brigham to today, and he wouldn’t be so quick to fire shots across the bow at me.

You’re right that Utah is not 100% LDS. For a long time it has been leaning Left, but I think most LDS voters see Mitt for the RINO he is. If he is even that. I suspect he votes Left all across the board.

That’s irrelevant. My point is many congress, including Romney, and bought and paid for. Romney sells his vote for money. Most of them do.

When you're already worth hundreds of millions of dollars, you don't need to sell your vote for money. With that level of wealth, you're more interested in accruing power. Romney is a leftist. Leftists are obsessed with gaining political power.

I don’t care why he did it. He always does this. Eject him from the party. We don’t have a majority anyway. Why allow him in on caucuses and fundraise for his campaigns. He consistently sucks.

I disagree. If conservatives had deeper pockets, and played with the same rules as the left, Romney would vote differently. He’s a whore. nothing more.

A friend in Utah whose family has lived there since the 1800s days says Mitt is viewed as a “Super Mormon” - a Mormon who has become famous and rich. Therefore, he must be good.

But...he also says that if Mitt travelled south of Provo, he might never be seen again. There is a lot of desert and almost no one who likes him. But the votes are all in the Wasatch Front. Mittens can win again in his humble opinion.

You haven't studied the man, then. He pretended to be a conservative in MA by mouthing slogans because he knew he wanted to run for president. And yet, socialized medicine passed in MA under his watch, as well as the first gay fake marriage ruling in the country. Catholic institutions in MA were also punished for not enforcing gay- and abortion-friendly rules. Romney stood by and let all of the above happen while mouthing his opposition. He also completely eviscerated the GOP in Massachusetts, leaving it a rudderless party only slightly less Left than the Democrats. That's how he operates. He's either the least effective politician in American history, or he is a double-agent crypto-leftist Republican. There are no other options.

Romney does the bidding of the Mormon elders.

Romney is a Mormon elder. Based on my observations, they do what he tells them to do. And since he's a hyper-wealthy leftist, that's where the Mormon church is headed.
