The Mormons will hurt their reputation if they associate themselves with Romney.
Won’t work. I despise Romney.
i’ll go fishing if this clown is the rep. nom. - this clown will never get my vote
Granted there are two or three pubbie candidates I’d like better, Mit Romney would be a gigantic improvement over what we have.
I always think of Multiple wives and the amish when I think of them...and the Osmond Family.
Beck probably doesn’t care for Willard... but he’s laying the groundwork for him in this regard.
You notice that Mormons never talk about what they believe. It reminds me of the brochure the recruiter gave me about AOCS in Pensacola. There was this beautiful babe running on the beach in a golden bikini on the cover. I never did see that girl while I was running five miles in the sand with a DI yelling at me. Things are not always as advertised.
BWAAAHAAAAHAAAHHAHAHAAAHAAA!
Normal?
(Snort) BWAAHAAHAAAHAAHAAHAA!
That question’s answer would be a big: “DUH!!!”
Of course that is what is going on.
Simple: The GOP nominates a pro homo, pro abortion, Obamacare supporter, which ALL of these things are Mitt Romney and his clear record, we Lose.
Period. Obama the REAL can easily beat Obama Lite.
Yeah Glenn Beck had a curtain raiser for the aboryion pushing Romney last Saturday...
Beck said hes going to have more of those whatever they were...
Ya notice that romnbey was not on the same stage as Sarah Palin ???
I doint think he has been since 2008...
Whats the odds that Romney will sohow his old wrinkled Botoxed face and dyed thinning hair next time...
But Sarah wont be there ???
sarah does the Tea Parties..
I dont think Romnbey does...
They would be beneath his bishopship..
And Beck talks ugly about the Tea Parties too...
Beck has said that his “god” told him that we all have to get behinsd himn etc..
Is he planning to delived his groupies over to Romney ???
Vote for Romnbey or you dont love me ???
We will see...
Did Beck endorse Romney in 2008 ???
Beck is against us “birthers” and Romney doesnt exactly love us either...
I think birthers and Tea Partiers are too independent for the taste or program of Beck and Romney...
They want Kool ade drinkers..
Romnbey started this week by attempting to buy the New Hampshire vote...
NOT VOTING FOR ROMNEY: EVER! And I am still against Mormonism (though I will ally with them politically)!
Worth a careful read- a scholarly and dispassionate inquiry on Mormonism.

That church is a master of Public Relations grounded upon plausible deniability coupled with out right lies; i.e. go back to their introduction and termination polygamy.
SALT LAKE CITY — Mitt Romney, along with his wife, Ann, and two of their sons joined thousands of other mourners here today at the funeral of Gordon B. Hinckley, the president and prophet of the Mormon Church.
Underscoring his prominence at this point in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as the church is officially known, with his presidential run, Mr. Romney and his wife sat in the second row next to the center aisle, directly behind U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Michael O. Leavitt, President Bush’s representative at the funeral and a former Utah governor.
The V.I.P. section was something of a Who’s Who of Mormon political royalty. Also in the first row was Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, and Utah’s two Republican senators, Bob Bennett and Orrin Hatch. Next to Mr. and Mrs. Romney was Governor Jon Huntsman Jr.—notably, an early supporter of Senator John McCain, although his father, Jon Huntsman Sr., a prominent businessman and high-ranking church official is a national finance co-chair for Mr. Romney — and Senator Gordon Smith, an Oregon Republican.
Mr. Romney, who is arguably the most visible Mormon in the country at this point, arrived just after 10 a.m. and could be seen at the front of the auditorium shaking hands, hugging and greeting people. He was whisked inside the church’s Conference Center, where the funeral was held, through an underground entrance.
Mr. Romney’s sons, Matt and Josh, sat further back in the auditorium. Spencer Zwick, Mr. Romney’s finance director and a fellow Mormon whose father is a high-ranking church official, was also in attendance.
Eric Fehrnstrom, a spokesman for Mr. Romney, said there were no plans for political or fund-raising events in the state, even though Utah, with 15 delegates at stake, is among the crush of states voting on Feb. 5. Mr. Romney was scheduled to fly to Minneapolis in the afternoon.
“He’s keeping a low-profile politically, because this is a personal visit,” said Mr. Fehrnstrom.
Polls show Mr. Romney far ahead in the state, where Mormons make up some 70 percent of the population.
The funeral represented a complicated dilemma for Mr. Romney’s advisers. Attending meant taking valuable time off of the campaign trail in the most important weekend of campaigning so far. It also inevitably drew attention to Mr. Romney’s Mormon faith, which is viewed with suspicion by many evangelical Christians and others, as he is making his final appeal in a slew of states on Feb. 5 where evangelicals are influential, including Missouri, Georgia and Tennessee.
When his death was announced late Sunday night, while Mr. Romney was campaigning in Florida, it was too late to wake Mr. Romney to ask how he wanted to handle it or prepare a statement, his advisers said.
The campaign had planned an early morning news conference the following day at a gas station to highlight Mr. Romney’s economic message, so his planned remarks were quickly revised.
His advisers asked if Mr. Romney wanted to address Mr. Hinckley’s death in his opening comments. He said he did and wound up talking about Mr. Hinckley in fairly expansive terms, praising him for his humility and how he expanded the church around the world.
Mr. Romney failed to mention that he also met with Mr. Hinckley in November 2005 to ask his advice about a possible run for president, a meeting reported in Sunstone, a Mormon magazine. When asked about that meeting, Mr. Romney downplayed it.
“I was in Salt Lake and had the chance to go by him and see him and told him that our family was going to be thinking about running for president,” said Mr. Romney. “He smiled and said it would be a great experience if you won and a great experience if you lost.” The funeral, held inside an auditorium that seats 21,000 but was not completely full, hinted at the differences Mormons have with Protestants and Catholics. When Virginia Pearce, Mr. Hinckley’s daughter, took to the podium, she spoke about bearing “testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Joseph Smith founded Mormonism in the 19th century in upstate New York as a restoration of what he considered to be the true Christian church.
Smith said an angel revealed to him the the location of a set of golden tablets containing scriptures that he then translated into the Book of Mormon. The scriptures Smith translated described how a group of Jews came to the Americas. After his death and resurrection, Mormons believe, Jesus Christ came to preach to the group and a church developed, only to fall into apostasy until Smith restored it.
Among the major differences with traditional Christianity, Mormons do not believe in the concept of the unified Trinity; the Book of Mormon, along with two others texts are considered sacred, alongside the Bible; and Mormons believe that God has a physical body and that human beings can eventually become like God.
Fact: The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts. in some polls, days prior to the election.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY decided …… to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
