The best Aircraft Commander I ever had in the Air Force was a Mormon, and I don’t believe I ever met a better man. So while Romney is about my last choice, it’s not because of that.

Besides, judging from Romney’s history, his politics don’t seem to be very constrained by his religion.

(And you don't think that might change whereby not upon his initiation...but upon Salt Lake City's initiation...remember the sheer hierarchical nature of the Mormon church)

"... judging from Romney’s history, his politics don’t seem to be very constrained by his religion."

Very atstute observation. Let's take it one step further, given our knowledge of MormonISM.

Milt is a 'high priest' in LDS inc, literally. He has taken the oaths and sworn the lines to be a mormonISM 'Melchizadek High Priest'. He is also a bishop in LDS inc parlance, but that is not as significant as his high priest status.

What does it say about the character of a man who would take the oaths of high preist yet repudiate his own oaths for the expediance of political power? ... Yeah, Milt's mormonISM is an important aspect in considering his character. He's not just a flip-flopper, he's a duplicitous abomination: expedience, utilitarian decisions rule the mind of an unstable man like Milt is exposed to be.
