Mitt Romney has gone to church several times since the Secret Service began guarding the Republican nominee, but he's yet to take in the more sacred Mormon rite: visiting an LDS temple.
As the first Mormon heading a major-party presidential ticket, Romney's newfound position with a Secret Service detail raises a question of how his around-the-clock protection would affect his ability to visit The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' most holy buildings.
While the general public can worship at an LDS meetinghouse, only church members in good standing are allowed inside temples, including one just outside Washington, D.C., in a Maryland suburb.
"There's no way the Secret Service is going to put up with that (restriction), with all due respect," says Ronald Kessler, author of "In the President's Secret Service: Behind the Scenes With Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect." "They will get permission and, of course, the church will understand and want him protected. They will go in."
Kessler says protectees, like presidents or presidential candidates, get a say in the level of security they need, though they also understand the threats against them at all times and are smart enough to know it would be too risky to go it alone.
"It would be ludicrous if his Secret Service couldn't protect him in any area like that where there are so many people. He would be a perfect target," Kessler says. "Even Mormons can be criminals."
Romney's campaign referred questions about the candidate's security detail to the Secret Service, which also declined comment, noting that it doesn't speak publicly about its means and methods of securing its charges.
LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter, likewise, said the church wouldn't comment on security matters.

Mitt was a Bishop and then Stake president, his father was at least a Bishop, a Governor, and a GOP presidential candidate, Mitt's mother was a 1970 Senate candidate, and as Mitt points out, they were all pro-abortion since 1963 and they are Mormon royalty.
Mitt Romney quotes:
Many, many years ago, I had a dear, close family relative that was very close to me who passed away from an illegal abortion. It is since that time [1963] that my mother and my family have been committed to the belief that we can believe as we want, but we will not force our beliefs on others on that matter.
I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country; I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a U.S. Senate candidate, Romney said
My position has been the same throughout my political career, and it goes back to the days of 1970, he said. There was a woman who was running for political office, U.S. Senate. She took a very bold and courageous stand in 1970, and that was in a conservative state. That was that a woman should have the right to make her own choice as to whether or not to have an abortion. Her name was Lenore Romney, she was my mom. Even though she lost, she established a record of courage in that regard.
The LORD Jesus Christ who is the one and true God loves and appreciates you and I do too dear sister in Christ...
BIG HUG
:)
and then unfortunate Howard Hughes met up with the Gay family...
and yet Geworge Romney believe3d the prophecy and even thought it was him ansd so he ran for POTUS In 1964 and 1968...
the Romneys hated Reagan for the win by Goldwatyer...
When it didnt pan out for George he groomed young Willard to be presidnet...
Even Willard believed he was destined to be “one mighty and strong” and when his BYU fellow students fell all over themselves boosting his warped ego by declaring him as such because he was mormon royalty he accepted it as his due and entitlement..
Willard thinks he is the white horse prophecy...
therein is the out of touch aloftment and distain for the common peons...
Thanks ;-)
My mormon family believes with every fiber of their being that Romney is the fulfillment of the prophesy.
They also will tell you that he was groomed as such from the day he was born.
These beliefs are validated by him being raised from the dead in France.
The Romney’s are lds royalty, and that is how they are treated by my mormon family, they are having a big “reunion” the weekend before the election, someplace in Arizona.....for praying and fasting for victory in the election for Romney.
Yep. Some very interesting research on what happened the last year of his life.........
But Harry Eeid can go in with Willard any time he wants too...
Both Harry Reid and Willard have probably had the 2nd annointing which means they can do no wrong...
anything they do is not considered sin...
In mormon belief they are above the normal folk...
Ann again today had short sleeves no garmies...
Shes above the requirements ...
While lowly mormons have to adhere to a long list of legalistic rules the 2nd anoiters dont have to...
Willard could drink coffe or booze etc and it would be OK for him to do so...
Thats why he regards himself as innocent when he lies, pushes abortion, gay marriage, gays in the military, AMNESTY anything..
Just like the Proverb of the woman who eats (sins) wipes her mouth and says she hasnt sinned..
Willard truly believes he can not be accountable any more...
couple that with the white horse prophecy myth and his BYU co students in awe over him as the prophetic “one mighty and strong” which he lapped up and said Oh yes indeedy I am”
Delusional Narcissism City on steroids
Am I un-banned?
My answer: Who cares?
Just get Obozo out!
Saundra you’re always welcome here!
Nah, you're still banned :)
Are you the same guy from Fresno?
No never lived there. Must be another handsome Lucido.
I would take that as a “I ain’t got nothing so look over there everybody”...
Amazing how a “Conservative” on a conservative forum is all about denying first amendment rights and all and worse still doesn’t understand the open forum concept...
