2. Mitt's approval ratings tanked when it became obvious that he did not have a principle to his name and was only interested in personal power. Probably the single worst elected GOP official of the last 12 years.
3. All Mittens does is obsess over money. For most of us on FR, never mind in the general electorate, that shows a verrrry limited imagination and no leadership.
4. Romney cannot be trusted on babies, marriage, guns, military, foreign policy or anything else that is not money, money, money and, frankly on money issues, he can be trusted only to protect Muffy, Skipper and trust fund babies like, well, Mittens himself. He does absolutely NOTHING for most of us. I don't pay 45% on marginal income and neither do most of us here. I also don't give a sh*t if Mittens has to start paying 39.5% on his income from speeches after he is defeated if by Obozo or 35% if the status remains quo under a new GOP POTUS or is even lowered (except for the further damage that will do to the GOP brand). One thing is for sure: his precious tax rate on marginal income is NOT the be all and end all of human existence or of this year's election.
5. I have absolutely no problem with Romney's Mormon religion. I regard their doctrines as strange but then, as a Catholic, I know many regard Catholic dogmas as strange as well. Most Mormons are fine people. Romney is not and the pro-abortion position which has been traditional among Romneys is anything but Mormonism. Mittens problem with religion may well be that he is not Mormon enough. I don't think that Mormons are fans of sexual perversion posing as marriage either even if it never seems to bother Romney. Many Mormons are also a lot more familiar with firearms and the RTKBA than anyone named Romney.
6. The Winter Olympics???? The Winter Olympics???? Too bad Steve Jobs is dead. His positions on issues were generally no better than Romney but he was a hell of a lot more of a businessman. Warren Buffet? Bill Gates? Both of them to the left of Obozo but, hey, they are each terrific at business. What the hell does that have to do with being a desirable candidate for POTUS???
Good post, but a little clarification.
Cardinal Romney, son of a Cardinal (Stake President to Mormons), and probably a long line of Bishops and Cardinals since the Romneys are Mormon Royalty, is among the most devout, devoted, and respected Mormons alive. Many Mormons think that he may even be fulfillment of Holy Prophecy, Romney is expected to reach the council of the 12 Apostles in time.
Bishop Romney is a Temple Mormon, part of the most elite secretive, and devoted (roughly) 15% of Mormons, Romney is a teacher of Mormonism, and is in the highest standing of his religion, a religion that the Catholic church tells us, is not a Christian religion.
