Impressing you favorabley with any of my opinions has always been a laborious task, but the “quote” that you dislike was from a testy radio interview that was filmed in a sound studio somewhere, during the earlier primary fight. It got some play early on, only because Romney was demonstrably defensive when asked about some of the far-out practices of his Mormon “religion”. It took place about the time Santorum took his first state, if I recall. Maybe you can find it on utube.
I am perfectly aware of the high faluting titles Romney carries in the Mormon “church”, which are meaningless to me. I simply do not care. Religious titles prove nothing to me when bestowed outside of Christianity, and in Romney’s case with his “religion”, I see him as a geeky over achiever in ALL of his endeavors, a guy who may give no larger damn about his Mormon “religion” than he does about the Republican Party.
To me it is entirely possible that these universes he engages, his religion, and politics, and finance, are possibly nothing but convenient vehicles to some more titles and increasing power.
Romney strikes me as dispassionate about anything but the chase for achievement, and that includes his religion. I am not going to be found among those using his cult as a hammer when his politics alone are more than enough to be repelled by him.
Fine! Then avoid criticizing those of us who see his religion as a bigger threat than his politics.
I have removed your name from my ping list.
That is a quote? A quote of what? Meaning what?
I'm saying that the "quote" didn't say anything and that it isn't even a "quote", not that I didn't like it but that I don't believe you.
Are you thinking of the Mickelson radio interview from 2007 or so?
What are you quoting if you can't produce your full quote?
For you to try the separate a member of Mormon royalty and a high ranking Mormon leader from Mormonism is bizarre, Mitt Romney is an exceptional Mormon and comes from a family that immigrated here solely to serve Mormonism and that has done that devotedly ever since.
Now you are trying to convince us that you have Romney denying his faith somewhere. Fill us in. Most of us that have looked into Mitt Romney conclude that Mormonism is what drives him and is what he is most devoted to, that even this unexplained 20 year effort in politics is based on his role in Mormonism.
That was actually a great post on a never ending contentious thread
I eschew seeing old timers here devour one another
And i find TBL to be Clown Posse part IV more or less
Where the tone is more “what culture war?” and very non southern populated.....i mean Sinkspur is the forum high priest....all they need is Howlin for a full dance card
But other than Mitts mushiness i have no dog in this fight
Shame....none of this is very productive at this point
