I wonder if the LDS will boot Reid if Romney loses? I just wonder what the internal conversations are about Harry going after another Mormon. I’m sure the church has a lot invested with Romney and would hate to lose the chance to get into the White House.

Not a chance.

Lds, Inc. would NEVER boot Harry in the short-run -- 'cause Harry can always still utilize his power to occasionally do Lds, Inc. political favors.

Lds, Inc. would NEVER boot Harry in the long-run -- 'cause they've spent $Millions on the "new" PR "I'm a Mormon" paradigm...trying to tout diversity.

Once Harry is out of office, the only thing they could tag him on would be to remove him from his official visiting "home teacher" position with the church.

“Were you sexually abused by a Mormon? I am serious, it’s the only explanation for your obsession and hatred.”
___________________________________

I think you may have hit the nail on the head, Jean.

It is obvious that something ‘really bad’ happened to her at the hands of a Mormon that fuels her unrelenting attacks on LDS.

I cannot imagine living my entire life being consumed by hatred, especially hatred for a group of people that are only expressing their freedom of religion.

There’s something just not right there. I feel sorry for anyone that has to carry the burdens of being abused.

I will pray for Colofornian tonight for God to give her the strength to confront the devils that haunt her. Perhaps we have mis-judged her hatred for a cry for help?

Gee, it’s a good thing you have all that red text, that red bold text, that red bold underlined text.

It sure does make it more readable.

NOT!!!

Real conservatives will not be getting a chance to vote for a conservative this election cycle for the presidency. That said, the default is to vote the commie thug and his thugocracy out.

Of the two presumptive nominees, I ask myself which one might be pushed toward the center, since both are left of center. I conclude that Romney can be pushed toward the center and may even be pushed a bit right of center. Here's why:

Romney, by all the evidence posted on the numerous religion threads --which have been stealth attack threads to prevent Romney from getting elected-- Mitt Romney is a devout Mormon. He is rather high in the LDS inc heirarchy, too. Because of that, if he is elected to the presidency he will have a formidible legacy to try and build.

Since most of what Mormons believe is closer to conservative principles than leftist principles, Romney can be pushed toward centrist policies and even toward conservative policies by appealing to his need to build a conservative legacy for the first Mormon president.

If conservatives will get off their butts and vote, running up vote tallies for conservatives and tea partiers down ticket, then Romney will be even more susceptible to centrist or right of center policies in order to accomplish 'his legacy'. The key is getting conservatives to go to the polls instead of spittling sour grapes with every waking breath.

This election is not about punishing the GOPe, that is a classic axelrod manipulation of conservatives in order to get his commie slug re-elected. It does no good to punish the GOPe if there will not be a Republic in which to harvest a new paradigm once little barry bastard commie finishes his next four years of destruction. But there is a real possibility that if Romney ousts the Indonesian fraud he can be pushed toward centrist policies and even to the right of center. No such accomplishment is possible with a man whose goal all along has been to transfrom America into a wasteland. Little barry bastard commie had got to go, hopefiully by ballots.

As an aside, does anyone find it odd that chances are we will just have had, in succession, a muslim/commie/Christian (not sure what Obama is, if anything) and a Mormon POTUS? How odd is this? Could anyone have imagined such an occurrence as this?

Are you really that stupid or are you trolling for your boy obama?

Mes would be very helpful. We have several friends over this evening and I’m reading this thread to them. It’s a great source of entertainment and causing some rather loud laughter. Is it a full moon?

I’m not voting for a baby killing, socialist, pro gay marriage, statist pathological liar man-child. Which basically means I won’t be voting at all this election for POTUS. You will be though. You’re a Republican before you’re a conservative, after all.

I feel the same way. I couldn’t care less about his religion. I do however, believe Obama leans toward Islam.

Mormon hate-threads on FR will have about as much impact on the general election as will the price of dirt in the Congo. But if it makes you feel good...

Screw you n00b.

If you think this socialist ship that has been in progress for the last 100 years is giong to be turned around in one election, well, never mind.

I gotta go, this forum is really starting to suck.

------"I cannot in good conscience vote for either." _____________________________________________________________________ OK, fine. Just cogitate on this quote for a moment and ask yourself if you think Obama is more evil than Mittens:
"For evil to triumph it is only necessary for good men to do nothing."
