[Sooth2222]

I’m not really a Romney fan, but President Trump did endorse him.

Yup. And he's a shoo-in for November.

One less Senate seat for the Republicans to worry about.

[Vigilanteman]

He will be a one termer if he lives out his McCain fantasy.

[COBOL2Java]

Mr. Etch-A-Sketch is back, baby!

[palmer]

Other than the religious ones and #53, I follow or should follow most of those rules.

[Jewbacca]

He’s worse than McCain.

[MayflowerMadam]

“What the hell is the matter with Utah?”

Because their cult is more important to them than their country. Electing fellow cult members = furthering the cult.

[Elsie]

Why do they keep electing RINOs like Wallace Bennett, Orrin Hatch, and now Mitt Romney?

[Elsie]

For all the Frontier Days and assorted ballyhoo celebrated in Utah...

Results of the Affirmation Survey on the Impact of the LDS Policy on Gay Families

Responses showed significant emotional distress, dramatic loss of trust in Church leaders,

and a dramatic decline in Church Activity as a result of the policy.

Individual stories help us to understand where and how different LGBT Mormons find hope,

and why discussion about the Church can be so polarizing.

Proud not to have voted for either one!

(BOY! Did I catch HELL for THAT here!!)

Actually; you would be right:

No surprise - Utah is run by the Mormon “church,” and Mormons do whatever they’re told, like little wind-up robots with no free will

Oh; NO!!!

Office of First President & Living Prophet®:

November 8, 2012

Fellow MORMON Freeper Christians!!

 

I must apologize and ask for forgiveness from you all.

 

As you know, we at Headquarters NEVER tell you pew warmers how to vote. It says so right in our press releases. Anyway, we were ALL thrilled to the max when there were two – TWO! – MORMONs being touted in the primaries: Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.

 

Talk in our upper chambers high above SLC was how our gods were favoring us with these men; who had prepared their entire lives for an opportunity to save this Nation; which so badly needs guidance: OUR guidance even! So naturally, I and the other twelve analyzed and discussed the situation.

 

Consensus was that the voters should listen to the inner urging and vote for the one they wanted; but that seemed to be leaving WAY too much to chance.

 

I decided, that since I am the ONLY man on earth that can hear GOD’s voice, that I would pray for wisdom and clarity in the matter.

 

I hadn’t used the fleece in a while, so I questioned GOD with a test. A paper, with Romney on one side and Huntsman on the other was to be placed by the air conditioning vent high above my desk in the sumptuous office the Full Tithers have provided.

When the air would kick in later in the evening, while I was home, the paper would be blown down and whomever GOD wanted would then be visible on the upper surface.

 

As you can probably guess, when I came in the next day, the paper had landed on my desk, with Mitt’s name on top.

Last night, I was staying late, praying to GOD about how it was even possible that Mitt lost, when the janitorial cleaning crew came in. Being surprised to find me here, they apologized for interrupting me. I said to them, “It mattereth not, as I was about to leave anyway.”

 

As I was going out the door, the foreman of the crew just happened to mention that my office is ALWAYS so neat and tidy, never anything out of place, that they barely have to do anything to clean up. Then one of the sweepers said, “Except that time in the spring when we came in to clean and found a paper with Huntman’s name on the floor by your desk. We put it back on your desk and left.

 

 

Tommy M.

 

Onward to 2016!!!

[Elsie]

The other guy probably wears magic undies, too; you can’t get a job as dog catcher in Utah unless you do.

NOW you've done it!

You mentioned a DOG in a MITT thread!!
