    Hmm. Is this article a positive or not? Pro-Romney = good, but so many lies about the church wilting in the face of secular morality! The truth of God would never kowtow to the forces of Mammon!

      Something tells me this is not how the church wants to be seen on these issues.

      Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

        I want to make a bumper sticker that says: "I'm Mitt Romney's 2nd cousin, and I'm voting for Obama."

              We voted for Obama. I'm not Romney's cousin. I'm a lifelong democrat and I'm voting for Romney.

                  If you were really related to Romney, you would have changed your position by now.

                    I think if you go back through my posts carefully, you'll find at least one post where I said I was going to vote for Romney.

                        "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                          It would be better if it said: "I'm Mitt Rmoney's 2nd cousin, and I'm writing in Ron Paul."

                            He's more of an aspiring Mormon?

                              I came to a similar conclusion months ago. Romney's flip-flopping fits right into the classic argument that Mormons talk out of both sides of their mouths.

                                What politician doesn't flip flop? Come on, name one?

                                I assume you can then label it fits the classic argument that, Catholics, Evangelicals, Muslims, Atheists and Jews all talk out both sides of their mouths.

                                Romney's dad didn't talk out both sides of his mouth. Maybe he learned from him you can't survive in big time politics by doing so.
