Romney Defends Shift on Issues

Then, in the future you should state that you think that he will consult with some Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints gurus before deciding on public policy. Because that's all ya have - thoughts.

The reader should weigh what he should trust - a poster's thoughts or the actual actions by a governor over four years.

 

Did you read what I wrote:

"If I thought he/she would make a better president than the other folks on the ballot - yes."

Obviously, if I didn't think that any candidate would not protect the United States, then I would not vote for him/her. Also, if I didn't think that a candidate would work well with our allies, then I would not vote for him/her.

But my opposition would be based on politics, not religious bigotry.

 

Then, I encourage you to beat the drums for Newt as your candidate.

You have a problem with Mitt's religion.

I have a problem with Newt's personal morals.

Let's duke it out in the primaries and caucuses. It will be a blast.

 

No, I have proof that did not do so during this four years as governor. I am sure if he had done such a thing that your allies on the fundamentalist right in the GOP would have broadcast it to the heavens by now.

His consultation was concerning the attention that his run for the presidency would bring to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, not about public policy. And you should know that.

 

Any governor worth his salt travels to many foreign countries to try to bring jobs from foreign businesses to his state and/or to increase his state's exports to foreign countries.

No serious presidential candidate can go through a campaign without being grilled about foreign policy.

 

Did Mitt receive permission?

I contend that any such "permission" dealt with the spotlight that would be brought on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

 

Again, Mitt did not do as you charged concerned public policy during his four years as the governor of Massachusetts. If he had done so, we would have heard about it by now.

Therefore, your point is irrelevant when discussing Mitt's presidential run for 2008.

 

If every decision had to be made through some Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints guru for four years it would be kind of hard to cover up, don't ya think? Wouldn't at least one phone call of what would have been thousands, if what you say is true, have been known about? The man does have political enemies in Massachusetts, ya know.

 

Do you really not understand how cut throat politics generally is?

Goodness, just look at the smear campaign I see you engaging in and you're a Christian. Just imagine what non-Christians do in political warfare.

Just think how angry the pro-abortion crowd is at Mitt after he converted to being pro-life. If they had any proof that he did what you charge, I am quite certain they would have had it spread all over the newspapers in Massachusetts and beyond.
