Not sure exactly how the Religious Right Wingnuts like
Gina Miller and the Tea Baggers got stuck with Mitt Romney as the GOP candidate. I suspect it is because the GOP Party Leaders know that these loonies will vote for anyone, even a pig with lipstick, as long as it's not President Barack Obama so they attempted to choose a candidate that moderate independent voters might go for.
These people are too funny and let's not forget the PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT is based on similar legislation that Mitt Romney championed and signed into law when he was Governor of Massachusetts.
Now many of these so called Christians have been attacking President Barack Obama claiming he is a Muslim (he isn't) or that the Pastor of the Christian Church he attended wasn't up to snuff, but they seem willing to turn a blind eye to the fact that Mitt Romney is a Mormon.
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois,
recorded 12 July 1843, relating to the new and everlasting covenant,
including the eternity of the marriage covenant, and also the plurality
of wives (see
History of the Church, 5:501–7). Although the
revelation was recorded in 1843, it is evident from the historical
records that the doctrines and principles involved in this revelation
had been known by the Prophet since 1831. -
Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, a sort of addendum
book to the Book of Mormon
Perhaps they should take a gander at the
Book Of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of the Latter Day Saints before casting their vote. Since even though ones religious beliefs aren't suppose to be an issue it really seems to matter a lot to these people, at least as long as President Obama's religion was the one being discussed.
Then we have the Defense of Marriage Act which these people are up in arms about. I really wish I knew how they think someone else's marriage harms theirs. With all their phoney outraged you would think it was Christians that were being denied the right to marry.
The war we are in for marriage and morality—a war not of our making
or choosing—is raging all across our nation. We now have this man
Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) leading a full-frontal assault on
the institution of marriage. He has loaded his administration with
radical homosexual activists; he has spit on the federal Defense of
Marriage Act; he has declared his insane belief that people of the same
sex should be allowed to “marry;” he has led the charge to homosexualize
our military, and now under his Pentagon, we see perverse, false
“pride” being shoved in the faces of our troops and the face our entire
nation, from the highest level of government.
We also see mega-corporations bowing at the altar of sodomy. Just
this week, Kraft Foods decided to post on its Facebook page a
Photoshopped image of an
Oreo cookie with rainbow colored frosting filling.
The caption with the image said, “Proudly support love!” This is the
degenerate thinking of the Left. Proudly support love? Sodomy is not
love, and it is certainly nothing of which to be proud! This move by
Kraft has sparked outrage by conservatives and Christians who are
calling for boycotts against Kraft. Now that is a tough boycott. Kraft
Foods is gigantic, and its brands are myriad. It would be good if
Kraft saw a nosedive in sales of Oreo cookies, though. -
Fierce Battle for Marriage Rages in Illinois by Gina Miller
Do they really expect Mitt Romney to be their savior? I mean they do realize that Mitt Romney's Great - Grandfather went to Mexico so he could continue practicing polygamy.
Romney's family came from England, converted to Mormonism, came to America and quickly turned to plural marriage
which led them to an unexpected exile and exodus to Mexico and then
just as abruptly, they fled back to the USA to avoid a revolution
And this should really give the birthers pause.
Mitt Romney's father, George S. Romney was born in Mexico in the
Colonia Dublan colony in 1907. It's not surprising that a Birther-type
discussion was raised about George Romney either. (pg. 53 '
The Story Of George Romney.")
As his parents had retained their American citizenship, experts on
constitutional law believe his birth in Mexico is no bar to George
Romney becoming a candidate for President regardless of the U.S.
Constitution's clause: "No person except a natural-born citizen, or a
citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this
Constitution, shall be eligible for the office of President." No court
has interpreted this clause but children born abroad or at sea have been
considered "natural-born" citizens for passports and other privileges. -
Romney Family Files: Fled to Mexico Due to a Polygamy Ban Making Them 'The First Displaced Persons of the 20th Century'
So George S. Romney (Mitt's Father) is what Mexican - American? Interestingly enough the American Government helped these felons out when they returned to the United States after fleeing a revolution in Mexico.
I've included this point about Utah's banning polygamy because it
appears to be a purely political move even if many Mormons opposed
polygamy and as the 2,300 Mormon polygamist refugees fled Mexico,
leaving many of their belongings behind, it was the U.S. Government that
helped bail them out of their dire situation. (pg. 60)
They had just twenty-five dollars, two suitcases and
three bedrolls. Many families were installed in vacant tenements and
several hundred were quartered in huge empty lumber sheds on Magoffin
Avenue which the Long Lumber Company made available. The U.S. Army
supplied rations and loaned tents from Fort Bliss. Mayor C. E. Kelly and
city officials joined Church leaders in finding homes and jobs for the
refugees. Congress voted $100,000 for their transportation and relief.
If you calculate $100,000 for inflation from 1912, the figure turns into over
$2.2 million in 2011.
That's a lot of government money to people who were basically felons in
the eyes of the law. Another fascinating thing happened in 1938. Mexico
paid out a huge settlement to those early Mexican colonies because of
the revolution. (pg.61)
The colonists eventually in 1938 received from Mexico
$2.65 for each $100 of loss during the revolutionary disorders. Gaskell
Romney's losses were so great that he received enough to purchase a
comfortable house in Salt Lake City in which he lived his last years.
I encourage you to read the entire
article. I am off to buy some Rainbow Oreo Cookies.
