Re: How would/will the Office of Presidency affect Mr. Romne
The data proves your conspiracy theory to be nothing more than bs propagated by the right wing echo chamber in order to justify the GOP's enactment of laws to undermine the democratic process by disenfranchizing voters who tend to vote democratic. I'm sure though that you're all for that!

Re: How would/will the Office of Presidency affect Mr. Romne
Yeah, it's kind of like how liberals support deliberately killing fetuses, and then using their stem cells as research guinea pigs. Gotta exploit the dead to benefit the living, right? Except that the LDS version is aimed at benefiting the dead...but other than that, we may have something in common here... : )

And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in c\taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning."

Re: How would/will the Office of Presidency affect Mr. Romne
I for one will breathe a little easier when Romney enters the White House. I think (hope) he will not only listen to his advisors, he will choose men and women that will give good advice even if it's an opposing view point. I think he will be more able to inspire confidence in America at home and abroad. Whether that confidence will be deserved remains to be seen, but if the confidence is there, change for the better is more likely to happen. He was not my first choice, and I will admit to some concern regarding his faith, and how he would deal with potential conflicts between the oaths and covenants he swore in the temple, and the Presidential oath. Overall, though, I believe that he is the better choice for this country.
Yes, in a sense, I am choosing the lesser of two weevils, but I have greater hope for positive change with Mitt Romney in the hot seat.Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
I believe that God put me on this Earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind I will never die.

Re: How would/will the Office of Presidency affect Mr. Romne
What do you mean by positive change? The continued deregulation of the Wall street banks so they can once again crash the entire world economy and cash in on it themselves in the process? The continuation of billions in tax payor dollars, a.k.a. subsidies, given to Big Oil and other industies just because they want it? The defunding of public education? The continued war on unions and the dismantling of collective bargaining? The continuation of huge tax cuts on the super wealthy a la G.W.Bush which btw has been proven over and over again not to trickle down, does not create jobs. The continued assault on womens healthcare? The continued support for private health ins. co's to rip you off. The slow but sure dismantling of the social safety net, social security, medicare, medicaid, unemployment ins? Mitt Romney and his party are corporatist's to whom less government is just another term for corporate control of the government, a.k.a. fascism. What kind of positive change do you want?

Re: How would/will the Office of Presidency affect Mr. Romne
The rate of spending under President Obama is the lowest of any administration in sixty years and thats including the stimulus spending for which he had no choice. Bet you didn't know that did you? But, he can not do it alone, there needs to be compromise on the revenue side as well and we all know that republicans are beholden to their wealthy benefactors and not to the best interests of the country and so will never compromise on that. So, we can either get rid of them, and clean up their mess as usual, or continue in our idiocy of electing those who care only of themselves and their wealthy benefactors.
