The fact-finding groups PolitiFact.com, Snopes.com and Truthorfiction.com all rate this as true, and media reports of the day confirm much of the details of the viral email.

Yes, actually several of the people in the videos were not Mormons. Not that it should really matter. A family gives up their Christmas vacation every year to help those that are suffering. I give them credit and don’t care who they help, I’ve never done anything close to what the Romneys have done and I consider myself a charitable person.

No question that our Embassy and Personnel would not have gone begging for 'Security' protection. A plane, most likely at their disposal for 'get away' etc. They would not have been left out to 'dry' and die.

It is all so sickening; how pathological is Leftist Leadership and how useful are the fools for their heinous cause.

More malicious squawking from you two... try posting something positive for a change? Like this, Romney submitting a Protection of Marriage ballot initiative to block gay marriage in Massachusetts:


“ROMNEY FIGHTS FOR MARRIAGE VOTE”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJXyDxMKv1E&feature=related

Uploaded by BobSacamaneau on Nov 20, 2006

Governor Mitt Romney addresses a rally at the Massachusetts State House calling on the legislature to vote on a marriage amendment. The ballot initiative would allow the state’s citizens to vote on the definition of marriage. Currently the legislature is refusing to allow their constituents to vote on the matter, violating the Massachusetts Constitution.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Thats an out of touch statement...

In other words the Romneys stay at home every Christmas...

I do too and so do lots of other Americans...

Its not called “giving up anything”

Its called “celebrating the birth of Christ” and “enjoying the family”

How do you know it was a one-time action? One of the tenets of Mormon belief (and Christian) is you don’t blow your own horn. If you do things for the praise of men, you have your reward.

Yes, there are videos of Romney helping non-Mormons:


“Awesome Glenn Beck Monologue on Mitt Romney’s Anonymous Milk Donations to Veterans Hospital”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrvRysJ3FCE

Incredible insights into the character and generous nature of Mitt Romney. That is the proper way to redistribute wealth, if you want to help the poor then spend your own money not someone else’s.

It was milk for a veterans homeless shelter, not a hospital, and it was to recover from his gaffe as a Senate candidate when he toured the shelter and said to teach the veterans to milk cows.

One of the stories from Glenn Beck ???

Forget it...he has lied in the past...

and hardly Mitt Romney’s Anonymous Milk Donations if its so well known from big mouth Beck...

Wheres the proof from the hospital ???

and the proof that it was out of the pocket of Willard and not from his Mormon membership ???

Remember he was the archbishop over several groups of Mormons (hundreds) and could use their tithe money or take up a collection from them for the milk...

BTW whose original idea was it ???

Did Willard ever buy the veterans a motorized wheelchair ???

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were so ignorant of Romney’s history regarding gay marriage.

Perhaps if you watched the video you would have seen Romney leading the conservatives in trying to block gay marriage permanently in the state via a ballot referendum.

We do know that it is a one time deal that he did for the powerful Mormon at Bain, and nothing that Romney does positive is kept secret.

It is like when he helped in that video about the tree trunk after the fire in San Diego.

The Romneys called the fellow Mormon and asked to come over and help him, when he said that he was already pretty much finished the Romneys kept pushing him to let them come over and do something, so he let them do the stump.

It was an all Mormon event, arranged by the Romneys, when they could have done something more useful at non-Mormon houses in the fire damaged neighborhood.

This neighborhood is part of my work area, rather than pressure this Mormon, the Romneys could have simply verified that someone else within sight of his home needed help and come and done it.

This was about Mormonism and a presidential campaign, not randomly helping a stranger.

So they’re attacking Romney ads that he isn’t using in this race? I don’t see that going far.

According to you, no good deed should go unpunished.

Are you so jaded that you believe that no one would do anything for anyone else without having some benefit to themselves?

You have my sympathies, and I mean that most sincerely.

I do not think this is a Mormon rite only. Isn’t the saying in the gospel something about “storing treasues on Earth instead of Heaven,” Book of Matthew, maybe?

______________________________________

No its not...

If he did have something to do with it it shows how stingy and mean he really is...

The LORD jesus Christ was angry at the rich selfish “givers” who gave a little ourt of their plenty...

he was pleased with te poor widow who gave 2 pennies...

So if rich Willard wanted to make a splash with God he should have spent some of those $250 MILLION that hes hoarding in his barns on the poor and bought something worthwhile like motorized wheelchairs or more beds or built an extention onto the building and kept quiet about it...

But NOOOOOOO

we get to know all the “anonymous” things that Willard supposedly did...

Kid if theyre anonymous NOBODY ever gets to know about them...

Christian pastors do this kind of stuff every day and its normal living for them...

they often dont have much but they outdo your meanhearted boy Wee Willard by a mile...

and they dont feel they have to tell breathless Glenn Beck what they might have done 10 years ago...
