The Florida Times-Union ^ | 4/29/12 | Carole Fader

Posted on 10/19/2012 6:52:01 PM PDT by sushiman

Is it true that Mitt Romney closed down his firm, Bain Capital, and flew 30 workers to New York to look for the missing daughter of one of his colleagues?

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.

Actually, they were ALL Mormons, with the exception of the milk for the homeless shelter, that was a part of his political campaigning in Massachusetts, and a recovery from a flippant, insulting gaffe that he had made while touring it.

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?

Not at all, I am merely keeping truth involved in these tall tales, the facts of them should not be glossed over to create something that is different from what it was.

The facts being filled in should not be a problem.

Were talking about Willard here...

and its a well known fact that Willard doesnt do anything for anyone without PR and a camera along or makes sure theres someone to report it...

Yes he does it for his own benefit...

otherwise he wouldnt be trying to use it to coerse you into voting for him...

Doing “nice” things for people doesnt qualify a guy for POTUS...

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

No one is attacking the ads, and they haven't been used for months, but they have been used this year, they are run in all Romney elections.

as I recall Willard didnt even bother to go there or even think about going there until a couple of weeks after Ted Kennedy had been...

Then he decided to go too...

It wasnt something he normally would have done...

Lecturing me on the Lord Jesus Christ? I’m far from the perfect Christian, but I would be shaking in my shoes if I were committing the deliberate, malicious lies you do here daily.

Wouldn’t it be GOD’S will that a law be passed to finally block gay marriage in Massachusetts once and for all? Romney was leading that effort. For you to lie about that and try to manipulate people into believing exactly the opposite? I honestly don’t know how you can justify that to yourself as a Christian.

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?

Remember that in Bishop Romney's religion, works and at least 10% of your income is required to become a God.

To quote the Catholics:
""By following all the rules and ordinances of God here, Mormon men and women have the potential of also becoming gods (by first becoming a good Mormon, paying a full ten percent tithe to the Mormon church, and follow various laws and ordinances of the church). "As god once was, man is. As God is, man may become" (Joseph Smith's words). Mormons believe that there are many worlds and many gods. Each god is similar to God the Father, having the same powers and omnipotence, and even being able to create their own worlds. "Heavenly Father" is only the name of the god who rules over this world.""

Wrong again. This story says nothing about the Romney family demanding to see any soggy Mormon ID as they heard the screaming family and rescued them after their boat sank.

But knowing you, next you’ll accuse Romney of sending a secret torpedo to destroy their boat so it would make a good news article! LOL

http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/the-heroic-romney-rescue-that-for-some-reason-th

“A late evening rescue of a capsized family in 2003 shows Romney at his bravest and most decisive. He saved the dog too.”

Well your boy Wee willie wont be asking God to do that...

Willard was the one who caused MASS to be the 1st staste to have gay marriage in the first place...

I gather Willard never bothered to ask the Biblical God if He agreed at that time...

It was just Willard’s will that a law be passed FOR gay marriage and not God’s...

If the fact that Romney is a mormon bothers you THAT much, feel free to vote for the other guy.

How’s this picture...

Romney = Friend asks Romney for help to find his missing daughter
Result = Closes down his firm to help search for girl. Missing girl is found, alive.

Obama = Libyan Ambassador asks for security to keep him safe from Al Qaeda
Result = Requested security is refused repeatedly, Libyan Ambassador is murdered, along with three other Americans.

I am not electing a Pastor in Chief.

I have faith that he will get the job done as President of the United States.

No I was correct, did you even look at the videos in post 15? Boating wasn’t on the list.

As for that silly boating story that you brought up, that is another fake Romney legend.

Why post that to me, it wasn’t relevant to the post you were responding to.

Vote for who ever you want, and Mitt was the equivalent of a Catholic Bishop, not a Priest, although he does carry that title.
