It is an open secret in Washington, D.C. that the Mormon church supports open borders and lax enforcement of immigration laws. Many Mormon politicians have been supporting amnesty and open borders for decades. When I was in Congress I had a confrontation with former Utah Senator Robert Bennett over his sponsorship of an amendment to exempt religious institutions from a Sanctuary City bill establishing penalties for harboring illegal aliens. It turned out he did it at the request of his church leaders. Mormon church support for John McCain in his Arizona Republican primary race is also due in large part to his open borders record and his challenger’s strong criticism of McCain’s hypocrisy on border security.
“Romney is involved in Ukraine......”
That’s my bet, too. He’s guilty and wants the heat to come off.
We have the voters in Utah to thank for that.
“ Coulter says he’s aiming to get a McCain-level funeral.”
I hope he gets it. Very, very soon.
Next week works for me.

Can Impeachment Succeed in a Time of Hyper-Partisanship?

Romney has certainly demonstrated the capacity, in the past, to exercise moral leadership. During the 2016 campaign, he delivered an extraordinary speech denouncing Trump, who had become the Republican front-runner, as a “con man, a fake.” And, on the eve of his swearing-in to the U.S. Senate, Romney published an op-ed in the Washington Post that asserted that Trump “has not risen to the mantle of the office.” Romney’s role model in public service has long been his father, George Romney, the former Republican governor of Michigan, ...

In some 1967 polling, Michigan Governor George Romney, a former auto company executive, led Nixon among moderates. Nixon’s initial challenger for the Republican nomination was Gov. George Romney of Michigan, father of Mitt Romney, the recent Republican presidential candidate of 2008. George Romney was a successful business leader at the American Motors car company from 1954 to 1962, maker of one of the early compact cars named the Rambler. He became Governor of Michigan from 1963 to 1969. Romney formally entered the race for the Republican presidential nomination in late November 1967, saying, “A Republican president can work for a just peace in Vietnam unshackled by the mistakes of the past.” Although Romney led Nixon among moderates in very early polls, he soon met with political misfortune. Romney had initially supported the war in Vietnam, but later moderated his position after making a fact-finding visit there in 1965. “I no longer believe that it was necessary for us to get involved in South Vietnam to stop Communist aggression in Southeast Asia,” he explained at one point, urging “a sound peace in South Vietnam at an early time.” This was a sharp reversal from his earlier belief that the war was “morally right and necessary.” However, in making his reversal on the war, Romney explained during one interview of being misled by military officials, using the term “brainwashed,” which would turn out to be an unfortunate choice of words that eventually undid his presidential bid. By February 1968, less than two weeks before the New Hampshire primary, Romney pulled out of the race.

With Nixon in ‘68: The Year America Came Apart
27 April 2018
America’s most divisive year since the Civil War had begun.
Nixon’s lone opponent for the Republican nomination was George Romney, three-term governor of Michigan and a legend at American Motors, where he had promoted the Nash Rambler. Romney had led in the polls in December 1966 and seemed the clear favorite, but by now he was not.
After campaigning in 35 states in 1966, leading the GOP to its greatest off-year victory in congressional races since 1946, Nixon had declared a moratorium on politics and dropped out of sight. Is it wise, I asked him, to cede Romney such a tremendous head start? Sensing what the press would do to Romney, Nixon told me, “Let ‘em chew on him for a little while.”
Nixon’s instincts proved right. Romney was unprepared. On pre-campaign swings in 1967 he bickered with the press, and that August he made a fatal blunder. Explaining on a TV show why he was changing his position on the war, Romney said that on a previous visit to Vietnam, “I just had the greatest brainwashing anybody can get” from U.S. generals and diplomats.
The ridicule and mockery were ceaseless and universal. Sen. Eugene McCarthy said that, in Romney’s case, a full brainwashing was unneeded, as “a light rinse would have sufficed.” Romney plummeted in the polls, never to recover.
As Romney spun his wheels in New Hampshire, Nixon ignored his calls to debate, declining even to mention his name. Our polls showed us heading for a 5-1 landslide that would erase the “loser” image that had clung to Nixon since his loss to JFK in 1960 and his defeat in the California governor’s race in 1962.
With humiliation ahead, Romney abruptly ended his candidacy on Feb. 28, 1968, robbing Nixon of his triumph. What historians call “crazy March” now began. In the Democratic primary in New Hampshire, Sen. McCarthy, running an anti-war protest campaign, got 42 percent of the vote. Lyndon Johnson won with 49 percent, though his name was not on the ballot. Inexplicably, the president of the United States had run as a write-in candidate.

After the election, Nixon named Romney to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The president-elect made the announcement as part of a nationally televised presentation of his new cabinet on December 11, 1968.[199] Nixon praised Romney for his “missionary zeal” and said that he would also be tasked with mobilizing volunteer organizations to fight poverty and disease within the United States.[199] In actuality, Nixon distrusted Romney politically, and appointed him to a liberally oriented, low-profile federal agency partly to appease Republican moderates and partly to reduce Romney’s potential to challenge for the 1972 Republican presidential nomination.[194][201][202]
Being the concerned citizens we are maybe we should ALL contact his office and ask?
He’s probably just been too busy back stabbing to get around to it, or maybe he’s been occupied getting fitted for magical underwear? I’m sure there’s a perfectly fine reason he hasn’t crawled out from under his rock to give a divine utterance to us, the unwashed masses.
I really don’t care what Romney is concerned with.
I am deeply concerned over your deep concern..........................
