What‘s With David Axelrod’s Weird Tweet About Mormons? And Why Did He Delete It?
The BLaze ^ | 031612 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 03/16/2012 9:40:29 PM PDT by Fred

Top Obama re-election adviser David Axelrod posted — and then deleted — something of a head-scratching tweet Monday that included a link to a news story about menstruating Mormon women being barred from official ceremonies.

I didn’t know that Orthodox Jews had super secret ceremonies and rituals that only the “chosen” are allowed to participate in.

“Romney is a gun grabbing socialist. I don’t see how anyone who claims to be conservative can vote for him with good conscience.”

Get real. I’ll vote for anyone or anything that runs against Obama. You are tripping if you think Romney is as bad as Obama.

“You can defend your Bishop Romney support any way you choose to, but you cannot change the fact that Mormonism is a sex and money based cult.”

So you will be voting for Oabam’s Marxist Muslim cult? Is that your ridiculous game?

If obozo gets in for a 2nd term he will appoint his people to the Supreme Court and our America is lost forever, that is a given. I don't like Mitt but there is a chance he won't do that. If for no other reason we should vote to kick obozo out. I won't vote for Mitt in the primary but I will vote for him in Nov.

"BS and if Romney is the nominee I’ll be voting for him."

if Romney is the nominee and there is no viable 3rd party write-in i may vote for Obama

i was born into the lds and have my own story about getting out of that cult, i will not set foot on this country with a mormon president over it...and if youre an ex-mormon, you know that means a shadow gov in SLC

plus, Zero has this country set to crash and burn, so put a waffle iron behind the wheel that steers according to polls?...obama destroys the country and we provide the fall guy with an 'R' next to his name so conservs take the rap...shrewd/s

the one positive note about four more years of Zero is that he owns the destruction of this country, and it's just possible that people will finally be outraged enough to have a real revolution...although that may be a dim hope...Gingrich is sitting watching the Delaware river and the Continental army is obsessed with "American Idol"

its all a replay of 2008...the liberal candidate the progressives prefer versus the rino candidate the progressives prefer

You are changing the subject to a matter that Axelrod never brought up. The original tweeted remark was that menstruating women were not permitted into certain LDS ceremonies. This is also true about Orthodox Jewish women during their periods. The Old Testament spelled out a number of restrictions about the ritual pollution this created and rabbinical law elaborated somewhat on it. It’s not really a big nuisance. Maybe the LDS women are glad to be excused from going to “weird ceremonies” for all we know.

I won’t vote for Romney. He will pick up Zero’s play book and continue right where he left off...except this time it will be under a GOP banner.

Do you think the GOP losers who are running away from the Fast&Furious scandal are going to hold his feet to the fire? Maybe the GOP leaders who gave us the wonderful debt ceiling compromise?

If you don’t think this class of losers aren’t going to gobble up every piece of gun grabbing socialist healthcare drivel that Romney spits out, you are badly mistaken. He will appoint liberal judges just like he did in Mass....and the GOP leadership will embrace them.

Our only hope is the fact that Zero is in a different party. The partisan politics will make it at least tougher to pass things and approve judges.

My reply to that is: huh? Your reply to me has nothing to do with what I said.

Why would it matter to the matter being brought up whether or not Orthodox Jews have “super secret ceremonies.” The objection in the matter being brought up is that menstruating women are being excluded from some LDS rituals. Secret, public, that has no bearing on the case.

You are an Obama voter same as 99% of Holder’s people..... so you are not a conservative. Just a muddled up angry fool. BTW I much prefer Newt or Santorum but will very happily vote Romney over Obama

So after all the anger and alleged “principle” you are an Obama voter. While I am not an Obama voter

ditto

and after libs use him like a tool to continue our downhill run, in four years they'll put the full blame on the GOP for all sins committed

No I’m not an Obama voter. I’m also not a socialist.... That pretty much eliminates Romney as well. What political issues is it that Romney supports that makes you so proud to vote for him? Do you like his gun control, his socialized medicine, his support for global warming, the fact that he defines the rich at 200k vs 250k for Zero. Maybe it’s his inclusion of Planned Parenthood,or his appointment of liberal justices. Perhaps it’s his running away from Reagan.

If you dont like Zero, how can you like Mitten? He will pursue the exact same game plan and the same GOP idiots that are silencing Issa on the Fast and Furious, and the same ones who gave us this great deal on the debt ceiling will fall right in line. The only hope is to have opposition along party lines.

If we are going to have a gun grabbing socialist in office, let it be a Democrat.

Romney is about 100x better than Obama. I hear him say lots of Conservative things on the Sean Hannity show. Romney is shifty but your job as a conservative is to hold his feet to the fire if Romney becomes president. Romney will take conservatives into account. While Obama will tilt green and tilt left to his base.

Romney is malleable. Don’t be blind

Sorry. No dice. If you can vote for him and feel good, by all means go for it.

You can only judge a politician by his record...not by what he says. Romney has proven over and over that he will say anything.

I can’t and won’t vote for him.
