Yes, even the guy whose daughter didn’t come home, she must be the only teen that ever left home for a few days, because it is the only time that Mitt spared no expense or effort to do that. Her dad is powerful in Mormonism, and Mitt has milked it in ads.

Here is the truth about his other “heroism” regarding the teenage daughter of a fellow Mormon Bishop, Melissa Gay, that you mentioned and the ad he has used to promote it.

This one time effort for a powerful, wealthy fellow Mormon leader and executive has never been done again by Mormon Bishop Romney, it was Mormon insider stuff by the elites, way over the top for a teen girl that went to a rave and stayed with her friends for a couple of days.

Mormon Bishop, Robert Gay, the Bain executive is at the top among Mormon leaders, On March 31, 2012, he became a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy.

“But several acquaintances of the teen who knew her well at the time and have not spoken publicly before told The Daily a different story: one of a rebellious adolescent in a moment of high-spirited escapism who hid from her parents in relative safety in an upscale New Jersey town.

And they credited the group of new friends she made during her disappearance, including a boyfriend, as the ones who ultimately encouraged Melissa Gay — daughter of Romney’s colleague at private equity firm Bain Capital — to head home to her panicked family.”

“Did Mitt Romney ‘save’ this girl? No,” said Doug Becker, the then-boyfriend and now a 32-year-old pastor in the same town of Rockaway, N.J. “But I do think what spurred her going home was the kind of coverage it was getting, and I think [Romney] was pretty responsible for that.”

“Another childhood friend, speaking anonymously, was more blunt. “I think the ad is incredibly misleading. Dishonest is the word for it,” the friend said. “She wasn’t saved, she ran away to go to a rave, and got lost and wound up in New Jersey. She paged a friend to come get her.”

Wow, you guys are amazing. All the Olympians (including the little skier from L.A.), the steel workers and Staples employees. All Mormons? What does that "anonymous childhood friend" have to say?

And did Romney know the girl had just gone to a rave when he closed the office down?

FYI: the guy who ran his campaign and produced those ads, didn't get the story from Mitt. His team did independent research and found it.

I assume then that you prefer good Catholics like the murderous theives known as the Kennedys that lobotmized their own daughter.

Forget my last post question. You ARE a bigot.
