Poor Romney; widdle ol' me derailed his bid for Ruler of the Free World.
A man who, evidently, canNOT determine that his chosen religion was inspired in a country hick with little learning by two, count 'em, TWO demons!

they still haven't learned that the DC press and the rest of the media will NEVER say a positive thing about them until they die, regardless of what they do.
if they could figure that out and grow a pair they might actually get something accomplished besides screwing the country
As for Jeb Bush, shaking my head.
I'm not voting for either one since they are both leftwing liberals like Romney and his supporters (you). But you'll be bashing Conservatives like me for backing Scott Walker or Rand Paul just the same because we won't vote for whatever "It's my turn" RINO the GOP preordains next time.
It's not my job to back RINOs. It's the job of the GOP to try to win my vote. And I will not hold my nose again as I did for McCain and Mittens. FUGOP.
I swore after holding my nose for McCain that I would never do it again, yet voted for Romney only to get rid of zero.
I won’t do it again, zero can’t run anymore.
The gop needs to put up a conservative, or lose again. So they’ll probably lose again.
Then we are in agreement. And have a lot of work ahead of us.
...as it's Mormon SCRIPTURE that contains: enable men to become gods.
Isn't that what ANTI-christ is?
A GOD?
I merely asked the QUESTION: where did the idea come from; and then I showed, from MORMON writings; where it emanated.
Trying to dump on ME, for broadcasting the things MORMONism teaches, will NOT make SLC's teachings disappear.

For what?
Posting facts straight from MORMONism, Inc's printing presses?
The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor,
in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed.
They were subsequently published in Church periodicals.
They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.

Izzat so?
How did you come by this amazing ability?
They had some trying to get the 2012 nod; but the Romney team effectively marginalized them at the primary level.
The GOP was WARNED, over and over again, NOT to run a MORMON heretic; as Conservatives who actually KNOW something about Christianity would NOT vote for him.
Was that a YES; a NO; or a “Look over there!”?
A little while ago I was on the subway and there was a crazy guy ranting to himself so I gave him a evil eye hoping he’d shut up.
Then it hit me..Could I be any stupider trying to stop a crazy guy being crazy?
I saw you. It is immediately and obviously apparent. Most people can see it, too. Not just me.
It was more like a third, in the sources I saw years ago. The people were split third-third-third, the Tories and revolutionaries even and the third in the middle being noncommittal.
The fact I concentrate on more is that when the Tories lost, they lost everything. Homes, property, wealth -- they were stripped, if not killed. That is what bids fair to happen to us, if Obama gets his way and gets 25,000,000 Mexicans to the polls to elect people like him to state and federal offices.
Karl Rove. That's what he always tells candidates.
I guess his calculation is, that if oppo lies weaken his candidate, his candidate needs Karl more than ever.
There were people who joined of course after the Revolution started, only about 1/3 sat out or left, in the beginning it really was only about 17% of the population who were interested in stopping the British.
I beleive the same would happen here.
Many people don’t know what to do but willing and are just waiting for someone to take charge.
Excuse me? Come again? Were you around during the primaries? And what was that about having his staffy trolls running to the MSM every weekend for three years, telling tales out of school (some of them even halfway true) about Sarah Palin? And before Sarah, about Fred Thompson. The way Mitt's guys told it, Fred was the biggest abortionist in America. He had roast baby for breakfast, did Fred.
But that’s neither here nor there.
Yes, it is "here or there" -- how Romney won the nomination, is exactly why he lost the general.
Obama spotted Romney a 7,000,000-vote decline from Obama's 2008 popular vote, but Mitt couldn't catch him -- he himself sent the conservatives home empty and cashless, reviled and rebuked them, and then expected them to come out and vote for him in the general. He sneered about Texas conservative voters, "They'll come to me when I'm the last man standing." No, Mitt, they didn't and they won't; they don't respond to arrogant candidates like you.
No sooner did you say it, than Elsie itself provided it. See post 48 following yours:
And another FR challenge happily met and satisfied!
Elsie is bonkers about Mormons.
Me?
You have NO comments at ALL about the QUOTES and WRITINGS of MORMONism?
That seems a bit; shall we say; one-sided.
Yup!
I want them to get saved; and no longer be enslaved to a system that will work them so cheaply.
MORMONism does that; and BRAGS about it!
The following statements from LDS leaders explain their disapproval of a paid ministry. Joseph Smith once boasted:
"The only principle upon which they judge me is by comparing my acts with the foolish traditions of their fathers and nonsensical teachings of hireling priests, whose object and aim were to keep the people in ignorance for the sake of filthy lucre; or as the prophet says, to feed themselves, not the flock." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 315)
President Brigham Young declared:
"How much tithing do you pay? The professing Christians, apostates and others have a great deal to say about the Saints paying tithing. Now let us compare notes. The Elders of this Church travel and preach without purse or scrip, and labor at home as Bishops, Presidents, High Counselors, and Ministers, free of charge. Now take the Christians, how many of their Ministers preach without pay? Go to their meetings, in their churches, halls, schoolhouses, or any of their public gatherings, and you have a box, a plate, or a hat put under your face, and it is, 'Give me a sixpence, give me a sixpence, give me a sixpence!' Show me the Elder of this Church that does this? We preach the Gospel without purse or scrip and work for our own bread and butter. Yet the Christian world whine about our paying tithing. The Saints should pay the tenth of their income with glad and thankful hearts, and help to bring home the poor. We have supported and helped the poor to the amount of millions." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 16, p. 44 - p.45, Brigham Young, May 18, 1873)
LDS Apostle George A. Smith preached:
"While all this has been done for our country, and we have comparatively tamed the savage and held in check his wild and blood-thirsty nature, that the inhabitants of the world could travel across the deserts without being robbed and murdered, we have been the subject of vile scandal, simply because our religious views were different from those of the hireling clergy who occupy the pulpits of Christendom. We taught that men should preach the Gospel without purse or scrip—preach it freely; and a man who depended upon a congregation for a salary by which to obtain his black coat and fit-out, was ready to denounce preaching without purse and scrip as a heresy; why? Because it would reduce him to the necessity of going to some useful calling, instead of making merchandise of the Gospel, which God has made free." (Journal of Discourses, Vol.11, p.179, George Albert Smith, October 8, 1865)
I have heard this described as voluntary service because neither the bishop nor his counselors are paid for what they do.
While others on this thread illustrate a secular acceptance of any 'religion' that fails to physically harm them.
