Romney's 'Dark' Past...Tobacco and Beer
WeArePolitics ^ | 11-22-2011 | Bill Knowles

Posted on 11/22/2011 12:48:15 PM PST by Billlknowles

Before you get the idea that this will be an article slamming former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, I hate to disappoint you. It's not. Romney isn't my first choice for the GOP nomination or even my second as most of you know, however I want to commend him. Here's why:

It has been reported today from Michael Falcone, the Deputy Political Director and reporter from ABC News that in an interview with People Magazine, Governor Romney has admitted to trying out a cigarette one time and even tasting a beer, two vices that are completely against his Mormon faith. Am I proud that Romney broke with his religion and tried something out while he was a teenager? Not really. But I would like to point out how his vices compare to that of our President, who in his autobiography "Dreams From My Father" admitted that he had "used marijuana" and "maybe a little blow". Obama also admitted that the only reason he didn't try heroin was because he didn't like the pusher who was trying to sell it to him.

Hope your flame suit is on. Anything remotely complimentary of Romney is not allowed around here.

Next scandal, Mitt Romney sipping Sumatra Mandehling in an underground beatnik jazz lunge.

Seriously, these things, if true, will probably make him appear more human. I wouldn’t even put it past Team Romney to fabricate them for that purpose.

You’ll get the full story on MItt if you read”Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters?” it is a fascinating read, written by an ex lifetime Mormon.

Our governor announced yesterday that she simply can’t find anyplace to cut in the budget, so she’s going to “ask” the voters to give her a .5% sales tax increase. I can’t wait to see how that plays out at the polls.

She should mail me a copy of the budget and a highlighter. I’ll find cuts.

I could not in good conscience vote for anyone who does not drink beer. Having puffed on my pipe for more than half a century, I would prefer a pipe smoker to a cigarette smoker. I am, however, reluctant but still willing to waive that objection. A non-beer- drinker? Never!
