I’ve got a new partisan breakdown of some numbers from the new NBC/WSJ poll, and here’s the verdict: Romney’s unfavorability rating among independents has spiked 20 points in the last two months.
The poll found that among overall Americans, Romney is rated very or somewhat positively by 31 percent, while he’s rated very or somewhat negatively by 36 percent............
In November, Romney was rated somewhat or very negatively by 22 percent of independents.
In December, Romney was rated somewhat or very negatively by 29 percent of independents.
And in the new poll, Romney was rated somewhat or very negatively by 42 percent of independents — 20 points higher than two months ago.
Also: In November, Romney was beating Obama 47-34 among those voters. Now the numbers are upside down: Obama is beating Romney 44-36.
(A recent Post/ABC News poll also found Romney’s negative rating among independent had jumped to 51 percent.)...........
“Romney’s lack of connection with average people and Obama’s improving numbers on the economy account for the turnaround with independents,” Hart said.
“It’s not as though they have said Bain has disqualified him or that he can’t be trusted because of his taxes — but this has created a gulf between him and the average voter,” Hart said. “Bain and the taxes just reinforce the sense that this person is in a different world. If you’re an independent voter not driven by partisanship, you read all the other tea leaves to decide who is going to fight your fight.”
“When he was only the opponent of Obama, he was getting the independent vote as the alternative,” Hart says. “Now they see him in full relief, and they’re saying, `This isn’t my guy.’

BISHOP MITT ROMNEY, HIGH PRIEST AND PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Bernard Francis Law for President of the United States? Why would one anyone be opposed? Archbishop Law presided over Boston’s Roman Catholic Churches, which had overlapped Mitt Romney’s rule over Mormon churches in the same area. Secularized America, now in a Fourth Great Awakening, is considering missionary- pastor-archpriest-bishop Romney as a serious candidate for Commander in Chief. Surely Christopher Hitchens would not be pleased.
Beginning in the mid 1980s, Romney served for nearly ten years as bishop over the Boston Mormon churches where he directed over a dozen congregations. Romney said that his experience as a pastor gave him practical experience working with the down and out.
According to the Mormon religion, the presidential candidate became an ordained priest of Aaron when he was a teenager. A Mormon priest is the authority and power of God Himself. The Aaronic Priesthood holds the key of ministering angels by teaching doctrines of the church – the Mormon church that is. Priests of Aaron are called “to administer the law of carnal commandments.” Mitt’s cousin, Marion Romney, wrote in his revised edition of the Doctrines and Covenants Commentary that the Mormon priesthood was no different than the relationship between Aaron and Moses in the Bible. Aaron was a spokesman “instead of God;” we assume that Mormon priest Mitt Romney considers himself one as well.
High Priest and Bishop ... and President of the USA?
The ministering of angels aspect of the Aaronic Priesthood is quite powerful according to Mormon authorities: “…the action of angels or messengers of God upon our minds, so that the heart can conceive things past, present, and to come, and revelations from the eternal world, is, among a majority of mankind, a great mystery…” Thus saith Mitt Romney’s cousin, Marion, who was a church theologian and LDS boss. Wouldn’t it be great to have a guy like this running the country? He could interpret the “mysteries” of world for the entire country through angelic beings.
Upon promotion to the high Melchizedek Priesthood (a title, which according to the Bible, belongs to Jesus Christ alone) Mitt Romney became governor of the kingdom of God on earth. Romney is a “…high priest and called to a presidency, high council, or bishop …” Joseph Smith claimed that the ordainment into this elite class of priests enrolls a man into “a Priesthood of the Son of God.” The Priests of Aaron are enabled to “see God, even God the Father.”
Mitt Romney’s elevation to the high Melchizedek priesthood comes with a responsibility “to obtain revelations of the mind and will of God. It is the privilege of the Melchizedek Priesthood to reprove, rebuke, and admonish, as well as to receive revelation.”
The Mormon Melchizedek priests are made presidents of their church; therefore why not make them President of the entire country? What could possibly go wrong?

I’m curious. If Romney did become President, what do you think he would do, as a Mormon, to hurt the country?
If a filthy rich Catholic Cardinal was running for POTUS, the subject of his high position in the Church would come up.
Romney is not just a Mormon, he is high up the food chain in church hierarchy, comparable to a Cardinal.
MORMONISM IS A CON, founded by a con man, a CONVICTED con man.
JESUS was not in MISSOURI.
Romney might mandate we wear magical underwear and tithe to his cult.
Gingrich on the Chattahoochee River. I like the guy.
It’s ironic that the party—the Repubs—say that they are tolerant, but go after Mitt’s religion...
