Character is consistent. Voters say moral character is one of the most important things they look for in choosing the president. The character of a public figure can be hard to discern amidst a fog of self-advertising, hype, and the distorting effects of TV.

An unusual personal story gives us insight into Mitt Romney. It is 1996. Mitt Romney is the head of Bain Capital in Boston. One of his employees comes to him, utterly distraught. His 14-year-old daughter snuck out of the house to go to a rave in New York and has been missing for three days. One of her teen friends said he gave her ecstasy and that he last saw her partying under a bridge.
Did Romney offer sympathy and hope? Write a check for a private detective? Wait for the government to solve it? No -- he took responsibility. He took action. He shut down the firm and brought all the employees to New York. For 48 hours, they scoured the streets, going everywhere, asking teenagers if they'd seen the missing girl. Romney called on business associates to send more people to help until they numbered 200. He printed 300,000 fliers and got Duane Reade, one of Bain's success stories, to put fliers in every shopper's bag in their 52 stores. Romney set up a hotline. A broken-off phone call was traced; the girl was discovered in the basement of a house in New Jersey and reunited with her family.

Romney shows the missing girl's photo to a teenage girl on the street. She says to him, "No, I haven't seen her, but you're not the first person who came up and asked if I'd seen her. I wish my parents cared enough about me, to do something like this for me."

Dick Cheney is a RINO?
That's a new one!
I can see that you aren't...
but that pile on of a nice story was worthly of the jerks at DU.
But, as was shown, that 'nice story' was an AWFUL lot of SPIN.
Sometimes 'piling on' is necessary when so much blather has been pushed.
I cannot tell you how many times that 'nice story' has shown up in my personal e-mail (away from FR) by decieved Christians.
Not that their Christianity is lacking, but their education about MORMONism and it's adherant's tactics are lacking.

Hmmm. I didn't see any guidelines as to hourly rates.
Anyone supporting gay marriage is in the RINO category. Or don't you think so?

Romney isn’t a Pastor, he is a Bishop, and he sought the permission of his Holy Prophet, his Pope, to run for the Presidency.
JFK was a pew sitting member of the Catholic church, he was not a Bishop, nor did he seek his Pope’s permission to enter the fray to represent Catholicism.
Bishop Romney has personally excommunicated people, your Grandmother’s preacher never did that, nor could he.
Example follows:
Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra Taft Benson (August 4, 1899 – May 30, 1994) was the thirteenth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1985 until his death and was United States Secretary of Agriculture for both terms of the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In 1953, Benson was appointed U.S. Secretary of Agriculture by President Eisenhower. Benson accepted this position with the permission of Church President David O. McKay and therefore served simultaneously in the United States Cabinet and in the LDS Church's Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
