James Carville: Romney’s Mormon religion still a problem [Mitt silent on bishop, gov roles]

n an appearance on WWL radio in New Orleans earlier this week, James Carville surveyed the Romney campaign and said the presumptive GOP nominee still hasn’t overcome the issue of his Mormon religion.

According to Carville, who has a forthcoming book called “It’s the Middle Class, Stupid,” Romney’s reluctance to talk openly about that is keeping him from dominating the campaign against President Barack Obama.

“One of the problems that Romney has honestly is — the thing against him the most is his religion,” Carville said. “And he doesn’t understand the reasons. He doesn’t talk about that. He was a bishop in his church. And he doesn’t talk about the one public office that he held much and that was being the governor of Massachusetts. So, he talks about Bain, but that’s become sort of a big issue in the campaign. He’s got to, you know — if you look at the numbers, Romney should win this campaign.”

“So, I think Romney is going to come out — I think they’re going to recalibrate their strategy a little bit,” he said. “I think they’re going to have to. And he just going to have to be more aggressive talking about some of the things he has done and give people a window into as who he is.”

The best thing for Romney to do, Carville said, would be to highlight his ability to “fix things.”

“I would say, look people are looking for someone that can fix things,” Carville said. “And you got to tell them Romney is that guy. You know, you accomplished that with the Olympics. You actually accomplished that when you were governor of Massachusetts. And you actually accomplished that when you ran Bain.”

What are Inmans? I see the word used frequently on these threads, but have never come across it anywhere else. The closest reference I can think of is John Inman, the wonderfully humorous British actor on the old show “Are You Being Served?” Are you calling folks here “wonderfully humorous British actors”? [Miserare]

I'm sure the queen of the Inmans will be along soon enough to 'set the record straight' so I'll leave it at that. [MHGinTN]

No need for any "queen" to do anything; just stop making false accusations, MHG, would you? (And then you wouldn't constantly need to be set straight). First Elsie, now Restornu: You just falsely accused Mormon Restornu...and now we have to defend her honor...

You, MHG, said: The name is derived from a notorious MormonISM apologist who went by the handle 'restornu' at FR. She became so flustered one day that she accused several of the opposition to the ISM posters of being like the 'flying Imams' who tried to make a fuss on an airplane so they could sue the airline for whatever. Restornu derived her handle probably from the specious claim of LDS inc that Joe Smith, notorious sexual predator of married women and conman peepstone false prophet restored Christianity to the human family, and Mormons like resty believe they can proselytize non-Mormons, to restore their family-hood to the Mormon god on Kolob. Restornu had visual problems and typed up 'Inmans'. She regularly got posting help from banned apologists who would sent to her whole essays she would then post as hers. When she posted lengthy essays with no errors in the lettering, spelling, or syntax, it was obvious she was not the author, yet she often rebuked us for calling her on the plagarism. [False statement by MHGinTN]

Miserare, the above is an out and out falsehood!!!

THE TRUE ACCOUNT OF THE 'FLYING INMAN' DESIGNATION

...the "Flying Inman" designation was given by an Episcopalian -- not a Mormon. (Albeit a Romneyfied Episcopalian). See FI origination

Just as "Christian" was a derisive term first bestowed upon them by their opposition @ Antioch (see book of Acts), "Flying Inmans" was meant to be yet another derisive term used by a self-confessed FR "Romneybot" (his, Plutarch's term, not mine)...(And it was Greyfoxx39 who immediately noted back then that Plutarch was essentially comparing us to "terrorist wannabes").

In that infamous post, Plutarch said (to Colorcountry & six others of us he copied): I regard the claims of Mormonism as theological. Didn't you claim to eschew theological discussion on political threads a few posts back? Henceforth, you and your co-FR-theologians shall be known as the FR Flying Inmans, because in a secular setting you make a big fuss out of religion...

Now in partial defense of Plutarch, there was a bit of "play" involved in this gesture...it wasn't what I would call 100% mean-spirited. In fact, Plutarch, when it was pointed out that he mispelled "Inman" then wrote: Far be it from me to call people names. That would be mean. The FR Flying Imam appellation is just a nickname, you know, like what GWB bestows on reporters and everyone else. It don't mean nothing. If those of you whose negative posting on Romney derive from your theological disagreement with Mormonism want to call yourself something positive, such as Crusaders for Truth, go ahead. I support Romney, so I guess I am a Romneybot.

So if...
...a self-confessed "Romneybot" designated us as "Flying Inmans"...
...in an FR thread headlined "Romney Beginning to Look Like GOP Front-Runner"...
...well consider the source.

You really are a piece of work. Which part of the lengthy, multi-sentence paragraph you quoted was false? If you expect me to correct my recolllection, you might point to which sentence was incorrect. Did restornu not have vision problems and post garbled sentences because of it? Did we not point out that she had amazingly perfect paragraphs on occasion and on a few she acknowledge then that she had doen a drag and paste? Was resty not trying to proselytize non-Mormons?

BTW, nice work, Colo, you stepped up and allowed the queen to stay in the background and just cheerlead. Way to go, such devotion. I do appreciate your leaping in and confirming your perfidious nature. It is becoming more exposed each time you play these twisting games of half true half false. You are getting rather adept at these alinskyesque methods. And you have a fan club now so it must give you a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing you're so appreciated

I do find it interesting that you characterize Resty as honorable after she spent years playing ISM apologetics for the same religion you seem to believe should be the crucifixion factor for Milt Rominy. But of course, these 'religion of Mitt Romney threads' are a small percentage about the ISM and the majority percentage about Milt the liberal, so I guess you consider them legitimate uses of the religion forum, right?

Since you are such an ardent last-worder, I'll stop here and let you and your fan club sling the last insults. As the old Russian said, 'Have nice day'.

U-2012>I wil trust any Mormon over any Marxist !
They’re both evil. Pray for BHO and Mitt’s conversion.
These two reject Christ, reject He is God and are grown men not teenagers in rebellion. Imagine, leading our nation!

Our Lord asks...will there be any faith when I return?

Did Yah'shua seek to convert Judas ?
NO ! There are some people who
are so intimate with haSatan that
they have become one with him.
With discernment, one can identify
those who are evil players,
as we enter these end times.
I pray as Yah'shua taught us:
do not bring us into the hands of a test
and protect us from all evil
amen

shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach

“NO ! There are some people who
are so intimate with haSatan that

I pray as Yah’shua taught us:

I don’t know friend, did you see the Youtube testimony from
doctor, Dr. Anthony Levantino, he had performed late term, 24 week abortions? He testified to 1200 abortions total!

The mystery of prayers and sacrifices/sufferings offered and how God’s grace works. We believe though...

Enough prayers and sacrifices offered, could Romney change?
He’s a national figure, it could happen, look at all the
prayers said.

Now BHO, I feel bad for his girls and he had a terrible father but Jesus Mercy, Obama chose to be Herod!!

An abortion doctor changes VS President Obama changing?!@
Everyone, offer Our Fathers, any prayer, rote or personal for conversions.
