Romney's Ugly Politics Now Surfacing In Surrogates

My take is, SOMEONE decided that Scouts in uniform would not be seen by the public or on TV, and set an age limit and other restrictions to make sure that happened. Since Scouts have worked almost every other Olympics in the US that I can think of, the exclusion from 2002 is remarkable.

Just throwing this out there...could it have had something to do with the fact that the LDS scout troops must all be "worthy" of mormon priesthood and this inclusion would bring in all the non-mormon scouts? So, they simply excluded ALL scouts in uniform? It WAS Utah, of course.

[Rome2000]

Wow!

Thanks for that link, GOP Lady was another maniac.

Seems like deja vu all over again, except this time I don’t see any “MITTENS”!

Seems like that phenomenon has been scrubbed from the net.

[ansel12]

I just reread that thread, interesting memory, I wonder if GOP_Lady ever converted to Mormonism.

[DBrow]

You are welcome, svcw!

[reaganaut]

Lucky guess. Well, that and she was one of the more honest LDS about what they believed.

[big'ol_freeper]

Many of them have just been Zotted in the last few months, GOP Lady being one of them. Resty and Saundra Duffy were just Zotted within the last 24 hours.

[DBrow]

Good point! Clearly there was some good reason to keep Scouts out, but not a good enough reason to be open and honest (or Transparent!) about.

[Rome2000]

MYTH ROMNEY is a degenerate con man and coward from a family of degenerate con men,cowards, and snake oil salesmen who have en masse refused to serve in this nations military for over 150 years

They fled to Mexico to practice Polygamy and his father has THREE GRANDMOTHERS

He and his 5 sons who won't be serving in the US military any time soon are best off continuing to rape weak corporations and working on becoming Gods

"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

Even a stopped clock like Honest Ape is right twice a day.

[reaganaut]

You are barking up the wrong tree there, sport. Sentinel, like me and the OP Greyfoxx39 are all FORMER MORMONS.

And we have been saying FOR YEARS that Mitt would lose in the general because all of the lies the LDS tells the public and its membership would be front and center in a contest against Obama.

We are all solidly in the ‘anti-Romney’ camp.

[savagesusie]

Wow——why can’t everyone just repeat that Willard is one evil SOB. He is-—EVIL. There I said it....you can judge people by their ACTIONS.

Repeat after me-—tolerance of evil is NOT a virtue. You have to speak out against evil and that means against EVIL PEOPLE. We need to step up and
do exactly what Bonhoeffer did....he hanged for what he said—we might not be to that stage yet....but we are getting CLOSE.

[ansel12]

GOP_Lady was incredibly lacking in character and honesty, that is a common trait of Romney supporters, she preferred to do her pro-Mormon work while shouting to the world that she was a devout Catholic, it was particularly disturbing, and she almost seemed to mock her supposed religion.

[DBrow]

“you can judge people by their ACTIONS.”

It’s difficult to tie all these things- and please read my Boy Scout post- to Willard Mitt Romney. That makes it hard to show people exactly what his actions are, and that will be the challenge in this primary fight.

MSM and GOP Elite being (apparently) very Pro-Mitt makes it tougher.

I doubt anyone will hang for opposing Mitt, though, he’ll fade in the face of informed criticism. Mitt cannot forbid us speaking in public.

[FastCoyote]

[We remember 2008 Mitt. ]

I wish we had a running account. I seem to recall he unleashed some loose canons last time who were pretty nasty, but I can’t remember the details.

[FastCoyote]

“Reaganesque was zotted by none other than the Zotfather if I recall correctly.”

I forgot about libbylu who wanted to marry Mitt and GOP_lady the lawyer. A lot of others are gone, there were a couple who were downright scary.

Who was the Mormon who threatened to run FreeRepublic into the ground?

[Diogenesis]

PREDICTION (you saw it HERE, first)
Romney and his vicious Team will
attack the GOP ticket AFTER he is rejected.

Romney and his surrogates will work for the
DNC as they did in 2010 and 2008, etc.

In the words of Mr. King, SSDD.

[reaganaut]

Who was the Mormon who threatened to run FreeRepublic into the ground?

- - - - - -
There was more than one but the big one that comes to mind is Greg West (aka SPAMLDS). He still has a blog about FR and even gave props to Sandy and Resty for getting zotted.

[Elsie]

 

You are DESPICABLE!

 

[Elsie]

Since most of the Romney-bots have been Zotted, we can now, with impunity, make all the cult-religion innuendos we want about a particular candidate.

If BAmmy wuz a MORMON; he would have apologized for the following LONG ago!!

(Since no one ELSE has!)

Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).

Joseph Smith: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).

 

 

 

Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses

, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses , 18:172).

 

 

President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses , 10:127).

 

 

 

James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).

 

 

 

President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).

 

 

 

More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).

 

 

 

President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).

 

 

President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 2, p.196).

[Elsie]

"the Romney crowd is an arrogant bunch.

Would THIS be a good place to say, "DUH!"?
