Who is the boss -- Willard, or, a shadowy group of Mormon Church elders???

[Kickin' Ass and Takin' Names]

Mitt Romney�s Mormon faith�the topic that just won�t go away.

It was mentioned often during the Republican primary and was
considered a liability�especially in Romney�s head-to-head matches
with Evangelical conservatives like Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry.
Since the primary, however, both Republican and Democratic officials
have been silent on the topic. Mitt Romney has been pointedly discreet
about his faith�not wanting to make it a topic of conversation�and the
Obama campaign has wisely steered clear of it.

But apparently Americans voters are not done discussing it.

Just a week before Election Day, the topic of Romney�s religion�one
many Americans consider a cult�is coming back with a vengeance.
There�s been a flare-up of both mainstream and guerilla pieces, with
concerns being expressed on both the left and the right.





Vanity Fair did a large and revealing article about LDS Church
influence over Mormon politicians two weeks ago, particularly
Republicans�it should be noted that they did not even mention Harry
Reid, the Senate Majority Leader and Democrat from Nevada. Then
legendary Billy Graham took Mormonism off of his �cult list��a move
that enraged Evangelical Christians who consider LDS doctrine to be an
abomination against their faith.

Is it the church, or is it Romney? Other Mormon politicians � like
Reid, mentioned above � don�t seem to be affected by the fact that
they�re Mormon (Jon Huntsman, Orrin Hatch, etc.). He�s the first to
have serious media attention because of it. Also, without Romney�s
full taxes being released, how do we know what business strings may
control the Romney marionette once he�s in office?

Here�s a video that asks a very important question, from our friends
over at Faith in Country:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GvDpijTUCas&list=UUlRp6Zwa4-6mkaNYf5ajHSw


The question asked is somewhat loaded, but still requires an answer:
who is the boss? Does Mitt Romney answer to the good of the country or
the good of his church? As a secularist above all, I generally would
have no issue with a candidate�s religion. After all, Harry Reid is a
Mormon, and you don�t see his name in the title. The issue with Romney
is that he�s impossible to pin down on anything. Even quite a few
Mormons I talk to don�t support him, and the Salt Lake Tribune
endorsed Barack Obama for another term.

Mitt Romney also has more support from the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints than any candidate before, making it seem more
likely that he will, indeed, answer to church officials instead of the
good of the nation. In fact, critics of Romney have been threatened
with excommunication if they do not halt their behavior.

Faith in Country teamed up with Addicting Info to provide us with this
video. They describe themselves as being �red-blooded, patriotic
Americans who put our country first and fight for the truth. We ask
tough questions and we celebrate our right to speak freely and openly
about topics affecting our society.�

They also were quick to assure that this is not an attack on Mormonism
itself, saying,

The ad does not criticize religion or Mormonism is any way. With every
candidate, we seek to understand the influence of institutions,
ideologies, and people over them�for example, communism, corporations,
labor, wealthy donors, etc. Why shouldn�t we also understand a
religious institution�s influence over a candidate? Calling something
a �religion� shouldn�t be a magical shield from questioning. It would
be dangerous to suggest that any institution or person in our society
is above questioning. That is not the American way.

The piece poses an important question�one all Americans should be
asking. Does it try to provoke an emotional reaction? Yes�as any spot
does. If we didn�t want to generate an emotional response, we�d simply
write the question on a white index card.

With the election only days away, we must ask ourselves: to whom does
Mitt Romney answer to, and will he work to benefit the nation?

Romney needs to go live on national TV wearing only his mormon temple
garments (sort of like a girdle).
That way he could pick up some fag boy votes,

Those who are about to elect him President of the United States don't
seem bothered by it at all, ole sojer.

Oops! Caught Lying, Again:

- In November 2002, the members of KEDO [ Korean Peninsula Energy
Development Organization] agreed to suspend heavy fuel oil shipments
to North Korea pending a resolution of the nuclear dispute.

- North Korea agreed to preliminary three-party talks with China and
the United States in Beijing in April 2003.

- The third phase of the fifth round of talks held on February 8,
2007, concluded with a landmark action-for-action agreement. Goodwill
by all sides has led to the US unfreezing all of the North Korean
assets on March 19, 2007.[21]

- As of October 11, 2008, North Korea has agreed to all U.S. nuclear
inspection demands and the Bush Administration responded by removing
the communist country from a terrorism blacklist.
