That's what I like about you. Grass roots sincerity. "An Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile".
I have a friend who was in the Navy, stationed for some years in Florida, who told me someone actually asked him, in the presence of his wife, if he really had horns buried in his curly hair. His wife said "Of course he does", and they smirked at his expression of horror. But I do realize my rhetoric was a gross exaggeration generally, like some of the other stuff I said. . . . If I owned a major newspaper, I'd be pretty good at "yellow journalism" and would probably be very well paid by some interested social engineers/planners/change agent financiers unless I decided all that money wouldn't mean much when I'm writhing on the spit being slowly turned over the sulfurous fiery cauldrons of Hell.
I sincerely believe there are oh maybe twenty percent of the voters in the South who will hold their noses while voting for Mitt, and pray to Jesus for mercy. . . . for themselves as well as our Nation.
As an editorial note, I am usually unashamed at resorting to rhetoric of the most florid style to set up an unusual point of view.
cheers.

And now you're quoting scripture or something. Listen, babe, if it's not in a Stephen King book or a German metal band, then I'm lost. Please, dumb it down kind sir.
will "laugh it up" work for you??
I do find this concept an interesting one .. and must say I can see it happening.
That's one of the reasons babe is no 1 in my list and you're no 25.. oh wait.
So how often are you going to update the rankings?
You're awesome, btw. If I had a list you'd be #1 for sure.
Hey thanks man.
Serious answer... I'm considering to remove it, I noticed there are many many great posters here only after I made the list. On the other hand it's so much fun to hear the responses, hmm I couldn't decide yet.
But if I continue, there is a good possibility of you being rising in the list, you're gaining some serious points lately.
Brown nosing will do that for you.
If that was the case my list would be entirely different.
Actually I didn't understand exactly what did you mean

Oh I was just messing around with gameface.
I think you are way off the mark with this post and the op. I believe the point of the post was to try to use big words and play the role of Nostradamus to make yourself sound smart while stating you do not like the idea of a Mitt in the White Home. Didn't work this time for me.
I look forward to your next attempt eagerly.

active, decent, card-carrying Mormons will not be the avant-garde activists decrying the follies of LDS leaders high or low.
your place in the show is the loyal apologists who will spin ever-more creative apologetics and faithful fairy tales.
I'm surprized Colton or Jason haven't put me out to pasture, yet.
I know when I'm being an ***. And when being right just sounds like that.
This topic has no connection to the truthfulness or virtue of God, or His willingness to love and sustain Mormons in their efforts to build the family of God. Catholics and Protestants have already had their day in the political sun, with the same result for their faiths as what I'm saying the LDS will experience. A whole lot of folks realizing that a religious man in politics is just oxymoronic. Maybe more succinctly put as "moronic on steroids."
But my point is Mitt isn't any more representative of Mormonism than Harry Reid, and certainly no better as a politician. And just exactly why can I say that without any caveat or humble little expression that maybe I'm just wrong for all I know???? For the same reason I didn't think Obama was "real change". . . . . because of the people standing in the background in support of his run. George Bush maybe instead of Bill Clinton, but the same corporates including pharmaceutic cartelists and military suppliers and wall street bankers and a whole pack of eager beaver schemers doing an end-run around Constitutional principles and hoping to manage the world without actually honoring human rights.
If Mormons get linked to Mitt in the public mind, the time will come when it will be a huge problem for LDS missionary credibility.
It is my opinion that they always have been. While that opinion may affect missionary work in the U.S., and maybe even Canada and Mexico, I do not see it affecting missionary work in places such as Ghana, New Zealand or Japan. Mormonism is alive and well outside Utah and outside the U.S.
You are #2 on my list, right behind Beef Steak.

Can you elaborate on this a little more? I don't understand how Mitt being president will influence LDS missionary credibility. I'm not LDS, however, I do know a bit about the program. I've had numerous friends go on LDS missions.
He's saying that Mitt will be a horrid president and will screw the US so hard that if people begin to associate Mitt with the missionary program, people will view LDS missionaries as being just as evil as Mitt thereby decreasing their credibility in attracting converts.
