4. Too many lies, too little time
Thu Oct 4, 2012, 11:02 AM
Oct 2012

President Obama was prepared to have a real debate, based on facts, but Romney came to the podium ready to "lie for the Lord." Mormon doctrine approves lying as a way to get and keep converts. Mormon doctrine also allows testimony before heartfelt belief. So Romney can lie, and as soon as it is out of his mouth, he is supposed to feel that in his heart, it is true. Why no one will discuss how Mormon doctrine will influence his behavior is a mystery to me.

Read up on Romney's as governor--what a screwed-up job he did there-alienated about everyone in the Massachusetts state government, it seems. No wonder he chose not to run for re-election--he would've lost by a landslide!
