Mormons Call for Romney Fast It’s not just observers of Yom Kippur who are thinking about fasting this Wednesday. Mitt Romney’s Mormon supporters are hoping that some divine intervention will help the Republican’s struggling candidacy. A new chain email that is not officially endorsed by the church calls for Mormons to fast on Sept. 30 and is circulating among the faithful in Utah, California, Nevada, and Colorado. The author (whose name is redacted) hopes that by forgoing food and water for 24 hours, participants will bring special blessings to the Romney campaign in advance of the debates, which start Oct. 3. “I know that fasting and praying brings about miracles,” the email reads. Just a suggestion: index cards could also be helpful.
LMAO...

d. God is politically neutral and does not comment or contribute to political debate except in matters of moral importance (in which case the fast and pray effort was a complete waste of time)
Compared to what? This Sunday is Fast Sunday, so most LDS will be fasting anyway. The only difference is the mental effort to "direct" the intent of the fasting towards Romney's debate performance.
And I, for one, have full confidence that Romeny is a master debater, and the entire nation will see it next week.

Romney is a little thin skinned. Obama will attempt to provoke Romney to display his temper while remaining cool and collected. Hopefully it will work.
I was contributing to the collective effort towards Mitt when I realised it wasn't a call to fart for Romney...

a. The fasters and prayers are not righteous b. God is a Democrat c. God thinks Romney is an embarrassment and doesn't want him elected d. God is politically neutral and does not comment or contribute to political debate except in matters of moral importance (in which case the fast and pray effort was a complete waste of time)
e. One or several of the fasters had a masturbation problem. Their worthiness tainted the Fast and caused God to withdraw his magical powers in disgust.
