More Mitt Campaign Strategies

Post by _Pokatator »

I guess from this article we can soon expect a speech in the style of JFK from Mitt addressing his Mormonism.

Romney's sensitivity to his Mormon faith as a campaign issue is apparent throughout the plan.

It acknowledges that some view Mormonism as weird and lists ways Romney should defend his faith, from highlighting the way he has lived his life, rather than which church he attends, to acknowledging theological differences with mainline Christian denominations while refusing to be drawn into an extensive discussion of Mormon doctrine and practices. It also suggests Romney might soon need to address the issue head-on, perhaps as John F. Kennedy did in a 1960 speech amid concerns about his relationship to the Catholic Church.

The document appears to raise the possibility of Romney delivering such an address at George H.W. Bush's presidential library outside Houston, the same city where Kennedy gave his.

Enmity toward France, where Romney did his Mormon mission during college, is a recurring theme of the document. The European Union, it says at one point, wants to "drag America down to Europe's standards," adding: "That's where Hillary and Dems would take us. Hillary = France." The plan even envisions "First, not France" bumper stickers.

Just as Tom Cruise would have extreme difficulty speaking away the weirdness of scientology mitt is in a tough spot to do the same. Mormonsim, like scientology is a weird group of people first and a religion second.

You can explain away the rosary but magical underwear is a bit more difficult. don't bet on a kennedyesque speech. He thinks he has already given it.

Besides, the media is focused in on his mormonness. They arent going to let go.
