Well its Started, The C word has entered the Presidential

[_Shulem]

Infymus,

Actually, the best question to ask Romney is if he believes the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3 found in the Book of Abraham are true and correct. Ask Romney if the Egyptian god (Anubis) really is a slave? And how do Mormons today feel about calling a god of another religion a mere slave? Where is the apology?

The Mormon church will one day pay a great price for the lies it has spread and fostered. The leaders of this church are truly full of deceit. They are quilty of maintaining slander against the Egyptian religion.

It wouldn't bother me if Abubis caused the Salt Lake City temple to crumble in an earthquake. Egypt will be vindicated!

I would take Mitt Romney over Perry any day.

Romney is relatively humble about his religion, maybe even a little embarrassed by it. Whatever he truly believes, he knows the weirdness and history of Mormonism is a liability to his candidacy.

Perry is an arrogant blowhard asswipe with no self awareness of what he looks like. He is GWB on dumb-roids and proud of it!

I will agree with you. I'd vote for Romney before Perry.

Okay. I am not particularly fond of Mitt Romney as a candidate, but Rick Perry is right wing bat$h!t crazy and he scares the he!! out of me.

As some in the press have opined, Perry is GWB on steroids. So for my part, I hope the cult calling backfires on him and his campaign.

If I have to live in a country where a Republican is entrusted with the nuclear codes, I would rather it be moderate Republican who wears garments than an Armegedddon-anticipating, Evangelical, Day of Prayer fixes everything, nut job.

so you're just another garden variety liberal. But, you're safe here. You will be cheered no matter how ridiculous your statements are. Good for you, I say.

Oh I agree, Rick is just another Texan - and all the republicans are further out of their element due to the Tea Party. I've been watching it pretty carefully this year and I've become disillusioned with the whole thing. Neither Republicans nor the Democrats have anything in our best interests. Seeing smug Boehner opposing Obama simply because he and the Tea party demand it just urks me, and Obama isn't innocent in all of this either.

It is time to find a solution outside of Washington and the Occupy Wall Street Protest that is spreading really has my interest piqued. Change needs to happen and it isn't going to come from the Rep or Democrat parties or Washington. Interesting that when the Tea Party started, it was called a peaceful protest. The Tea Party is calling the Occupy Wall Street Protest a Mob.

I am the 99%.

I've been laid off 6 times in 10 years. Since 2008, I've been out of work 20 months total. The economy was so bad, nobody was hiring, even if you had a professional resume like mine. I've lost over 150k due to layoffs and the housing burst. I paid $100k more for my house than it was worth due to hyperinflation. I've watched my lifetime savings dwindle to where I will work past 70 years. I know what within another year, our savings will be depleted - everything I have worked for and saved for for 10 years will be gone. I constantly worry if I will have a job next month. We save to pay high cost of health care bills, deductibles and denials. We save for layoffs and the ever rising cost of food, gas and utilities. I watch the value of everything around me go down, but I watch them raise our taxes as much as $1000 per year - forcing us to protest. It is time for change, NOW. It won't be much longer before even white collar workers like myself will be out in the streets marching on Washington and Wall Street.

I think the nation is heading towards a serious crisis and those in power right now couldn't give two craps. They create laws and tax breaks for them, and they in turn stuff their back pockets with cash. It won't be long before these protests grow to where Congress can no longer sit and squabble, posture and act like school children.

I really don't give a damn about the Presidential race because as so eloquently sung by the Who... "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss!"

What a pity Pa Pa blew his brains out on this board.

Otherwise he could tell Infymus that he doesn't deserve America. Or something.

so you're just another garden variety liberal. But, you're safe here. You will be cheered no matter how ridiculous your statements are. Good for you, I say.

I come from a long line of Mormons, many of whom were right of the John Birch Society, and have much to atone for on this Earth in terms of the political sins of my fathers.

If you had lived overseas during the Bush administration as I did, and seen firsthand how the attitude towards America and Americans suffered, even among our allies and "friends", under the arrogant idiocy of that man and his administration, you would not say that my statements were ridiculous.

It could take this country and many parts of the world 20 years to recover for what GWB and the Republicans did during his administration. If you had the slightest inkling of the damage done -- well enough said.

Nope, no "garden variety" liberal here. If someone like you knew how liberal I really am relative to most Mormons and Evangelicals, and the kinds of things I do to make amends and to try and bring balance into the world for the political wrongs that religion and my forbearers have committed, they would probably not sleep well tonight.

Interesting how we've been in this crisis for 3 years or so, and no one thought about staging a good old fashioned protest until some hippies decided to crash Wall Street.

Times are dire, Infymus. Few are insulated enough to be able to ignore it. Why, things are so bad, nearly all of the talks in GC were about the crisis and what to do about it... Oh wait. No, they weren't. I guess some people really are insulated enough to be able to ignore it.
