Yeah, there's nothing in the world more worthy of your fast than Brother Romney. No homeless, no sick, no starving, no diseased....

Let us hope that our brethren and sistren in the Gospel will stay home on Election Day and devote themselves 100% to fasting and prayer for Brother Mitt.

...I am asking you to join me and my family on Sunday Sept. 30 by fasting and praying for Mitt Romney.

That he will be blessed in the debates, which will be held Oct. 3rd.

I know that seems like such a small thing but I believe "from small things, great things can come about". I know that fasting and praying brings about miracles....

Is this an implicit acknoweldgement that it would take a miracle for Romney to do well in the debates?

They are just lazy asses. Let's fast for Romney so he can start taking away the funding of programs geared towards those lazy peeps.

Here is my actual reply to my family member:

"I think I'll have to pass. In fact, I think I'll take my family to brunch Sunday morning instead."
