Mormon Week... with our leading man Mitt Romney!!!

http://www.newsweek.com/id/41889

I'm going to talk about the political issues here. Well first of all, it took me forever to figure out what LDS stands for (Later-day saints, for everyone else that is as confused as I was). I'll quote what interest me and talk about it. Well in the beginning the reporter speaks of how he went to the church that used to be the mormon church that Romney went to when until he was 10. When the reporter asked Romney about it, he replied with "Oh yeah, I don't know where that is." Why would Romney lie about. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me so why is he denying it. Something sounds fishy to me and makes my support for him lower. I know he doesn't want to talk about religion but he does not have to lie about it. Like the reporter said, "Nothing is more politically vexing or personally crucial for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney than the story of his faith. Romney really is promoting himself as a business man. I don't blame him. President Bush relies on faith to guide him and look where that has brought us. Next, "only 45 percent of registered Iowa Republicans say America is ready for a Mormon president." That really sucks how low that is. His religion has nothing to do with his presidency and no religion test is needed to be the president. I wish people would read more and better educate themselves on these topics. Regardless, Romney appears to be a "glossy and robotic candidate who will say anything to get elected and believes nothing in his heart." That is so harsh. Romney may have flip-flopped his sides before but that quote is still unfair. He is only acting that way because he does not want to talk about his religion. Can't we respect the guys decision? Not according to Kirk Jowers, he believes, "If you choose not to talk about the church and focus solely on Romney's business and political abilities, you deny the public an opportunity to know him as intimately as the public demands of its front runners." Yeah i see that but it is not anyone's business what you do in your private life. Clinton should of said none of your business when Monica blew him. Who cares? She wanted to do and no one forced her. I just hate how much reporters are making Romney talk about Mormonism. "Romney made clear that questions about his faith were out of bounds, and from the start, his faith was all anyone wanted to talk about." I couldn't of said that better. Maybe its all this talk of his religion that makes him appear flip-floppy from being a "social moderate to win election in liberal Massachusetts," to be a "social conservative to be viable in the primary race." I do agree with the article though and I think he changed his position to be better suit his target audience which is something we don't want in a future president. I didn't care when he did not talk about his religion but i do care that he is changing his political stand point. The last thing we need is a wishy washy president.
