MarginOfError Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) is this Hypocrisy happening or is this like one of these political cover-up's that only exist in our imagination? Hypocrisy and political cover-up are not mutually exclusive events :) Edited January 12, 2015 by MarginOfError Quote

Guest MormonGator Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 I love far right crazies! One of my best friends is a far right crazy!Yup. Most of my family and a few good friends are dyed in the wool liberals. We manage to get along just fine. My mother said it best. "I never thought I'd raise a libertarian" Quote
Bini Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 I get along just fine with my Republican and Conservative family, friends, and neighbours, as long as my opinion is not asked. Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 I get along just fine with my Republican and Conservative family, friends, and neighbours, as long as my opinion is not asked.I hear you. I love talking about politics with my friends who disagree with me. We always keep it civil and in the end, no one really cares. Diversity like that rules. Quote
Bini Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 I don't care much for debate. I'm not changing my beliefs and they're not changing theirs. I prefer conversation with like-minded people. Quote
The Folk Prophet Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 That's right, because Tea Party < Tye Dye Wearing Interpretive Dancers is exactly the same kind of silly as "Democrats are poo." They both read about the same to me. Quote
MarginOfError Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 They both read about the same to me. A lack of appreciation of the truest of arts is your own problem Quote
FunkyTown Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 You've almost got all of the far right crazies' talking points built in there. It would have been perfect if you had managed a mention of Benghazi somehow.Someone disagrees with my opinion on the internet? THAT'S UNPOSSIBLE. :mad: MarginOfError 1 Quote
Guest Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 One thing great about Mitt is he gets the LDS name out there. I know of people who literally knew nothing about our church but said something like, "Oh that guy who ran for president-he's a member, right?" Uhmm... Harry Reid is just as known as a Mormon as Romney is. The LDS name has been out there... with or without Romney. But you know, when I was Catholic, none of the Catholics I know ever made a big deal about any of the people running for President being "of our faith". In my opinion, a politician's religious affiliation is towards the bottom of the "consider this" rung. I mean, yeah, a lot of people did not vote for Romney because he was Mormon... but I doubt a lot of Mormons are going to vote for somebody who is, I don't know... Wiccan... Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Uhmm... Harry Reid is just as known as a Mormon as Romney is. The LDS name has been out there... with or without Romney. It is, but in America much more people pay attention to the presidential elections than the senatorial elections, especially those that are not in their state. I live in a state far, far away from Nevada and I assure you that more people know of Romney being LDS then who Harry Reid even is. Tragically, in America few people even know who their OWN senators and congressmen are. Edited January 12, 2015 by MormonGator Quote

PolarVortex Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 But you know, when I was Catholic, none of the Catholics I know ever made a big deal about any of the people running for President being "of our faith". They may be tempted in 2016. At the presidential level, the GOP is showing stunning diversity in race and religion. Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Brian Sandoval, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan, and Susana Martinez (I love her!) are all Catholics. Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz are Baptists. Scott Walker and Rick Perry are some evangelical nondenominational thing, and of course Mitt is LDS. Rand Paul and Donald Trump are Presbyterian. Ben Carson is Seventh-day Adventist. prisonchaplain 1 Quote

jerome1232 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 I liked Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney last election. Like I said I liked Mitt, but I get the criticism that this guy just can't seem to make up his mind! Quote
prisonchaplain Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Actually, when JFK ran for President it was a big deal...'cause he was the first. Reid may be a known LDS guy, but there is no doubt but that Romney raised curiosity in the minds of a lot of non-members. So, I can see why many members would be excited about the spotlight factor. Hey, I still remember when the AG (John Ashcroft) was AG... B) Uhmm... Harry Reid is just as known as a Mormon as Romney is. The LDS name has been out there... with or without Romney. But you know, when I was Catholic, none of the Catholics I know ever made a big deal about any of the people running for President being "of our faith". Palerider 1 Quote
Palerider Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 I hope he runs as well....not because I have decided to vote for him or not.....only that we need more candidates to throw their hat in the race. Love the debates. Quote
carlimac Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Well here is an interesting tidbit. Orrin Hatch was just recently made President pro tempore of the senate which means that he is 3rd in line for the presidency. Or in other words if a lightning strike takes out both Obama and Biden at the same time, Orrin Hatch would take over as president till another election took place. I am aware of this because he is in my daughter's ward and now comes to church with three federal agents. My husband and grandsons sat next to him- literally, 6 months ago and Senator Hatch was very nearly pelted with fruit snacks pitched by the 2 yr old. I wonder how the agents would react to that kind of assault? Palerider 1 Quote
Vort Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 That would be the Speaker of the House. As you say, the president pro tempore is third in line, not second. carlimac 1 Quote
