I remember many times when President Hickley said he felt our prayers for him and was grateful for them. And I'm sure he (they all) spend many hours praying for us. Don't we owe that to a person who sacrifices so much of himself for us.

It is refreshing in this life to find people of such high character and determination to do what is right. President Hinckley was a wonderful man, prophet and example. Mitt Romney is also a man of high character and we wish him the very best in his political ambitions. Our country could use some fixing up!!!!!!

I don't know if the Mitt Romney quote is correctly quoted, but I agree that if Mitt could be as eloquent as our beloved Prophet, he would have an easier time...or perhaps be more voraciously misquoted! Remember that President Hinckley said that it is by the lives of our members that the Church is to be known. So if we want to support Mitt, or each other, for that matter, we have to be aware of what kind of lives we are living. President Hinckley always noticed and expected the best in others, and encouraged us to give each other the benefit of the doubt. That's what I do when I read or hear negative about Mitt Romney. Because I already know what kind of life he has lead. He has my vote because of that, and nothing else.

I was disappointed to hear on the news that Jon Huntsman Jr. sent his condolences on Sunday from Florida where he was campaigning for John McCain to beat Mitt Romney. This was the same Huntsman who recently signed on to a bogus global warming initiative, who went back on his campaign promise to help stop illegal immigration, and who supported the defeated voucher proposition. I am ashamed that I was a volunteer in his campaign for governor. What a slimy contrast he presents with Mitt Romney and Pres. Hinckley. I'll bet his dad is secretly embarassed by the vain ambitions of his son.

Ouu love and gratitude to President Hinckley and his family, I know he will continue to work from above in the building of Zion like all the prophets and leaders,as we follow their teachings obeing Our Heavenly Father's commandments,principles and ordenances of the gospel, we'll show our real gratitude to our dear Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley and make him smile,with the assurance that we will do the same with our next President and Prophet,we will continue to be a good example,and each one of us will follow our amazing Plan of Salvation.With humility my thanks and prayers always to him and his family for their sacrifices.

President Hinckley was and is a wonderful man, a choice spirit of our father in heaven. How eloquent and natural he is.
Mitt Romney is not as eloquent, but he tries and is a good man. Many of us think things we don't quite know how to express. It is true that understanding and agreement must come to all the people who listen to Mitt. He says things the way they will accept and understand. Don't be so critical until you walk in his shoes.

I dont get it!!! | 8:09 p.m. Jan. 30, 2008

He told Mitt that 'It would be a great experience whether you win or you lose'??? I dont get it............. Shouldnt the Prophet KNOW the answer to this in the first place?? Isnt the Prophet a seer?? Which of course brings up a question before everyone on here tells me WHY he doesnt know such things. If a Prophet doesnt know whats going to happen, which seems to be all of them in the past, why are they a Prophet???

To: I dont get it!!!

You're right. You don't get it.

If God doesn't tell us everything that's going to happen, but knows it, is he still God? I should say so.

Sadie | 11:35 p.m. Jan. 30, 2008

I don't get it!!! This is for you. You sound just miserable..had to get that over with first! Yes...
President Hinckley was a seer and a prophet, and knew many more things than you and I do. But he never really got into telling people how to vote or which political party to join. He instead, told people to vote the way they choose, and encouraged them to think well about the leaders they wanted, and who was the best for our government. The advice ...it will be a good experience ,is very true. All the candidates have mentioned how much they have learned from running for president. We do not have to win to learn something do we?
