Barack Obama, what a joke! He's fake. He's not even "black"
he just says that to be electible. What a lie...and you accuse Mitt?

To Chris Corwin:
Excuse me? You have no idea what I read or don't read. You have now idea what kind of person I am, my current church calling or the extent to which I read or understand or teach the scriptures.
You are demeaning calling him "Mittens". You use the immature, cutesy little demeaning terms such as Republicrats and DemoRats to describe people. You want to quote prophets and scriptures, yet I do not think you understand them (or much else) properly.
I do not trust you to know what you are talking about.

As a registered Democrat | 8:21 p.m. Aug. 14, 2008
I'm disappointed in this. Honestly, can't they think of better things
to be doing with their time than knock a possibly-but-probably-not VP candidate?
With all the talk McCain is doing against Obama...and the fact that the Dems
still need to campaign for a win in November. I'm completely bewildered as
to why the Dems really bothered. If any Dem leaders are reading: Keep your eye
on the ball!
The Napalm of Your Hand | 8:31 p.m. Aug. 14, 2008
To Registered Democrat: This defoliating practice is known as the politics of
personal destruction made popular and necessary by Bill Clinton all the while he
publicly decried its useage.
Choose between Two | 8:37 p.m. Aug. 14, 2008
Glenda, a vote for anyone other than the party nominee is a wasted vote and, in
this case, a vote for Obama, or whoever they hoist up the flagpole.

Romney uses the church to get votes?
Like him or not, the man is a brilliant businessman... Even he can do the math and see that a million or two LDS church votes aren't nearly enough.
Plus it's the electoral college that actually elects the president.
Liar? Funny... Like him or not, the man is one of the foremost leading moral figures in American Politics at this time.
Those who whine about Romney trying to solely get the LDS vote, are uneducated and apparently just thinking in an anti-LDS manner...
Politics are interesting. They seem to bring out the worst in people, when in reality, our nation is drifting apart because of the biased attitudes of individuals are unaccepting of different points of view.
Stock up on your food storage. Get out of debt...
It's going to be a bumpy ride!

I am ashamed by the unprofessional journalism that is allowed to enter to this
newspaper. Yes, it is a right-winged newspaper, but this sounds more like
commentary by political pundits than actual journalism. I guess it is what
Deseret News or the journalist itself feels that is necessary to sell papers.
Seen the video several times | 10:19 p.m. Aug. 14, 2008
John Pack Lambert,
"Where and when did Romney say this alleged line about God not having spoken to man since Moses, and what is the fuller context of what he said."
Romney was asked by a Boston News Station, "Should God speak to you and ask you to do something that might be in conflict with your duties as president or should he speak to your Prophet who would speak to you - how would you make that decision, how would you handle that?�
Mitt Romney answered by saying "I don't recall God speaking to me. I don't know that he has spoken to anyone since Moses and the bush or perhaps some others."
As a Mormon I do RECALL God speaking to the Prophet Joseph Smith, and to Latter-day Prophets.
"Just because you can lift a set of words out of someone's text does not mean that they are saying what you think."
That's exactly what he said and you can see him saying it. I have watched the video several times and get upset with the APOSTATE everytime I .
"We need context not accusations."
You should already know. If you don't you don't need context.

You belittle prayer and gospel | 10:45 p.m. Aug. 14, 2008
INDIANA,
"As one LDS rm to another, don't be so disgustingly condescending. I researched him extensively before I decided to work for him."
It's you who is being condescending and calling him disgusting and accusing him of accepting vile lies for pointing out Romney's fundamental character flaws.
"I found a generous man that sent kids on missions, was the first to shovel walks for the elderly, sent kids to college and is actually all the the Gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us we should be."
This is coming from someone who calls someone who he has never met disgusting and vile based on posts on a message board. That's really trustworthy!
"Yes, I have researched him a great deal. What I found is alot of people are extremely jealous and threatened enough lie about him and cut films to justify themselves... get a clue, say a prayer brother"
You mock the purpose of prayer. All I can really say is Chris (and I disagree with most of us what he has said) is more decent of a person than you will ever be since he isn't going around telling people that disagree with him to pray in a sarcastic manner.

Re: Seen the video | 10:54 p.m. Aug. 14, 2008
He Buddy,
I haven't seen the video, but if your quote accurately recounts it he said, "and the bush or perhaps some others".
Sounds to me like he's leaving that open to other prohpets like Isaiah, Samuel, Joseph Smith etc etc.
Not sure what you're so upset about. Is he apostate for not using that moment as a missionary moment to give witness of Joseph Smith? Just because he doesn't share his personal testimony with some liberal reporter (who asks that type of question anyway?) trying to cast Mitt as someone at the loony bin doesn't mean Mitt doesn't believe it happened. Aren't we taught to not cast our pearls to the swine?
Just a thought.

Did God talk to Brother Joseph? | 10:55 p.m. Aug. 14, 2008
Indiana,
"Excuse me? You have no idea what I read or don't read. You have now idea what kind of person I am, my current church calling or the extent to which I read or understand or teach the scriptures."
Nor do you know what kind of person he is, nor his current Church calling or extent to which he reads, understands or teaches the scriptures yet you are quick to condemn him. So I suggest you take the beam out of your own eye before trying to deal with the peck in his eye.
"You want to quote prophets and scriptures, yet I do not think you understand them (or much else) properly."
You just accused him of not knowing anything about you or about your knowledge yet think you know about his knowledge. You are truly acting like a hypocrite regardless of your calling which has no absolutely no bearing since even Apostles have been excommunicated.
"I do not trust you to know what you are talking about."
I don't trust either of you unless you tell us you are Thomas S. Monson. Until then I think I will believe that God talked to Joseph Smith. Will you?

The DNC is doing a typical trash the guy who will do the most damage to their
guys chances. Having Barney Frank as a point man on this is a laugher. Frank
has become a career politician who has done little to in Washington. This is
why most people hate politics because the ones who are screaming the loudest are
the ones who have done the least with their opportunities. At least Romney has
made an impact on things in his life.
Romney as VP? | 11:21 p.m. Aug. 14, 2008
Hey all you liberals and haters of all things conservative.
You gotta' admit that Romney's business skills and keen understanding of the economy wouldn't be a bad thing for a VP to have.
Come on, come on, I know you can say it if you want to......just say "Romney understands economics".
There, that didn't hurt, now did it!
Ha!

This story is completely biased. The website gives the negatives on 8 potential
GOP VP candidates but the Deseret News and SL Trib both only focus on the
website's treatment of Romney, thereby implying that the rest of the world
is taking him seriously. It isn't. He is considered a flip-flopping ball
of fluff in 49 states and only considered an asset to the GOP ticket in the one
state his co-religionists live in. Go look up the site and see for yourselves.
And it isn't necessarily anti-Mormon bias that he has such a low
rating---do you know where he stands on ANYTHING? If you do, you should tell
him, because he doesn't have any idea.
MoJules | 12:07 a.m. Aug. 15, 2008
I guess that the Democrats are so desperate that they have to go after the #2
choice, or prospect. The Republicans don't need to do that, they only have
to think about Obama and what a disaster he would be. Obama was able to
organize his community, Romney was able to organize an Olympics that was in
trouble and also a state.

I'm not going to be prejudiced and denounce all of these criminal
politicians trying to get in contol of America. Vote Ron Paul, the only man
looking out for america and the american people. America needs an upset in the
political games being passed around as if they owned us. We american citizens
need representaion, not suppression and scorn. America needs leadership for
America and the american people and someone that is not a part of the
established power brokers that have put america in its downward spiral of a
disfunctional nation. The voters and citizens of america must stand together and
denounce all the corporate control or our lives by an upset victory for anyone
that does not belong to the Repulican or Democratic parties. America needs
change in leadership and policy of america and for america. McCain, Obama, and
even the saintly Mitt Romney, the criminal of criminals, are bad for america and
the american people. We need leadrship, not lies and deceit, in government that
has been oppressive and discriminatory against the american citizens.

I have mixed feelings about Mitt running as VP, when I TOTALLY wish we had him
running for PRES. and I feel bad to think of his light being kept under a bushel
by McCain, though when I think of "Obama" being pres. I shudder in
fear for our country!!!
I think Mitt has the experience,integrity and foresight along with the wisdom and get it done attitude to save our nation, while also helping the whole world. I HOPE and PRAY that if he is willing to sacrifice himself to try to save our economy etc, that McCain , the voters and the politicians will let him do the work that needs to be done and not be against him because of his religion or their prejudice. He came to BETTER stands when he got better insight on abortion and tried to get gays to be content with legal unions instead of corrupting marriage, but is evil ever willing to be satisfied?
May God bless us all to see the truth among the lies and distortions, and do the best we can in our own circles of influence. GO MITT!!

I am a Mormon (active) and a conservative (very) and Romney does change his
philosophical position more often than I change my socks. He wants power and
that is enough to knock him out of my choices.
! | 8:17 a.m. Aug. 15, 2008
The reason these democrats attacked Romney is because they DO want him to run
with McCain. With that ticket there is no way they will win the presidency.
The reverse psychology works well with you people.

About Mitt's words | 8:24 a.m. Aug. 15, 2008
OH please! I heard the actual words Mitt said abut Moses. It seems some people
just stopped listening after Moses and didn't hear the complete statement
which goes: �I don't recall God speaking to me. I
don't know that he has spoken to anyone since Moses and the bush or perhaps
some others."
Did you read the "some others?" Sheesh, and I'm not even LDS which could obviously refer to J.S. As far as personal revelation, I would hardly consider that GOD talking, when the context refers...face to face. Again, sheesh. And yes, I'm voting for Mitt if given the v.p. nod.
Next up will be a mention of Mitt's polygamous ancestors and no mention that Obama is the product of polygamy.

You guys need to get a better hobby. Between playing "Who's the Better
Mormon" with Chris & company or bashing based on religion, I can still
see that every line of comment in the Des News always degenerates into a fight
over the Church, and someone's interpretation of it.
For those of us members living outside Utah, this is getting embarassing. Please, people, try to stay focussed on something other than bashing the Church, other members, or non-members. How about actually discussing an issue on its merits for once?
What we need is a None of the Above option on the ballot. Should that one win, the parties would be required to give us better candidates until there was actually someone worth voting for. There's a campaign I'd be willing to back 100%.

Re: Baptist | 9:24 a.m. Aug. 15, 2008
I have never understood a religion that encourages its members to be prejudice.
Why is it o.k. for so-called "Christians" to refuse to vote for Romney
just because he's a Mormon (follower of Christ)? If they were smart,
they'd turn off their blinders and realize that there is more in common
there than they're willing to admit. I can't believe the hipocrisy in
our society, a world consumed with fighting prejudice, except if they're a
Mormon. Who gave the Evangelicals such a pull in the Republican party anyway?
This just boggles my mind. I've lived in the Bible belt and the Midwest
and found that it would do them some good to consider why their pastors fight so
vehemently against the Mormons--they might actually like them! Oh, the horror!

and it's quite easy for any level headed indivdual to see right through the
bunk.
The dude changed his opinion on abortion one time. A flip, no flop. Sure he pandered to the gay rights crowd (Never once supported gay marriage mind you)when he was run'n for Gov of Massachusetts, but how the hell was he supposed to win there any other way. The point is, he did a fantastic job shoring up that Lib infested state
As for 2008, give me 4 years of Obama. That guy is more dangerous than Multiple Personality Disorder wielding a knife, but we may need 4 years of Carter to wake this naive country up to elect another Reagan. Of course, the Left and the foolish Right won't admit it, but our economy would be turned into a gold mine under Mitt's hand
As for this Chris Corwin, the Joseph Smith comment sent me right to my carpet in a spell of uncontrollable laughter. The worlds full of all kinds

So, what exactly is the news value of this article except to elicit sympathy
from the largely pro-Mitt readers of this paper?
Of course the Dems are going to criticize Romney (they've also been criticizing other potential VPs). It's not as if Romney and other Repubs don't do the exact same thing.
In this case, Romney largely deserves the critcism he's getting. For the record, he's a pathological flip-flopper who seems to lack some core political convictions, and his record in his home state was less than impressive. Sounds like Obama, come to think of it.
Support Romney for VP if you want. But bear in mind that he's, well, a POLITICIAN. He's not the greatest thing since sliced bread. He's not above criticism. Sainthood hasn't been bestowed yet. And don't get overly sensitive like a little child if your candidate gets mud thrown at him. It comes with the territory.

If all the republicans on this board can not see by now how the Religious Right
will treat all Mormon candidates you are blind.
Mitt fell victim to the Radical Christian Right, if the Christian Right ever took real power I am not sure how long we Mormons would survive.
It was not Jews or Muslims that were burning down homestead in Missouri, Ohio or Illinois. Sadly so called Christian feel they can force their beliefs on others, and as history has taught us they quickly draw the sword when met with resistance.
In our lovely Deseret we call ourselves Republicans but the Party uses us for our block of votes. The GOP just can not fathom the thought of a MORMON President!

Perhaps they need to get Jason Chaffetz's democrat competition to speak
against Mitt Romney.
This is the 1st time I think I have read a democrat say he has the same politics as Jesus. Would Jesus vote for the democrats. perhaps he is just trying to sell his new book.
Vote for Jason Chaffetz, and McCain. At least they aren't telling you to vote for them because, WWJD.

Romney did not say God has not spoken to man. He said he does not know that God
has spoken WITH a man, in other words a conversation. The only record of him
even speaking is at Jesus' baptism and the first vision. But in neither

some of his quotes next time.
