Romney's New Florida Ad: I'm A Conservative Businessman
Mitt Romney has a new ad out in Florida, in which the candidate talks about his experience as a a businessman and his ideas for how to fix the economy:
Taking this approach makes sense for Romney — John McCain has the national security experience, and Mike Huckabee is cornering the market for Christian conservatives. So as he did in Michigan, Romney is finding his niche: Managerial know-how.

It's less a question of experience than of timing. With global markets in dissarray, and the prospect of recession looming ever closer, voters are going to look for someone who can address their economic concerns. It's McCain's acknowledged blind-spot, and it ain't exactly the key strength of the folksy Baptist preacher, either.
The economy is rapidly eclipsing national security and values - and I can almost feel the Mittmentum.

"Conservative" businessmen got us in this mess, didn't they?

I think Mitt is in a much stronger position than people give him credit for, but one of his Achilles heel's during the Republican primaries will be that it'll be very easy (and somewhat accurate) to paint Mitt as a corporate downsizer. People say that he "looks" Presidential, but he also looks like your boss's boss who just laid off half your department and opened up a new call center in India.
Conclusion: GOP brokered convention.

Isn't it interesting that Mitt Romney says he is TOTALLY AGAINST POLYGAMY - yet he lives his life looking forward to an afterlife where he'll be a SUPER POLYGAMIST with his own planet and his own Goddess Wives.
Mormon men are taught that after death (and if they are righteous) they will live forever as GODS over THEIR OWN PLANET - having unlimited sexual relations with MULTIPLE GODDESS WIVES so as to populate their own planet.
How can Mitt Romney say he is against something he believes is one of the greatest rewards in the afterlife. DO YOU really want a PRESIDENT who disavows something in his earthly life that he covets and aspires to in the afterlife?
Are you aware that Mitt Romney has performed death oath rituals hundreds of times in which he has drawn his thumb across his throat from side to side as if he were slitting his own throat and another where he has drawn his thumb across his abdomen as if he were disemboweling himself?
I am a former Mormon. I graduated from BYU. I was married in the Wash, DC temple.
I vehemently believe in freedom of religion. However, I am concerned that someone who professes questionable beliefs and who has participated in cult-like rituals involving grisly death-oath might become our President.
This information is not widely available to the general public. Mormons profess - what goes on in the temple is "sacred, not secret." Well if they are so sacred and "not secret" then why was I asked to make death oaths swearing I would not divulge what I had seen and experienced in the temple?
Visit my blog at http://justicefreedom4all.blogspot.com/ to see video re-enactments of the actual temple rituals and interviews with other individuals who also experienced the Mormon Temple rituals.
After participating in these rituals myself, I could no longer hold the Mormon faith in my heart and in my mind. As I exited the Wash, DC Mormon temple after going through the rituals for the first time I was asked by other Mormon's who accompanied me what I thought about what I had seen and experienced.
My response was that if those ceremonies/teaching were indeed of God, then I would rather go to hell with non-Mormons.
I feel that this information needs to be disseminated immediately. Voters must have this "sacred, not secret" information so they can make their own decisions about whether a practicing Mormon would be their choice under all
circumstances of national security.
How meaningful will an oath of office be for someone who makes death oaths to their God in the name of their religion?
And what I find even more frightening - why is mainstream media treating these Mormon issues like the naked Emperor is marching by?
I can longer live in fear of the millions of Mormons who have taken the death oaths. Citizens of America have a right to the facts.
