I wonder if Romney is so delusional that he thinks he became successful on his own.

Last edited Sun Jul 22, 2012, 11:49 AM - Edit history (1)

How could Romney of all people act like business people don't get help. Romney was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was brought up with the best of everything and had the opportunity to go to the finest schools. On the other hand, if anyone did it with less help, Obama did. He didn't have the same priviledges that Romney had. Almost no one has the advantages Romney had.

1. He thinks he got no help especially from the government.

Yet he is on the campaign trail begging for more help for the very wealthy. It doesn't make any sense. They are saying the government is too big, they don't want help they just want the government out of the way. Yet. they pay less in taxes than most people as a percent of their income So, what they are really asking for is more free stuff. And if you don't like that you are just jealous of their success.

Mitt Romney caught on "hidden camera" below is the U-tube video

It happens when the radio station takes a break.. he thinks he because he is off the air he is not being recorded and speaks freely in the room while off air...

listen to what he says and compare it to what Tricia Erickson says on this pod cast on how

There is a reason why Mitt Romney is Called a Flip-Flopper

He believes he can be all things to all people and that he will become a God and rule the new world order as instructed by the great profit and the Mormon Church... Listen to the pod cast of a former Mormon bishops daughter who spills the beans on Mormom Mitt and why you cannot believe a word that comes out of this mans mouth... http://67.36.84.226/crosstalk2/ct120118.mp3

She states He believes Mitt believes he will become a God and overthrow the Nations of the world. You must listen to this pod cast

And, that his goal was always to become president of the United States... He knew that to do this, he would have to get a governorship under his belt aside from becoming a senator... to do this in Massachusetts he promised the log cabin republicans that if they would support him and help him get elected, he would look the other way on same sex marriage. He was elected and was thus the father of gay marriage in America… that is, she claims he illegally institutionalized same sex marriage in Massachusetts and it seems he profited from it too... She says there is not one law legislated in the Massachusetts books to legalize gay marriage…

She says that there are more Mormons per capita area in government positions in Washington DC than any other religion… She says they have an employment agency in Washington DC to usher in Mormons into positions in the government there..



The Mormon Church believes that Mitt Romney will bring the kingdom of god if elected…

to learn more about the above windows media player audio link, follow this link. http://www.vcyamerica.org/blog/2012/01/18/the-mormon-church-vs-the-presidency

If these statements on this site http://2013patriot.wordpress.com/2012/05/ are true, Mitt is hiding his relationship with his big Money diners some of which have invested in the company that owns and controls many of the voting machines that will be tallying the votes cast in this up coming national election...

How can we allow the information not to be televised to the nation to inform the voters not to cast their vote on the voting machine and to use paper ballets? Will the major media stations air this info so as to protect the populous form election fraud being conducted by those controlling the machines that cannot be properly tested before the election or will this and all other elections be rigged and our votes not counted correctly?

Note the audio on the above U-tube video was not recorded very loud. To hear it you must have an audio amplifier on your computer from the sound card and turn up the volume... I have a desktop and feed the audio to an external audio amp and external speakers... I do not have a laptop so I do not know if when you turn up the volume on a lap top if you will be able to hear it well or not...

2. Deluded into thinking his birth was all the success he ever needed. Being born into privilege...
Sat Jul 21, 2012, 11:42 PM
Jul 2012

And never doing without gives the feeling since they live and breathe and exist in that realm, they deserve anything they get. They believe it is all owed to them by reason of birth, or family as they are so fond of saying.

The world belongs to them, as much as they can grab, and they don't like 'common people' trying to slow them down with nitpicky things like laws and regulations. They don't believe any of that applies to them, it's for the underlings. Working is for the peons. Oh, they may use different wrods, but that's what it boils down to.

Yes, he believes he did it all by just gracing the planet with his presence. JMHO of this kind of personality, like GWB.

5. The divine right of kings was surplanted by the Glorious revolution
Sun Jul 22, 2012, 07:20 AM
Jul 2012

The French revolution and the the American revolution and replaced by the divine right of the rich

A Deo rex, a rege lex

"The king is from God, the law from the king"

James I of England

If Rmoney has any Latin his motto would be:

A Deo dives, a dives lex

"The rich are from God, the law from the rich."

Probably poor Latin grammar but the best my ancient mind can do.

6. 'Dis-illusioned'? I think you mean 'delusional'
Sun Jul 22, 2012, 07:49 AM
Jul 2012

Someone who is disillusioned has lost an illusion they used to have - they are now more realistic. The rest of your post points to you meaning 'delusional' - someone who has beliefs that are clearly (to most other people) not true.

8. He is delusional enough to believe that he is on the path to becoming equal to god.

http://www.whatdomormonsbelieve.com/2008/09/what-do-mormons-believe-becoming-gods-and-ruling-planets/



95 And he makes them equal in power, and in might, and in dominion.

I hope that you will take a few things away from these verses. First, we are children of our Heavenly Father; therefore, there is a seed of divinity within us (Romans 8:16-17). Second, if we nourish that seed and live our lives according to the plan Christ and his prophets have outlined we are granted the opportunity to rule with Christ and his Father in their kingdoms. Third, being able to rule with Christ and the Father also entails that we will be made equal in power, might and dominion.

Now to answer your question with the foundation being laid, do we believe that we will become gods, ruling our own planets? We believe that through Christ all men and women can be made perfect as God and his son Jesus Christ are perfect. Nowhere in scripture does it explicitly say we will rule our own planets. Truth is, we don’t know exactly what will happen in heaven, except that we will continue growing and learning. We will just have to wait until after this life is over to find out what it means to become perfect like God and Jesus are perfect.






So the answer to your question is "Yes, he is delusional enough".

9. Of course he does.

If he had been born a crack baby and found in a trash bin he would be the same successful presidential candidate that he is now.

That's obvious isn't it?
