(8,545 posts)All young Mormon men have to knock on doors for a year or so trying to convert other people to their faith. Their missionary work can be in this country or in one of many other countries. I think That is one reason Romney is more concerned about Americas reputation in other countries than many Republicans

Like wise in mid eastern countries and Asian Countries. If you have ever lived in and around Utah you would understand what Romney is trying to do. His allegiance is to his Church and everything else comes second.

Romney is the only viable answer in a normal kind of election. But we have a foreign power tilting the balance.
We are under attack.
