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 America’s reputation in other countries than many Republicans

You run for office - you have to knock on doors and you have to talk to all kinds of people.

Maybe that is just the religion in general. I'm in Salt Lake and we are known for having a good, well educated work force. I have lots of gripes with Mormons, missionary work being the greatest, but they do have some good qualities.

He didn't win, but he was great at campaigning - and I think it was because he was so comfortable talking to all kinds of people.

necessarily. They speak up in church services (give their testimony) from a young age.

I have known and loved Mormons. Not many, but some.

To give us oil to use now, in order to explain the age of Earth.

Me: Okay, I'm going back inside and shutting the door. Have a nice day.

Mitt knows how this game is played,he was at one time a Mormon Missionary Host in Mass. The Mormon Missionary people have had issues in Russia as well as other East European Countries in recent years.


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.

He's counting on Russia to save his ass again.

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.
