Mitt Romney Explains How Jesus Will Reign for 1,000 Years When He Returns in Jerusalem & in Missouri

[avaistheone1]

Watch Mitt Romney get in a heated exchange with a radio host from a radio interview in 2008 about where Jesus will reign and rule over the Earth for 1,000 years -- in Jerusalem and Missouri. Romney displays deep familiarity with the thinking of a Mormon hermit-conspiracy theorist Cleon Skousen, who was also Glenn Beck's great inspiration.

In this stormy discussion Mitt Romney also airs his positions on abortion and the Mormon church.

1. What a cowardly asshole-

This runs like a parody of Mitt. This makes it clear that he is no more sincere about his faith than he is about his caring for the well-being of the American people. I should not be surprised. He is 100% for Mitt. I do have a problem with a Mormon as president-clearly, he is one in name only. He is an individual bullying hypersensitive asshole. This is how he would deal with other countries.

2. Holy COW! Angry White Man. So many damning quotes, but here's one: "I vetoed ANY bill

that was about 'choice'"

Let's let Mitt go back to any of his mansions and continue being a faithful steward of his church!

7. I'm being lazy, so I apologize for asking but...

what is the answer?

I am guessing communism.... boy, this has been a long day! lol

8. Nope. Adolf Hitler was fond of calling

his dictatorship the beginning of "the Thousand Year Reich."

4. I'm sure he's ten times nuttier than we imagine

The stealth candidate has kept most of his thoughts and beliefs hidden from the American public. I think we've barely scratched the surface with this guy.

9. 20 times. At least.

5. Seems like Mitt had one too many espressos before this interview. He's so hyper.

And by hyper, I mean comes off as a complete tool.

6. How dare that varlet

talk like that to His Mittstership.

11. I've been thinking of this clip all day

Saw it last night on Digby and can't get it out of mind. It is truly, truly frightening that a rabid religious nutcase like Romney could get
so close to the presidency. It's not even just the level of lunatic ignorance, but Mitt's absolute self-rightgous fury in defending
his creationist cult against any kind of examination, even here where the guy seems semi on the same ship of brainwashed babble for brains as Mitt.

If this were not so scary, yes it would be funny.
