5. Someone Correct Me If I'm Wrong

From what I've been reading it's perfectly okay and proper for Mormons to lie to non-Mormons to get their way. So anything out of the mouths of the Romneys should be looked upon as total fabrication. Seriously, Mitt spent many years and a lot of time in the primaries running for president for some one who didn't really want the office. I think the US electorate came down pretty firmly on if they believed he "would be so good for the country."

I believe Mitt wanted the title, but he didn't want the job. I can only imagine his anxiety attack on Nov. 7th if he had won. His aides would have been prying him out of the fetal position.

The only person who would have been celebrating is Ann. Talk about a person who felt entitled and wanted a new, prestigious address. I'm sure she did push Mitt to run. She had visions of state dinners in her head.

Now, she's just another very rich person in the US with no real political connections. She'll just have to use all that money to buy politicians the good old fashioned way.
