48. Forget all this Mormon stuff
Sun Aug 5, 2012, 03:13 PM
Aug 2012

They get a shit load of money from Romney - 10% or not - and would not cut off their cash cow. He also made a lot of those boys rich out there with Olympic contracts (how much graft was that). And he would have done their bidding as Gov of Mass. The Mormons have great ambition to get into that White House. They have infiltrated many big, big businesses in this country and you can't rise up the ladder in them if you are not Mormon. Someone in Bain, I suspect, did not like him or didn't get promotions, etc. but was in a position to see and handle Mitt's finances.

They're getting him back for claiming he couldn't tithe because he had no income... rfranklin Aug 2012 #1
"Mitt cheated his church" KurtNYC Aug 2012 #3
i would make it harder for him to become a high official in the church CreekDog Aug 2012 #37
it wouldn't be God to whom Mitt would owe an explanation if if he did cheat the church, Raster Aug 2012 #45
I think that's one of the reasons. He must be dmr Aug 2012 #18
didn't he only show 7% tithe in 2010? Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2012 #41

Reid also has proclaimed very confidently that Romney is worth "a lot more" than $250 million aint_no_life_nowhere Aug 2012 #4

Wow! That was fast! I was just in the process of reporting him... reACTIONary Aug 2012 #12
What I don't get is that, if he is hiding money, it's not going to show up on the tax forms. enough Aug 2012 #6
He had Bain Capital funds set up offshore. LiberalFighter Aug 2012 #11
He may not have hid it from the IRS, just from his church CreekDog Aug 2012 #38
The odds favor this as Bain leans toward LDS HereSince1628 Aug 2012 #8
Are they of the belief that if they can get a strong contender for ruler of a planet knocked out LiberalFighter Aug 2012 #13
There is a claim that there is a Mormon Mafia, that seeks control of governments HereSince1628 Aug 2012 #15

Being as Harry is not politically popular customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #17
How do we know he's not politically popular with the church? dmr Aug 2012 #19
uummmmmmm Cause he ain't a Republican?? kooljerk666 Aug 2012 #22
Harry and Mitt are both Temple Mormons, the inner circle, secretive elites who those temples are braddy Aug 2012 #29
While I dispute your 85% figure customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #49
It is that hard to become a Temple Mormon elite, for one it REQUIRES that 10% of your income goes to braddy Aug 2012 #55
I didn't say it wasn't difficult customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #70
Do you have a point to make, and facts to submit? Or is this just Mormon stuff? braddy Aug 2012 #71
I'm not a Mormon customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #74
isn't the Bain executive team all LDS? remember this discrimination lawsuit reported in April... nashville_brook Aug 2012 #23
I have heard some things that Mormonism may take a hit from Romney agentS Aug 2012 #24
That is my take, as well. cr8tvlde Aug 2012 #25
The Holy Mormon Prophet gave his approval for Mitt's presidential run in a private meeting in 2005. braddy Aug 2012 #27
How much did Romney pay him? agentS Aug 2012 #33
Mormonism is a business. braddy Aug 2012 #51
Source?? BSUbluNorange Aug 2012 #56
Source for what? braddy Aug 2012 #58
That President Thomas S. Monson approved of Romney BSUbluNorange Aug 2012 #59
You mean if Mitt sought audience with the Prophet in 2005 to present his desire to run for braddy Aug 2012 #60
No, I think I misunderstood what you were trying to say BSUbluNorange Aug 2012 #62
I posted this " Romney sought & recieved approval from the Holy Prophet in 2005 to run for President braddy Aug 2012 #63
Thanks for the clarification BSUbluNorange Aug 2012 #65
It wasn't clarification, it was proving the statement that Romney sought and recieved the permission braddy Aug 2012 #66
Did he need permission? BSUbluNorange Aug 2012 #67
Evidently Bishop Romney did, the Romneys are Mormon Royalty, all things comply with the Prophet. braddy Aug 2012 #68
Nothing could be further from the truth customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #50
There are actually 400,000 mormons voting for Obama. BSUbluNorange Aug 2012 #57
Yes, and there are black people voting for Romney customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #69

How far should you trust Mormons? shanen Aug 2012 #30
The answer is.. davidpdx Aug 2012 #34
While I doubt that Reid takes orders customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #53
If this is true there would be a bit of irony in the whole thing davidpdx Aug 2012 #35
I believe Harry Reid! Kteachums Aug 2012 #39
'Doctoring' tax returns is a felony. ancianita Aug 2012 #40
Another take I read yesterday was that Reid had nothing at stake. He is upside down Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2012 #43
voila Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2012 #44
What I don't get is...wouldn't it be pretty easy for Robme to figure out who talked Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2012 #42
