I completely agree, it will be in play, but not because of logic or good judgement. Instead it will be the same propaganda that you are throwing out there. But then, all the anti-mormon christians completely ignore their own weird religious beliefs that are actually very similar to mormons...

So by that (lack of) logic, anyone who's great grandfather owned slaves in the 1800s should be excluded from the presidency because he must be a racist who advocates slavery. If you are familiar at all with religion in America, almost all churches were segregated in the 70s and generally...

AK, we have had presidents in this country from all sorts of religious affiliations. You would probably argue that JFK was a great president. He was a catholic and at the time "nobody would ever vote for a catholic". Anything you can dig up about mormons, you'll find the same throughout the...

Your interpretation of that statement it would seem. He didn't say the clothing fends off evil, but that it acts as a reminder to the wearer of commitment to god, and strengthens to wearer to fend off (or resist) evil. Like I said, it is really easy to try to twist it into some crazy cult...

You didn't really counter anything I said. As usual, the propaganda using words like racism and magic underwear, sounds much worse to people than the reality. It would be nice if one day in America we wouldn't have to try to manipulate people though this type of garbage. "Romney is a...

Only the party fringe attacked the birther stuff or the muslim stuff. Actually, it could be argued that Obama's church attacked itself. They were using actual statements in full context from his current Pastor that were exclaimed during the previous months. And his Pastor liked to release...

Are you just saying that as a guess, or are you familiar with the current relationship between north and south Korea and have formed an objective opinion. I ask because I think it is a bit crazy how little press the Korean situation gets compared to the middle east. When was the last time...

:D

This is evidenced by the fact that in '08 Rush was bent on stopping McCain from getting the nomination. Epic Fail!! Now in '12 he was bent on stopping Romney, until this week after Romney was the first guy ever to win both of first two states in an open primary, and polls showed him with a...

Yep, and I condemn those scare tactics and conspiracy theories as well. A common line of rhetoric coming from the right is that Obama is deliberately trying to ruin America. IMO, that is the most ridiculous idea I've every heard, and discredits the intellect and motives of anyone who says...

I'm not disagreeing with you... I just wasn't that familiar with him before. Now I am, and the view isn't pretty.

That onus might be too much for Romney. Most people aren't like you. They don't have your understanding, and even if they did, they aren't open minded. That is why I've lost a ton of respect for Newt. Scare tactics are tools of the weak. I always thought that he was intelligent, but IMO...

Unfortunately, only those of us who understand accounting, capitalism, and markets could be influenced fairly. We are the minority. The rest respond to fear mongering and propaganda. But I'm operating under one main assumption, that if someone is going to pay to put together a 30-minute...

Politics does strange things to people and their views of the world. I have group of relatives who all ended up being teachers for public schools. Every one of these relatives lives in a small community that is GOP red to the core. They are all militant pro-life, anti-gay, pro second...

LOL, you can't make that argument and call him "Mittens". The Bain issue is portraying him as a ruthless cutthroat corporate raider. The name Mittens brings images of a cuddly little kitten with white paws.

My bad, I forgot that RCG was the OP... but still

Hey Mav and RCG... can you take your debate into a chat room? Not to be rude, but you've just destroyed what was a pretty decent debate.

Well, I think that is a perception issue. It has already been established that their initial focus was venture capital. They moved into LBO later when Romney saw opportunities to restructure companies "the Bain Way" to create a stronger organization and more value. The Bain & Co strategy...

Re: the op As I understand it, sexual relations outside of marriage are grounds for excommunication in the mormon church, which this woman would obviously be guilty of. Also, after checking into it, in the mormon church it is standard practice for two men from the woman's congregation to be...

So, if I understand you correctly... You are equating criticism of Obama's agenda, policies, and the economy with outright demagoguery and anti-religious propaganda, and then suggesting they are the same thing and that turn-about is fair play?
