SURELY A MORMON CANNOT BE PRESIDENT

By David Shurtleff (Not a Mormon)

Heliumites, bloggers, Political Scientists.....lend me your eyes. I come to criticize Mitt Romney. The evil that men do is highlighted by the media. The good is often buried under labels......so let it be with Romney.

The Media has touted that Romney is a Mormon, if it is so, it is a grievous thing and may cost him the election.

When the scandal laden Olympics was embarrassing our nation, Ronmey stepped in and turned it into a showcase-Yet Romney is a MORMON, and surely a MORMON cannot be President.

Romney won the governorship of Massachusetts as a REPUBLICAN, yes, in a state that gives us Sen. Kennedy. He showed the ability to work with all people, of all political backgrounds-Yet Romney is a MORMON and surely a MORMON cannot be President.

Romney saved a state government facing fiscal disaster, bringing economic expansion and staving off unemployment, something this nation could use - Yet Romney is a MORMON, and surely a MORMON cannot be President.

Unlike many politicians, Romney has remained faithful to his wedding vows, keeping his commitments to his wife and blessing his children - Yet Romney is a MORMON, and surely a MORMON cannot be President.

The twelfth article of Romney's faith, one which he no doubt memorized as a child, affirms that it is his duty to honor, obey and sustain the law - Yet Romney is a MORMON, and surely a MORMON cannot be President.

Romney's faith group is recognized and respected by governments throughout the world, it was so respected that it was miraculously allowed to build a temple in communist East Germany before the wall came down - Yet Romney is a MORMON, and surely a MORMON cannot be President.

Romney's church teaches that the constitution is a divinely inspired document and that this nation was established by the God of Heaven. Such respect for our nation and its founding document can make just another politician into a statesman - Yet Romney is a MORMON, and surely a MORMON cannot be President.

Romney's religious organization teaches love and compassion for all human beings and provides millions of dollars in aid to many countries. It also sent thousands of volunteers to aid Katrina victims in our own country. That aid is given freely, without regard to the religious preference of the recipients - Yet Romney is a MORMON, and surely a MORMON cannot be President.

Wait a minute. What is it about being Mormon that disqualifies Mitt Romney from being an effective president? It is true that there may be theological differences that exist between Romney and others, but he is not running for Bishop, Rabbi, Pope, Minister, Imam, or Pastor. He is running for President.

Dallas...

Was amazing, simply put. Everything went so perfectly even my first plane ride! I have to admit, I was fine with it all until the plane actually lifted off, and I lost it. Steve said I squeezed his hand harder on the plane than I did during childbirth. LOL. Now I am hooked on flying, that is definitely the way to travel. We went straight to the stadium for the tour. We didn't get to go into the locker room though, they had just started bringing in the equipment for the game so it was off limits.

Next stop was the Aquarium, thank you Allyson, we both had a great time there, like kids in a candy store. We have decided we are going to take the kids down there. They would love it

Dinner was at the Traildust....again, thank you! The steaks were great and I swear I have been there before. It all seemed so familiar to me, I guess when we were in Dallas for your wedding we must have gone there. Sunday night dinner was at the Saltgrass, and I have to admit the steak there was much better, but Traildust had the all around experience/atmosphere. We also went by the training facility, it was pretty cool, but there was nothing to do there that we knew of, so we just drove by and took pictures. I will try to get more of the pictures uploaded soon, but here is a small teaser....We will just have to take a trip down there again and y'all will have to join us...haha
