DownWithTyranny!: FLIP FLOP MITT JUST WANTS EVERYBODY TO LOVE HIM-- SO HE'LL TELL CHRISTIANS JESUS IS COMIN' BACK IN JERUSALEM AND MORMONS THAT HE'S COMIN' TO MISSOURI

We all know that most politicians will say anything to get elected. And among the lot running for president... OMG! They include some of the biggest liars in the history of contemporary politics: Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Fred Thompson, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden. Be real, whatever your political persuasion is. Could you ever believe any of these people said to you when they wanted something-- like a vote or a buck? OK, maybe Hillary... but those other 4? It would be really, really hard to go lower. And-- you knew this was comin'-- the Republicans have managed to dig something lower up. Meet Mitt Romney. Even Mormons cringe when he opens his yap.

Romney, who wasn't born with the nickname "Flip Flop Mitt," but earned it the old fashioned way, is widely considered a man who will say whatever it takes to please the audience in front of him. He has absolutely no moral backbone and is generally considered a political opportunist who stands for absolutely nothing beyond a lust for office-- not that unlike Giuliani as a matter of fact. But Romney's campaign has been largely fueled by members of his cult or "church," the Mormons. His campaign contributions come from Mormons as though it were a tithe which allowed a 4th rate candidate with virtually no following to rake in more money than front runners Giuliani and McCain.

But Mormons, as eager as they are to see one of their own grab the levers of power, have been aghast at Romney's inability to be straightforward. John Dehlin a 37 year old from Utah who produces a Mormon podcast, is disappointed. "I had the hope that Romney would be steadfast, be up front and have integrity and consistency, but I’ve been disillusioned. It makes me a lot less proud than I otherwise would have been.”

While many Mormons hope Romney's image as "clean cut" will help dispel widesspread belief among Christians that Mormonism is a satanic cult, others worry that whenever Romney screws up, it will be a bad reflection on Mormonism and they wish he'd just leave well enough alone and go back to making more billions of dollars as a financial speculator.

Some Mormons have watched with concern how Mr. Romney has responded to grilling by interviewers about his church’s distinctive doctrines.

Mr. Romney has been questioned about the Mormon definition of God, polygamy, the location of Jesus’s arrival when he returns to earth, and even a mysterious saying attributed to Joseph Smith Jr. called the “White Horse Prophecy,” which some interpret as a prediction that when the American Constitution is hanging “by a thread,” a Mormon will rescue the nation.

Mr. Romney’s tendency to gloss over Mormonism’s history and distinctive tenets has upset some fellow Mormons. Some said they cringed when Mr. Romney said on “60 Minutes,” “I can’t imagine anything more awful than polygamy.”

Tom Grover, 26, a Mormon who is the host of a weekday talk show on politics on radio station KVNU here, said that while he thinks Mr. Romney has handled the scrutiny admirably, some of his callers were incensed about Mr. Romney’s repudiation of his own ancestors’ polygamy. The church outlawed the practice a century ago, but members are taught to understand that polygamy had a theological and historical context in the church, which Mr. Romney’s remark ignored.

“That really left a bad taste in people’s mouths,” Mr. Grover said. “That’s a tough thing for people to hear when their ancestors sacrificed a lot to live that life. They probably wouldn’t bring polygamy back, but they honor the place of it in church history.”

Audrey M. Godfrey, a historian who has written books with her husband, Kenneth, said of Mr. Romney, “If I were one of his relatives, I would be upset with him.”

Another case arose when George Stephanopoulos of ABC News asked Mr. Romney about a Mormon teaching that Jesus will come to the United States when he returns to reign on earth. Mr. Romney responded that the Messiah will return to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, “the same as the other Christian tradition.”

Mr. Grover said some of his radio listeners were astounded.

“They were just in disbelief, saying that’s not true, Jesus is coming back to Missouri,” Mr. Grover said. “It’s the L.D.S. Church’s 10th article of faith that Zion will be built upon the American continent.”

Romney's September 11 may be coming in August when the film September Dawn is released and will show the Mormons in a light that is said to reflect savagely on their insular and secretive culture. Even staunch Republicans who have seen advances say it could hurt Romney's campaign.
