Running on Empty
A few weeks ago, shortly before Fred Thompson officially announced his candidacy, Mitt Romney "aired" an ad featuring him in running shorts, jogging. (I saw it on YouTube, but I think it ran in New Hampshire.)
I don't remember the tag line. Not very memorable. Maybe it was "I'm Mitt Romney. And I'm running. For President."
Yuk, yuk.
Some in the blogosphere were guessing the ad was a subtle slam against Fred Thompson, trying to compare the relative youth of Mitt Romney to Mr. Thompson's admittedly "relaxed" style.
I think it was Mike Allen of Politico who described Mitt Romney as "caffeinated." Which is kind of funny, if you know anything about Mormonism. Mormons aren't supposed to take caffeine. See, Mormons have this thing they call "
The Word of Wisdom."
One of the "words" is:
And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.
Now, if you were a True Believer, you might expect you would take this literally, since there's no reason not to, nor any reason to "spiritualize" or allegorize this "command" from your god. But, as with most everything in Mormonism, it doesn't matter what is written. Rather, what matters is what the leadership says it says... for today. And for today, the Mormon leadership says this verse means, "no caffeine."
Somehow, "hot drink"
has morphed to mean coffee or tea. But what about iced tea? No, that's right out.
Too bad we all have Internet driven, 3 GHz CPU multitasking
ADD nowadays. Mr. Thompson is about a decade out of sync with our system clocks and admittedly, I find it hard not to change channels when he's answering a question. But I digress.
Sick puppy
Despite his great health, the
Boston Globe's internet outlet is reporting that Mitt Romney has come down sick this week.
Now, it should be no surprise that I'm praying to my God against Mitt Romney. And if you're a Bible believing Christian, I encourage you to join me in my prayer.
Specifically, I pray that God would frustrate Mitt Romney's counsel (See
2 Samuel 17:14); that God would keep a Mormon (in this case, Mitt Romney) from being President of our country; and, as we shine the Light on Mormonism, that God will use Mitt Romney's candidacy to bring millions of people out of Mormonism into the Light and to warn would be converts to stay clear of this cult.
While I think my first and last
are in God's will, He may not hear my middle prayer. We wanted a Democratic Republic form of government. And we get the government we deserve. (Think Bill Clinton.)
No gloating
So you might think I'm happy Mitt Romney is sick. No, I am not.
Proverbs 24:17 (from the Bible) says,
Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice,
or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him.
I'm not happy Mitt Romney is sick. But I am happy he's been sidelined for a while.
Now let's talk about something sinister in the news story.
Why is Mitt Romney spending the weekend in Utah?
Romney had canceled an appearance Tuesday in Bakersfield, California, to recuperate, but now he's going to stay in Utah for the weekend after a stop there on Friday.
Hmmmm... could he be homesick? (Click on Trunky above if you didn't already.) Or maybe it's more sinister than that. (Emphasis on "sin.") Maybe he's meeting with his "living prophet" to get new marching orders?
I've posted about this before and there's a memorable photo there.
Secret. Not "sacred."
It would be fascinating to know if Mitt Romney is feeling well enough to do a few
Baptisms for the Dead in the Mormon temple when he's in Utah or if he'll sit through the
Endowment Ceremony movie a few times and have a secret confab in the "
Celestial Room" with Mormon leadership?
I wonder... do you suppose there's a secret underground tunnel from the Mormon church office building to the adjacent Mormon temple, where leadership can huddle and deliberate? Talk about "back room politics!" This is "Celestial Room politics!" (You heard it here first.)
Where are the Paparazzi when you need 'em?
Don't vote for Mitt Romney. His ties to Utah and the Mormon hierarchy are too strong.. He's sworn
an oath to his church, and by extension, his leaders. That's not what you want in a President.
Please help me get the Word out, 'cause I can't do it all by myself.

Like Mormonism, the blog isn't what it seems.
(Some funny photos too.)
