The man with a plan. Go Mitt!
YES!! And the other post that said that Mitt is "flip-flip"ing based on his support for the automotive industry during the Michigan primary .. is an idiot. He obviously doesn't even know what a "managed bankruptcy" is. Perhaps he should actually read the entire op-ed and listen to this interview. When Mitt said he would "fight for every job" he didn't say that the same person was going to stay in every job or that every job is going to stay with its golden-plated comp pkg. That's the problem with the "entitlement" mentality these days -- particularly grown from the bloated union contracts that have taken hostage of so many businesses. Most of the layoffs will be in the executive level and, as he states here, will be replaced with effective management. And for the so-called Christians that disliked Romney -- he's offering to teach them how to "fish" instead of just offering them a bucket of fish that will, when emptied, cause them to forever be subservient to the government.
A good one on Beliefnet: Stand by the Mormons
Proposition 8 would not have passed if it had not been for LDS (Mormon) money and manpower. For their hard work as participants in the process, this small religious group received some of the worst attacks of the political season.
Despite this fact at times a plausible Mormon presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, was the subject of unfair religious scrutiny. (Some forms of scrutiny of religion are fair, but some are just bigoted. Distinctions start here.) Too often people they have supported in the past were weak in their condemnation of such bigotry.
Republicans should not ask for Mormon money and manpower and then regulate their leaders to the backrooms when leadership roles are handed out.
In the battle for the family, however, traditional Christians have no better friends than the Mormon faithful. It would be wrong if that support were taken for granted. We are intolerant of the false attacks on Mormon faith and family. We stand with our Mormon friends in their right to express their views on the public square. We celebrate the areas, such as family values, where we agree.
Now is the time for traditional Christians -- Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox -- to come to the aid of our Mormon friends. They put themselves on the front line of the traditional marriage battle like no other church group. And now individual Mormons are paying a terrible price for standing up for something we all believe in.
