Romney 2008? What do you think



Recommended Posts

i ask as i am curious wether non-Mormons would give him consideration. in the spirit of full disclosure, i am Mormon, but i wont vote for him just because he is one too. i have not made my decision yet.

I'm a non-Mormon, and Romney is my front-runner. His religion is a non-point, because he's still a minority. He'd never be able to get a "Mormon agenda" going with the government set up like it is. Huckabee, on the other hand, is one scary mo-fo. His vision of the United States, "united under Christ" is terrifying, and his conviction that evolution does not exist is just ass-backwards.

I completely agree. When asked recently, he wouldn't retract an ignorant comment that he made in 1992 that AIDS patients should basically be isolated from the rest of the population. That definitely is a "scary mo-fo." I'm surprised that he's not calling for a quarantine of all non-Christians on his platform.

I would hope non-mormons wouldn't write him off because of his religion. He just seems like he has many qualities that America needs.

As far as the family values go, I don't think he would be able actually make written changes on that. that's not the governments place, but he is able to lead by example. The fact that family values are even being spoken of is a step in the right direction. When people hear things enough they start to become that. For example all of the negative influences from the media ect. Our generation is starting to become them! I would like to see more positive out there as well.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
