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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
