I just don't think Mittens is really into this that much. I really don't.

I think he is just a Mormon-Bot...groomed and programmed from a very young age and convinced this is his destiny.
Yeah, and there is that "white horse" prophecy bullshit too.

Like everything else in his privileged life. He wouldn't have to fight for it, he wouldn't have to try. He's probably shell shocked over the fact that people aren't kowtowing to him like they do in the business world.

It's like me being booked to go out and tour as a singer. Even if I was guaranteed the money, it wouldn't be any fun going out there and dodging the tomatoes after awhile!

I don't think Willard has any idea of his, or that he even has any. He strikes me as astoundingly oblivious.

Maybe he wound up winning the nomination almost by accident.

He doesn't seem enthusiastic. I thought it was Ann pushing him until I read her comment about "never doing another campaign" from a few years ago.

I don't know to what extent Mormons believe in the notion of the "prosperity gospel" which expresses the view that if you are wealthy it is because God loves you more than others.

I think Mittens has enjoyed a life of privilege from the wealth to being protected from his acts of abuse and impersonation. He saw that terrorizing a gay man, a teacher and impersonating a patrol officer didn't result in any punishment. So for him terrorizing employees and investors of companies was a natural next step. I can terrorize them, lay them off, ship their jobs off to China, India, who cares, as long as I get rich and richer off of them.

When that worked out like a dream he moved on to be governor of MA. That didn't work out so well with his record of job growth and debt among the worst in the nation. But he did do one important thing - pass a comprehensive state health insurance program.

Then he moved on to "save" the Salt Lake Winter Games. What he won't publicly admit of course is that he took more federal money than all other previous Olympic games combined. He saved them only with federal money, money he now would deny the Treasury.

Since then he has been running for President. I firmly believe he thinks he deserves this. His Daddy was governor. He was governor. He headed up the Salt Lake Olympic games. He destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans and got rich in the process. Of course he deserves to the President.

His church is a money-making cult. Their beliefs are as solidly rooted in money, wealth and power as that of the Catholic church.

So for him the natural role of President is to lavish even more money on his wealthy friends. He and his pal Ryan have yet to read the Bible. Robme can excuse himself to say he reads the book of Moroni more than the Bible but Ryan has no excuse. Of course Ryan may be guided by Pope Bennie and the Jets who protected pedophiles only to be voted as the next pope. Go figure!!!!!
