Multiple Choice Mitt uses VT tragedy to pander: “the first thing I did was pick up my bible.”

[draft_mario_cuomo]

==He referenced Isaiah when highlighting his foreign policy goals and cited Cain and Abel when talking about the Virginia Tech shootings. He also said that after hearing about the tragedy in Blacksburg, “the first thing I did was pick up my bible.”==

Will the Republic Party really fall for someone who is so blatantly a phony?

1. "Will the Republic Party really fall for someone who is so blatantly a phony?"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The question is, when will they STOP falling for phonies?

4. Good point--but Multiple Choice Mitt makes Bush look sincere

And that is saying something!

[Debau2005]

2. He must have watched

the History International Channel this weekend. They did a show on Cain and Abel and it's references with white supremist and other groups through the centuries.

And yes, they will fall for it.

[saltpoint]

3. That isn't true. The first thing he picked up was a poll of the Republican base.

THEN he grabbed the Bible.

5. You are right

Romney has to be the biggest fake in all of politics. Let's hope he wins the nomination.

[saltpoint]

10. Yep. Ol' Mitt's keeping folks on their toes. He's pro-same-sex rights, but

wait, now he's against it. And on several other issues, too. Hard to pin the man down.

If they nominate him, I don't see him carrying enough states for an electoral college victory. I think he'd do better than Bob Dole in some states, but I think any of our people can whomp him nationwide.

21. Damn straight--OK, how do we react to this?

[LibDemAlways]

6. He specifically referred to"my Bible" as a message to

the "Christian" right that he reads their Bible. Note he did not say he picked up the Book of Mormon. Not commenting here on his religion - that's none of my business - but on his blatent attempt to spin the situation to his political advantage. What an asshole.

14. I've never known a Mormon to pick up and read a bible.

Some may...........but I've never seen it, and I have them in my family and have lived among them.

[LibDemAlways]

16. Yep, Mitt's pandering, all right.

Ever stayed at a Marriott? They have the Book of Mormon in every room along with a copy of the Bible. How transparent is this guy? Jeez.

[draft_mario_cuomo]

17. You are dead right

[AzDar]

7. When speaking before the NRA : 'the first thing I picked up was my hunting rifle'.

[TwilightGardener]

9. BWAH! He's probably got a different object in mind for every

interest group he appeals to.

[thereismore]

8. Which Bible would that be? The Old and New Testament, or the Book of

MORMON?

[LiberalFighter]

15. Better yet... which book chapter and verse?

[yellowcanine]

19. Song of Solomon? "Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the

lilies."

[EVDebs]

11. Now that the Cunningham case makes clear a CIA/GOP money connection

it may be time to reflect on the CIAs own Mormon recruitments. Is Mitt one of the company's ?

Time Magazine, August 4, 1997, has an article titled "Kingdom Come" by David Van Biema (in fact, the entire magazine issue is about the Mormon Church, titled 'Mormons, Inc.: The secrets of America's most prosperous religion')

On page 52 I read, "The FBI and CIA, drawn by a seemingly incorruptible rectitude, have instituted Mormon-recruiting plans."

[ToeBot]

12. Not to mention the NSA...

I had a professor that was "friends" with "a guy" that worked at the NSA.

[Bozita]

13. He might endear himself to the Bushies more by picking up "My Pet Goat"

It's a real page turner.

[yellowcanine]

18. Yeah right. More likely, the first thing he did was call a political advisor and ask him what to

say so that once again he would not have a foot in mouth moment. The advisor likely gave him the "picked up my bible" line.

[hatrack]

20. "The second thing I did was call Zogby and Gallup . . . "

The third thing I did was set up a focus group . . .

:puke:

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

22. Why do

they always go to the old Testament? :shrug:

[AZBlue]

23. Did he then "thank God that George Bush was the President"?
