MyIDonCBS, get your facts from the source and not heresy pamphlets written out of hatred and naivety. You want to know what the Church of Jesus Christ believes and actually teaches in their meetings? Go to www.lds.org where you can read the lesson manuals where this weeks lessons are contained. Prepare to be surprised that the lessons teach of Christ, honesty, citizenship, morality, and families. You mock the a church that you really know nothing about. So persecuted they Jesus who they knew not. Spend your efforts on helping others, and making your community a better place as members of the LDS church do instead of tearing down a group that teaches to be more Christ-like.

If "family values" had any real meaning to these politicians, then they would drop out of politics and actually stay closer to home with their families to deal with illness.

Let me guess. She's a little bit country, he's a little bit rock and roll. And, that's about as far as they ever disagree.
It's still amazing that this "leader" can't talk any of his 5 sons into fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here even though he says he believes in that struggle. I guess he wants to fight them over there to the last drop of blood of other people's children.

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormons"), the Romneys are required to believe:

%u2013 God is not eternal, but was once a man on another planet

%u2013 God is married to his goddess wife and has spirit children

%u2013 Jesus is the "spirit brother" of Lucifer and all humans are their siblings

%u2013 The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are three separate gods

%u2013 The Father and the Son each have separate, physical bodies

%u2013 The book of Mormon is more accurate than the Bible

%u2013 The gospel was lost until Mormon founder Joseph Smith restored it and there is no salvation outside of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

%u2013 It is impossible to be saved by God's grace alone.

I can't imagine that any evangelical or "born-again" Christians will be able to vote for that! So, don't be too harsh on Romney. He might just be the perfect candidate to guarantee the republicans lose the next election.

Wow, I can see that most blogers who have a family must be enjoying the holiday with them. Those who have not been married for 38 years read these stories in complete agony over their pathetic broken lives. These stories of the Romneys are a rare look into the sincerity and devotion not seen very often today.
I have seen the flip of Mitt, but no flop. I have seen the talk, and then more importantly the action and RESULTS from Mitt. I hope my 14 year marriage can continue as this one has.

A striking resemblence to Donnie and Marie Osmond!

Where are the Osmonds, by the way?

Do Mormons believe in fluoridation? Either that, or there must be a lot of natural fluoride in the water in Utah!

What pablum! Was the paid for by the Romney campaign then? It's just more irresponsible "journalism" from the asleep at the wheel, brain dead main stream media.

We don't need another empty suit pandering to the ultra-right wing conservatives. And we certainly don't need CBS giving uncritcal "feel-good" warm and fuzzy stories like this.

I don't know what Romney has done to earn this kind of verbal BJ here, but I'm starting to see a pattern similar to what lead up to Bush's "election" in 2000.

Wow...what a mash of dis-information. "he is going to bow out of the race...", "Their sincerity reeks of phoniness.", "the Scientologist fiction bible was his favorite book", "He has flip-flopped on every major issue in his campaign", "Romney baloney...". It's about time we had a president with a proven record of fixing what's broke. And the government has plenty of things to fix.

She and Mike Fox could make a great team (I mean that in a good way). They can do a lot for MS research and treatment.

But, no matter how much lipstick she puts on Romney, he is going to bow out of the race sometime in late 2/2008 or early 3/2008. If by some chance he is the Republican nominee, he will lose. Two main reasons: first, he opposes the will of the American people who want to withdraw from Iraq (over 70%) and he opposes a comprehensive immigration plan. The Hispanic bloc will vote for the other guy.

Too bad, he looks presidential and sounds presidential but way too many self imposed obstacles.

She comes across as just as slick, slimy and phony as he does. Their sincerity reeks of phoniness. They remind me of the same phoniness you see from that clown of a husband and wife act on TBN as they appeal for money. They ooze into the room and leave little puddles of slime behind them when they leave.

Pointless and worthless story. Hillary Clinton stood by her man, what soon to be first lady doesn't. Stupid story!

It always nice to check in on Mitt every couple of days to see what his current positions are...

Say why did he say the Scientologist fiction bible was his favorite book?

I may be a bigot but I wouldn't support a Scientologist for President or one who supports them-

Romney is all ambition and no principle. He has flip-flopped on every major issue in his campaign. All he's got to offer is more Bush-like pandering to the extreme minority right-wing nutjobs.

Why is this news? A mormon wife standing by her man? If she WASN'T standing by her man, it would be newsworthy...please, no more Romney baloney.
