Don't know about that, but do agree he's Romney's only hope.

I disagree, just the last Name BUSH would do Romney in and kill any chance. As good a governor and politician as Jeb Bush is, his last name would kill the whole effort.

I agree. Dubya killed any chances of a further Bush dynasty.

I expect it will be one of the 3 R's: Rubio, Rice, or Ryan.

Then Romney's cooked!

 

[blackhawk]

Why assume it will be one of those listed the pick could and probably should be me.

Condi Rice.
She'll get the Black and Lesbian vote !

I have heard much good about her, however I have also heard she is Not Interested.

Of the choices Rodgers or Rice. Brilliance, charisma, and somewhat differing views on various issues would help Romney.

I know exactly what his heart is.

He thinks Dark Skin is a punishment from God. It's right there in the Book of Mormon.

You don't know shit. You're such a chode

Lame name-calling aside, what is in the book of Mormon is in it.

In the Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi
5:21 we find the following:

And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing,
because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him,
that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and
exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people,
the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.

I read all kinds of material. Doesn't make it factual or me a believer. If YOU believe everything you read you deserve worse names than what I've used idiot.

Explain how BDBoop is a criminal.

She falsely accused me of rape.

If she filed a false police report that is a criminal act.

As it is a false accusation is a civil case and you have to prove damages.

How would BD KNOW? You do not strike me as a poster given to violent sexual imagery, at any rate.

Romney/Christie. Two Presidents for the price of one.

Republican Vice Presidential Candidates 2012: 15 People Who Could Earn The Nomination - Business Insider

Who do you think he should pick, and why.

And don't scream if I'm not present. I'm going to babysit my fur nephew for the next 24 hours. I may be able to swing through from there.

I'm not one for murder

however

I would kill to get Condi as VP

Romney/Christie. Two Presidents for the price of one.

I dunno about Christy. Something about him just doesn't feel right but I can't put my finger on it.

 

[Two Thumbs]

If not Condi

Cristi would make NJ a battle ground and PA Red.

'course taking men from FL or OH will help swing those states.

 

[Two Thumbs]

Romney/Christie. Two Presidents for the price of one.

I dunno about Christy. Something about him just doesn't feel right but I can't put my finger on it.

He's somewhere between a fiscal moderate and a conservative.

but

He could play the part of the VP heel better than the dunce we have now

Guy, this is what is actually in the Book of Mormon, and it was built into their doctrines for a very long time. Blacks were not given the Priesthood until 1978. (For comparison "Segergation forever Strom Thurmond had blacks on his staff by 1978).

I think we kind of deserve an answer to this, does Mitt Romney actually believe this stuff and the 500 other crazy things that are in the Book of Mormon.

Right. Because really, the GOP needs two guys who have absolute contempt for people who work for a living.

Then we should demand to know if every Jewish politician believes in an eye for an eye.

but that's different

Yeah, pretty much, because everyone reads from that same bible, not just the Jews.

And because the whole "Eye for an eye" thing is taken out of context by believers and atheists alike.

The actual verse says that you should take no more than an eye for an eye. (Exodus 21:24) Not that you should go around seeking revenge.

The Mormons officially and absolutely amended their doctrine decades ago and officially declared that the interpretation of the ancient text was in error. And the LDS have not discriminated against black people since currently having black bishops and other church leaders, and black students at Brigham Young U.

They were no better and no worse than any other religious groups who were using Scripture and various other reasonings to continue segregation. And these days, you have to really hunt to find the tiny groups who still believe in segregation and that would not apply to any LDS groups so far as I know.

A free people eventually gets around to correcting irrational cultural taboos and errors.

To condemn the LDS church for that and give all the others a pass seems unreasonably prejudicial to me.

"ancient text"? Really? You mean the text Joseph Smith made up in 1830 by badly plagarizing the format and text of the King James Bible.

I don't give any religion a pass for anything. But I will give then credit that it was certain churches that took a stand for civil rights while the Mormon Cult (I refuse to call it a church) dug in with all its might against it. Even after it stopped being fashionable.

But I do find your claim that the Church found those earlier interpretations were in "error" when

1) They haven't modified the scriptures that were translated in error"

and

2) Wouldn't that be admitting that Joseph Smith and Brigham Young - whom Mormons believe were talking directly to God- got it wrong? I mean, if you are on the Almighty's Fav-Five list, you'd think He'd correct such an obvious error.
