Anyway, I think BO's slip of the tongue, off the cuff, or whatever you want
to call it, was a huge gaffe on his part. It was his subconscious speaking
and not the well rehearsed rhetoric he's so famous for.
You can keep the 5 grand.

BO is painful to watch when he "speaks without a safety net".

The UMs, You Knows and pauses make me cringe. The other night I counted
14 ums in the space of two minutes. If you wanted to play a drinking game using the UM as the criteria for talking a drink, You'd lose your liver in 20 minutes. Some people will take the UMs as a sign that someone is thinking about what will come out of their mouth.

I really don't see that in this case.

I saw Mitt Romney during the torch run of the Salt Lake City Olympic Games.
That dude was sharply dressed, very official and was very well spoken. I am not star-struck or impressed by stars, politicians or athletes anymore. I don't 'like' men either.

I could not keep my eyes off of him. He has a very apparent aura about him- he has presence. When the Mormon/Polygamy scandal came up, I laughed. OOHHH! Your church used to allow multiple wives. What about the Catholic Church? If the Muslims are still sore about the Crusades I am sure we can put any religion under a microscope and find fault.

MR didn't have a spiritual advisor problem. As much as the media tried to connect him with polygamy it didn't pan out.

Here you have a situation where a candidate for the presidency refuses to sever the ties he has to a person who has made some of the goofiest statements against the same government who probably grant his church a
non profit/tax free status.

Liz,
Don't bother to try and understand me. I'm not running for any office. Try to get into the heads of the people who want the presidency-they are the one who count!
