I just got off the phone with a VP of a pretty big company who started to tell me that he and his company were so hoping that Romney wins next week so that the economy doesn't go totally into the shiter. He's also apparently worried that if Obama wins that the US currency will totally collapse and China will take over the world. WTF?
I don' get that at all.. why in the hell do 'smart' people believe that kind of stuff.. it's straight 'world daily news'.. hell, even the national enquirer wouldn't print that kind shit for fear of being laughed at.. and yet, a whole swath of people not only believe it, they vote for it...
Chuck makes some awesome points..
He exposed an underbelly, long since denied, that IS alive and well in this nation. His mere presence in the oval office, before he did a single thing as President, called to the forefront every crazy muther fucker and put their ignorance on display, unashamedly, because all the other crazy muther fuckers and the ones previously embarrassed by them...united into one gigantic ball of crazy. Validating one another, like kids validate one another. Since they agree it would be cool to light gasoline on fire, the consensus makes it legitimate and reasonable.It simply amazing to watch..
But Romney can't be held accountable for any of his constant lies because it's church dogma. "Lying for the Lord refers to the practice of lying to protect the image of and belief in the Mormon religion, a practice which Mormonism itself fosters in various ways. From Joseph Smith's denial of having more than one wife, to polygamous Mormon missionaries telling European investigators that reports about polygamy in Utah were lies put out by "anti-Mormons" and disgruntled ex-members, to Gordon B. Hinckley's dishonest equivocation on national television over Mormon doctrine, Mormonism's history seems replete with examples of lying. Common members see such examples as situations where lying is justified. For the Mormon, loyalty and the welfare of the church are more important than the principle of honesty, and plausible denials and deception by omission are warranted by an opportunity to have the Mormon organization seen in the best possible light. This is part of the larger package of things that lead many to describe Mormonism as a cult. "Lying for the lord" is part of Mormonism's larger deceptive mainstreaming tactics, and conversion numbers would drastically lower if important Mormon beliefs were fully disclosed to investigators." So when Romney tells his lies he's doing what's best for the church because him getting elected is what is.
This shit is institutionalized fuckin crazy. How do you justify, or how can you believe in a church that... never mind.

oddly enough you know who else tells their followers to lie to 'get inside'.. and that it's OK if it's for the Lord?? Muslim terrorists..
not kidding.. they are allowed to sleep with women,eat pork,drink alcohol, get tatttoo'd.. all of it, all in the name of Allah if it gets them closer to their God and goal..
