		<description>Team Obama keep beating the Mormon drum because it is the only wedge they have left to be effective or think will be effective to define Mitt Romney.

The media keeps attacking Romney&#039;s religion to somehow draw him out to defend himself.  They strike at what they think is an emotional soft spot and weakness.  The left attacks with &quot;You aren&#039;t a good Mormon, be more honest and defend your beliefs.&quot; in the hope Mitt Romney will stop talking about President Obama&#039;s failures in office.

Some of the mainstream media come from the other direction attempting to provoke Mitt Romney into defending himself and his community with &quot;Look at how bad your religion is and how aweful its leaders and members were that caused suffering, division and death.  We think Mormons are terrible people and that will make Mitt Romney a terrible President.&quot;  Thus people like Lawrence O&#039;Donnell attempt to force the Republican candidate to defend himself.

It isn&#039;t working.  Trotting out tragedies, mistakes and attacks on anything but the main issue is not working for the American people.  The man behind the curtain was seen already.  All the fire, effects, shouting and rage poured out off the stage is not impotent bluster.

The talking big giant heads continue to speak, but everyone eyes are on the ones who pull the levers including Mitt Romney.

As the latest attack on Mormonism fails to assault Obama&#039;s rival and more people are see the man behind the curtain spinning and pulling at anything his amplified voice will fade as he sees all eyes on him in November with a last shout &quot;I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL PRESident of the ... United ... States ... of ...  ...  ... America.&quot;

Barrak Obama has been exposed and we can see him pulling the levers and spinning the campaign wheels.  He was always exposed with the curtain wide open or book open for anyone to read.  John McCain refused to read the book to the public and the palace guards of Team Obama have been pushing any other book like the religion of Mitt Romney to read.

Now people are reading Obama&#039;s book to the public, sometimes literally and even in the sitting president&#039;s own voice.  You again literally hear after reading and hearing the President talk about his book the media on Team Obama tell people not to read it.

&quot;Barrak Obama ate dog as a child so what.&quot;  &quot;He wrote a bio for his book he did change for over 15 years with a simple fact-check error of his birth place he used for college and most of his adult life there is nothing to see here.&quot;  &quot;The president&#039;s school, college and life are not important.  We need to focus instead on Mitt Romney&#039;s school, college and life.&quot;  This is what Team Obama is telling the American people to do.

It isn&#039;t working and more people are realizing that.  Even to the point there are some liberals saying the country will be destroyed if Obama wins the popular vote, but loses the election in the electoral college.  That Mitt Romney should waste his money in deep blue states to prevent this and attempt to win the popular vote too.  If not Mitt Romney should quit to be noble and save the country he loves by letting Obama remain president.

That is absurd, but that is how desparate the Democrats are becoming as November gets closer.  You get Team Obama reporters like Brian Williams saying that our system of government &quot;compromise&quot; is broken.  It isn&#039;t broken.  It is called checks and balances.  Compromise is when you are checked and want part of your agenda to pass you give a little to come to an agreement.

The only person who does not compromise is the current President.  Never has once.  He has his agenda and thought he had won.  Barrak Obama then began to experience resistance.  Not from congress, from the people who did not agree with his agenda.  Every step of the way he pulled the levers, spun the wheels and did everything he could to get the fire, the talking heads to speak and loud crashing booms to intimidate the citizens of America; all the while not realizing he was bumping the curtain.

The new media and citizens like Toto pulled back the curtain so everyone could see what &quot;The One&quot; who was to bring &quot;Hope and Change&quot; really looked like.  Just a man, not a master campaign wizard.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with kgbudge on this one. I also found this weird, and I think that is the point. I&#039;ve never heard anyone in the church refer to someone as as &quot;being deseret&quot;. Instead of just saying Romney was one of the hardest working consultants, the Times couldn&#039;t help but turn it into a trifecta of dog whistles: references to weird Mormon jargon, the Book of Mormon, and Romney&#039;s missionary service. Just another play on the &quot;Mormons are weird&quot; meme.</description>

		<description>Gee. I didn&#039;t know my actions would cost Mitt the presidency. If I did, I would have been nicer to my sisters. Now it is all out in the open.  Sorry Mitt. I guess it really &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; your fault I hit my sister and pushed her down when I was six. Sorry.</description>

		<description>Your point was not missed.  It just wasn&#039;t very well made.  As I said, it may not have been used in exactly in this manner, but your point was an exercise in hair-splitting.  This may have been little more than a mis-quote, or perhaps an off the cuff remark that didn&#039;t come out as intended.  It&#039;s pretty clear that something was lost in translation, but I suspect it is unlikely that any sinister was afoot.  There is plenty of inane nonsense being put out in the MSM without straining at a gnat such as this.</description>

		<description>Oh, I agree that Mitt Romney should be held responsible for Mountain Meadows. The current governor of Missouri should be held responsible for the extermination order--even though it was precipitously rescinded in 1976--a mere 36 years ago. (What? Mormons aren&#039;t fair game anymore?) The current county clerk of Livingston County, the current sheriff of Caldwell County, and all members of the Missouri State Legislature must also be held responsible for Haun&#039;s Mill. In fact, anyone who lives in New York, Ohio, Illinois, or Missouri should be liable for the treatment of Mormons beginning in, say, 1820. Maybe if a whole bunch of Mormons got together and got drunk, they could whip themselves up into a frenzy about the outrages perpetrated on their ancestors . . . by other people&#039;s ancestors. Then a Native American could show up and tell us all to leave.</description>
