Default Why Mitt Romney can never be President

Administratively, Mitt looks to be as qualified as any person ever to run for President, but the fact is, he can't get it because it would be the end of missionary work as we know it.

Because Mitt's religion is so out there, missionaries might as well walk around with bullseyes on there chests outside the US and Canada. I'm mean is there a more identifiable US target than a fair haired Mormon missionary walking around Bolivia in a white shirt and tie? They would be sitting ducks.

Mitt said his two favorite books are Battlefield Earth and the Bible. I wouldn't worry about this.

Are you saying that missionaries will be targets for assasinations or kidnappings?

Interesting thought. I'd never thought about this perspective before...you may be on to something there.

Is Armageddon starting? if it were to guarantee destruction for Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey and the Utes, I might consider it.

I think he was thinking of Battlestar Galactica, but said Battlefield Earth on accident.

Battlestar Galactica is worse. It's a TV show not a book. As I've said, Mitt may be a genius, as some here believe, but seemingly he's not much of a reader.

Well, Battlestar Galactica has all that LDS symbology. Duh.
