What percent of Romney's policies and proposals - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

did Romney really believe in?

i.e. his hardline immigration position, as well as his many other positions that he "nuanced" or changed in the course of the last decade.

100% means you believe that none of his positions were political calculation, and that he truly sincerely believed everything he said. 0% means it was all a political calculation.

I actually have no idea. I just voted 100% because I knew it would piss some of you off. You know who you are.

He has no beliefs. He's a droid.

MikeWaters · 02-11-2008, 08:03 PM

Because I am willing to give ROmney the benefit of the doubt, I say 50%.

I notice that many others are not willing to say. As they say, "speaks volumes."

I answered 80% in an effort to make the responses approximate a uniform distribution.

I wonder if this graph is a surrogate measure for "strength in ones testimony in the Mormon faith".

It has a pretty strong correlation with how much that poster bitches and moans about the church, its leaders and membership.

So far we have had two people give disclaimers that they voted for reasons other than what they felt was true.

I put this under "most likely to fake a testimony."
