Tell "your people" to quit converting dead Jews to Mormonism.
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/Religion/post/2012/02/mitt-romney-mormon-baptism-elie-wiesel-holocaust/1
Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel on (Tuesday) called on Mitt Romney to tell the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to stop doing proxy baptisms in the names of dead Jews, including Holocaust victims such as Wiesel's parents.
Previous discoveries of proxy baptisms of Jews over the past 18 years have outraged Jewish leaders. Such baptisms are especially problematic since so many Jewish people over the centuries had been forced to convert to Christianity against their will and murdered or expelled from countries when they did not.
Romney is already on record that when he was a bishop in the church in Boston, he participated in this practice.
------------------
I understand that Bibi is not thrilled with President Obama because our President is not in the "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" party, and Mitt is.... BUT as the leader of this Jewish state one would think NUTanyhu would have a major problem with Mitt Romney for his insane beliefs. Seriously, Netanyahu - you may find yourself on the list.

We did some deals together,lost a boatload of money on one of Willards and BiBis take over and later death spiral financing,using naked short selling through the Teliviev OTC market. This sh*t goes

(16 posts)Good.. Maybe he can talk with the Israeli's about medical cannabis.. he was so arrogant/ignorant about it last month.
See, the Israeli's are on the forefront of cannabis research and are insisting cannabis be a FIRST line of defense before strong and deadly narcotics (their government even grows it for the patients). They also, like Europe, have the prescribed "Sativex' that is being approved in the US as we speak FOR MS (Mitts wife has MS), but at 18 dollars a one time spray, and you have to spray several times a day, well.. cheaper to make your own.
Anyway Mitt, instead of getting snarky next time a reporter asks you a question a thinking man should at least be able to answer honestly, instead of saying 'Don't we have something important to talk about', maybe you might want to consider it aint all about you. Please, for God's sake Mitt, talk to the Israeli's.. you need schooling bad on this subject. 1960's are over

(15,318 posts)Even if Romney wasn't so idiotically hawkish on Iran, I think Netanyahu would still prefer him over Obama.
They've known each other since Romney's days at Bain, and there are articles out there that explain this friendship in detail.
