Mitt Romney Makes Bank!
eBay Exec. Lends Helping Hand

megwhitman.jpg
Mitt Romney's fund-raising blitz got off to a disturbingly good start yesterday, raising 6.5 million bones for the Evangelical, allegedly homo-phobic and certainly opportunistic Republican. While it comes as no surprise that people would throw money at a man many see as the Republican front runner (although, we're not convinced the Evans will be by his side), two readers pointed us in the direction of one particular snippet from Adam Nagourney's piece for The New York Times:

“I’ve never done anything like this before,” said Meg Whitman, the chief executive of eBay, in a break from her callers. “I start out by saying: ‘You won’t believe where I am! I’m at the Boston Convention Center with four or five hundred other people dialing for contributions for Mitt Romney.’ ”
What do our tipsters want us to do with this nugget? Republish it, we're assuming. What do they want you to do with it? We haven't the foggiest.

Another part of the article reads thus: .

..Mr. Romney was certainly not taking any chances. When it came time for him to make a fund-raising call, piped over the loudspeaker and in front of a crush of cameras, he chose to call his older sister, Lynn Keenan, at her home outside Detroit.
Coward.

Mitt Romeny can't be an "Evangelical" if he's a Mormon, which ain't Christian. "Fundamentalist" maybe.

Maybe Ms. Whitman wouldn't be so excited about soliciting money for Mitt Romney if it prompted millions of gays and lesbians to cancel their e-bay accounts?

In response to sweatpea!
If Mormons are not Christians, please tell me what it takes to be a Christian. I am a former member of the Assembly of God church, and I got real sick of these so called Christians, bashing other faiths like the Mormons and the Jehovas Witnesses. I have decided if Christianity means that you bash people of other faiths, then I don't want to be one any more. I know Mormons and Jehovas Witnesses alike and I am here to tell you that they both accept Christ as their savior, and they practice their religeon daily not just on Sunday.

Romney will never win, becuase the people who would vote for his conservative ways will also be put off by the fact that he is a mormon. catholics run into the same problem. liberals don't care what religion you are, but american history shows that for president, an overwhelming percentage of americans DO care about what religion you are. so let him run, but dont get your panties in a know because he aint gonan win.

If eBay tolerates a homophobe at the top of its executive team, would that provoke a backlash that hurts shareholders? I think so. You can tell them what you think:

Romney is the man!! Oh and he is running for president not for archbishop or any other church calling. If you idiots would do your homework you would see that he is the only person who should be the next president. The guy is a winner!!!

I've asked different people what church they belonged to and have gotten a range of answers from Mormon to nothing. But the majority of people that didn't belong to a faith actually considered themselves to be Christians. There is no litmus test that I know of that tells me whether one person is a Christian or not. The question is how do they see themselves in light of what they believe?. As a member of the LDS faith I don't know what other people require of me to prove to them that I belong to the Christian Community. After all the official name of the Mormon chuch is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. Its in the name folks. We aren't the Baptist's or the Lutheran's or the Catholics or the Quakers or the Church of the lamb or the Church of whatever.
