Mitt Romney the coward
Mitt Romney is a successful business man, family man, and great Mormon. But one thing that is for sure is that Mitt Romney is playing down his religion during is campaign for presidency. The truth is that Mitt Romney was a bishop or lay pastor, at his church in Belmont, Mass. After that, he served nine years as stake president overseeing about a dozen Boston area parishes. The sad thing is that Romney has had to be more cautious about his religion in how he discusses his faith. The public has weird notions towards the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Polls repeatedly continue to show that a large portion of the electorate, about 27 percent, Newsweek discovered would not vote for a Mormon for the president of the United States. Romney is extremely aware of this fact and has been down playing his religion since day one on his campaign trail. He uses his religion when it helps him gain support and million dollars worth of donations from his fellow Mormons, but when he realizes that his religion makes him the black sheep of the presidential hopefuls he completely downplays his roots.
