GOLDEN | Mitt Romney comes to Colorado in his first stateside appearance after an overseas trip plagued by controversy.
The Republican presidential candidate will speak to supporters in Golden at 11:15 am Thursday, then meet with Republican governors in Basalt. Romney is nursing wounds from a trip in which he was mocked in England for questioning preparations for the summer Olympics, then criticized for saying culture explains the economic gap between Israel and the Palestinian Territories.
It’s also been two weeks since a gunman killed 12 people and wounded 58 at a screening of the new Batman movie in Aurora. The campaigns of Romney and President Barack Obama took down political ads in the days after the July 20 attack, but both are back on the air this week.
Big Government – Big Church – Big Business: What I find most interesting about the Mitt Romney Presidential Campaign against Obama is that Romney was losing most of the GOP Primaries until The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) – The Mormons, Church Leaders instructed their millions of church members to begin attending all local political meeting. Perhaps this was so that the LDS faithful could elect each other as their states official Delegates. Romney than began sweeping the GOP elections across the country. The repercussions of this request of the Mormon faithful by the LDS church leaders will be experienced throughout the political system of the United States of America for years, if not decades to come. If the LDS church does not succeed in putting a Mormon President in the White House in 2012, you can trust the LDS church will persist until it does.
