Hansen: Only two converts in as many years! Don't you ever get discouraged, Elder Romney? Mitt Romney: It is not about the number of converts, Elder Hansen-- it's about us! We are being prepared! Hansen: Yeah, right. How can being rejected by the countless people you've annoyed prepare one for anything? Mitt Romney: You'd be surprised, Elder Hansen. Hansen: What, you have a plan? You have a plan, don't you, Mitt?
“Of course he had a plan, like father, like son!”πFather George’s plan was nothing like his son MItt’s, and son MItt’s plan is nothing like his father George’s.I was a kid growing up in Lansing, Michigan, living with my family in a previous governor’s mansion only a few walking blocks from the Capitol buildings. Dad was a minister and SDA conference official who knew Gov. George Romney personally. πGovernor George was a rock that didn’t turn over; son Mitt was a flip-flopper that would do justice to a flapjack. πOld saying: “The apple never falls far from the tree.” Well, in this case the apple fell into the Grand River (which runs through Lansing) and bibble-bobbled all the way to Lake Michigan.πMitt was a flip-flopper as Governor of Massachusetts, and, with his background, he will be a flip-flopper as President of the United States — if we voters will elect him and hence let him.πSage advice: Don’t.
