The libs are really struggling to smear Romney. So you are now concerned about Romeny dating? I guess Bo using cocaine and smoking weed is okay in comparison.
I am independent, and I am more concerned about him avoiding the service to his country at a time or war.

I think it's funny they bent Church rules for Mitt Romney, that's all. Probably happnes at Churches all over America. Probably not an isolated incident based upon who he or his father was. Oh well, nothing to see here, move along. Just like the patatial housing he stayed at. I'm sure. ”. It featured stained glass windows, chandeliers, and an extensive art collection. It was staffed by two servants – a Spanish chef and a houseboy. The building, on Rue de Lota, was bought by the Mormons in 1952, having been seized by the Nazis during the Second World War. The Church sold it again in the 1970s, and it was until recently the embassy of the United Arab Emirates. It is currently worth as much as $12 million. I'm sure other missionaries had similiar.

Screw it. He's not special at all.
Sometimes it's hard to blame him when you realize that's really been kinda the recurring theme throughout his whole life, hasn't it? That Mitt is somehow always "Entitled" and "Special"....

Except that they didn't. I keep asking for a direct quote from the article saying they did, and you have yet to provide it. Probably because there isn't one. You have taken one sentence out of an entire article ("The couple saw each other rarely and only under strict supervision.") and interpreted it to mean that mission rules were suspended in Mitt's case and that he was allowed an occasional date with Ann. Here's how it is when you're on a mission: You are assigned a "companion" who must accompany you literally everywhere you go except for the bathroom every waking minute of your day. Mitt may have helped her decorate the building for the church Christmas dinner and then sat next to each other and talked that evening -- surrounded by not only his companion but in plain view of 200 other people. That's as intimate as they'd have had a chance to get. There would have been no "alone time." The article doesn't even remotely imply otherwise, so why are you continuing to insist that it does?
Back in 1968, Mitt Romney was just like any other 19-year-old Mormon missionary. You haven't provided one single solitary bit of solid evidence that he was ever treated any differently than any other missionary serving in France at that time. Like his mission president was supposed to be thinking, "Wow. Maybe in 44 years this young man is going to be running for President of the United States. And besides, his daddy's rich. We've got to treat him with kid gloves." Start providing some real evidence for a change. Your total lack of objectivity and your insistence upon making things up as you go along is getting rather old.

I can see you agree that the Church allowed them to see each other. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, I know about the companions.
Also, from what I've read about missionary life, a houseboy and a house good enough to be an embassy are not usual perks. Neither is meeting with your girlfriend. You're supposed to lock your heart.
I think you're defining date differently than me. I consider being together with someone you have a romantic interest in, either alone or with 200 people, as a date. For you, it's only a date if you're alone?
Seriously? What do you call it if you get togetherwith your romantic interest and 200 people? Unless you want to claim it was a chance meeting. That's possible, I suppose. The article doesn't say.
The version of "saw" is not "physically seeing someone with your eyes" otherwise they would not have needed "strict supervsion." They met and they were romantically involved.
Accordig to the tenets of being a missionary, he wasn't supposed to be seeing her at all.

Don't forget Bo's imaginary composite girlfriends. God knows what they really were!
If this is the "dirt" on Mitt..what more is there to say? They are really reaching here. No rules were broken...sometimes people who know each other see one another at church...that is hardly "dating"...Ann went to France...for school....that is hardly a sin. Yeah...she was probably chasing Mitt...and keeping tabs on him. Wow...imagine a 19 year old girl doing that!
Yes....we are talking about people at age NINETEEN!!! Reality check! No crime here...

Starr your own thread about that if you want. Ths one' about Mitt not being contrained by his faith, if it gets in his way.
Speaking of which, neither is Obama. He's a murderer. Killed a man without a trial.
