GOP debate ...a little late...

Well that was the most frustrating debate ever! So many lies thrown around you don't know who is telling the truth! I am glad I didn't watch the whole thing and just saw clips bc ...bleh. Debates for the GOP are kinda useless...you have to wait for the fact check or research the truth yourself to get anything from it. I think Romney seemed pleased with the outcome...but in my opinion, it is only bc he isn't a blundering idiot like his opponents (I just disagree with him)...haha. I mean really? Newt Gingrich? How is he even a candidate!? I still can't get over it.

Bullies!

Bullying at school, in the neighborhood, at the bus stops...we have all witnessed it as adolescents, but today it is rampant. However, it isn't only kids or even the celebrity tabloids...it is our own politicians. The servants of the people...yes, they are the ones bullying one another...egging on a society already too cruel on one on another. Distracting Americans by all the mindless crap like Romney being mean to dogs bc of something he did 20 yrs ago. Give me a break! That is just so silly.
Candidates: Remember what your mother taught you (or should have)? "Be nice. Tell the truth. Stand up for what you believe in, but don't fight."
Seems pretty simple to me. Be professional. Cut the negative ads and instead add a refreshing positive ad to the campaign. It would probably win ya more votes at this point, bc I am sure I am not the only one sick of it all.
For more examples of this see this article I found on the topic:

Quote of the day:

BYU commencement in 1972, President Brown counseled graduating students to “Strive to develop a maturity of mind and emotion and a depth of spirit which enables you to differ with others on matters of politics without calling into question the integrity of those with whom you differ. Allow within the bounds of your definition of religious orthodoxy variation of political belief. Do not have the temerity to dogmatize on issues where the Lord has seen fit to be silent.” He also warned, “beware of those who feel obliged to prove their own patriotism by calling into question the loyalty of others. Be skeptical of those who attempt to demonstrate their love of country by demeaning its institutions.”

And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information
Oh, they can bend it all they want
John Mayer: "Waiting on the World to Change"

"Let us learn respect for others if we are to realize the abundant life. Man, by nature, is tempted to seek only his glory and not the glory of his neighbor or the glory of his God. None of us lives alone—in our city, our nation, or our world. There is no dividing line between our prosperity and our neighbor’s poverty."

-Thomas S Monson

Scripture of the day:

Scriptures to have in our hearts when we vote!

"That now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality." — 2 Corinthians 8:14

"Renounce war and proclaim peace." — D&C 98:16

"And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them." — Moses 7:18

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction." — James 1:27

"Plead the cause of the poor and the needy." — D&C 124:75

"We do not believe it just to mingle religious influence with civil government, whereby one religious society is fostered and another proscribed in its spiritual privileges, and the individual rights of its members, as citizens, denied." — D&C 134:9

"And now, because of the steadiness of the church they began to be exceedingly rich, having abundance of all things whatsoever they stood in need—an abundance of flocks and herds, and fatlings of every kind, and also abundance of grain, and of gold, and of silver, and of precious things, and abundance of silk and fine-twined linen, and all manner of good homely cloth. And thus, in their prosperous circumstances, they did not send away any who were naked, or that were hungry, or that were athirst, or that were sick, or that had not been nourished; and they did not set their hearts upon riches; therefore they were liberal to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church, having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need." —Alma 1:29-30

Hel 4:12-13
12 And it was because of the ^apride of their hearts, because of their exceeding ^briches, yea, it was because of their oppression to the ^cpoor, withholding their food from the hungry, withholding their clothing from the naked, and smiting their humble brethren upon the cheek, making a ^dmock of that which was sacred, denying the spirit of prophecy and of revelation, murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery, rising up in great contentions, and deserting away into the land of Nephi, among the Lamanites—

13 And because of this their great wickedness, and their ^aboastings in their own strength, they were left in their own strength; therefore they did not prosper, but were afflicted and smitten, and driven before the Lamanites, until they had lost possession of almost all their lands.
