And Then? The Wheels Came Off...

Mia Love was looking pretty good recently.  One poll actually had her ahead.  She's an attractive, articulate woman.  And her negative ads were just as nasty and hard hitting as Jim Matheson's.

Then?  The wheels came off.

If you are the right wing, Republican, MORMON candidate?  A teabagger to boot.  With a shot at being the first BLACK, MORMON, WOMAN elected to national office from Utah, which would be a total public relations BCS Bowl Game win for the Mormon church (lets face it, their college football team is never, ever going to get one).  And the Mormon's own newspaper's political columnist comes out and calls you a liar?

Someone get that fork out of Mrs. Loves butt cheek.  She's done.

If you think for even a minute, the publishing of Lee Benson's article was not run through the highest channels of Mormonism before it ever saw print?  You don't live in Utah.  Or you're smoking crack.

This was a very carefully timed and calculated move by, The Mormon Church Inc. to keep, Jim Matheson in office.  They might not like everything that he does, but let's face it.  He votes for their interests most of the time.  Which is why I, and every other Democrat in Utah has to hold their nose and vote for him.  We don't have any other choice.

In a year where they have a shot to actually have a Mormon win the White House (won't happen, but they still think it's a possibility), they don't need this distraction, so it's time to put an end to Mia Love's campaign.

A friend of mine said he had looked her up on the Internet and she had run a gym and worked for a call center, but other than that, there was not a lot of information about her.  Well, there is even less now, cause my brief Internet search turned up even less information than that.

She worked as a flight attendant for Continental Airlines after earning a degree from The University of Hartford, according to her campaign site.  But other than that?  Looks like she worked in government in the little, Mormon bunker that is, Saratoga Springs in the west desert, while raising her family.

There is no information about what her husband does, or what other jobs she's had.

Now, having said that?  It could change tomorrow.

But to have, of all people, Lee Benson put the fork in you?  Man, that's got to be tough to take.  It means your own church doesn't want you to distract from the Romney shot at the Presidency.  And it has to hurt that they think you're a distraction from the real goal.  Getting the rich, white, Mormon, Man, and Priesthood holder, elected.

Mia probably doesn't LOVE this.

I went to the link to the article in, Mother Jones and the hate was crazy.  Mormons and Republicans were hating on this venerable news source like you wouldn't believe.  "No one ever heard of that rag until they released the Romney video!"

No, those of us who went to REAL universities started reading it about the time we all were reading, The National Lampoon.  And if I have to tell you about either one of those?  You're really young, or you went to school in Provo.  Hell, even in Murray, The National Lampoon was kept UNDER THE COUNTER at the 7-11.  And you had to go to, Cosmic Airplane or the University Book Store to buy, Mother Jones.

So, good bye, Mia, it's been good to know ya.  But your church decided to sacrifice you, to try to save Romney.

It's not going to work.  But you're still going to be a member.  So they don't really care about you.
