For the first time America has two Mormon candidates for president, Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman, which has drawn the media’s attention to how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has managed to churn out some of the country’s top business and political leaders.

The spotlight has turned on the Mormons’ Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah, which sends out more than 50,000 Mormon graduates around the world at any given moment. Recent media reports say almost all Mormons who have excelled in business and public life have been trained at MTC.

I have reservations that either one of these candidates have our best interest at heart. What Romney did in Massachusetts and the fact that China loves Huntsman raise red flags for me.

Really? Ha. Ha. I would guess that every person running for president thinks that they are doing the right thing for American and her citizens. Now, you may disagree with what you think is right for America (a candidate that didn't live in MA, and is hated by China), but your criteria would mean very little to anyone, well ... everyone but yourself.
