Compassionate And Caring
He doesn't make a show of it at all and doesn't try to curry favor from it - and is quite humble about it, but he very highly values (and acts in accordance) compassion and helping those who really need it.
Washington, D.C.; October 3, 2006 -- The National Association of Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) today announced that Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has won the Claude D. Pepper Award for accomplishments in public service and private enterprise.
"History judges societies by how they treat their most vulnerable populations - the elderly, the disabled, and young people with life threatening diseases," said NAHC President Val J. Halamandaris. "Through his outstanding leadership, Governor Romney has helped lift the burden for many, both in his state and across the nation. Mitt Romney exemplifies caring and compassion in his approach to health care, and we are pleased to honor him with our highest award," Halamandaris added.
Gov. Romney has advanced the public acceptance of home care through his leadership in the National Governors Association, led a bipartisan effort to deliver affordable health care insurance to all uninsured citizens of Massachusetts, and recently developed a program to bring more home care services to people in his state. Modern Healthcare magazine placed Gov. Romney thirteenth on its list of the 100 Most Powerful in healthcare for 2006.

If he has no monetary motive and could just live his life well without the hassle of being President, then he must have a "reason" - and that reason is based on his decided life's purpose: to
The reality is that corporatist like Mitt Romney don't care about 99%
Mormonism is Christian
In an article, of obvious bias:
"Clearly, [Rick] Warren doesn't KNOW or doesn't WANT to identify Mormonism as non-Christian." It would be more appropriate to have inserted in the place of Mormonism the actual name of the church: The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints.
It would appear that the author of the quoted statement represents the opposite of what is good about religion: suppression, lack of reasoning, etc. and etc.
Kinda sad.
