As the GOP was starting to ramp up their political machine earlier this year, Broadsided was joined by Conservative pundit, Tricia Erickson. Now that Willard is the presumptive GOP nominee, Carol and Vicki have invited her back to take a serious look at his beliefs. Tricia is the author of “Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters-The Mormon Church Versus The Office of the Presidency of The United States”, she is a former Mormon and the daughter of a Mormon Bishop – and she has a lot to say on the topic of Willard “Mitt” Romney and why he’s not fit to be President of the United States. While most of us concern ourselves with his public policy, Tricia is far more concerned with Mr. Romney’s religious beliefs, and she’ll openly share with us why those are far more dangerous than any public policy to which he may adhere.
Also joining the show is Coastal Carolina University Professor Paul Peterson, who teaches many political science and government courses. He is a Mormon and firmly believes Mitt Romney is the best man, the only man, to take the Presidency.
So please join Carol, Vicki, and the famous chat line as both sides present their views on Mitt Romney’s ability, or lack there-of, to serve his God and our country.
So, buckle up! It’s time to get BROADSIDED!

Anyone would be thrilled and delighted to have this man as a friend or supporter. He is founder of The Open Society Foundations.
The Open Society Foundations work to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. To achieve this mission, the Foundations seek to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights. On a local level, the Open Society Foundations implement a range of initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. At the same time, we build alliances across borders and continents on issues such as corruption and freedom of information. The Foundations place a high priority on protecting and improving the lives of people in marginalized communities. Investor and philanthropist George Soros established the Open Society Foundations, starting in 1984, to help countries make the transition from communism. Our activities have grown to encompass the United States and more than 70 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Each foundation relies on the expertise of boards composed of eminent citizens who determine individual agendas based on local priorities.
I was disgusted when Glenn Beck took a page from the old Jew-Bashing anti-Semitic piece of trash, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and used it on Soros…the “puppet master” crap was enough to make any Jew vomit, and any Nazi proud.
Philanthropy? Democracy? Safeguarding fundamental rights? You people sound dangerous (to the GOP). I’ve long been an admirer of George Soros. Unlike the Koch Brothers and the rest of the John Birch Society crowd, he seems genuinely interested in making a better world for others. The moment any Progressive gets a dime from him, suddenly, big money donors are evil and money is no longer speech. His contributions to political campaigns in the US pale in comparison to the Koch Brothers. Between 1979 and 2011, Soros gave away over $8 billion to human rights, public health, and education causes. The one thing the Right can’t stand are all of the people getting equal access to education. Educated people are much harder to control. Healthy people are much stronger and able to fight back. They demand things like human rights and civil rights and equal protection under the law – all things the Koch Brothers and their benefactors have worked hard to decimate. And the Right has the nards to draw some sort of false equivalency and refer to Soros as President Obama’s puppet master. I saw the Beck attacks and you’re right, they were disgusting.
Mr. Childs, I’ve wasted the last hour trying to find credible evidence that George Sorors is President Obama’s massa. See plenty of Right-wing blogs, plenty of sources where nothing can be fact-checked. Can you help me out with something other than supposition or innuendo? You seem to know so much about it. You speak with such authority on the subject.
I will not be at the computer during this time – and wanted to add – Yesterday will go down in history as one of the great civil rights events!
Oh, goody!! I want to hear this one but have to work. Guess I will catch it in the archives. Can we talk about PRESIDENT Obama’s masters next week?
President Obama’s masters? Sure, Mr. Childs. We’ll be happy to. You just tell me who they are and I’ll get right on it.
There are so many Carol that it would be time prohibitive for y’all to cover them all. I suppose a good starting place would be George Soros. Take your pick from there. Any of the special interest groups he promised not to have in his not so transparent administration would suffice.
