The LDS church sends an elder and a newbie together on missions. The elder may be just a year or two older. They go out to sell the faith.

I expect that if Mitt's mission was to France, he'd have had time to acquire the language.

That type of remark is typical of the crap Republicans do in political campaigns; they even do it to each other. Certainly not their finest hour.

And that's precisely why they will not form the government until at least 2020, at which time they may interpret the numbers as a sign from the heavens telling them to take a good look at themselves, hindsight being what it is.
