And Mr. Mormon said what?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

[rurallib]

1. with some noted exceptions there, itty bitty Mitty

[BlancheSplanchnik]

2. he is SUCH a DICK!

Yeccch!

[Tennessee Gal]

3. LOL! itty bitty Mitty - perfect!

[rurallib]

37. and they sent me a card says I am on the itty bitty Mitty committee

last time them dumbasses sent me a card like that they paid big time.

[Tennessee Gal]

4. Don't confuse him with facts.

He can't handle it.

[Bolo Boffin]

5. Even if you don't go Mormon, the 3000 years goes back to Abraham

who married his sister and the maid, according to the Bible.

And Jacob, who had Leah and Rachel and their maids.

Etc., etc.

[sarcasmo]

8. The Dinosaurs date back how many years?

[Bolo Boffin]

9. Oh, they go way back.

Unless you count evolving into birds, and then they'd be right here with us today.

[wial]

23. yeah but the dinosaurs were all straight

so you can't use that example.

[FailureToCommunicate]

31. Or WHERE they...

[sarcasmo]

34. :)

[thesquanderer]

43. Who knows, maybe HIV is what wiped out the dinosaurs! (n/t)

[jmowreader]

17. And I hasten to mention King Solomon

He of 300 wives and 700 concubines.

The strange thing about the "one man one woman" line the fundies like: they are talking about Adam and Eve in the Garden. According to Genesis 2.20-23, when the Lord decided to make a help meet for Adam he put Adam to sleep, surgically removed a rib and created a woman using said rib as a starting point. Now, the Lord had just spent six days creating every thing that is on the earth and every beast upon it out of nothing so he could have just clapped his hands or whatever he did and said, "here ya go!" but he started by removing bones from Adam. Therefore, Eve is Adam's sister...hence, if you want to get right down to it, Biblical Marriage according to Genesis 2 is one man and his sister just like in the redneck jokes.

[lunatica]

19. It's more like marriage is between a man and his clone

[jmowreader]

25. That too...but don't fundies just hate clones?

Has anyone gone through the Bible and counted the number of players who had single-wife marriages versus the number who had multiple-wife marriages? I gotta feeling the multiwife players outnumber the single-wife ones...which means that if all marriages have to be "Biblical" the implication is you can marry all the women you want. (The drawbacks of that stance--in particular, the need to NOT have all the children in the village fathered by three or four guys with myriad defects in their DNA--have been proven over the centuries.)

[titaniumsalute]

28. Not exactly his sister...

more like he ended up fucking himself...which I do occasionally without losing a rib.

[A Simple Game]

39. And if you are like me, without the enjoyment. n/t

[cynatnite]

6. Will someone please ask him that question? n/t

[sarcasmo]

7. When I'M dead I go to another planet, who needs wives.

[cr8tvlde]

10. Obama has the Birthers...Mitt may get the Wivers or Geneologers?

Obama's family and cultural background has been sliced, diced and ridiculed beyond belief. JFKs Catholic faith was used against him. Somehow Mitt is getting a pass because he's white? rich? Sister Wives must make some Mormons a bit uncomfortable. Obama is no more responsible for his heritage than is Mitt, but what's good for the Ds is good for the Rs.

To be exact, LDS disavowed bigamy...more than one woman/wife in 1890 AD despite their holy scriptures and founding premises...not 1,000 BC. There is an old saying about people who live in glass houses not throwing stones.

[xtraxritical]

24. He gets a pass because generally people do not care to denigrate religion.

No one speaks about Mormon polygamy, magic underwear, etc. and the fact that J. Smith was an inveterate con man who finally got himself hung in Missouri. Brigham young carried on the traditions. The Bible has at least some basis in historical accuracy.

[Iliyah]

11. You have people who truly believes

anything and everything that goppers say as gospel. I went to the store today and there was a older white male spouting that Pres O needed to be voted out because he's evil. I asked him if he knew what the Ryan plan was, and he couldn't tell me so I broke it down to him. This guys is on SSI and Medicare. I don't think he believed me.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

14. so. freakin. SAD.

these poor people who swallow this shit.

my ex was one. When he was drunk and in a rage, this sick shit would come flying out. So insane and sad.

[xtraxritical]

29. I do get fed up with the racist comments.

I am an "older white male" and I have been a progressive Democrat since 1968. I am a supporter of, and small donator, to the DNC, there are many millions more of us. You could have just said "there was an older guy, or elderly gentleman".

[JoePhilly]

12. Does that mean I can sell my daughter into marriage ... ??

They used to allow that back in the day.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

15. the Bable sez so.

Praise Jeebus.

[edcantor]

13. Still lying, I see, big surprise!

Romney lies almost every time he opens his mouth.

[crunch60]

21. When he opens his mouth to talk, it's like paint spatter, all over the place.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

22. Mitt Pollock

(sorry--not intended to besmirch Jackson Pollock and his work!! )

[obxhead]

16. Mitt, doing his best to alienate the Mormon vote!

[beac]

18. I always enjoy it when he talks about going back to the way it was

"when this country was founded." As in, BEFORE Mitty's religion was invented.

Honestly, Rmoney is not just mean, cruel, awkward and out-of-touch... he is LITERALLY too stupid to be President.

[Lochloosa]

27. No...his audience was to stupid to "get it"

[SunSeeker]

36. The stupid and the .01% are his base. nt

[crunch60]

20. So Mittens, your great-great grandpa was a stud-muffin! Kind of makes

the Newt look weak with only 3 wife's.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

38. well, at least he followed the injunctions regarding Onan......

frankly, though, seeing "Mittens" and "stud-muffin" in the same glance was something I really didn't need.....

[SoutherDem]

26. I love the double standard

The old testament is important - gays are bad
The old testament is irrelevant - 12 wives are ok (unless you are mitts Great-Great-Grandfather)
The old testament is important - capital punishment
The old testament is irrelevant - bad to eat pork

I don't understand how someone with a straight face can both acknowledge the important of the old testament and dismiss the relevance of the old testament simply if it is something they believe in or not.

Back when I was a Christian it seem I was taught that being a hypocrite was wrong.

[magical thyme]

30. it's no different than their views of science

Which is all hokum and gummint lies...except when they're sitting in a plane. Or at the hospital getting an MRI. Or eating cheetohs in front of the 'puter. Which, I guess, are magic?

[existentialist]

33. and you neglect to mention

building sophisticated and elaborate weapons systems which are undoubted confirmation of our God given superiority.

[existentialist]

32. but you didn't deal with

old testament: debts must be forgiven after seven years.

old testament: property must be redistributed every 50 years.

[SoutherDem]

35. I forgot about that those

I have been an Atheist for 6 years and a liberal Christian 12 years before that so it has been 18 years since I have had any old testament teaching.

Thanks for jogging my memory.

[malthaussen]

40. Well, how many electors really care what a candidate does?

What matters is that he says what they want to hear, yes?

-- Mal

[BlancheSplanchnik]

41. heh, yeah.

Course, it doesn't help when they don't even get a chance to hear what the candidate's character is really like.

Then, factor in the truckloads of false insinuation (and outright slander) against "the other" candidate..... ugh!

[malthaussen]

42. Well, one of the sad realities is...

... that a narcissistic psychopath is not necessarily a bad character for a ruler -- or general. Come to think, it might even be a prerequisite.

-- Mal

[libodem]

44. I'd give this 10 more

Recommends, if I could. Good one.
