2. Oh, but we have to be "good little Democrats" and not inject religion into the race

Maybe that will be the October surprise. Someone will open up and tell America what Mitt's background is.

5. Yes and don't forget

Mitt made the comment that marriage should be between "one" man and "one" women, that's the way it has "ALWAYS" been. ONE man ONE woman, not ONE man and dozens of women as many Mormons have had in the past. Did he forget about his own religions teachings from the past when he said this, or was he once again simply talking out of his butt again? Of course I guess when that's where his head is...!

7. Didn't Obama's Father have 3 wives, we might not want to go there just sayin'

For the record I don't understand why Polygamy is illegal if all parties envolved are consenting adults. Just like Gay marriage should be legal. Marital Freedom should apply to all

Bibically Joseph had two wives, Abraham and a side piece he knocked with his wife permission supposedly, so what is the rational behind polygamy being illegal. Again as long as everyone knows about each other. I know there are cases where a man has wives in different cites but if they are all ok with who cares

8. When Mittens went to visit his grandparents...

And he walked in and said "Hi, Grandma", he was addressing 5 people.

At Mittens' family reunion, when they called all of Mittens' first cousins together for a photo, they were trying to round up, like, 170 people.

Is it just Mitt, or do No Mormons feel shame for the ridiculous comments they make? I think if he is going to question the President's American-ness, we can question his religious beliefs. Screw him, and the white horse he rode in on!

11. If it was called the Cult of Racist, Homophobic, Misogynist Saints, would it be a legitimate issue?

If Romney's church was called the Cult of Racist, Homophobic, Misogynist Saints, would it be a legitimate issue for this election?

I'll retract the question as soon as you introduce me to a black lesbian Mormon preacher.

My new theory is that Mormon women are gullible, submissive, and pretty stupid. Remember that the polygamy thing began with Joseph Smith, the con man and founder of the so-called Church of Latter Day Saints, telling his wife that god told him to add another wife. For many years, the Mormons were naturally selecting women like that, and deliberately breeding them rather like rabbits. If any of the resulting baby girls didn't like it, if they were NOT gullible, NOT submissive, and especially if the were NOT stupid, they probably left the Mormon Church--even though the Mormons are VERY aggressive about preventing anyone from leaving the church.

Unless they're black or homosexual or a druggie or something like that. Of course in that case, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

12. Grandfathers of both candidates were polygamists

Probably first time that grandfathers of both candidates were polygamists.

In addition, Barack Sr was also a polygamist. He had a wife and two children when President Obama was born; later had third child by that wife and three other children by two other wives.

Always thought that was part of reason his mother took him Seattle immediately after he was born -- to get away from his father, who was abusive with all his other wives.
