What do Huntsman, Santorum, and Romney have in common besides running for the Rethug nomination?

They each have 7 children. Ron Paul and Michelle Bachmann have 5 each.

Kind of mind boggling.

1. Every sperm is sacred.

2. Here's something, at least as far as Huntsman and Romney are concerned....

in a perfect Mormon world, those numbers would be raised by a multiplier corresponding to their net worth. -> more wives, more children. It's not unlike Muslim precepts, A man is OBLIGATED to wed and procreate according to his station and financial ability.

6. Mormons haven't practiced Polygamy since 1890

and here's a recent quote from the leader of their faith:

“This Church has nothing whatever to do with those practicing polygamy. They are not members of this Church.... If any of our members are found to be practicing plural marriage, they are excommunicated, the most serious penalty the Church can impose. Not only are those so involved in direct violation of the civil law, they are in violation of the law of this Church.”

So what "perfect Mormon world" are you talking about?
