(234 posts)and we can watch him continue to self-destruct over the next few weeks. If I were Mitt, I'd be miserable having to face the mess I created every day, but he's just enough of a sociopath not to mind.

(21,046 posts)I cannot believe that a Mormon with that much money does not have multiple wives and children. Even the poor ones seem to have multiple wives--I've seen a tiny bit of the show Sister Wives and that was enough for me to get sick of watching it.
I knew there was a man shortage out there, but this is ridiculous......

(13,992 posts)The mainstream Mormon church does NOT practice polygamy, any more than mainstream Christian churches practice snake-handling.
There are lots of good Democrats who are Mormon. Let's not insult them just to bash Romney.

(13,992 posts)The Mormon Church has been pretty clear on this subject. Look it up.
On the Road
(20,783 posts)In 1904, LDS President Joseph F. Smith's Second Manifesto stated that any person solemnizing or entering a plural marriage would be excommunicated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_polygamy#1904_second_manifesto_banning_plural_marriage
Polygamy was not immediately and completely extinguished. Some instances were uncovered of mainstream Mormons who entered into multiple marriages after 1904. Some groups of Mormons did not accept the change in church policy and created splinter groups.
The point you were responding to however, was well taken. It would be unthinkable today for anyone in Romney's position of influence to have a secret second wife. He should no more be suspected of that than we would suspect Harry Reid of secret polygamy or Mike Huckabee of secret snake-handling.

(487 posts)Why would you see polygamy as an insult? My two ladys would be offended by that remark. And there are kids out of wedlock all over the place, Ryan is one of them.

(2,711 posts)Is there anything embarassing we should know about?
No.
After his wife claims he wanted her to have sex with other men in sex clubs (in divorce filings) . . . .
Oh, that's what you meant by embarrassing? I thought you meant lieing to start an unjustified war, killing tens of thousands of innocent children, destroying water and electricity service to uninvolve civilians, all in the name of . . . .what was it in the name of again?
From my 06 comedy routine.

Better than Obama's real Kenyan birth certificate?
The whitey tape?
The "happy giddy dance"?
Fitzmas?
These kinds of announcements are annoying. When the goods are posted, and if the goods are good, then that'll be something.

(23 posts)Its already awesome that from this point on, throughout history, Mitt Romneys Presidential bid will forever be linked with Honey Boo Boo in the history books! Ironic isn't it? That has to really chap his ass I'm sure!
Hello everyone! I'm so glad I found this site! Cant believe I haven't been here before!

(8,217 posts)Because it comes from Larry Flynt it will more likely than not be dismissed.
Kinda like how they say Bush had forced his ex girlfriend to have an abortion.
Of course, I am curious what this is though.

(228 posts)all I want to see is 2009. Well, OK, I want to see them all but that year would be the killer I think.
No Flint fan but he did bust Newt's Speaker replacement. Livingston was his name I believe.
And, sorry to show my age, but the fans today that make millionaires of the likes of that girl astound me. Truly.

I'll bet $500 it is nothing. We've seen this before many times.
