Mitt Romney's Polygamy background
 

His great-grandfather had 5 wives and 30 children. That's a lot of kids!

So he left the United States for Mexico, in fear of arrest over polygamy, where he died.

Park Romney is his second cousin and speaks out about the church.

Interesting article about wacky relatives, mentions some from Obama, Kennedy, Clintons, Carter, etc...

Part of his family is still in Mexico. I wonder if they are still practicing polygamy.

Head Office in Utah really want to see Romney elected, he'll be the Mormon's man in the Whitehouse.

Matt and Trey are probably writing the episode as we speak.

Yeah, I'd place money on that being the case :1orglaugh

i like him a little more now

Good for him.

Yes they are. I believe there are 70 of them and they have a large place in Mex. Funny thing is. this ass hat wants to deport all mexicans weather they have legal status or not.

As if that cracker even stands a chance.

Obama is going to clean his clock. And I'm not an Obama supporter, but I know a future landslide victory when I see one.

The HNIC is going to pull out all the stops.

Polygamy was a great way to expand the church at an accelerated rate, smart!

Magic Underwear

His great-grandfather? That's the best they got? The author's great grandfather was likely a slave owner. The point is?

Mormon Romney believes Obama and all blacks are Cursed

I'm just curious, what's your problem with fidelity to your spouse? That's pretty much the whole underwear thing - don't take off your underwear with anyone but your spouse. That, and just a general reminder to the person that "you're trying to live right, so act like it."

mormon religion has a strange past, much of which confuses people as to what is practiced today. he will never get elected simply because of this in my opinion.

basically. its also supposed to provide 'spiritual protection' and has some freemasonry type symbols embroidered on it.

In other news,

The line of polygamists in Obama?s family can be traced back generations in western Kenya, where it was an accepted practice within the Luo (pronounced LOO-oh) tribe. His great-grandfather, Obama Opiyo, had five wives, including two who were sisters. His grandfather, Hussein Onyango, had at least four wives, one of whom, Akumu, gave birth to the president?s father, Barack Obama, before fleeing her abusive husband. Obama Sr. was already married when he left Kenya to study at the University of Hawaii, where he married again. His American wife-to-be, Stanley Ann Dunham, was not yet 18 and unaware of his marital situation when she became pregnant with his namesake son in 1961.
