Default Mitt Romney, Game Show Host

Mormonism aside...Is America ready for a metrosexual candidate from Massachusetts?..Like his opponent, Rudy "Giuli-Ani Grab Our Guns", he too wants to scrap the 2nd Amendment and has worked long and hard to promulgate civil unions between gays...

How would civil unions work with polygamy assuming it was legal...And if gay marriage were legal why not bring back polygamy...What the heck...You could hang out in the wilderness, sire dozens of kids, and create your own precincts...How would polygamy or multiple spouses work with same-sex arrangements..? What would they call it?..Now there's a campaign issue that could, if skillfully implemented, supplant the polygamy issue surrounding Mitt Romney...

Incidentally when , if ever, has polygamy become a
issue in national politics...When will Obama's childhood Muslim
upbringing be touted as a campaign issue..? Will voodoo be next..?

Q: Mr Romney do you know or have you ever been affiliated
with polygamist or any polygamist organization?
A: Uh....
Q: What did these polygamist know and when did they know it?
...Mr Romney, I'm prepared to wait for an answer until hell freezes over...
Q: Have you ever practiced polygamy?
A: Just once...but I...I was sent to counseling...



Romney Quote:

"as we seek to establish full equality
for America's gay and lesbian citizens,
I will provide more effective leadership
than my opponent."


(10.17.94...Boston Globe)
(Note: Ted Kennedy was his opponent)


Another Mitt-i-gation:

“I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country.”
Old News:

In 2005, Human Events Magazine named Mitt Romney as one of
America's Top Ten RINO's (Republican In Name Only)...
We yearn for Presidential candidates that actually stood for something:

JFK, Nixon, and Reagan...Others that preceded or followed
were as midgets on the shoulders of the great..

They were Men!...

Iconized or despised one immutable fact remains: they were for
real battle-hardened Cold Warriors that gave us the biggest stick on the block...

And because of them our country was never so strong and may never be again...

Is their still time?.. Still room for greatness..?

Still time for a reach-back to a past once taken for granted now
slipping away..

Most of us knew Jack, Dick, and Ron...We called them by their first names..

We knew of their foibles and achievements...
Can a country that produced such men allow an
Obama, Hillary, Rudy, or Mitt to take their old jobs...

I don't consider him metrosexual, he's just a Ken-clone.

Oh, hell no, I lived in Utah for 10 years.

I'd vote for Obama or McCain.

Fine by me. I can't think of a single reason why your marital status is any of my concern. Or more to the point, how your marital status affects me in any way whatsoever. Marry a dude. Who cares? Marry 4 chicks. Stupid thing to do, but knock yourself out. Very few things have less of an impact on my life.

I had this very same conversation on a date last night. I see no reason why polygamy shouldn't be legal between consenting adults.

Not that I was proposing it, mind you.

It's quite Ignorant to assume every Mormon believes in polygamy, but if you insist we must also take in account that the Christians on the campaign, by your assumptions, must believe in the Christian creation story, and as an ex-Christian that means they don't believe in the dinosaurs and as well from my readings they believe 1 male and 1 female populated the earth, which by having only TWO children both male, Christians believe in incest.

Lol, you said, "Most of us knew Jack, Dick, and Ron...We called them by their first names.." then followed it with "Can a country that produced such men..." To me you were implying that Jack, Dick, and Ron were great presidents, so great in fact we did not call them by their last name such as "Bush" or "Clinton" they got the special "Pet names" almost but the funny thing you go on to state "Obama, Hillary, Rudy, or Mitt to take their old jobs..." Why not Romney? You used "Mitt" do you feel deep in your heart that he has a connection with them? As well, these presidents were not FANTASTIC One was shot and killed, another was basically run out of office and another was shot. So these men were very inspirational but as you can see not everyone approved especially those who hide in grassy knolls.

Didn't work out with the chef? (Not that I'm prying). There's no way in hell I'd marry two women. Nor, by the way, would two women be stupid enough to marry me. But if consenting adults want to do it, I really don't see how it impacts anyone else. So what's the big deal? I truly don't get it.
