At CPAC, Mitt Romney underscored President Obama's shortcomings, describing him as a "weak president." Romney hasn't announced candidacy for the presidency of the U.S. but his CPAC speech last week officially signaled it was open season.
Amid largely insincere calls for "civil discourse" in politics, 2012 promises to be just the opposite. The Internet, a double-edged sword often wielded anonymously, carries dark messages which sometimes bubble to the media surface.
The same internet that bristles with the "news" that President Obama is a Muslim tells us that Mitt Romney wears "magic underwear." If there were such a thing, I would be a customer. You can be sure Neiman-Marcus would offer a stylish version.
We are so often counseled to be tolerant of Muslims, that our minds go blank at the notion that there may be intolerance of Jews, Mormons, Hindus, Zoroastrians and other religions. Were anyone today to disparage Muslim undergarments, there would be major condemnation from all quarters.
The U.S. Chief of Staff, Mike Mullen, could be first to speak out. Mullen reproached Americans in 2009, saying our outreach to Muslims was ineffective.
"The Muslim community is a subtle world we don't fully — and don't always attempt to — understand," said Mullen.
Could such solicitation be extended to the 'subtle' Mormon community?
A website called "Famous Mormons in Politics" shows the historical participation of members of the Church of the Latter Day Saints throughout history....

This is getting weirder and weirder. Why is he talking about underwear?
Its the special white undergarments Mormons are commanded to wear.
BTW, if you think that’s weird, wait until you hear about the cork submarines and the Planet Kolob.......
I don’t think that’s funny. I am RC and really resent it when people trash talk my religion, so I don’t appreciate it when the same thing happens to other people’s religion (with the exception of Izlam.)
IB4PD!
Here I thought it was depends.
The underwear isn’t a problem for most. If Glenn Beck or Bay Buchanan could win, most Freepers would have no problem voting for them on a national ticket. Harry Reid or anybody named Udall or Romney? Not so much.
IS THIS ALL WE ARE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT UNTIL 2012?
Now, I might be interested in this wishy washy
RINO, ineligible Presidental candidate
depending upon the alleged magical powers available
from Mitt Romney’s “Magic Underwear”.
Are they really “Magic”?
What powers do they give?
Will they protect the US military?
Did they make his RomneyCARE “invisible”?
Did they have a role in his fake endorsements,
his dog abuse, or his sore-loser attacks
on Gov. Palin on the eve of Election 2008
made through his menagerie of agents and RomneyBOTs?
I tend to agree with you, but Mormonism is a century old confidence scheme founded by a convicted swindler.
They do have a terrific choir, though.
Quite frankly I don’t care if he wears boxers, briefs or magic underwear, I do not want him for President. You do not hear Palin or Bachmannn’s undergarments being discussed and I don’t think you will, they stick to important subjects.
“Should it disqualify?”
No, of course not.
“Will 9 weeks of MSM concentration on the whole LDS phenomenon cause a candidate to lose?”
You betcha.
Great Post. Illustrates your point well.
Because his name is Mitt Magic Underwear Romney
Magic underwear didn’t disqualify Steve Young in his Super Bowl win, so I guess it’s OK.
That’s probably the only thing they haven’t delved into and criticized about Governor Palin. They were going through her trash, hacking her e-mails, filing false ethics complaints and even assigned a leftist hack writer to live NEXT DOOR to her for a whole Summer!! The flak is heaviest over the target area.
