Park Romney says some pretty wild things.
Mormonism, he writes on the Web site parkromney.com, “is an insidious contemporary fraud.”
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is “an American cult,” he professes.
Mitt Romney, he claims, would be conflicted in office because “obedience to the leadership of the Mormon Church is part of the covenant of the temple ordinances to which Mitt Romney is absolutely a party.”
Were you to come across a man articulating such views on a street corner, you probably would give him a wide berth and look over your shoulder to make sure he wasn’t following you.
But Park Romney, apostate Mormon, is no street-corner eccentric. He is Mitt Romney’s second cousin. Church documents and archival research done by The Post’s Lucy Shackelford trace Park’s lineage to Miles Park Romney, who is also Mitt’s great-grandfather.
The two men have never met. (Miles Park Romney had 30 children, which means Mitt Romney has scores of cousins.) And, based on what Park has been writing, he’s not likely to get a dinner invitation from Mitt anytime soon. “Gov. Romney has never heard of this person, and he doesn’t know him,” campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said....

Better ping myself or I’ll never find this again.
I miss most of my pings during FReepathons.
If you have questions the person to ask is reaganaut.
Always at your service, along with the rest of FR’s Flying Inmans. Collectively we are encyclopedias of Mormonism.
I'm calling it a night.
Have a wonderful evening!
Night, sleep well. I’m a bachleorette for a few weeks (MrR is in CA taking care of his parents), so I’ll be up late playing video games as a reward for working hard today. :)
I have been nibbling at the Secret Service issue and Bishop Romney a little bit, if he became President.
Maybe we should mention the Danites to the Ron Paul crowd, they could have fun with that conspiracy theory.
I wish I could scream. I’ll have to wait until my neighbors go to work or they’ll think I’m being murdered.
Romney must not win. I am sending the video I posted earlier to a variety of people. I think Christians and Catholics have to see what this person is, a liar.
Ditto DJ’s remarks. We’re quick study’s.
I’ll tell you good night on the FReepathon thread.
Yeah, I remember Billy Carter and Billy Beer. It seems to be the substance of campaigns now. The divide is so wide we can only talk trivia while the country disintegrates.
Child molesting garbage.
Welcome to the LDS. !4 year old girls with 2 kids.
These bastards are no worse than muslims.
If that is true, then it means his entire "tough" immigration stances, support for "attrition by enforcement", "self-deportation", the AZ and AL laws, border security, etc. is all LIES. Because the LDS is now 100% promoting blanket amnesty for illegal aliens. Why. Because (1) Whites (like Park Romney) are deserting the cult in droves, and (2) A staggering 70% of all new converts to LDS in Utah are illegal aliens.
I wonder if mittens thread posters should include [Bishop] in the title.
I didn’t defend Romney. In fact, isn’t this cousin actually one of the good guys?
And my point was that the other candidates shouldn’t be judged by their relatives. Do you think they should be? Or can’t we discuss that because Mitt Romney is in the race?
Surely nobody at FreeRepublic is going to think better of Mitt Romney because I say the conservative candidates should not be judged by family members who disagree with them, right? If someone attacks Romney because he is white, are we not supposed to notice that our other candidates are white?
(2) A staggering 70% of all new converts to LDS in Utah are illegal aliens.
Get ready for Romney Cola
This has nothing to do with any of that, this is about a high ranking member of a cult who is running for president, from one of the victims of the cult.
This isn’t Billy Beer.
I’m much more put off by Romney’s politics and disingenuous campaign pandering to conservatives than by his religion.
I would have thought the smile on the 1st line would make it clear, even to people looking for trouble, that I was pointing out the conservative candidates should not be rejected because they have someone from their past that doesn’t like them. Hence my comparison between Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, and Rick Santorum.
And yes, a snarky comment about a specific Gingrich supporter.
I’ll tell you what. I apologize for that. I’m going to try to expect the best from Gingrich supporters for a day, and see what happens. Maybe we can all get along.
Are you NOT LISTENING? Romney is a BISHOP, not just a member of the LDS cult which is actively converting illegal aliens into their cult.
No wonder team zero sent Dana Milbank out with the first cannonball today.
