Joseph Smith Jr. ran for President too.
Didn't get very far.
I know I'm ultra paranoid, but I think these attacks are not aimed at Mitt. I think the purpose is to put religious background on the table. If it's out there and can be talked about, then Obama becomes more vulnerable. Hillary benefits.
So that's it? That's all the dirt they can dig on
Mitt? Sounds like good Presidential material to me.
If the drive by media are against it, them I'm for it.
I disagree. I think the libs see Romney as a real threat to them in a general election. They see him as taking middle voters in a tight election in a way that Giuliani can't and someone like Duncan Hunter or Gingrich will never be able to.
A Lewinsky in the Oval Office = Good!
And what about Senate Mormon Leader Harry Reid's family tree? How many Great Grandma's did Harry have?
Romney is clearly a multi-generational flip flopper. :~)
I remember reading that after Obama's father went back to Africa he had multiple wives.
Bingo! From the Senator's own website...

"His father died in a car crash in 1982, leaving three wives, six sons and a daughter."
Rush addressed this subject today. He noted that fat slob Ted Kennedy's FATHER was a Nazi sympathizer and that FDR had to recall him from his post as ambassador to the Court of St. James. Not much reaction from the DBM for this little gem.
You're right. Talking about past polygamy is an effort to hurt Mitt, and I overspoke when I said it was not. However, attacking a candidate for the actions of his great-great-grandfather is an exceptionally weak attack. But, since we're on the subject ... let's talk about the wisdom of voting for Barack Hussein Obama.
I continue to believe that the polygamy attack does double duty.
Dingy Harry, leader of the Demonrats and a pro-life Mormon, is never exposed to the the polygamy innuendo from the rabid Marxists in the so-called "corporate" media newsrooms.
Gee, I wonder why.
hehe so true. Well put.
ping
1982 huh. Let's see that means Obama was 20 when his polygamist father died. Didn't have to go very far back in that tree now did we.
Just Google obama father wives and Voila!
From Bookblog...
"It turns out that Obama's father had a wife and children in Africa before coming to Hawaii. Barack Senior met yet a third woman at Harvard, who moved to Africa and raised several more children in the extended Obama family. Barack senior is smart and ambitious, and initially successful. But he runs afoul of the Kenyan dictatorship in his arrogance and naivete, loses his job and is blacklisted. Unemployed and broke, he turns to alcohol and delusions of grandeur, while his children raise themselves. He is rehabilitated later by a new regime, but the damage he has done to his family leaves ongoing bitterness after his death."
Obama's dad was a bigamist was Romney's?
I have come to believe, based on what I know firsthand about where "news stories" come from, that the Romney campaign is trying to get all this stuff on the table now - long before it could have an impact. In other words, Mitt and his team are "leaking" this to the press now so it won't harm him later.
