Oh, good grief. I guess you stand squarely in the basher camp.

Have you visited (or heard of) southwest Utah/Northern AZ border area? Colorado City? Hildale, Utah? Short Creek? Or how about certain small communities in British Columbia or Mexico or a small new start-up in Texas--all where polygamous communities reside, and all who would tell you they are followers of the Book of Mormon.

Some of these folks even live in other parts of Utah and other states, though living covertly as polygamous families.

So, I because I point out "reality" I am a basher? Because you assume none of the U.S. residents would run for higher public office, they're "invisible" and should remain that way?

We have had judges disbarred, and law officials fired in Utah THIS YEAR for holding public office while plurally married.

In Utah, we are accustomed to polygamists running for office...it really isn’t a far stretch of the imagination as you might assume.

You know as well as I do those Colorado City polygamists are a tiny minority and are not accepted by the mainstream LDS churches. The threat of polygamy being established in the U.S. is much greater from the gay rights and polyamory people than those nutburgers.

So, since Jim Jones professed to be a Christian, are you going to refuse to vote for Christian candidates?
