Maybe I should run for President.
When the blood-letting is finished you may be all we have left. Can you tell us your positions on the major issues?


WFU—I would be interested as well. Last time I wrote in William Howard Taft and Palin (voting in Ohio, so it seemed fitting), but if Romney is the nominee, I would be happy to consider you. If worse comes to worse, there is always Bill the Cat.

Now the question is, “Was Mitt baptized for all of these ancestors?”
Oh that, and “Are Mitt’s magic underwear ‘boxers or briefs’?”

Mitt’s grandfather fled to Mexico with his 4 wives (he married a 5th there) when polygamy was ruled out by the LDS in Utah so the territory could qualify as a state.

Who was Mitt Ronmey's biological father ? I am NOT asking who was Mitt Romney's father by adoption. Again I am asking who was Mitt Romney's biological father and was his biological father a US Citizen at the time that Mitt Romney was born ?

He was adopted?

Let’s face it, Mormons are good at genealogy.

They do genealogy for all of the wrong reasons - to baptize your ancestors, my ancestors, even the ancestors of Jewish folks, into the LDS.

I’m kind of a Ron Paul guy without the nutty foreign policy.

My 8th greatgrandfather is also a direct ancestor of Teddy Roosevelt, my husband’s 7th great grandfather is the grandfather of Mary Todd Lincoln, my something something great grandfather is the grandfather of George Washington’s sister in law, and I think I’m also related to James Madison. Sad that I know all this. I need to get a live.

John Adams is the winner for descendants. Even Bill Clinton was an Adams descendant, and I'd guess 10% to 15% of Freepers are also Adams descendants.

Notice these guys are using collateral relatives ~ cousins!

Heaven Forfend!

Thanks Brown Deer. Quibble:
Although Houston resigned as Governor rather than swear allegiance to the Confederacy...
Houston refused to go along with secession, and was removed from office by his fellow Democrats.

Here’s a logic question for you ~ would it be antisemitic to restrict abortion to Jewish women?

Apropos of nothing. I am unrelated to ANY f***ing POTUS.

I couldn’t be happier.

Peronie's will keep you out.

I went to Basic Infantry Training with a company consisting of about 50/50 Brooklyn National Guard and Utah National Guard.

Mafioso and Mormons.

Never met another Mafia chil' nor a Mormon chil' during the rest of my tour of duty.

Now that didn't mean they weren't there, but the Mafia kids in my company had relatives in prison and the Mormon kids were kinda' special as well ~ I think the Church Authorities look after some people closer than others.

About the Peronies you need to ask one of them.

Not quite correct. Mitt's great-great grandfather, Miles Park Romney, moved to the polygamous LDS colonies in Mexico in 1884, before the 1890 Manifesto (which wasn't enforced by the LDS church; hence the 1904 Manifesto and the Reed Smoot hearings), but after polygamy was illegal.

Miles Park Romney was a polygamist. So was another of Mitt's great-great grandfathers, Helaman Pratt (he's from the line related the the "celestial veggie" guy, above).

Gaskil Romney, Mitt's grandfather, fled Mexico during the Mexican Revolution in 1912 (Pancho Villa wasn't a nice guy) and returned to the U.S., but Gaskil wasn't a polygamist.

Ask who about what?
