GREEN BAY, Wis. - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney faced a tough question about his Mormon faith while campaigning for Tuesday's Wisconsin primary.
A Ron Paul supporter asked Romney whether he agreed with a passage from the Book of Mormon that describes a cursing of people with a "skin of blackness." Romney's staff took the microphone away from the 28-year-old Green Bay man before he could read the passage.

Look out for the Paulbots...they’re everywhere..lol. Romney was a tad shocked.
And they are just getting started.
They are going to scream “RACISM” from the Atlantic to the Pacific for the next eight months. Get used to it.
THEY HAVE NOTHING TO RUN ON! Nothing...not one single thing.
They will campaign on the following basis:
1. Republicans are racist.
2. Republicans are anti-women
3. Republicans are rich elitists.
If Romney plays defense on this stuff, he loses.
It’s all about THE ECONOMY! Get it Mitt?
Obama would defeat Romney with that passage
Romney should have answered the question..Newt would have responded.
Obama would defeat Romney with that passage
Obama would defeat Romney with that passage
The Federal Government and the President specifically is tasked with dealing with citizen's personal problems. Holy..............
The fix is in. How many times do we have to get skunked? Dole, McCain, Bush. Even when we win we lose.
Ooooh...grabbing the micro-phone so no one finds out how
looney Mormonism truly is, when is Romney going to be
vetted? It will be too late after the Convention.
They are also going to equate Mormonism with Christianity and then run on:
4. Christians(Mormons)want to run your life.
5. Christians(Mormons)hate gays.
6. Christians(Mormons)want to monitor your bedroom.
After they have spent time equating Mormonism with Christianity they will then start picking at the foibles of the Mormon faith as above. They will want the average voter to scream, "A Pox on all their houses. I guess Obama ain't so bad after all."

Weak answer to a question that will be brought up again. I don’t know if the book of mormon says that or not but the Bishop sure as heck should know
Does he believe the passage in the Book of Mormon that says if you are not Mormon you are in the church of the devil?
“there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth” (1 Ne. 14:10-11).
The problem Mormons run into is their prophets are supposed to be infallible and get direct revelation from God.
WHat do you do when so many infallible prophets in the past have gone along with the Mormon teachings about black people and why their skin is dark?
It wasn’t even until the 1970s they let blacks into the Temples (it’s not like you just go there and they let you in) for their secret ceremonies. When BYU figured out blacks could play basketball for them, that’s when the current infallible prophets started to backpedal away from the prior infallible prophets on all that old black people racist crap that existed in the Mormon teachings.
Newt Gingrich would have simply said, ok, what is the mark of Cain? That should have at least silenced the person asking the question since the general thought of society until a few decades ago was that black skin was the mark of Cain.
Often the answer isn’t nearly as important as the question.
How could he have gotten this far?
We might as well have a Halfrican American Muslim running...wait, we already do.
He should have been ready with an answer SIX YEARS AGO. If he and his campaign hasn’t prepared themselves for this, they are way too stupid to be trusted with the presidency.
Romney should have answered the question..Newt would have responded.
