Well, let's see...Joseph Smith coerced a 14 yo into "marrying" him...

Warren Jeffs essentially did the same thing...only more and younger...

All in the name of the same Mormon god...

Don't give us any spiel that Mormon mainstreamers are all that distinct from fundamentalist Mormons...They all are obeying the same Mormon god giving the same Mormon "revelation" -- Doctrine & Covenants 132 -- which no Mormon group has taken off "the books."

All of the Mormon groups recognize and claim they practice eternal polygamy. If you get married in the mainstream Mormon temple to more than one wife (sequentially, like when you are a widower), the expectation is that you'll become an eternal polygamist upon death.

So who are mainstream Mormons to frown on -- and look down on -- Mormon polygamists who are just practicing their polygamy a wee bit earlier than general authorities and others in the mainstream Mormon church?

Besides...mainstream Mormons believe ALL their early leaders -- all those polygamous Mormon "prophets" who practiced polygamy until their very first monogamous "prophet" (not til 1945) ... are all STILL practicing polygamists in the celestial kingdom.

Can you say Mormon ambiguity??? Mormon duplicity? Mormon PRism on the one hand -- and wink-wink, nod-nod -- on the other?

No one can say we didn't warn them. The Obama machine is just getting started on all the various sects of mormonism....And defeating Mitt by shaming Christians into not voting for him will be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.

I for one hope that no Christian will vote for Romney, as he is a Baal and Jupiter worshipping cult leader, and such a vote would be "Having another god before God."

Romney is to 2012 America as King Ahab was to ancient Isreal, except that WE AS A NATION MIGHT ELECT ROMNEY....And if we mock and anger God by doing that, who will we pray to for mercy during his judgement ?

And Barack Hussein Obama is an Islamist who’s god married a 6 year old and fornicated with her before she turned 10.

A mormon presidential candidate wins over an Islamist. And Barack’s foreign policy has been decidedly pro-Islamist.

Where in the Hell does NASA’s mission statement include making muslims feel better about their contributions to culture and science? Because they worship a moon god?

14 year olds marrying in the pioneer west in the 1800’s is not as unusual as it is today. IMO, you can’t compare the two.

9 year (as in the Islamic practice) are a completely different story!
