Park Romney says some pretty wild things.
Mormonism, he writes on the Web site parkromney.com, “is an insidious contemporary fraud.”
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is “an American cult,” he professes.
Mitt Romney, he claims, would be conflicted in office because “obedience to the leadership of the Mormon Church is part of the covenant of the temple ordinances to which Mitt Romney is absolutely a party.”
Were you to come across a man articulating such views on a street corner, you probably would give him a wide berth and look over your shoulder to make sure he wasn’t following you.
But Park Romney, apostate Mormon, is no street-corner eccentric. He is Mitt Romney’s second cousin. Church documents and archival research done by The Post’s Lucy Shackelford trace Park’s lineage to Miles Park Romney, who is also Mitt’s great-grandfather.
The two men have never met. (Miles Park Romney had 30 children, which means Mitt Romney has scores of cousins.) And, based on what Park has been writing, he’s not likely to get a dinner invitation from Mitt anytime soon. “Gov. Romney has never heard of this person, and he doesn’t know him,” campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said....

:) TY.
Really you could back off a minute and take a breath, you are being a little harsh on people who are not disagreeing with you.
Really Charles? Even on something this minor, you have to show up to defend Romney?
I admit it was a bit rude, I apologize to Reaganaut for that, but I am so tired of Romney and mormonism I could scream.
I left out the second part. And to bash Newt Gingrich?
Lord spare us from the romneybots.
You are most welcome!
See post 64 ansel
And me?
Gotcha. Now let’s deal with the romneybots.
Okay You scream. We’ll hurl. LOL
ROFL
I can’t stand the fact that Romney now says he’s pro-life but way back when he was pro-choice. The man is a disgusting liar and I pray he doesn’t make president. Our country has already been thru hell, we don’t need a sequel.
Right. Obama redux. Romney:Liberal Hell Part Two!
Gotcha. Now let’s deal with the romneybots./
Let’s roll!
And me?/ Love you too ansel...:)
We have a ‘60’ retread, if you know what I mean...
OH OH!
I am just learning about all this!
Some superpac in Napa or Hollywood will spend $25mil on majic underwear and inter-planetary colonization. We'll probably see an CBS special on the tenets of Mormonism and it's priesthood.
Right or wrong it's likely.
News Media will have far less influence in this election cycle than any time since the beginning of the TV era.
It's all about superpacs saying anything they damn well please whether fair or accurate. It'll be a political bloodbath.
We recently witnessed a slight flex of the GOP machine, but don't doubt the dims have a big one too.
Night. :-)
It is worse than you know, Romney has campaigned on the fact that his entire family became pro-abortion in 1963.
The Romneys have been a dedicated pro-abortion family for many decades, we don’t know if his wife was already already pro-abortion as a teen, or if the Romneys converted her. Mitt tells us that his mother was courageous for being a pro-abortion Senate candidate in 1970.
Those Romneys are sure ahead of the crowd when it comes to being brutally hard left.
I do understand about being sick of Romney and the ‘mormon question’. Our best hope is to make sure Romney doesn’t get the nom or we will be inundated with Mormonism until November.
Go ahead and scream. I understand.
