Whether it’s true or not, this is the garbage we will have to put up with in the fall if Romney is the nominee. How do you begin to defend against this kind of thing? This line of attacks will chop Romney down another 10 points by November. I will definitely vote for Mitt come Election Day, but I am not happy about having to defend religious weirdness.
I suppose I could argue that Mitt grew up in it, he’s a person of deep loyalty, etc., ......help!
People will go out of the way to cast dirt on the LDS church, so far as to work the system within the church to arrange smutty associations then step outside and claim the work was an honest and legitimate intention of misguided members. It’s kind of like sabotage, Those doing it are turning around and denouncing it. LDS church policy is to keep a lid on it, and excommunicate those intentionally responsible. It’s been as simple as getting a gullible person to take a dubious ordinance request to the temple and submit it.
