Don't agree with Mormonism, fine, but let's try to keep the facts straight.
Brigham Young instituted polygamy he said after divine revelation, after the pioneers had trekked to SLC and thousands of the men (including Joseph Smith) had been murdered or jailed by so called good Christians.
Joseph Smith had 1 wife, Emma, not 15 as the article says. We Mormons, really try to live our religion, and therefore do not bear false witness against our neighbors...unlike some of our otherwise good Christian brothers and sisters when they are speaking of us.
On another note, I believe that only two types of people live in Massachusetts, the wicked wealthy, and those who chose to raise their families in their presence. I don't believe I could vote for Romney.

I think we can all find common ground that we won't be supporting McCain in 2008.

Romney is actually a good guy.
The political reality is that the Massachusetts legislature has almost total control and the Governor is largely a ceremonial position especially when the seat is held by a Republican which it has been for going on 20 years. Romney has had vetoes overridden several times (I'd bet it is a record nbr. but I do not have the time to look up the info.) by the liberal hacks on Be-A-Con Hill in Boston.
I do not think that Romney is really a RINO. Around here he is often referred to as a right wing extremist. That is hardly the case. Romney is not nearly the RINO type as say Chafee, or Snowe and a host of others.

Actually, Joseph Smith instituted polygamy and had more wives than Emma. I thought all Mormons knew that.

but let's try to keep the facts straight. Yes lets keep the facts straight.
Joseph Smith died like he lived. leading a mob or running from one. He also shot back, no lamb to the slaughter, he shot three and killed two of the mob. I like that part.

Interesting sidenote. I'm from Nashville, Tn. and about twenty miles west of Nashville there's a historical marker denoting the massacre of a group of Mormons. I had no idea there were Mormons in Tennessee in the 1800's.
