Since Romney isn’t a polygamist himself, and he’s disavowed the practice, this information doesn’t seem like it would warrant an article...if the press is so interested in political figures with multiple sex partners, you'd think they'd produce better copy by going after the likes of Bill C. and JFK - at least polygamists acted in accordance with the values of their religion and the law as it was written at the time.......

And what about Senate Mormon Leader Harry Reid's family tree? How many Great Grandma's did Harry have?

Reid converted to Mormonism when he was a young man. No Mormon family history.

"Funny how taboo the press makes of a man having more than one wife."

Or for a sitting President to have a "wife" as well as one or more mistresses.

According to the news pukes reasoning, I'm in deep crap. My Great Grand Father shot his banker deader than a beaver hat and was no-billed by a county grand jury. Does that mean the bankers should boycott me and not do business with me? I mean, hell, it may be some sort of genetic thing,you know, a predisposition toward shooting my banker.....Idiots.

"Joseph Smith Jr. ran for President too. Didn't get very far."

He was killed several months before the election. Hard to campaign when dead.

Well then, it's a good thing that Mit Romney's family isn't running for President.

But not impossible, especially if you're a DemocRAT.

He didn't even do as well as Eugene Debs, campaigning from a jail cell.

And he ran, not to win, but to bring to light the plight of the members of the church who were being persecuted.
