The third page of a bogus holiday greeting card received by many South Carolina Republicans this week purported to be from from GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney citing controversial passages of the Book of Mormon. The last page features a photograph of a massive temple above a box that says 'Paid for by the Boston Massachusetts Temple' Romney's campaign said it had nothing to do with the cards and a Boston Temple official said the temple had nothing to do with sending mail to South Carolina Republicans, who go to the polls Jan. 19, 2007.

I hope he gets someone to investigate. If another candidate is behind this he should quit the race. This is despicable.

I know.. I know.. I use to say when the Clinton's were in the White House, I could not believe they could get any more stupid, and then they would.

It was mailed from Columbia , Massachusetts with 41 cent stamps, not even a postage meter stamp.. so... I am sure that whomever mailed these the Post Office will have video of it.

Yep, on our side I can only imagine the Huck campaign being this stupid. McCain was on the receiving end of this in S.C. last go round, so I doubt it’s him. Thompson just doesn’t strike me as the type of guy to go for this sort of thing. Perhaps I’m wrong, but he doesn’t seem to be hell bent of killing his opponents. Rudy is a possibility, but I think he’d be leery of opening all the guns, considering the skeletons in his closet. So if I were guessing who on our side would be dumb enough to do this, I’d vote Huckabee. No proof, but his team strikes me as the least competent.

Still leaning on a Dem behind it though.
As dumb as Huckabee is, I simply can’t believe he would be this stupid.
For those who poo poo the idea of Hillary, don’t be to sure. She would have multiple layers of seperation and we all know she would lie, cheat, steal, and perhaps kill, for the presidency. I can’t see Obama’s crowd pulling it. Not that he’s squeaky clean, just that he’s inexperienced in this kind of knee-capping. He’ll learn after a few more weeks with Team Clinton. Edwards? He’s trying to claw his way back into the democratic race, why would he pull a stunt like this on republicans?

So My best hunch, and I’m really interested to see who it was:
1. Uberrich liberals who hate Mormons, and religious folks in general.
2. The Holy Roller Crowd on our side, who hate the MoMos because they consider the Mormons silly book to be more silly than other silly books. (I find this one a stretch though. The card seems designed to rile up Race baiters by linking up race and the BoM, not just an attack on LDS scripture)
3. Huckabee, because when something stupid is said or done, he is a pretty safe bet.

Can’t wait to see whodunit

I am thinking it is a Republican in South Carolina, who would have addresses of other Republicans...not a very nice Republican.

It’s best not to be so sure. What about the person who mailed the anthrax letters in 2001? The postal inspectors and the FBI don’t seem to have had any videos in that case.

(But maybe the USPS has installed a lot of cameras since then?)

[AmericanMade1776]

You can bet that more than One person knows of this mailings, it will come out.

[Will_Zurmacht]

Yep. The most likely scenario is probably some bozo pulling a Lee Harvey Oswald. All it takes is a nut with a laptop and a few bucks at Kinko’s to have an impact on an election.
(See: Dan Rather)

The saddest thing is the guy who pulled this really believes he has done a great thing and is feeling very important right now. But in the end, he will generate more sympathy for Mitt..

[Andy'smom]

Can’t it be traced through the printing company?

[Hawthorn]

> Can’t wait to see whodunit <

Yep, it may be the most interesting “political crime” since the Dan Rather memo affair. Where’s Buckhead when we need him?

[restornu]

wow you really hate the guy!

[AmericanMade1776]

I don’t think it will garner Mitt much sympathy, but it is sure going to garner someone some outrage and anger coming their way. It was a low , underhanded thing to do, and probably very illegal.

[Moose4]

I agree with you, except I’d flip #2 and #1. I really think this is a smear being attempted by somebody on the far outer fringes of the evangelical community in South Carolina.

“The Holy Roller Crowd on our side”

Why would you blame the Pentecostals?

[restornu]

I agree with you! This guy has been slammed every time he opens his mouth. His ads in NH against McCain are called “attack” ads by the MSM & Fox when all he is doing is making a LEGITIMATE comparison between them. Absolute bias against this man.

I would call this Video an assessment not an attact.

I say it is a possibility that it is Huck, his tongue has been on a rampage this month!

[gunnedah]

I stand corrected and apologize. And I know it makes a difference because Homosexuals are more protected than Interracial murderers by the MSM.

At one time early in the campaign, McCain had hired all the Political Dirty tricksters that worked against him in the previous race in SC. He’s my choice. Was told to do it by the Chi Com radio in his head
