.Gov. Brian Schweitzer, talking Friday to a national news website, said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney might shy from talking about his familys Mexican roots because they came from a polygamy commune in Mexico.
Schweitzer made the remark in an interview with The Daily Beast, a news and opinion website, after being asked whether Montana might be a swing state during this years 2012 election.
According to The Daily Beast, Schweitzer said Montana likely would vote for Romney, but that Romney, a Mormon, might have trouble nationally because his father, George Romney, was born on a polygamy commune in Mexico.
Schweitzer, a Democrat, said later that he wasnt misquoted, and that his comments had nothing to do with Romneys faith or his church, which does not condone polygamy.
Schweitzer said he was describing the dilemma facing Romney, who is in trouble with Hispanic voters because he took an ultra-right-wing position on immigration during the (Republican) primary.

The problem with your definition of “bigot” is that it is overbroad, in that it is impossible for any person secure in their own beliefs to avoid the charge. Consider the Merriam Webster definition:
“a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.”
Parse this: What is “obstinate” versus “settled?” What is “intolerant” versus “not gullible?” When is a strongly held “opinion” NOT “bigotry?” What is a “prejudice,” and how is it different from “belief?” If there is a real difference, do you think most people understand its use accurately, or do you think it is a term easily co-opted by the left to suppress the expression of Christian/conservative belief in the public square?
Put another way, if rejecting Romney based on a sense of Christian civic duty is bigotry to you, how then does the sincere Christian believe both you and Christ? He did not instruct us to hide our lights under a bushel, but to let them shine for all the world to see. Not in the sense of pride, but as a choice we make to honor God in what we do, whether public or private.
Yet you pride yourself on the privacy of your religion, but that neatly compartmentalized life is not the way Christ taught us to live. The law of God is good. It heals the sick, and gives strength to the weak. It is meant for everyone, to benefit everyone, and to lock it away in some dark corner and not live it out boldly in both our public and private lives, is to deny medicine to those who need it. It is an act of unlove. As CS Lewis would say, false humility is as damning as hubris, and is in fact just another form of hubris, and not humility at all. God gives us gifts, and he would not have done so unless he meant for us to use them. You have worked on a farm. What happens to a cow who withholds her milk, or a hen who won’t lay her eggs?
By the same token, if God has warned Christians against false prophets and other mortals aspiring to godhood (and he has so warned us), and warned us against those who replace the Christ of Scripture with some lesser being of their own invention (and he has so warned us), is it not the utmost in hubris to ignore all those warnings and voluntarily GIVE POWER to those very individuals whom God said were out to destroy our very souls? While criticizing those who DO heed his warnings as bigots?
Put another way, what earthly end can be so important that we should surrender our souls for it? What did Jesus say? What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? What will it profit us to be rid of Obama if we have to permanently scar our eternal souls to do it, by knowingly throwing our support behind the very type of person Jesus warned us against? Some obedience to Christ is very difficult, the little decisions day by day to be honest, loving, and good. But this one is easy. Dont give an enemy of Christ any power over you. You will regret it, and to the extent your decision affects the rest of us, we will regret it too.
I didn’t take it as a Romney rebuttal. What I imagined was a Rumpelstiltskin type character stamping his feet in frustration and, not getting the joke, furiously typing his next barrage.
You might have something worth sharing, but you present it as a jumbled muddle and it’s hard to understand your point. I did a little research and the Wikipedia articles diminished your standing as a factual source. You’ve not rebutted that or directed to any clarifying information. I get the whole Romney RINO thing, but this military service meme is silly. No need to reply unless you’ve got some lucid info.
You didn’t say anything. Who were those men in Romney’s direct line that served, his sons, father, grandfather, great grandfather and who?
LOL, a freeper making a negative statement about an anti-conservative, pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-homosexual liberal, and it outrages you, amazing.
I guess we conservatives will just have to live with your disapproval.
Someone is going to write a book - “Willard Has Four Mommies!”
You don’t seem capable of explaining this Romney nonsense you try to spread.
Really? What nonsense would that be?
LOL, romneybots
Aside from the inaccurate characterization of Mitt Romney, as shown above, it does seem fair to note that what "outrages" me is the cheap shot taken at the man.
It is one thing to assault the man's positions on the issues; it is quite another to indulge in below-the-belt attacks upon him...
No one is making “below the belt attacks” on the scummy leftist, Reagan hating, anti-conservative, democrat fund raising, Planned Parenthood fund raising, Mitt Romney.
So you really aren’t capable of answering a very simple basic question are you? It must sad to be so stupidly ignorant.
You’re not going to get me to defend Romney, but it is you who didn’t say anything.
Imagine that we’re talking about Tom Thomas. Though American, his family lives in outside the US for most of its history - territories and then say Canada. Looking at his great-grandfather (lived and died outside of the US), grandfather, father, Tom Thomas, and sons none of them served.
So that’s the narrative, but it proves nothing other than that Tom Thomas’ four generations didn’t enter the US military. You have to tie that to some other statistic to make it make sense. If the population stats are 50-905+ of four generation Americans at least one male member served in the military you might have something.
I mean Al Gore and John Kerry served in the US Armed Forces. What did that prove? Bad thinking doesn’t make a good argument. That’s my point. Don’t shoot the messenger and don’t hold a grudge against me because that FReeper spanked you with a solid retort. Instead improve your argument and have it make sense in context. Otherwise it is just nonsense and nonsense is the realm of liberals, not us.
I will allow that observation to stand, without further comment.
Well, except to note that if this is indicative of your level of serious analysis...oh, never mind...
I’m not going to pretend that you aren’t defending Romney, that is your own personal pretend game.
“the scummy leftist, Reagan hating, anti-conservative, democrat fund raising, Planned Parenthood fund raising, Mitt Romney.”
That is careful analysis of five years of research and reading on the man, something that we have documented in the freerepublic Romney files. The videos alone shows that.
Either you don’t know the lifelong Mitt Romney, or you are pretending not to, to promote the campaign image of him.
Psychic? You’ve laid out a bad argument and you want to blame me for your poor thinking. I’ve tried to help you hone your idea, but it’s nonsense. You’re racing down the wrong lane, FRiend.

No mormons fought in the Revolutionary War, there where no mormons until 1830.
Clinton and Gore said “I was pro-life and for these reasons I am now pro-choice” that is not a flip flop.
