.Gov. Brian Schweitzer, talking Friday to a national news website, said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney might shy from talking about his family’s 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 year’s 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 wasn’t misquoted, and that his comments had nothing to do with Romney’s 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.”

LOL, we are reading your posts right now, only a romneybot could be pushing Romney and denying it all, in the same breath.
Seriously, you never knew that the Romneys were polygamists? What do you think helping to create and build, and lead the Mormon cult for an unbroken 180 years meant?
WIKIPEDIA:
Romney’s grandparents were polygamous Mormons who fled the United States with their children owing to the federal government’s prosecution of polygamy.
In their 180 years of devotion to Mormonism, no Romney man has ever served the United States in uniform.
Patriotism couldn’t do it, the Draft has never done it, not the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Desert Storm, not even the wars that Mitt has been campaigning to run all these years could get one of his FIVE military age sons to enlist.
FUBO! (to humbly borrow a JR-ism)
I will not support Obama’s re-election.
No Obama. No way!
I guess the Democrats don’t think they can win this year on the issues, so they’ve decided to run a smear campaign against Romney.
Who really cares what Romney’s grandfather or greatfather did or didn’t do- neither of those men are running.
Obama probably doesn’t see much difference between he and Mitt on the issues, this will give him something to distinguish himself from the opposition.
Why does it irk you, Schweitzer is a democrat.
Yeah, it will distinguish him, Romney’s great grandfather was a polygamist, while Obama’s father was one.
But, since THEY opened it, we need to push it in their face.
LOL!
NOTICE: FR DOES NOT AND WILL NOT SUPPORT ABORTIONIST, GAY RIGHTS PUSHING BIG GOVERNMENT STATISTS FOR PRESIDENT!!
This message is intended for those posters on FR who seem to have missed my prior statements in this regard and insist on advocating for these bastards.
I'd rather shut the place down than be involved in any effort to install abortionist/gay rights pushing RINOS like Romney or Giuliani into the White House!!
Do NOT push this crap on FR. Take your business elsewhere!! And I don't care how long you've been here!!

This is disgusting. Guess FR has a faction that is a part of the loosely formed coalition of leftist commies and America haters committed to the re-election of Obama.
Dumb!
Better a Mormom than a Muslim.
Mormons are not suicide bombing or beheading anyone.
Did you really think that I meant no men with a name of Romney had ever served?
Who was it on the male side of his family, his sons, himself, his father, grandfather, great grandfather, and so on?
one “progressive” named Stanley Ann Dunham didn’t seem to have a problem with it.
Answer my question first!
Is this how the Romney crowd will play it, fight and claw for Romney while waving a conservative fig leaf?
