.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.

umm, the Romney’s weren’t even in this country 180 years ago. So you really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Please don’t lie about being serving in our military. If your really had served, you wouldn’t have been dodging the question for so long.
We absolutely have to vote for Romney on Nov. 6. We should now start practicing doing this in the remaining primaries. That way we can leave our clothespins at home on Nov. 6, as we will already have experience voting for Romney. Barbara Bush said flatly we must vote for Mittens.
Then go run for office. In case you haven't noticed, most politicians these days are not vets.
By the way here is a photo of Maj. Gen. Jean A. Romney.
Why are you asking me, draft dodger?
LOL, you really are throwing up everything you can in service to Mitt Romney, for this discussion you can use the figure of roughly 170 years for the Romneys in America.
If I’m not a vet, then you should go through my posting history and expose me, many years of posting as such would sure be a problem if it wasn’t true.
I’m used to Romneybots disrespecting American values and veterans among many other things, maybe you can repeat Romney’s attacks on Reagan for us.
Romney's father was indeed born into an anti-American, polygamy colony in Mexico, that was the reference, and it is true.

Let’s face it, Romulon is going to get weirder everyday as we approach the election.
And more unknown.
Meanwhile, we know all we’re ever going to know about Obama.
It’s just ridiculous.
And here we have Newt — son of an American soldier, Army brat himself. Palin, whose son has recently served, among others, for the choosing.
Ugh.
At least you make your position on Christianity clear, your post makes absolutely no sense though.
Romneybots, they never change.
Are you stoned, drunk? what do these people have to do with Mitt Romney?
Are these males in his direct line? His father, grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandfather, great great great grandfather, show me, show the world where any of them served.
Tune in and try to make some sense.
These creepy romneybots are weird as well, remember back in the 2008 cycle how goofy and spaced out they were, they were like cult people, and nothing reached them.
So....what.....If you don't like Romney, don't vote for him. Frankly, I think you just hate Mormans. Myself, well....people that arm up, can food and have an entire state they can call their own....I would take them over internet warriors, such as yourself, any day......
See post 51.
Says the romneybot who advertises that he is socially liberal, as he posts on an anti-Romney, social conservative site dedicated to stopping Romney.
I called you a bible thumping, holy roller. I thought that was clear. I also said in later posts you hate Mormons. I don't. Can I make that any clearer?
I agree with you, but I was just thinking about the thousands, if not millions, of americans who are living together without any marriage at all. Do you think that God is more upset with a man who lives in harmony and marriage with three women or a slug who is too much of a wuss to even marry the one woman he is shacking up with???
Do these morons really want to go into Romney religion and polygamy when Obama father was a polygamist muslim from Kenya, when Obama was raised as a muslim in Indonesia, and when Obama the adult was tought in the Chruch of Jeremiah Wright? If they are that stupid then great for us...
That’s got to sting.
