Maybe, maybe not.
But really... how many of these would anyone want around anyway?
Neither Romney’s dad nor his grandfather were polygamists.
And even if they were, so what? Grandpa isn’t on the ballot

They were chased out of the U.S. and settled in Mexico...and the rumor is they were chased out of there as well.
And yes...this was because of the polygamous ways!
Actually my understanding is, they were not polygamists.
They were in a committed monogamous heterosexual relationship. In the community in Mexico, who had fled from persecution.
One man, and one woman. Together.
Yes, seems weird, I know.

Exactly!
And polygamy was banned by the Mormon Church, way back in the latter part of the nineteenth century.
Any reference to polygamous practices by Mitt Romney's (remote) ancestors is really a very low blow, indeed...
“Neither Romney’s dad nor his grandfather were polygamists.”
Romney doesn’t -practice- polygamy but it is illegal so of course he doesn’t. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t SUPPORT it if he was faced with pro-polygamy legislation in this time where homosexual “marriage” is being legislated on a monthly basis.
It could be advanced in a matter of time, on the same grounds as sodomite “marriage”. What would Romney do if faced with legislation championing polygamy as he once was faced with gay marriage as Mass Governor? Where would his sympathy lie? Well, he’s a high Mormon Elder, so let’s see what Brigham Young had to say on the matter around the time the Supreme Court struck it down:
“Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned; and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given, and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.”
-Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
I would not be surprised to see a President Romney appoint court judges sympathetic to the LDS beliefs (pro-gay and hence pro-polygamy and liberal, anything goes judges).
He said in this campaign that he “would be “true to his faith”. His FAITH is pro-polygamy. Just because the courts forced his forefathers out of the nation to practice their abominations - and forced those here to CEASE the practice - doesn’t make them any more anti-polygamy than they were then.
Romney is and would be a traitor. I will not vote for a proven liberal traitor. I will vote for a conservative, little known though that conservative may be.
The establishment hijackers can kiss my ass.
Sorry honey George Romney’s parents were polygamists. Which makes Romney’s grandparents polygamists.
