...the presidential campaign of Mormon Church founder Joseph Smith in 1844: “Challenging Democrat James Polk and Whig Henry Clay, Smith prophesied that if the U.S. Congress did not accede to his demands that ‘they shall be broken up as a government and God shall damn them.’

Seems that the LDS has been dispensing pretty lousy advice to the guy who’s being jockeyed into position to fulfill their wish. Mitt, be sure to flip-flop everywhere you go? And don’t forget to kiss up to gays?
