Yeah, I remember Billy Carter and Billy Beer. It seems to be the substance of campaigns now. The divide is so wide we can only talk trivia while the country disintegrates.
Get ready for Romney Cola
This has nothing to do with any of that, this is about a high ranking member of a cult who is running for president, from one of the victims of the cult.
This isn’t Billy Beer.
Let me try to put this a different way.
I think that attacking a political candidate because some relative disagrees with them is, in general a silly argument.
I guess it is unfortunate that in this case, the person being attacked is Mitt Romney, because in the end I’m not really allowed to argue that the tactic is inappropriate, if it is used against Romney.
People had similar problems arguing that we shouldn’t be attacking candidates for making money and investing it and receiving investment income — I think that is a silly thing for a conservative to say, but because the target was Romney, I guess none of us was supposed to object to the line of attack.
So I apologize for saying something that would detract from making fun of Mitt Romney, especially since the story is about a guy who, apparently, has left the mormon faith, and is concerned about others in the mormon faith. I shouldn’t have compared HIM to ronnie reagan, for example (I wasn’t trying to attack Herman Cain’s wife either, like I said I was arguing against blaming candidates for their family members, not suggesting every such family member was a real problem. I’m guessing it’s OK to compare ronnie reagan and Gingrich’s ex-wife and Santorum’s wife’s ex-boyfriend, but that wasn’t my intention).
