Frankly I don't see why they wouldn't, they've already accepted a moron.

Romney says voters will accept Mormon background

POSTED: 10:21 a.m. EDT, May 14, 2007

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says he also is troubled by the Mormon church's past practice of polygamy, but that he can overcome voter concern about his religion.

"What's at the heart of my faith is a belief that there's a creator, that we fundamentally the relationship you have with your spouse is important and eternal," he said Sunday on CBS' "60 Minutes."

But the former Massachusetts governor acknowledged that "there understand is troubling to people."

"Look, the polygamy, which was outlawed in our church in the 1800s, that's troubling to me," he said. "I have a great-great grandfather. They were trying to build a generation out there in the desert. And so he took additional wives as he was told to do. And I must admit, I can't imagine anything more awful than polygamy."

I don't think religion is necessarily an issue with political figures in the U.S. We've got a President who claims God talks to him, a Vice-President who thinks he is God, and several other delusional people in office - what difference would a Mormon make?

"there understand is troubling to people."

I'm desperatly trying to figure out what that sentence means.

"And I must admit, I can't imagine anything more awful than polygamy."

He doesn't have much of an imagination does he?

Good point.

No, Mitt - that was Moron. They won't accept a Moron.

And Clive Sinclare said that people would embrace the C5...

Well, what's he supposed to say? "Yeah, you guys are right. They'll never accept a mormon. Polygamy is just too much. I give up. I'm gonna go home and bang my wives, now."

Not in the biblical sense.

 

[TragicMonkey]

A Mormon, yes. This particular Mormon? I doubt it.

That would be more interesting, and entertaining, than what has been said of late. Methinks his wife would not cotton to that too well.
