Forget about the sobbing NY state senator, the AG in whatever Midwestern state, confessions, confessions, confessions.  Who cares, already.

are not mainstream Mormons, it does remind everyone that Mormons did come from polygamy.  Imagine the FLDS in the 1850s in Missouri, then onto Utah...and that is where mainstream Mormon church has its roots, in that crazy, cult-like polygamy where men are kings.  Romney would be a terrible pick for McCain, he would hurt him in the South. And with Obama as the dem, they need to worry about the South, maybe it is a stretch, but you would not want to lose votes in the bible belt because of Romney.

emerged.

The GOP are clearly going to mount a theological attackl on TUCC "herecies".  Attacks on Mormons might even allow the Wright issue to keep bobbling around, and have the Dems be accused of bigotry. We have our own church problems now you see.

The main problem for Romney would of course be the Catholic Church ensuring a heretic is not VP.

The Baptists won't be that big a problem, not enough hierarchy.

I keep wondering why they get away with that.  It's so stupid, and yet I hear it all the time.

Hagee met McCain for breakfast once.  He donated $$ to McCain's campaign.  He introducted McCain at an event in South Carolina.

The members of the formerly reality-based community make themselves look absurd w/ this transparent horse sh#t.
