Romney's family have always been faithful members of the mainstream LDS Church. They ended the practice of polygamy after the Church terminated it pursuant to revelation in 1890. In contrast, Warren Jeffs group is a tiny ragtag crew of dissenters who were thrown out of the legitimate LDS Church about a hundred years ago. Jeffs makes a pretense of prophetic powers but in reality he's more like a pious Mafia boss.

Polygamy was illegal in Mexico long before the Mormons arrived. However, the Mexican authorities appreciated the hard work of the Mormons to develop remote areas that had never been settled, and made no effort to mess with the Mormons' domestic relationships.

None of what you are predicting is accurate. Romney is not an advocate of open borders. He will have no power to dictate to the states any health care system. He understands that under the Tenth Amendment that will be none of his business as President -- nor the business of the Congress.

He is not in favor of cap and trade, and in any event no such scheme could possibly pass the House.

Accusing someone of lies is a weighty responsibility. If you are going to level that charge, you should supply specifics. I have seen zero lies from Mitt Romney about his service as governor of the very blue state of Massachusetts. He knew that his options were limited in light of the 87% liberal Dem. legislature, and so chose his battles carefully. The role of President of the entire nation is a different one, and he plans to execute it differently, except that in each case there was and is a critical need to balance the budget.

Your points about the insanity of "affirmative action" (euphemism for unconstitutional government-mandated racial & ethnic discrimination) are well taken. The descendants of the Mormon colonists who fled Mexico during the time of Pancho Villa theoretically could claim the status of "Hispanics" to secure a racial preference but so far as I know they do not do so. They typically like jalapeno peppers and retain other elements of Mexican acculturation, but they are Americans at heart and too proud to seek special favors from the government.

Don't beat up on Rob McKenna. He's in a lonely position as the only Republican to win statewide office in years in Washington. He's a courageous conservative who, for example, has been a leader in the fight to overturn Obamacare..

Seriously "little boys"? Not having been to Iraq or Afghanistan, I hadn't heard about this. Maybe the occasional adolescent, which is bad enough. But if pre-pubescent boys are routinely being violated one would think that that would create half a nation of mentally disturbed men as the victims grow up. But perhaps the point is provable: a nation that is so out of whack as to execute someone for embracing Christianity, as is set to happen any day now in Kabul, is surely off its collective rocker.

Does anyone else find that number -- "147,228 photos and videos" -- shocking? I had no idea that there even WERE anything like that many photos and videos of child porn (even broadly defined) in existence. Where is this coming from? Obviously those depicted in the videos are among the worst victims of this trade in sleaze. Who is in charge of tracking this corruption to its source? Eric Holder? If so, does he even care about the problem? Or is he only concerned about suing the state of Arizona?

This shot is rather weird - mainly the underwear. However, others in the set display Mr. Kroell's excellent manly chest to advantage, and cover him up where he should be covered. Chest hair like his is a work of God.

False premise on top of false premise in order to "associate" Huelskamp with "murder.". A candidate doesn't endorse every position of everyone who might contribute to his campaign. You're worried about $250 from operation rescue - how about the million dollars that Obama got from Goldman, Sachs?

Further Operation Rescue did not "applaud" the murder of George Tiller. Even Tiller, who had the blood of tens of thousands of innocent babies on his hands, did not deserve to die at gunpoint. Huelskamp has never remotely endorsed the killing of abortionists, so your lame attempt at "association" fails.

As a simple matter of morality, Crist is obligated to return the contributions of everyone who supported him believing that he would run as a Republican or, if he lost the nomination, would fold. It's especially galling because he repeatedly stated that he would NOT run as an independent.

I do not believe that the polls showing him with over 35% support will be borne out on election day. Some of that is no doubt due to the fact that his name is out there a great deal right now.

Well, of course any "backlashes" against Muslim New Yorkers would be wrong, and considering the number of Americans dead and wounded as victims of Islamic "jihad" over the past 18 years, as a people we have shown remarkable restraint. .. However, the focus here should be on rooting out the Muslim extremists who will continue to perpetrate terrorism unless and until they are stopped. What, exactly, are Mayor Bloomberg and the Obama administration doing toward that end, other than apologizing for America, pledging to close the most compassionate terrorist holding facility known to man (Guantanamo Bay), attempting to stage trials that would shut down key parts of Manhattan, and reading alien combatants their supposed Miranda rights?
