Mitt Romney and his Polygamist Connection

Ben Jacobs from The Daily Beast wrote about a conversation he had with Montana Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer. Mr. Jacobs noted that when he acknowledged the irony of Mitt Romney’s father being born in Mexico, and Romney having problems with the Hispanic community, Mr. Schweitzer replied;

… that it is “kinda ironic given that his family came from a polygamy commune in Mexico, but then he’d have to talk about his family coming from a polygamy commune in Mexico, given the gender discrepancy.” Women, he said, are “not great fans of polygamy, 86 percent were not great fans of polygamy. I am not alleging by any stretch that Romney is a polygamist and approves of [the] polygamy lifestyle, but his father was born into [a] polygamy commune in Mexico.”

The Obama campaign spokesperson Lis Smith told the Daily Beast that “Attacking a candidate’s religion is out of bounds, and our campaign will not engage in it, and we don’t think others should either.”

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
