Not the ones I know.. they drink sweet tea like Baptists drink Dr. Pepper.

Fred Thompson is 65 and Mitt Romney is 60. Based on my “scientific” research, the Mormon lifestyle does a better job of keeping you young than having a wife young enough to be your daughter.

My former mother-in-law, a lifelong mormon, drank sweet tea by the gallon and brewed what she called "barley" beer which had quite a kick to it. The Bishop loved it, and always got a bottle from every new batch.

She was a wonderful woman, RIP.

It is against the Word of Wisdom, an official doctrine. The Mormons you know who drink tea would not be allowed into the Holy Temple to take part in saving ordinances.

In the In the Word of Wisdom, the Lord revealed that the following substances are harmful:

Alcoholic drinks (see D&C 89:5–7).

Tobacco (see D&C 89:8).

Tea and coffee (see D&C 89:9; latter-day prophets have taught that the term "hot drinks," as written in this verse, refers to tea and coffee).

You must know Jack-Mormons.

Did she make the tea so sweet it was almost clowdy white with sugar? That is why I said sweet tea instead of just tea.. When the bottom 8th of the glass is a layer of undissolved sugar, sweet is an understatement.

My link didn't work for the Word of Wisdom.

Jack LaLanne for President!

Did you see this link posted earlier with a different take on that?

There is one official source of LDS Doctrine and I gave it to you at lds.org. Go to my link and hit the Additional Information button. Or ask restornu if she can drink tea and still attend the Temple if you don’t believe me and the official site.

Yeah, two highly educated adults exercising their personal choice to be married to each other is a bit much to ask for these days. Personally I'm a bit concerned her levitating off the floor. Maybe she's from another planet?

Naww...by the time I met her she had it all figured out...if you add the sugar to the pitcher FIRST and pour the hot tea over it, it dissolves pretty good...then you add about 4 lemon halves with their juice...

I also discovered from someone else that one-half sweet tea, one-half classic Coca-cola with lemons makes a passable beverage.

No wonder everyone ended up diabetic! Just kidding.

They can exercise their personal choice all they want —— doesn’t change the fact that the choice makes him look OLD!

Oh, forgot to mention, but if Thompson is elected his wife will have the biggest breasts the White House has seen in recent mammary. That’s just got to be a distraction to any man.

Ya know, one thing about Mitt, he keeps giving his opponents new gaffes that show his weaknesses...Fred's opponents can only harp on the same old things they were yowling about 3 months ago.

[mnehring]

I freak people out because I drink unsweet tea. Apparently, that is sacrilegious here in the south.

[greyfoxx39]

Ooohhhh...I lived in Waco for a while...you might as well kick their dog!!!;)

[soccermom]

Well, Fred hasn’t even started yet -— too bad he doesn’t look that way all the time. Great photo!

[TAdams8591]

THAT was great! He even looks like him too!

[Battle of Tours]

“Would you be happy if he ran in a burqa?”
Do you think with a handle like “Battle of Tours” I’d support a burqa? BTW, those are for the ladies - so why are suggesting one for Romney?

There is no way, whatsoever, that Hillary Clinton defeats any republican candidate in the deep south, part of the mid-West, Alaska and all that. Even if the republican candidate was caught with a dead prostitute in his bed, he'd still win frickin' Idaho.

The 'toons may not be able to win Idaho, but they can win parts of the deep south and mid-west the same way they did in '92 and '96 -- if a third-party candidate runs to the right of the GOP nomination. In '92, the 'toons won Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia, and in '96 they won Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky.
