Montana's Governor Schweitzer(D): "Romney’s father from ‘polygamy commune’ in Mexico"

Helena Independent Record ^ | 4.21.12 | Mike Dennison

[tuckrdout]

.Gov. Brian Schweitzer, talking Friday to a national news website, said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney might shy from talking about his family’s Mexican roots because they came from a “polygamy commune” in Mexico.

Schweitzer made the remark in an interview with The Daily Beast, a news and opinion website, after being asked whether Montana might be a swing state during this year’s 2012 election.

According to The Daily Beast, Schweitzer said Montana likely would vote for Romney, but that Romney, a Mormon, might have trouble nationally because his father, George Romney, was “born on a polygamy commune in Mexico.”

Schweitzer, a Democrat, said later that he wasn’t misquoted, and that his comments had nothing to do with Romney’s faith or his church, which does not condone polygamy.

Schweitzer said he was describing the dilemma facing Romney, who is in trouble with Hispanic voters because “he took an ultra-right-wing position on immigration during the (Republican) primary.”

So then, does that make Rick Santorum a Communist?

[Brown Deer]

Let her explain all this.

Watch your mouth girl.

LDS has a political agenda as we know. Romney has been and is one of the leaders within their organization. The religion is simply a front as is all other counterfeit religion masqurading as a religion.

What many are unaware of is Mormons believe the office of president is uniquely connected to Mormonism in a variety of ways....

They have given it the name the White Horse Prophecy,.... (which they continually deny as all other truths recorded in their teachings which might seem offensive to some or create issues for them)... it basically states, “that the U.S. Constitution will be hanging by a thread” and a church elder from Zion will ride metaphorically on a white horse to save it.... This prophecy is interpreted 'by the majority' as a Mormon president saving the country.

Furthermore..they believe at this time a terrible revolution will take place in America, the land will be left without a Supreme Government. .. and that the Mormon religion would save America at this time.

But it is insulting to find a statement from the LDS Church on its Newsroom blogsite, when in fact their recorded history says otherwise time and again, the following:

"The so-called 'White Horse Prophecy' is based on accounts that have not been substantiated by historical research and is not embraced as Church doctrine" (January 6, 2010)

What this means to voters who are in the dark about LDS, their false teachings and anti-Christian beliefs, remains to be seen...I suspect most won't care...Christianity in our nation has been so watered down and infiltrated by false teachings and practices that the centrality of Jesus Christ has all but disappeared and we see simply lip service today....an easy target for the enemy of mens souls.

[Brown Deer]

If Romney can't do simple math...like that Brigham Young had about 55 wives & 57 children to average about ONE child-per-Mom/wife...

Guess what? His wives also had other children from other men. Not so simple is it?

[caww]

I would suspect none of these men have served in the Military...generally speaking Mormons don’t...a few here and there but over all they do not serve.

[Brown Deer]

Sorry honey George Romney’s parents were polygamists. Which makes Romney’s grandparents polygamists.

Sorry honey, you're wrong.

[Brown Deer]

He denies that is his family? When was that?

[caww]

Mormonism is not the enemy, it’s not something to promote either, yet Mormon’s are not the enemy no more then Catholics are the enemy. The enemy is socialism, communism and Islamism, which are ideologies that are determined to enslave the majority for the benefit of the few who hold the power.

Your ignorance of religions and ideologies is showing.

[heye2monn]

Good point — I guess if a guy has five wives and each has ten kids, then he might think that 50 was too much. One wife and ten kids, he could handle.

"When was the last time Mormon’s beheaded someone not being Mormon? When was the last time Mormon’s murdered their daughter or sister because she fell in love with a non-Mormon? When was the last time that Mormon’s declared War on the World and let it be known they were determined to enslave the rest of the population and create a world wide caliphate?"

Straw man argument. There are no Presidential candidates that have beheaded anyone, murdered their daughter or declared war on the world. None.

Much better question you should be asking:

When was the last time a Mormon seized a government office and used it to further the killing of tens of thousands of innocent babies (many torn limb from limb, including the heads - all were someone's daughters or sons) - subsidized by the taxpayers - and then undermined the sacred institution of marriage by willfully appointing liberal, gay-favoring, judges, and followed that up by personally approving hundreds of gay marriages, and then followed it up by attacking the liberty of citizens using coercive government mandates?

Gee, I can only think of one time and one Mormon who did this... and I'm guessing you want to pull the lever to put him in office?

[Brown Deer]

...generally speaking Mormons don’t...a few here and there but over all they do not serve.

Where did you get that information from?

[Brown Deer]

and why are you pinging me to this comment?

[Brown Deer]

Well I have...because my Lds ancestors included a 19th century polygamist

Well that must make you a polygamist!

[Brown Deer]

Romney is proud of his forefathers and what they did...

Yes, they fought in the Revolutionary War. That is certainly something to be proud of! but I'm still not voting for him.

[caww]

Searching, reading various sites and articles, both mormon and otherwise. You might investigate it it yourself as well. ..and it’s pretty much known the Mormon youth go directly to the mission filed...bypassing enlistment altogether.

[Brown Deer]

Then please feel free to post the numbers from each branch of the military along with your source.

Romney is despicable!!!

[RedMonqey]

Both Romney's were, and in Mitt's case, are, powerful leaders in this cult

By what definition do you define "cult"

a)Not Jewish but Christian
b)Not Orthodox Church or above but Roman Catholic Church
c)Not Roman Catholic Church or above but Anglican Church
d)Not Anglican Church or above but Protestant
e)Not Just Protestant or above but: Lutheran, Calvinist, Presbyterian, Anabaptist.
f)Not Any of the above but Baptist, Methodists, Adventists, Pentecostists, Pietists, Puritans etc.
h)Not Any of the above only Mormons

Because all the above plus alot more were considered a "cult" and weird, if not heretical by the preceding faith(s) they were once a part of but broke away from because of some schism within Christianity.

So choice your words carefully because every stone you throw at somebody's else's window, countless more will be thrown at yours...

[Colofornian]

Well that must make you a polygamist!

:)

(How do you know I'm not?) :)

Hey...all I'd have to do is...
...become a Mormon...
...talk my would-be Lds bishop into a temple recommend...
...take two spouses in the Mormon temple...
...with a death separating the two...
...and viola!...
...CURRENT Mormon teaching sayz I'd be an ETERNAL Mormon POLYGAMIST!!!
Not exactly 70 virgins forever...but hey...Current Mormons don't have to stop at two such spouses, either...as long as they take them consecutively -- sequentially outliving spouses -- they could "rack up" quite a harem in the celestial Mormon heaven.

(And Mormons coyly deny they teach or practice polygamy any more...what a crock that people buy their lies & deceptions...and if those aren't lies & deceptions...then that proves they don't buy their own "lines" from their "prophets" "apostles" and general authorities...which means the whole thing should collapse on its own weight)

Beyond that, I think I've distanced myself a bit more from my polygamist ancestor by saying it wasn't a moral thing to do...went against Gen. 2:24; Matt: 19:6; Deut. 17:17...Whereas the ONLY thing I've found that Romney has said on the subject attempted to justify it as building a family in the desert.

The OTHER HUGE difference is that Mormons have an "afterlife" structure for supposed "current" and alleged "future" polygamy, whereas I have no actual plans for either. Therefore Romney needs to answer to CURRENT Mormon policy on "eternal celestial polygamy" and McConkie's Mormon apostolic "prophesy" that the Mormons would return to earthly polygamy.

Does he believe it? If Ann Romney died [Ann has been diagnosed with MS for about 15 years], and he took another wife in the Mormon temple ... say during his would-be POTUS years or even post-POTUS years, does Romney believe that "teaching the nation" -- particularly the younger generations -- that "eternal polygamy" is A-OK???

[RedMonqey]

In their 180 years of devotion to Mormonism, no Romney man has ever served the United States in uniform.

So an Quaker is illegitimate candidate for president as well?
