From news story today:
While Mitt Romney condemns polygamy and its prior practice by his Mormon church, the Republican presidential candidate's great-grandfather had five wives and at least one of his great-great grandfathers had 12.

I'm against Romney because he's a Republican. I could care less about his family's poligamous past. This is just an attack on Mormons, and it is uncalled for.

I'm not a Republican but I don't care about his family's past or religion. I think issues should be the ones that matter. Now with that said, I differ on issues with Romney and I have my favorite presidential contender. But I admit that Romney is a serious opponent and I know that with a good speech he'll make this go away.

Why would that count number? what number of human beings's tremendous-tremendous-grandparents owned slaves or were slaves? Does that in any appreciate influence who they're at present? Obama's father turned right into a polygamist. it really is a lot extra modern-day effect than what got here about over one hundred years in the past. yet i do not carry the multiple sins of Obama's father adverse to him. those issues are not to any extent further his fault. I hate Obama for what he has performed himself. Likewise my doubts about Romney are depending completely on his own record and not at all that of his kin. he's been inconsistent and turn-flopped sufficient than absolutely everyone would doubt even if he has any center beliefs in any respect. yet i comprehend what Obama's center beliefs are and they pass adverse to each thing that u.s. stands for. A vote for Obama is thoroughly out of the question. because i love my united states of america i am going to vote to fireside Barack Obama by balloting for the guy with the acceptable probability to change him. If that individual is Romney, so be it.

Obama's father had an American wife and an African wife at the same time. Will that influence your vote? Get over it. What matters is the candidate, not his ancestors.

Does the fact that Obama was an Islamic fundamentalist bother you?
And Mitt Romney's great-grandfathers actions don't bother most people. Get over yourself.

His great grandfather has nothing to do with him. He is a few generations removed from him. What matters is what is happening today.

No, The fact that he flip-flops like Kerry, and that he lies about what his church believes will influence me.

I always felt the man who should be president would be a Jewish businessman.
