I heard that he's a Mormon. Does he have to sleep with 50 women like Brigham Young? The ladies would not like to be treated like property! Just imagine if every guy was Mormon! There isn't enough women for their harems. Young lived in the desert just like the Arabian Sultans. What's up with that? Wouldn't that be illegal in the United States? I thought that the United States was a Christian nation where a couple is a man and a woman not groups.

No LDS
Last time I checked , we were at war with the Taliban. Why should we let one of their cousins inti the White House?
This one happened 150 years ago but I think its still relevant because Mitt Romneys church pardoned a terrorist mass murderer of Americans and protected the 100 or so other Mormons involved from federal prosecution!
It was September 11, 1857. A wagon train of 160 settlers on their way to California was massacred by a bunch of Mormons dressed in Indian clothes. 17 children under the age of 8 were spared and lived to tell their story.
1st. They dressed as Indians but after five days they changed tactics.
2nd. Then they went a bit away ,dressed back into normal clothes and acted like the Rescue Party who had negotiated a deal with the"Indians".
3rd, Then confiscated all the guns as part of the deal for "saving" the travellers and Mormon dissidents( who were the reason for the attack in the first place).
4th. Took everybody off a mile or so and shot them all. 2 men got away but were eventually tracked down and killed a day or so later.
5th. Took the 17 children they had not killed back with them to Salt Lake City.
6th. Got away with it. After a publicized trial, with the childrens own testimony admitted into the court, only 1 man was convicted and shot, John D. Lee. ( pardoned by Church 1960)
It ended up being called the Mountain Meadows Massacre. The first time in U.S. history that U.S. citizens were massacred on U.S. soil by religious wackos. This event is even more significant because the total U.S. population at the time was much smaller.(I dont know the exact numbers, maybe only 30 million or so) In todays numbers it would be around 1400 dead

The official, and somewhat arrogant IHMO, name is "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints". Commonly abbreviated "LDS".
First, polygamy has not been part of Mormonism since 1875 or so. It was outlawed by the Mormon Church, primarily to allow Utah to become a state, which it did in 1896. There are sects that encourage/allow polygamy, but they are apostate.
Second, Brigham Young didn't live in the desert. Utah does have a "desert" climate, but that's only in the South. The majority of the population live in the center-northern parts of the State, where the climate is much more temperate.
Finally, Mr Romney has said over, and over that he would not let himself be swayed by what the President of the LDS Church proclaimed on issues. A perfect example is his view on Homosexual rights-180 degrees out from LDS Church dogma.

You have got it all wrong about us mormons. Mormons at one time in their early history did practice polygamy and that was controlled polygamy. Not every mormon even practiced it. Romney is a mormon. He does not have more than one wife because the mormon church does not practice polygamy anymore. The mormons are very Christian people and do more than any other sect out there to promote real christianity and helpfulness. Their welfare system dwarfs all other religions and they were the number one contributer to helping out in Katrina. Of course, did the media recognize the church for that? You need to get your facts straight about us mormons because you just might be crawling to Utah for safety when the **** hits the fan in this country. Is your church preparing for disaster? go to www.mormon.org or www.lds.org if you want to know the truth about us mormons.

You are a bit confused, polygamy is no longer a practice
of the LDS Church (Mormon's) they have only one wife
though there are a few that have multiple wives (illegally)
A Christian is a person that believes in Jesus Christ, Mormons also believe in Jesus Christ and most of them are very moral and have very strong family values, often dedicating one night per week entirely to the family, no one goes any where, it is a time to spend with your FAMILY.
I am a Catholic so I don't believe in all of their teachings
but I have many Mormon friends and would not ever say
anything against them.

Read your Constitution. The US is NOT a Christian nation. It's not Mormon, either. There's that whole "seperation of church and state" thing you should look up.
