Romney Says He Won’t Push Polygamist Views on America
Today, former Massachusetts Governor and Mormon, Mitt Romney announced that he is running for President.
Romney went back to his old stomping ground in Michigan to make the announcement. He drew heavy applause when he said that the US must push on in Iraq and believes in the troop escalation. Until when? Who knows, concrete and planned timetables ‘embolden’ the terrorists in the abstract war against them.
Romney is a Mormon but does not believe in having multiple wives. Too bad. If he got elected President and introduced polygamy we could have something else in common with fundamentalist Muslims.

Of course Mitt Romney won’t support polygamy. It is against his religion. In 1998, President Gordon B. Hinckley made the following statement about the Church’s position on plural marriage: “This Church has nothing whatever to do with those practicing polygamy. They are not members of this Church. . . . If any of our members are found to be practicing plural marriage, they are excommunicated, the most serious penalty the Church can impose. Not only are those so involved in direct violation of the civil law, they are in violation of the law of this Church.” Full text: http://www.mormon.org/question/faq/category/answer/0,9777,1601-1-114-1,00.html
Of course the head of the Mormon church has to say that, polygamy is illegal in this country.
