  • Whoppers?

    You say the ideas of angels visiting Joseph Smith, and of Smith translating an ancient record by divine power, are such ridicuous ''whoppers'' that you can't take a believer seriously as a potential leader. Why do you think these beliefs are more ridiculous than, say, the belief that Jesus was put to death by crucifixion, lay dead in a tomb, rose ...

  • Slates Bigotry blindness...

    ''Republican voters, faced with a choice between a say-anything robo-pol and a genuine, slightly nutty Southern boy, chose the guy without any money. Romney was so noxious that Republicans actually chose the less viable candidate—not what Republicans are supposed to do'' Slate, how about stating the obvious! Romney lost the south because of ...

  • Mormon Doctrine

    Does does Governor Romney's religion matter? As for one who is evaluating all the candidates and trying to learn as much as I can, the answer is ''yes'' ... absolutely yes! For instance, I'm not ready for a Muslim president here in America. If someone is a Muslim, I want to know. Likewise, I don't think we would have been ready for a Japanese ...

  • The Mitt Romney Musical

    Here's something interesting about one of the leading Republican presidential candidates.As you might have heard, Gov. Romney is a Mormon. When he was in college in Utah, he had the lead part in the all-Mormon musical production of ''Seven Brides for Two Brothers.'' This was found at http://presidentsintern.blogspot.com

  • Romney's World

    Anyone catch the opening joke in Cedar Rapids today? That was a real Mormon insider! In Mitt's recounting, a 70-year-old man was asked how he convinced a hot 25-year-old woman to marry him. ''What did you do?'' ''Well,'' he said, ''I lied about my age.'' '' So, what did you do, tell her you were what, 50?'' ''No,'' he said. ''I told her I was ...

  • I agree- but...

    I agree with the position taken by the author that Mitt needs to talk more about his religion. Religion is one of those things that helps form the core of many people. Therefore understanding Mitt's religion can help us understand who he is and what he will stand for if elected. That being said, however, I fundamentally disagree with the manner ...

  • Romney, the cringe-factor

    Slate, Slate, Slate.... my source as a (gasp) Liberal, New England educated Latter-day Saint for some light-hearted Romney bashing and entertaining campaign videos.... What were you thinking? The ''Boxers Briefs or MORMON UNDERWEAR'' headline was cute (they're called Garments, by the way). The article, and our dear Hitch's lack of respect ...

  • How do you spell ignorant? Not sure check the facts.

    This article is slanderous to the Mormon church. The facts aren't right at all. I'm completely offended by whoever let this article be published. They are completely ignorant as well. I can't believe anyone would actually believe half the stuff that is written. Have you ever even known a Mormon? They are the nicest people on earth. Their beliefs ...

  • Mitt the Mormon

    I thought this article was inappropriate, calling a religion a cult is out of line. And poking fun at things that a religion holds as sacred is also out of line. I think that Mitt Romney declining answers about his religion is appropriate because he probably does not want to become a spokesperson for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day ...

  • Proud to be Mormon

    Wow! This article really hurt my feelings. Politics is one thing and it seems that mudslinging within campaigning is tolerated, however some of the comments made in this article went beyond mudslinging at a cadidate and were more directed at the religion itself. I don't know what exactly qualifies Mr. Christopher Hitchens as an expert of my ...
