  • 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 ...

  • Mitt the Mormon

    When you say Joseph Smith was a convicted fraud. What do you know of that? Did you know he was murdered before he was even convicted. And that at both trials he was at, they had no real proof that what he said was wrong. All they said was that it was sacrilege, and blasphemy. Have you Christopher Hitchens really studied, and researched that Mormon ...

  • Why is he only being judged as a Mormon?

    This article was written very one sided showing the doubts a person would have dealing with a Mormon politician. As a presidential candidate I would be more interested in how his religeous beliefs have or will effect his job or decision making. To jump to conclusions and catigorize him as a racist is far to extreme to do to any canidate without ...

  • Re: Romney's Religion

    The Church of Jesus Christ (LDS) is often accused by Evangelical pastors and liberal commentators such as Christopher Hitchens of not being a legitimate Christian religion This article http://mormonsarechristian.blogspot.com/ helps to clarify such misconceptions by examining early Christianity's comprehension of baptism, the Godhead, the deity ...

  • Hitchens hits the nail on the head...

    I am an ''Exmo'' (exmormon) and know well the church likes its bread buttered on both sides. The Mormon Church is exempt from paying tax on the tithes and donations of its members (for all intents and purposes, this is its main source of income) and from paying property taxes in most countries where religion plays a major cultural role. Yet, at ...

  • Hitchens and Romney's Religion

    Hey, I generally like Hitchens, on most subjects anyway. But Hitchens on religion is like gangsters writing about cops. You just have to take what he says with a grain of salt 'cuz he just isn't objective.

  • Fighting Words: Mitt The Mormon

    Christopher Hitchens and Slate's unabashed and shameless contempt for all things Mormon has been showing for months. So, today's supporting material –Mitt The Mormon -- for Hitchens nomination as ''Bigot of the Year,'' while disappointing -- as a rule, I happen to admire Hitchens writing -- was no particular surprise. Hitchens was right about ...
