  • 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 ...

  • Re: I AM A MORMON

    The inventory of good works cited by ''I AM A MORMON'' reminds me a lot of the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18: 18:10 ''Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not ...

  • 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 ...

  • A Point for Point Rebuttal of Hitchens

    It's here-- the next big attack you'll be reading about everywhere. This time it's no less an intellect/polemicist than Christopher Hitchens, whose intelligence and polymathy are matched only by the palpable rancor of his rants. Hitchens has already outed himself as no friend to Mormonism, or to religion in general, by way of his too cutely ...
