Hooray Mitt! You got the endorsement from the OTHER Mormon! That’ll play big in S.C.
Our Great Grandfather, Miles Park Romney, had to go to Mexico to avoid prosecution for polygamy escape religious persecution. Then Mitt’s Grandfather, Gaskell Romney, had to come back to America with Mitt’s father, George Wilcken Romney, to avoid the Mexican Revolution. Really, no different than most family histories. By the way, gotta love these Romney names. It makes me wonder how I ended up as bland old Ron. I’m gonna go cry now.
Bain Capital just sounds evil.
“In all, current and former executives and family members of Bain Capital have contributed more than $2.7 million to Romney’s state and federal campaigns, leadership political action committees and Massachusetts gubernatorial inauguration fundraising committee, as well as the independent Restore Our Future super PAC backing Romney’s White House bid, according to the report.”
Look out, Cuz! It’s Gingrich and he’s got Newtmentum! I guess 30 minute attack ads take their toll on us Romney’s.
“The real question in South Carolina, as we’ve noted before, is whether social conservatives will unite behind one Romney alternative or continue to splinter between Gingrich, Santorum and Paul. This poll, with Gingrich catching up to Romney and Santorum down in fourth, indicates that Gingrich could be that rallying point.”
Her story echoes earlier reports about the way Romney treated women under his authority, particularly the case of Carrell Hilton Sheldon. In the early 1980s, when Sheldon, a mother of four and a member of Romney’s congregation, was several months pregnant, she was diagnosed with dangerous blood clots and advised by her doctors to have an abortion. Although her stake president—a Mormon office higher than that of bishop—recommended that she go through with it, Romney reportedly objected. He apparently went to the hospital to try to dissuade her, reportedly telling her, “Well, why do you get off easy when other women have their babies?”
According to Ronald B. Scott, the Mormon author of Mitt Romney: An Inside Look at the Man and His Politics, when that didn’t work, Romney went to Sheldon’s parents’ house. “He was telling her father not to let her have the abortion, and her father threw him out,” Scott told the Los Angeles Times. “He was appalled at the arrogance of Romney.”
Not Mitt’s finest moment.

Via I'm just a little lonely, and you're all I've got
“Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family’s hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon’s roof rack. He’d built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog.
Then Romney put his boys on notice: He would be making predetermined stops for gas, and that was it.
The ride was largely what you’d expect with five brothers, ages 13 and under, packed into a wagon they called the ”white whale.”As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ”Dad!” he yelled. ”Gross!” A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who’d been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management.”
Frankly, I don’t see what all the hubbub is about. So our beloved Book of Mormon is viciously racist. Calm down HuffPo!
