Another Sad Embarrassment on Mormomdom
This is worse than any of Harry Reid’s crap. Pathetic rubbish! Poor liars make poor presidents, as proven by the current occupant.
Every failed politician has their epitaph. Colon Powell had his “Rockefeller Republican” moment. Biden’s was “first clean Black”. This is Romney’s. The best hope for a serious Mormon presidential candidate in two generations goes down in a whimper a year before the primarys. Sad.
Why is it a sad embarrassment on Mormondom? Why not on Republican Mormons instead?

Dan, is Harry Reid an embarrassment for Democrat Mormons alone? I cringed when Harry Reid went off on Clarence Thomas a few years back citing no specifics but declaring his opinions as incoherent, then wrongly praising Scalia, a white conservative justice, for a dissenting opinion that Scalia didn’t write. Even if Thomas is a dolt, (and I don’t think he is), his opinions would have then be written by his clerks, top law school grads from top schools. If Reid wanted to score points against a conservative justice, couldn’t he have done his homework and picked a white one? But no, he revealed himself as a stereotypical bigoted Mormon of yesteryear, naming the Black justice as incompetent without mentioning any specifics. Please, both Reid and Romney are embarrassing as a public face of Mormondom.

I had a “discussion” with an Islam about what he’d do with more women than he needed nor could keep happy. (I’m not doing war with Islam… just got up to talking…)
I could have layed on him the issue of the parallel of how Shi’ite split from Sunni parallels the split of Emma from Brigham, and how in certain high-order organizations of time, space, quantum uncertainty… cooincidences can happen, and…
I asked him…
What you do if life were such that the atmosphere would only allow healthy psychologies to survive past 7-8 days (at which point it’s okay to circumcize the males) to the extent that at puberty… there’s twelve girls for every guy?
How does he maintain his sane and fair and open minded objectivity about the whole situation while not complaining about how it does feel pretty good when well-fed and well-excercised.
How do the *women* sort it out?!?
