Mitt Romney on 60 Minutes: “I can’t imagine anything more awful than polygamy”

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

From the Drudge Report– MITT ROMNEY: I CAN’T IMAGINE ANYTHING MORE AWFUL THAN POLYGAMY’

In what may be his strongest public statements against the Bush administration, presidential candidate Mitt Romney says his fellow Republicans in the Bush White House made mistakes in Iraq that the country is still paying for. Romney also deplores the polygamy his ancestors practiced in the 19th Century in a 60 MINUTES interview with Mike Wallace to be broadcast Sunday, May 13 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

“I think the administration made a number of errors,” he tells Wallace. “I don’t think we were adequately prepared for what occurred. I don’t think we did enough planning. I don’t think we considered the various downsides and risks,” says Romney.

He says President Bush isn’t the only one to blame. “He’s the person where the buck stops, but it goes through the secretary of defense and the planning agencies, the Department of State — it’s the whole administration,” Romney says. “They made mistakes and we’re paying for those mistakes.”

The president’s “surge” policy of putting additional troops into Iraq may never work, says Romney, but it deserves a chance. “We’re going to know in a matter of months if it’s working or not working.” (more…)

From The Daily Kos: “The War in Iraq is Evil: A Mormon Perspective”

(From Clay — The Comments are as Interesting as the Post)

The War in Iraq is Evil (A Mormon Perspective) , by flernk

And again, this is the law that I gave unto mine ancients, that they should not go out unto battle against any nation, kindred, tongue, or people, save I, the Lord, commanded them.

-Doctrine & Covenants 98:33

Evil is such a dangerous word, isn’t it? Well, I’m using it deliberately. Not only has the War in Iraq been the single worst foreign policy disaster in American History, not only were we lied to in the run-up, not only has it been catastrophically mismanaged, and not only has it made us dramatically less safe from terrorists, the war in Iraq is categorically evil.

LDS individuals in America are far-and-away red party faithful, but their personal political leanings cannot hide the truth: Nothing in our doctrine justifies this war and, in fact, our doctrine specifically states that a war like this is evil.

There a few things you must know about me (and by extension, my Church).

Just found out about a Hispanic preacher that claims to be Jesus Christ himself — greater than Jesus, actually. He also embraces the “666″ symbol, and has a global televangelist network with hundreds of thousands of members.

His name is Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda. His following is almost scary. Check it out.
