Mitt Romney Responds to ANOTHER Attack on His Religion…AGAIN
Obama’s minions are out and are on the attack …
Montana’s Democratic Gov. Schweitzer, who attacked Mitt Romney’s Mormon religion, said, “I am not alleging by any stretch that Romney is a polygamist and approves of [the] polygamy lifestyle, but his father was born into [a] polygamy commune in Mexico,” Schweitzer said, also noting that even a distant connection with polygamy probably would not sit well with women voters – another group Romney is seeking to attract.
Conservatives have criticized Schweitzer for bringing up Romney’s religion in this way, pointing out that President Obama’s Kenyan father was married to more than one woman at a time.
“Both Romney’s parents and grandparents were monogamous, so tying him to the polygamous practices of his great-grandparents is a nasty piece of business and no more relevant to the 2012 campaign than an investigation into the marital practices of President Obama’s ancestors in Kenya,” writes Jonathan Tobin, senior online editor of Commentary magazine.
Responding to the democratic governor’s attack on his faith, Romney said, “My dad’s dad was not a polygamist. My dad grew up in a family with a mom and a dad and a few brothers and one sister. They lived in Mexico and lived a very nice life there from what I understand and then when [my father] was 5 or 6 years old there was a revolution in Mexico. They escaped…. My dad had a very tough upbringing.”

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard a politician say, let alone a Governor who has demonstrated special leadership acumen. Who gives a hoot about a person’s great great whomever? How about focusing on the policies of today?
