are you kidding me with this shit

Or if the Republican is American, you asshat. Subtle xenophobic shading at other cultures under the guise of being 'fair' is a huge FAIL on your part, sir.

Bigamy is illegal HERE, according to our culture, so shut it. It's so convenient you WANT to refer to other other countries habits when it supports your twisted rhetoric, but National healthcare is what other dirty socialist countries do and we just CAN'T abide it. Seriously, fuck this.

*Flips table*

Not only that, but Romney's family fled the US to live in polygamy.

Yeah, they went to Mexico for a while, didn't they?

[jazzypom]

My memory of this is hazy. The last time this fact came up was in 2008.

the fucks i give, as a voter, about obama's father being a polygamist and/or a bigamist:

also as someone else said, it's illegal here. so gtfo with this.

Polygamy as a crime is a charge that can only be pressed against the people who commit it. It should not be charged against those people's children. Why does this matter to President Obama's or Governor Romney's respective campaigns? Both Gov. Schweitzer and the author of this article are being tacky.

[tiddlywinks103]

Exactly.

[hashishinahooka]

Yep.

[world_dancer]

Yes.

I don't care if a candidate is a product of polygamy, incest, or some other situation.

What matters if if the candidate participates in such. Appears to be a no on all persons listed here. Let's move on.

This article is totally stupid and xenophobic.

That said, can we just not attack politicians because of their family backgrounds and what their ancestors did? My ancestors on my father's side were a bunch of radical communists, and idek want to know the shit that would be flung at me if I ran for political office because of it. (tbf I'm not at all ashamed of it, but I know it would be used for derailing my hypothetical campaign.)

So you're saying I should start posting your family's past social and political ideals and activities on a blog then?

where did i say something even remotely like that?

[corroded_tears]

I was joking. Sorry :(
