Elections, polygamy, and the press...


About six months ago I was reading a biography about Barack Obama that I picked up at the library. Out of curiosity. I got about 1/2 way through because the author was so pro Barack that it became nauseating.

Aside from that, as I read it I could not help thinking of 2012. Love him, or hate him, Mitt Romney was a pretty good candidate for the Grand Old Party, yet even some of his own party members got on him for his ancestral family being polygamists in Mexico a 100 years ago. (I might have the "facts" jumbled a bit, but, I assume you get my drift.) On a side note, I have co-workers who are liberals that wish Romney had been elected in 2012 so DT would not have been elected in 2016.

While Reading our former President's bio, I learned that Barack's own father, was married to 4 (?) women (including his mother), legally, in East Africa. I do not recall hearing a word about that concerning President Obama's tenure, having descended form a polygamist family.

Interesting how the left leaning press ignored the man who was the product of a polygamist culture in present time, but beat up a guy who has ancestors who were polygamist, but had nothing to do with it on a personal level.

i wonder how they would deal with me for my ancestor who murdered somebody, and my other ancestors that owned slaves.

You would have no political chance. Unless of course you had an international humanitarian "business" you used to line your pockets.
