Mike Allen: At the grand opening of your headquarters in Iowa, on a teleconference call you had question from a lady about polygamy. Why do you think that in this day and age, the year 2007, some key tenets of your faith are still so misunderstood?
Mitt Romney: “Well, I think most people have other things to do in their lives besides keeping up to date with Mormon doctrines.”
Mike Allen: But, Governor, polygamy is more than just a doctrinal issue.
Mitt Romney: “Yes, of course. But you have TV shows that continue to play off the old history, and people don’t spend a lot of time looking at the disclaimer that says this is not the practice of the Mormon church today. They just sort of watch it and don’t pay a lot of attention to it. My expectation is that as this campaign goes on, there’ll be a little more attention to recognize that some of the old misconceptions are exactly that.”
I want to use Romney's candidacy to advance his causes and arguments. This means debate. Thomas Jefferson said we should list pros and cons. Here is my list of reasons to agree and disagree. Please help me advance the arguments:
