He equated homosexuality with polygamy as well. When will these attacks on our religion cease?

It's as I thought. He said the same thing (roughly) that Santorum said, and it's being misunderstood.

He did not "equate" those different types of sexual deviancy. He said if we recognize one, we have to recognize them all. Or in other words, that the argument made for one to be legitimized is the same as the argument made for another.

That's different than saying the acts themselves are the same thing.

Let me bring the thread back to topic.

The Florida Intrade Quotes suddently went Romney's way this morning, currently Romney 46 McCain 40. This doesn't seem to coorelate with any of the poll data on RealClearPolitics. I wonder what is happening. Is McCain showing signs of senility by mixing up Germany with Russia or something? Maybe something will come out later to explain this.

Am I too into this?

Why can't Romney put this flea bitten field away? Says a lot.

I hope you're not always this premature.

Intrade Quotes at Romney 47 McCain 41 for Florida. A new Rasmussen poll is due out any minute. I wonder if the traders got some early info.

Hold your fire 'til you see the whites of her eyes SU.

Is it possible intrade is not leading but following? Intrade seemed to take a long time to react to the Rasmussen poll the other day showing Romney five over McCain, and also didn't seem to react to Thompson announcement. Maybe due to low trading volumes, intrade is not as efficient as we think?

I'm getting a kick out of SU lately.

Romney and his punk, hick religion is in great position to win Republican nomination for president. (What a simple feat!! Anybody should be able to do it!!) But he's a loser for not doing more easily. Like telling the Patriots they suck because they had a couple interceptions last week.

Intrade is best described as "prevailing conventional wisdom". Which of course doesn't always match reality.

Romney=the Patriots? A bit premature, don't you think? Maybe the Seahawks in their flea bitten division would be a better analogy.

I'm not sure what the big deal is about a 3% win in Florida where the winner only gets 25%.

This is really a case of the GOP electorate being disgusted with their choices.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
