My favorite is:

"In fact, Romney's great grandfather, Miles Park Romney, led that first expedition to escape not persecution but prosecution for polygamy, or what Mormons called ‘plural marriage.’ After polygamy ended, the family remained in Mexico."

So is Romney for or against non God-authorized plural marriage?

I daresay most Americans now live that lifestyle on the fly.
