[Vision2020] Here I am With President Romney

[Sue Hovey]

  Donovan, I disagree.  I find Mormons have a lot of fun poking fun at themselves.  One of the funniest events I ever attended was a Salt Lake City teachers' meeting where the evening's entertainment was a fellow who traveled the LDS Church circuit with a hilarious monologue based on Mormon traditions--the one I remember was the Mormon women work at crafting clusters of grapes in resin for table decorations.  But there were others touching on polygamy, garments, etc.  I'm willing to bet you, most LDS folks weren't nearly as offended as you were, and they can take up for themselves anyway.

  This is disgusting Hansen!

  I really would think that a person such as yourself who claims to be liberal would find this kind of media poking fun at millions of people's religious faith as intolerable. 

  You know, there are millions of good people that are Mormons in the country, and while I might not agree with all the points of their faith, poking fun at them for their faith is unAmerican, prejudiced, very discriminatory, not to mention arrogant. 

  I think you owe all the Mormons and their friends on this list an apology for promoting this kind of negative campaigning as acceptable. 

  And as if you couldn't find something else to dog on Romney as to have to shoot below the belt and go for his faith. Do you not realize that this hurtful to all Mormons when you promote this garbage? 

  Best Regards,

  Donovan

    Hello Hillary, Hey Giuliani 
    Here I am with President Romney 
    How he won this was a riot 
    Newsweek caught you two in bathrobes at the Hyatt

    Mitt says our land needs reformin' 
    'Cause it's not completely Mormon 
    So protesters must speak softly 
    And the War on Drugs now targets tea and coffee

    For his talks with dignitaries 
    Mitt just sends the missionaries 
    And state dinners - gee, they're mellow 
    All the heads of state bring casserole and Jell-o

    Heads on Rushmore - you would dig 'em 
    Mitt just sculpted Brother Brigham 
    And the anthem needed switchin' 
    So it's now "I Hope They Call Me on a Mission"

    Oh my word 
    He got elected 
    Oh my gosh 
    How unexpected 
    'Cause he's quite 
    Distinctly male and white 
    Despite 
    His V.P. Gladys Knight

    Oh my heck 
    The far right trounces 
    Mormon lives 
    So Mitt renounces 
    Plural wives 
    But deep down they're OK 
    As long as none are gay

    Now I don't know where we're headin' 
    But it might be Armageddon 
    So you sinners better move it 
    'Cause we're in the latter days and Mitt will prove it

    I must meet the Elders' Quorum 
    At the White House here in Orem 
    So I'll run now - this is awesome 
    We'll be swearing in Chief Justice Donny Osmond!
