Aside from hosting occasional visits for speeches and hoops games and the like by the incumbent, now there is a direct link between GW and the campaign as one of the candidates loves a novel by a guy who either flunked or dropped out of GW. 

As Romney's dad dropped out of GW too, maybe that is just his type. 

 Is that true VB? I hadn't heard that before. I can't see GW being much of a place for the son of a Mexico-based polygamist.

I think that was Romney's grandfather who was the polygamist.

BC, you and GWAA are saying the say thing. ... the son of the grand father, making him the father. To bring this discussion back to the most recent past of this year, some of the Mormons in Mexico are getting caught in the crossfire of the Mexican drug cartel wars.

It is true, GWAA.  I know because my wife has a poster of the covers on this list which George Romney is featured on.

Not to change the subject from my grandfather slip up, but I just finished a sci-fi book that mentioned the George Washington Physics Dept (200 years from now)!     That's Astounding!.  

I guess when the economy is going nowhere and you've racked up $5 trillion in new debt in 4 years, it's better to try and smear the opponent, albeit indirectly. Everyone with a brain knows that polygamy is banned, is not practiced by the Mormon religion today and Mitt Romney (nor his father) was not and is not currently a polygamist. You are going to learn a very hard lesson in November if you keep this crap up.

 I always thought Elanor Roosevelt was also a grad, or did she never make the cover of Time?

Big Play shares Willard's sense of humor.  I wonder if he drives to Canada with his dog on the roof of the car too!

 A little reading comprehension will do you some good, Big Play. Here's a question for you: If Mitt Romney's father was the son of a Mexico-based polygamist, who is the polygamist?

A) Mitt Romney

B) Mitt Romney's father

C) Someone else

Come on, I know you can do it.

Oh, and since you've assumed the responsibility of defending Romney and the Mormon religion, care to comment on the fact that until 1978, when Mitt was 31, the church was against interracial marriage and banned black people from becoming priests?

Exactly CSH so why is Mitt Romney even mentioned. Should we look at your "perfect" lineage?

Would you like me to list all the Dems who voted against the Civil Rights Act? 1978 ... 34 years ago. Alot has changed in 34 years including the Mormon religion's views on things.

And if you are saying that Mitt agreed with everything in Mormon religion because he was an adult Mormon when these things existed, I suppose then you are willing to also then say Obama agrees with everything the Reverend Wright had to say since he was an adult and attended that Church. Correct?

But of course this is nothing but an indirect attack on one's religion which is despicable since Mitt neither was the polygamist nor did he support the Mormon Church's position on interracial marriage. 

Then again, when you have a failed Presidency I guess you have no alernative but to defend your guy with gutter politics.

Sorry for the double post.

By the way NJ Colonial, according to Obama's own biography he has eaten dogs so I think Scruffy would rather ride in the carrier to Canada then be served with au gratin potatoes.

"Mitt Romney (nor his father) was not and is not currently a polygamist."

That was you. You brought him up. No one on here accused him of being a polygamist. And fine, let's say Obama did agree with everything Rev. Wright said. That means, basically, that he believes the US government and white people in general haven't treated African-Americans well throughout our history and they deserve blame for that. Hardly seems equivalent to Mitt Romney in his 30s accepting that black people weren't as good as white people and didn't deserve the same rights. Oh, and great job bringing up the Civil Rights Act, because everyone knows the Democratic Party of today has exactly the same platform as it did in the 60s.

Oh, and if you think Romney putting his dog on the roof of his car regularly as an adult is at all equivalent to Obama being fed dog meat on at least one occasion when he was 6, you're an idiot.

Thank's for tranporting a boring flame war about Mitt vs Obama from Slate.com to gwhoops.com, CSH.

In otherwords, SHUT THE FUCK UP about politics on this board!  That goes for the rest of you too.

I didn't start this, bobo, but respectfully I'll stop. You may now return to analyzing the 5th recruit, or whatever it is we do here during the early offseason. Though I guess this year it would be the 6th recruit.

Bobo, smarter people than you don't need to get involved in this, why you? you da boss? The rules are herve's rules. Stick to it bud.

WWHD?

He'd post a picture.  Now stop using the Herve's name in vain.
