John McCain's 95-year-old mother, in a swipe at her son's rival Mitt Romney, said Friday that Mormons were to blame for the scandal that rocked the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.

During an appearance on MSNBC, Roberta McCain laid out why her son, John, deserves to win the Republican presidential nomination. But in evaluating McCain's primary rivals, she criticized Romney's Mormon faith and his time in Salt Lake City.

President John F. Kennedy seemed to like Mormons fine...

But he also cut taxes and took a strong stand against the evils of Communism, so most Dems today would probably call him a Neo-con.

I'll vote for Kucinich in the primary because he has more integrity than all the other candidates put together. And, I feel that my integrity won't allow for my voting for anyone else.

In general I don't like Mormons either. I dislike them because they are conservative, self-righteous and more than just a little wacky. I know what I'm talking about because I spent 10 months in Salt Lake City and it seemed like more like ten years.

Is McCain implying that his "95 y/o" mother is insane. He should have known not to bring his momma to an interview, old people like to speak their minds.

I think Joey Smith found some mushrooms on or near the tree- he just imagined the tablets. Now, if you will excuse me, my three wives and I are going to watch some football. We are having another couple, err, I should say, another threesome over. Have you noticed the similarities between the nutballs who live in the polygamist towns and the Taliban? You know, all dressing alike, covering the heads, etc etc. I feel sorry for the abused women and the children. The men can go to Hell. Jack Out.

That's good John, bring out your Mom and let her knife Romney in the back.

It's strange how religion is off limits in politics. The candidates says they have these strong beliefs but we are not allowed to judge them on them. Being a Mormon means that Romney believes that a guy (Joseph Smith) found golden tablets in his backyard describing how Jesus visited the new world and preached to the natives. Smith with the help of Angel Moroni translated the tablets to English, and then the tablets were spirited away to heaven.

Normally, believe in such a ridiculus story would make me question Romney's intelligence. However, its religion, so I'm not allowed.

Listen, my mother and I are completely different in how we view people and politics. She prays I'll become a conservative, pro-life, good church going Catholic and I pray she'll have more time to pray...

This one is for you Mom,

Momma McCain has a point. Romney should answer.

Next I want her to explain why her son loves George W. Bush so much after his flying monkeys publicly smeared John's entire family. Didn't she teach her son anything about integrity?

Roberta McCain is right. It's a fair question if asked Romney needs to respond.

Good for McCain's mom. Now, will somebody please ask Romney to explain about how God is some guy who lives on the planet Kolob? I'd really like to hear that one. Or is Romney ashamed of his beliefs?

If this was an attempt to make McCain look younger if didn't work. Just having Momma still alive don't make an old dog a pup.

Well bless her heart. And bless my own mothers loving heart who believes that dinosaurs were put in the ground by the Devil to test our faith. I still love her even though the Devil has possessed me.

McCain's stay at the Hanoi Hilton put some years on him. You don't see a lot of Mormons in the military. Romney's five sons are out to help the Mormon church, not the USA. I think we have divided loyalties.
