This post was submitted to me by Jeffery Curtis Foli, the former mayor of Chillicothe, Missouri. In it he relates his experience of how Mormon church leaders pressured him to conform to the church's interests over those of his constituents.

He also wonders aloud if Mitt Romney ever experienced anything like this as Governor of Massachussets and if a President Romney would be similarly pressured. He doesn't have the answer, but he does indeed raise an interesting question. And now, Mayor Foli....

I'd been rather suspicious of Red State (aka Fred!State) for some time. Now it turns out the whole thing is a giant fraud. Front-pager Moe Lane admitted as much today. Red State supports Hillary Clinton.

Baptists for Brownback 2008 somehow figured out that we've been secretly working for Senator Hillary Clinton all along. Sorry, guys: I knew that advocating the permitting of same-sex marriage via the legislature was a risk, but I couldn't help myself.

Red State should shut down immediately. Nobody reads that Daily Kos wannabe site anymore anyway.

Hat Tip to Baptists for Brownback for finally unmasking these pretenders.

Excruciating. I actually found myself wishing for an animated snowman to ask Willard "Mittens" Romney a question.

The pain was almost unbearable. If you can bear through it with me, without undeserved schadenfreude, follow along after the jump.

Almost a month ago, on Sam Brownback Day, I took the plunge at outreach and posted a diary on MyDD. I hoped it would inspire a fruitful discussion between those on the left and those on the right about the coming 2008 Presidential election.

Actually it went better than I thought, at first. Before it was deleted (along with the banning of my account and the deletion of all of my comments at the site) it had garnered some 59 comments, most of which constituted a useful discussion between those MyDD folks on the left, and me.

I hope I will last longer than a day here at Daily Kos. Will I? Who knows? But it is my sincere wish that we will have a civil discussion on the upcoming election that faces us all.

My original MyDD post after the fold....
