<snip>Karger spent four days in the state, meeting with local Republican leaders and urging the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to stop funding efforts against gay marriage. (Prior to launching his presidential bid, Karger founded a group called "Californians Against Hate," which focused on Mormon involvement in the campaign to pass Proposition 8, a ballot initiative passed in 2008 that continued California's prohibition on same-sex marriage.) snip

During his visit to Utah, Karger met with Washington County Republican Party Chairman Willie Billings, who Karger said was "welcoming" and "friendly." After their meeting, which was first reported by the Los Angeles Times, Karger gave Billings some campaign paraphernalia, including a Frisbee and a T-Shirt. When Billings brought the souvenirs home, however, his wife, Nanette Billings, threw them in the garbage and fired off an email to Karger, calling him "a radical idiot" and saying "thank goodness" he "cant procreate." snip

"My feeling is the only reason he's running for president is to find more (sexual) partners," Nanette Billings told Yahoo News in a phone interview. "To get more people on his bandwagon." snip

"This is what the Mormon church preaches to its members," Karger said in an interview with Yahoo News. "This is not some isolated woman in Utah."

1. Good lord--I thought, for a brief moment, they were talking about RMoney!!!!

"My feeling is the only reason he's running for president is to find more (sexual) partners,"....."This is what the Mormon church preaches to its members,"


Mitt's gonna have to work a bit harder, I suspect. I can't see the ladies swooning over his smooth lines, like "I like firing people" and "He scrambled up there every time we went on trips!!!"
