Surprising Romney campaign theme song: Alanis Morisette..........

[dimbear]

"What if God was one of us."

This touching and sentimental ballad is expected to serve as a gentle and subtle introduction to the Mormon belief that God started out as a human being and then, gradually, grew.

1. Alanis is a huge lefty, I rather doubt she is going to be happy about this.

2. I thought that song was done by Joan Osborne

Did Morisette cover it?

[Warren Stupidity]

3. yeah there is that too

I have no idea what Osborne's politics are.

4. Uh-oh...

re Joan Osborne:

Also in 1997, Joan participated in the highly successful Lilith Fair tour. At one point during the tour, Joan took a stand for pro-choice rights. Planned Parenthood had problems being allowed to set up a booth due to the venue's policies. The tour's organizer, Sarah McLachlan, and Joan stated that in the future they would not perform at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Texas.

Osborne later graced the stage with a Planned Parenthood t-shirt and stated to the crowd, "I'm the face of pro-choice Texas."

Furthermore, I'd like to reiterate and emphasize Joan's feminist & political interests. She has participated in many pro-choice events, giving support for women's reproductive rights. She's an honorary member of Planned Parenthood's Board Of Advocates which she admits is more symbolic than anything but nevertheless significant for the attention it draws. Joan has also supported Rock the Vote, donating her voice to "I'm Just a Bill" on the Schoolhouse Rocks the Vote album...

In November 2006, she released Pretty Little Stranger, her self-described "Nashville album." It includes one song "After Jane" about a relationship with a woman (Osborne herself has had relationships with women.

5. Mormon belief that God started out as a human being

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. What... did he evolve thru natural selection????

Do Mormons believe anything that isn't just stupid?

7. Some of the Catholic ayatollahs objected to that song
