Did the Mormons baptize Paul Ryan's Idol Ayn Rand?

She was an athiest, like Romney's father-in-law ... who Romney had baptized by the Mormons.

Maybe the Mormons baptizing Anne Frank more than once triggered the thought (I mean why would you need to do something creepy like that more than once?)

It's probably a really stupid question and nobody has to answer it.

I have nothing against atheists nor any religion in general. I'm all for religious freedom and don't pay much attention to people's religious beliefs. I just found the practice so strange.

But there are aspects of the GOP in this election that flirt with the surreal.

The fact that that question popped into my head just kind of underscores how weird things are with my thoughts on this ticket.

With the amount of dishonesty that's come out of Romney during this campaign - now trying to back away from the "marvelous" Ryan budget, I still don't understand how Americans can take him seriously.
