There’s a good reason for that, the MSM is trying to isolate Romney from his religion, and the left is trying to convince Mormons to become their newest voting bloc, sort of like racial minorities. One of the things I noticed anyways, was the fact that the attacks involved:
1) Getting a fellow Mormon by the name of Harry Reid to attack Romney with the accusation that he paid no taxes.
2) Arguing that Romney wasn’t a “good Mormon” (The Seinfeld Actor)
3) Avoiding mention of his Mormonism by mentioning peripheral information such as him being a rich, white, man.
The pattern here is to convince Mormons that the left, or Democrat is the more moral, or better way for them to vote. However, and I am supposing this as someone who isn’t Mormon, I still believe that Romney will get the majority of the Mormon vote anyways, simply because for a lot of Mormons, their community-like structure will simply allow them to spread the word of how decent a guy Romney is regardless. Plus there’s people outside of the Mormon faith like the French Family that have pretty much advertised him to the Mormons despite being protestants. So, one way or another, you probably see where I am going with this, the left wants the Mormon vote, so they try really hard to get around mentioning the fact that Romney’s Mormon to at least try and get Mormons to vote Obama.
A couple years ago some study showed that Mormons are the most conservative-voting religious community in the USA, so they pretty much already are a voting block for the GOP (in spite of attacks on our faith by evangelical conservatives). You do have large numbers of Mormons in liberal states like NY who vote liberal of course, but it is really hard to square Democratic policies with Mormon doctrine.
Obama didn’t go after Mitt’s Mormonism (it is a cult by any Christian definition), because it would have invited attacks on Obama’s Muslim faith; and given a choice, almost everyone would prefer a Mormon to a Muslim.
Romney has never tried to impose anything associated with Mormonism on anyone. The same cannot be said of Obama and his Muslim faith.
You believe it; while a lot of us KNOW it!
You correctly state Mitt's a decent guy.
I have to agree.
But he is STILL deceived by a false religion that the Bible warns about.
