Exactly. My point of my last post. YOU don't speak for all Evangelicals. (Interesting you point it out as applying to my comments; somehow it doesn't apply to yours?)
...who conducted the poll?
Here: Fox News Poll: GOP Primary Voters Propel Cain to Top of Pack
Per that article: Twenty-one percent of GOP primary voters have concerns about electing a Mormon president. Of those, twice as many cite Mormon beliefs as cite the candidate’s views. White evangelicals -- a significant voting bloc in several key GOP primaries and caucuses -- are about equally concerned about the candidate’s views (16 percent) as their religious beliefs (17 percent).
Are you going to continue to dismiss these over 1-in-5 GOP primary voters?
And what about the other 66% of Evangelicals? If 1/6 are concerned about Mormonism and 1/6 are concerned about issues, where are the other 2/3?
Even with the "other" 2/3rds of Evangelicals...a Rasmussen poll from 5 years ago revealed that 92% of Evangelicals say a candidate's religion is either very important or somewhat important.
So what are you going to do? Scold 92% of Evangelicals and 78% of Republicans?
Here was the info on that poll: Election 2008: 43% Would Never Vote for Mormon Candidate (Rasmussen Poll)]. According to that excerpt: The Rasmussen Reports survey found that 35% say that a candidate's faith and religious beliefs are very important in their voting decision. Another 27% say faith and religious beliefs are somewhat important. Ninety-two percent (92%) of Evangelical Christian voters consider a candidate's faith and beliefs important. On the partisan front, 78% of Republicans say that a candidate's faith is an important consideration, a view shared by 55% of Democrats. However, there is also a significant divide on this topic within the Democratic Party. Among minority Democrats, 71% consider faith and religious beliefs an important consideration for voting. Just 44% of white Democrats agree.
So…what % of the following groups found that a candidate’s faith and religious beliefs are an important consideration for voting?
(1) Americans: 62%
(2) Evangelical Christians: 92%
(3) Republicans: 78%
Any “Religion” that resorts to changing the normal meaning of common words to promote itself has a problem. The use of the term “ancient Americas” turns a discussion about the merits of this belief system into a joke.
And like I said it doesn't include the millions of Independents who will vote in the GOP Primary since Barry is unopposed. Anyways, sorry I fell into your thread, I'm a sports fan and you suckered me in using "World Series" which most people associate with baseball not Mormon bashing. But whatever, to each their own.
When the LDS declares a jihad against infidels I guess I'll start to worry then, but the again I'm not voting for Huntsman and Romney, not because of their religion but because of their liberal positions. I am a fan of Glenn Beck, he was right on about the developing Caliphate. I think he is a visionary and he happens to be a Mormon convert. And I don't think he is an evil person nor do most of the people on this site.
But you are free to hate whoever you want in this country.
I just don't like your hatred of Mormons associated with this website, because mark my words, every thread is backed up on Google and someone is going to come from some hole one day and use your "copy and paste" thread as a tool to attack the credulity of Free Republic.
Bill O'Reilly did it years ago, manipulating our position on race by taking the title of a thread (which was the title of an article) and used that to claim FR was a right wing hate site.
I don't find this thread helpful and sad to be associated with someone with such a hateful heart yet claiming to be an Evangelical.
Regardless, I'd appreciate if you don't use bogus title's to sucker in people to read your propaganda.
