Your comments are squarely within the mainstream for the most part, but it comes clear that you have a central point and that is hatred for Mormonism and all of its adherents rather than specific disapproval of this Candidate or that person.

Most Christians do hate the Mormon religious teachings and with good reason..... and the majority of Christian leadership worldwide has stated that Mormonism is NOT Christian.

There is absolutley nothing wrong in determining a candidates cultish practices, could and usually do interfer with their judgement...or the clergy they are taught under.

I would have a problem with a Scientologist running for President equally as much as a Mormon.. when they have an agenda for our nation which directly opposes Christianity. Both of these cults have such an agenda.

And any who thinks what one practices does not affect their judgement is sadly mistaken...Rev. Wright certainly did Obama no matter how much Obama has denied that...it's quite easily seen in the decisions he has made and the agenda he pushes.

So people had better look closer at the religion a candidate practices.....and if your smart you realize that during an election the candidates themsleves more than mention their faith. Heck even Trump did! They would not mention their faith if it wasn't important to them that you consider that.

I would not vote for Romney because he is a RINO. I like Beck because he has performed a service to all of America as great personal risk. I have friends who are Mormon and they are truly good people and I know people who are Mormons who are just about as interesting as pond scum. Bigotry is when you lose all perspective between understanding a person's character and lump them into a group. We are reasonably cautious about folks who belong to faiths like Mormonism especially when you consider some of the things in their teachings. Folks point to the Bible and say many of the same things. But, thats not the point.

If Romney weren't a flip flopping say anything to get elected RINO, I would consider him. It took me a while to get his number during the 2008 cycle but now, I am pretty certain that I would only vote for someone like him for the same reason I voted for McCain.

So, I intend to work not to be forced into that sort of choice this time. But, I will not do it by BASHING someone for their faith. And, you shouldn't either. It something to note, part of the puzzle but that has to be all.

Beck announces major rally in Israel

Listen to Beck saying that all faiths must stand together..

The one world religion...

“common faith. That is Jerusalem”

No Beck all religions do not have Jerusalem as a common denominator..

BTW while those 6 Christian pastors were “standing” with Bonhoffer, the mormons in Germany were “standing” with Hitler...
