Mitt gets to either show how stupid all the crap is or he gets to show he can't make it look stupid, that's the way it goes. Well, if he were muslim and black, in which case the race thing trumps the religion thing, then no one could say much. Look at the bright side, though, he's going to have a lot of people looking at his being Mormon rather than at how friggin stupid he is.
Yep! 1960 and God-fearing people who had never gotten involved in the dirtiness of politics registered to vote to keep the catholic out of office.
The good outcome is that those I know of stayed involved after that.
1988 and Pat Robertson throws his hat into the ring, and a bunch more folks elevated their involvement, and those I know are still involved.
Folks of the Mormon persuasion will get involved and hopefully stick around to continue casting what I expect would be conservative votes.
Back in the days of Johnny Carson, he had Mel Brooks on the show and made the comment about Mel being of the "Jewish Persuasion". Mel looked right at Johnny and said "I had no choice, there was no persuading"
I also don't respect the person that claims intellect, yet has not sorted out the junk all tied to the founding of the Mormon faith. But I do understand a person having a heritage and being born into a faith.
So when I look at Romney, I have to consider his loyalty to his roots, his track record, any evidence of political integrity.
[And then vote for Sarah!]
