In the wake of Jon Huntsman Jr.s waffle on his status as a Mormon, the other Mormon in the Republican presidential race, Mit Romney, has moved quickly to clarify his own Mormon bona fides.
Ive gathered you all here today, said Mr. Romney in a hastily called news conference on the grounds of his sprawling beach hideaway in California, to announce that religion, like health care, should be left up to individual states. Mormonism, like Obamacare, is not a one-size-fits-all plan. So just as my medical plan is OK for Massachusetts but not the country, my religion is OK for Utah but not the country. From now on, I will be a Mormon only when I am in Utah.
From now on, when I am outside the borders of Utah, I wont wear my garments, I wont pay tithing, I wont sustain the General Authorities, and I wont answer any gotcha questions about plural marriage, secret handshakes or second anointings. Let me just say this. It really ticks me off that Brother Huntsman Jr. says he is a very spiritual person and proud of his Mormon roots. Hey, Im also proud as heck of my Mormon roots, but Im the least spiritual person I know.

Am I wrong?
care to state wasn’t based upon facts? Because I can back up the mormon teaching Mitt ‘denouces’ in this satire.
Well said, E.
I don’t hate Mitt because of his religion. I hate him because of his politics. I DISTRUST him because of his religion. I know too much about it, having been Mormon myself for many years.
