Fair to Compare Mormons for Romney to Blacks for Obama?

In this weekends Nevada caucus, the first primary contest with a large percent of Mormon voters (26% of participants), Mitt Romney won handily by 50 percent of the total. But he strikingly won 90 percent of the Mormon vote.
During the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, African-Americans were criticized for blindly following Obama because of race. Similar charges are not being leveled, at least not to the same extent, against Mormon voters for Romney.
(snip)
There is no question that anti-Mormon bias is going to be a factor among some Republican voters when it comes to Romney. But Im also interested in whether and how the close hewing of Mormon voters to Romney as a candidate will be explored with the same persistence than the black vote for Obama did.

I’m not very concerned about Mormons themselves but I do think its odd that Obama has faced tougher questions about religion than Romney has.

please site your MSM sources where BO has faced any tough questions regarding his religion? don’t worry, if Romney gets the nomination, the MSM will even be snooping into the underwear of mormon practitioners.

Maybe you're a Mormon, maybe you're not ...
"Are Mormons the "Black Political Base" for Romney ?"
I AM NOT a Mormon, yet I know good, decent people that are, including my neighbor John and Family ...
But, friend ... I "cringe" for what's about to happen to the Joe-Six-Pack perception of the (otherwise Anti-Christ) Mormon faith ..
Rest assured, the Drive-By Liberal News Media ...
who are "deliberately" holding their fire on Mitt Romney ...
have planned for him ... and the rest of Mormonism ...
the absolute "hell fire" of a Stalizist-Nazi Propaganda war that would make Gobbels weep ... in shame ...
Who was supposedly a "major factor" in defeating California Gay Marriage ... a couple of years back ...
The Church of LDS ...
And Mormons will pay the "blood vengance" price for the "anti-faggot" campaign ... in ways Mormons do not yet TRULY understand ...
Have you ever read of the "Battle of Cannae" ... where Hannibel encircled and slaughtered 80,000 of Rome's Best in a single day ?
The Liberal Media will be advocating that (otherwise innocent) Mormon children committ suicide for their parents' grevious" War Crimes Against Hummanity ...
Are you naive enough to think that the OWS protests will "only" be at the Tampa GOP Convention ... bloody riots, as it were ?
No ... my friend ... Mormon churches (on Sunday after Sunday) will be picketed, some will be burned ...
And then ... "magically" ... some (Obama-Axelrod-campaign-planted "former Mormon" will kill a faggot somewhere ...
Was the "good man" provoked by the faggot ?
Of course ...
Did the faggot insult the good moral honor of the man's wife and daughters, and (laughingly) threaten to seduce and sodimze his sons ?
Of course, "all on script" ... just like the movie "Wag The Dog" ...
BUT you'll never hear "that" on Fox News or Matt Drudge ...
All you (and 2.5 billion other Earth inhabitants) will hear about is the "viscious" hate crime against humannity ...
If I was a practicing Mormon ... the LAST thing I would ever want is "Mitt Romney" as a POTUS candidate ...

Im not very concerned about Mormons themselves but I do think its odd that Obama has faced tougher questions about religion than Romney has. Once Romney wins the nomination (if he wins it, and sadly it seems that may happen) you can be 100% certain that the questions will come hard and fast. They (the media and the Left PAC groups) are keeping their powder dry, and once the nominee is chosen the firestorm that will come will break records. Mark my words. It will go down in history as one of the fiercest political conflagrations. Why should Obama/Left/Media attack Romney now? Or, for that matter, any of the other Republican candidates? The four of them are doing such a grand job tearing each other down in public, and as the adage says when you see your enemies destroying each other the best thing to do is to stand back and watch. Now, once the nominee is chosen the entire rubric has changed, and the attacks from the left will commence. There are attacks for Romney, for Santorum and for Gingrich (I don't think anyone has bothered with Paul since he is but a joke). The questions about religion and Romney will come flying in if Romney is selected as the Republican Candidate.
Until then there will be no tough questions.
