"And what difference would it make if some of the leaders of the Mormon Church supported Romney? Is that a crime?"
Umm, no. No crime.
Why deny it? I fully expect his son to support him! But to deny the reasons for the meeting is silly. Whats wrong with the truth?
Mormons have not always been in the Republican camp. During the 30's and 40's the majority of members and their non-member neighbors were Democrats and voted that way. My parents and grandparents thought FDR was a minor deity. In the 70' and 80's many members saw the light and went right. Now they are solid conservatives, but no one in authority told them to go in that direction. They simply learned the facts and chose correctly. Would that the rest of the nation were as well informed about the real issues and the political facts of life.
