I think part of it has to do with the recent history of the Mormons. Their founder is part of recent US history, claimed an archangel directed him.
Mormons say Indians are a lost tribe of Israelis, DNA results notwithstanding, blacks can make into heaven as slaves and of course there is the holy undies.
But my biggest concern in my travels to Salt Lake City is the lack of a sense of humor in them. They are polite people but there's this weird lack of humor.
Romney sounds like a fine executive and deserves a hearing on his own merits, holy underwear and/or hand grenade notwithstanding.
I admit that their sense of humor is not yours or mine, I hope that none of my four or five thousand Mormon relatives read this and figure out my screen name.
Plus, you can't trust anybody that doesn't drink caffeine.
I'm laughing at your ignorance. Does that count?
