One more thing: Did you know the founding of the Republican Party in the 1850s was based on 2 moral issues?
1) The abolition of slavery.
2) The abolition of Mormon polygamy.
Not until the 1890 did the mainline LDS ban polygamy, and this only because Utah was not allowed to become a state unless they did. 1890 is NOT very long ago in history folks.
We won’t discuss how it was not until the mid 1970s that African-Americans were allowed to be LDS elders either.
For the GOP to nominate an LDS candidate would be to turn its back on its roots.
The GOP also used to support high tarrifs and anti-Catholic legislation like the Blaine Amendments.
Well, The GOP leaderhsip has turned their backs on conservatives, so why not?
But we know who is going to get the dyslexic hippie vote.
1) The abolition of slavery.
2) The abolition of Mormon polygamy."
Mission accomplished. I guess we can disband and form a new party. What shall we do now? Exterminate the Mormons?
"For the GOP to nominate an LDS candidate would be to turn its back on its roots."
Interesting logic. I suppose all Mormons should be banned from the Republican Party, or do we just accept their votes, money and support, and ban them from holding office? Maybe we could just save time and exterminate all of those dirty decendents of people that stopped practicing polygamy 117 years ago.
