Until I experience the tactics and personalities of a few of the Mormon Apologists at FR, I was of a mind that Romney’s Mormonism would be a hindrance to his being elected. You warned me but I plodded merrily ahead anyway. NOW, I’m convinced that the negatives the DNC goons can exploit far outweigh any 'hold your nose and support the Pubby candidate' rationalization. I'm now wondering why Saundra even posted this essay, much less why she wrote it from such an extreme perspective as the title spittles forth. Perhaps it was destined for BYU class where playing the 'poor us' card is favored with higher grades. It won't play well with the vast conservative masses needed to overcome liberal sycophancy and dead voters.

Romney is in a world of hurt: The people who know Mormonism is a cult think he is weird; and, the people who don’t know it’s a cult think he is a dreaded Christian!

Did you mean: " I was of a mind that Romney’s Mormonism would NOT be a hindrance to his being elected?

Saundra, by her own admission on another thread, is a recent convert to the mormon faith, with the attendant fervor of same. I have no doubt that she feels the "burning in the bosom" and is truly aghast at what she is learning on these threads. I stated on an earlier post that IMO the "we're being persecuted" meme is so ingrained in mormons that it has almost become a genetic mutation. It is generally the first and last offense/defense in a debate. Remember generations have been taught that Joseph Smith was a martyr, killed by a mob while being harmlessly locked up. There is generally no mention of the fact that Smith and his companions were armed and shooting back, and he was not thrown in jail for having brought the "true church" to the world.

When the DNC goons such as Begala and Carvile begin their attacks, there will be no debate. There will be no forum moderators. The not-so-palatable facts will be exaggerated, pruned and blared forth on the MSM, tarring not only Romney and the mormons, but every believing Christian even more thoroughly than before.

I’m pleased to read that. I didn’t necessarily agree with your earlier position... and knowing how logical and intelligent you are, I was concerned if I had missed something that you had found.

I agree that if Romney is the nominee, it will be like handing the keys to the WH to Hillary.

That is the reason why I think he will never be the nominee.
