At this point, you disingenuously change my question. I didn’t specify Romney, I wrote “a Mormon President.” You make reference to “mitt” specifically:
aMorePerfectUnion: But until Mitt talks with the American people about his basic beliefs and convinces them that even though he is in a fringe religious group (numerically), that he is still normal (sic).L.N. Smithee: So let me ask YOU: What exactly is it that YOU fear might happen if this country elects a Mormon President? Can YOU even articulate it? Don't chicken out.
aMPU: I, personally, will not be voting for someone in a cult for POTUS - regardless if the cult is mormonism, jehovah’s witness, Hare Krishna, etc. That’s pretty simple.
LNS: So, you're like the people who could never vote for John or Robert Kennedy -- not because of their policies, but because they had some twisted idea that the United States would be run by remote control from the Vatican…You don’t and can’t speak for “The American People.” Don’t project your ignorance and bigotry on the rest of us.
aMPU: [JFK] wasn’t a cultist…Bigotry is an interesting word. I do believe that my beliefs are better than other groups…I’m also bigoted towards those in cults when it comes to voting for POTUS.
LNS: You have yet to answer my question, which should be easy to answer: What exactly is it that YOU fear might happen if this country elects a Mormon President? Can YOU even articulate it?
aMPU: I never once said I was afraid that something would happen to the country if mitt were elected... so to insist that I answer your question is silly.I am simply not voting for mitt because:
1. He has the Rhino Virus
2. Favorable toward gay rights
3. Conversion of convenience to the Pro-life position
4. In a cult and thinks he will be a god of his own planet
5. Is a businessman and not suited to the Big Chair
Let's suppose that everything you wanted in a Presidential candidate was in place, except that said person was a Mormon. You wouldn't vote for that person. Why not? You still haven’t yet articulated why you couldn’t besides the equivalent of “just because.”
Miss Smithee,
“At this point, you disingenuously change my question.”
Why is it that the first thing a mormon does is accuse
someone they disagree with of lying and distorting the
truth? Do they teach that as a tactic?
I assume you have not participated in the Mitt Romney/
POTUS discussions that have taken place over the past
5 months here at FR? If you had, you would have the
answer to your question, because it’s been discussed
endlessly. To give you a head start, it had nothing
to do with “What ...YOU fear might happen if this country elects a Mormon President” - as you phrased it.
I do not “owe” you an answer. I’ve been clear that I
will not vote for any cultist for POTUS - including
someone trapped in the cult of mormonism... whether it
is mitt or another person trapped in mormonism.
best,
