You don’t get it do you? Everything about Mormonism affects the lives of individual Mormons including Mitt. I judge his actions based upon my experience with those like him, it does not make me a bigot.

The problem (as I have pointed out previously) is that Mormonism teaches its adherants to withhold information and distort their record. Adherants are often taught not to look too closely at evidence that might not bolster the position of the Church in regards to history or practices. This is a dangerous trait in a President.

The simple fact that Mitt is known as a panderer and flip-flopper highlight the problem with truth and being open and honest that I am talking about. If you can prove to me that Mitt is genuine and doesn’t pander and distort, then I might consider voting for him....

"I judge his actions based upon my experience with those like him, it does not make me a bigot." ROFLOL!!!!! You're kidding, right? You judge his actions based on your experience with those like him? That is the very definition of prejudice. You're making a judgment about an individual based on the actions of people he may not even know. But, simply because they share his faith, you are judging him.

"The simple fact that Mitt is known as a panderer and flip-flopper highlight the problem with truth and being open and honest that I am talking about. If you can prove to me that Mitt is genuine and doesn’t pander and distort, then I might consider voting for him...." First of all, I don't know that Mitt is any more a panderer or flip-flopper than any other candidate. It seems they all have an inconsistency issue here or there. I find it interesting that you consider that a reflection of his faith, rather than a reflection of his profession.
