C'mon.

I have said Mormonism isn't Christian, the view that pretty much all Christians share. It's also a view that most Mormons on this site have denounced at ignorant and hateful, which says more about them than anything.
I have counted three posts in this thread where you’ve attacked Romney or his supporters for his religion.
I have not attacked Mormonism. Quote where I did. QUOTE IT. However, it is clear to me that many Mormons support Mitt only because he is Mormon. If he were not Mormon, there is no way they would support him. They'd be calling him a phony, fake, liberal, etc. Sadly, they have let their common religion get in the way of their brains functioning, and they regard Mitt as their political savior and idol who can do no wrong. It's creepy, it's unhealthy to worship a politician like that, and it's blatant. They'll say the most irrational things to avoid admitting any fault with Mitt.

You’re right. The only example I could find from recent months was the following:

That certainly isn’t enough to justify the charge I have leveled at you. It’s plain that I’ve confused you with others. You, sir, have my sincere apologies for my knee-jerk and unwarranted reaction.

That much you have said, and it is false. I am a Mormon, and I am a Christian, as I follow Jesus Christ and worship Him as my personal Savior. All else is details. As far as I’m concerned, that is the end of the discussion. Those who tell me I’m not a Christian because they are applying their traditional philosophies of what a Christian is are certainly ignorant, and a few of them are hateful.

There are a few, but I reject the premise that there are “many.” Where such an attitude does exist, I am just as comfortable with the label of religious bigotry for religious-based support as I am for religious-based opposition. I do think you see Mormons where there are none - I doubt a third of the people on the Mitt ping list, for example, are LDS. Just as many of my LDS FReeper friends are Thompson supporters as Romney supporters at this stage. Personally, I’m about 60%/40% in Romney’s favor. Besides Thompson, I’m not even considering anybody else at this stage.
So, in that point, I maintain my position. You try to discredit many of Romney’s supporters on the grounds that they wouldn’t support him if they didn’t share his faith. Well, his base isn’t made up of Mormons. He’s attracted all types to his campaign, and by chalking up his support to some kind of transposed religious fanaticism (and for that, I do have quotes), you severely misunderstand and underestimate his appeal.
I don’t know where you got the idea that Mormons worship Romney. Sometimes he(Mitt) is too cute with his answers. I actually am beginning to like Mike Huckabee. He seems to bring a great deal of clarity to the equation. I acknowledge that Mitt is a great intellect and a fantastic organizer and yet Huckabee seems to nail his points better. Isn’t he a Baptist? Am I supposed to hate him? To me, he seems like a very nice guy with a big heart. Do you think he hates Mormons? If so, I guess I will be getting my check back.
