“If anyone thinks Romney wasn’t carefully groomed to be a Trojan Horse doesn’t know how this all works.”
You know, I’m starting to have a very bad taste in my mouth for Evangelicals. I’m trying not to paint with a broad brush here, but some of you Evangelicals, and you know who you are, are sick puppies, who twist the whole meaning of religiosity. It’s one thing to believe in your own beliefs, it’s entirely another to slam someone elses and how they were raised, with their traditions and beliefs. And to base your votes for such an important position as President of the U.S. on what religion they are or aren’t. Has Mitt Romney led an exemplary lifestyle? Yes. Has he ever appeared to insert his religious beliefs into his business dealings as CEO, his running of the Olympics, his decisions as Governor of the State of Massachusetts? No, and if you think otherwise, give proof. So why would his being Mormon have anything to do with how he would govern as President? There are some bad-minded people out there amongst the Evangelical movement. You small-minded souls amongst the Evangelicals are doing nothing for your image to the rest of the country. You’ll just reinforce the image of red-necked southern crackers who are snake-handlers or speak in tongues while throwing your hands up in the air singing praise the lord at the top of your lungs. Like the image? Two can play the same game.

I’ve given eight months worth of proof. I had a crooked Temple Mormon partner for 12 years. I work for a now atheist shunned ex-Mormon. My Senator is scheister Harry Reid and I have political ties to his former Mormon protege Dario Herrera (now in the slammer for bribes from a titty bar owner). I helped run a Mormons campaign for commissioner. I consulted a Mormon hydroponics farm that used magical water. I am consulting some Gentiles who are having their inheritance in effect stolen by the Mormon executor. Because of having been on the wrong side of Mormon deals time after time, I’ve read more Mormon history than most Mormons. I could go on and on.
In short, my views are based on ample experience. I don’t have bad feelings about most Mormons, but those in positions of power tend to confuse that power with God given rights that can become quite nasty. And what would your opinions be based on???

(Yeah, we know)
This is the same spirit that we see on the other side of the world, the Jihadists. We too have fundamentailst who think they must do God’s work by destroying the “enemy.” Ours too attack from the shadows and won’t identify themselves. That is, they know they are doing dirty work, so they won’t say what church or religion they represent. However, by the details of their posts, we know they are fundamentalist Evangelicals. They are like the "sons of thunder" who wanted to bring down fire onto a city, to whom Jesus said, "Ye know not what spirit ye are of."
Their activities on these threads accomplish two valuable things, however. They give Mormons and many others a chance to show their reasonableness compared to this antagonistic spirit. And second, it serves to demonstrate to us what we must never allow into the oval office, a narrow minded, intolerant, antagonistic, fundamentalist Evangelical.
What is an “evangelical”?
...There are some bad-minded people out there amongst the Evangelical movement. You small-minded souls amongst the Evangelicals are doing nothing for your image to the rest of the country.
You don't say. Perhaps it is just how we small-minded souls were raised, with our traditions and beliefs and what-not. You know, to slam other peoples' beliefs.
Cordially,
