I agree with your political concerns about Romney—he’s definitely nothing but a FAKE conservative... but it’s not bigotry to have religious concerns stronger than political ones.

I’m more than happy to admit that I find the religious prospect of the LDS cult being given unprecedented world-wide legitimacy, status, and prestige outweighs my concern of the political prospect even of a Democrat regime... Like in my life, my RELIGIOUS concerns are deeper than my POLITICAL concerns.

The Republican party was founded in the 1850s out of the moral concerns on two things: 1) Abolition of slavery 2) Abhorrence to Mormon polygamy.

It would be a great irony to elect a president descendant and in agreement with those who preached and practiced #2.

You can count that there are MILLIONS of evangelicals just like me....call it bigotry or whatever you want, I don’t care, but I will not support or vote for a prominent member of a pernicious anti-Christian cult.

It would also be an irony for someone to refuse to vote for another American merely because he is a Mormon, given the founding of Massachusetts by the Pilgrims, a religious group who fled Europe to avoid religious persecution.
