I think that the loud but vocal Mormon haters have driven a lot of Catholics to Mitt because they understand these same yahoos view Catholics as second-class Christians.
They leave their warped anti-Catholic tracts all over the shopping malls in the area in which I live, predominately Catholic.
They look and read surprisingly similar to the anti-Mormon tracts I've collected in Utah or other places where Mormons are the predominant religion.
Both tracts give a Grand Rapids, Michigan address.
Fairly ironic that these yahoos might actually end up getting Romney nominated and elected, isn't it?
Remember the Democrat lawyers high-fiving each other during the Florida recount debacle in 2000 after disqualifying a large number of military votes? Remember how foolish they looked a couple weeks later when they went back wanting to count every vote of dimpled or hanging chads in selected districts?
Remember the Mormon hating bigots high fiving each other after they put Huckabee over the top in Iowa? Won't it be priceless when the Evangelical Christian Conservatives they claim to own reject Huckabee in growing numbers as the primaries move along?
God must have a sense of humor!
It is interesting, isn’t it? Mormons and Catholics get along just fine. Seems the people picking the fights aren’t us.
I’m no huge fan of Mitt (record, not religion—as a Catholic, I can empathize with any Mormon who has been on the receiving end of religious bigotry—record gives me pause OTOH—although I do find substantial flaws in Mormon theology), but you couldn’t have said it better.. Feeling more hopeless by the second (wish Fred waited till Super Tuesday so that Rats and Independents can’t dilute our vote in largely closed party primaries the way they have til now), but feel Mitt Romney is the only hope for the GOP to avoid the words “President Hillary Rodham Clinton” for the next 4-8 years.
Loved that post. The irony may soon be complete.
