“where in this case the issue of Romney’s being a Mormon had had thousands of articles written about the subject then, yes, a smart and reasonable response to being asked about Mormonism would have been...”
Nothing was written to explain Romney’s cult beliefs, the word Mormon was mentioned a lot less than evangelical, but it was mentioned, that is all.
Never did anyone really delve into the Mormon religion.
Show me the thousands of articles that will answer or even discuss the worlds questions about Mormonism, think about the reaction of the media to the single question that was reported to have come up during that two hour drive, you are outraged by it.
If thousands of articles had raised such questions we would know more now about Mormonism than we did a year ago, but we don’t do we?
First of all, thanks for using the "cult" label. It lets me know what mindset I'm dealing with.
I didn't say more or less, I said thousands and I know that is true. The subject of Evangelicals has been discussed for over 25 years now. Some people wrote about Romney's "cult belief" by talking to members, former members, officials, critics, supporters, agnostics etc. Some just opined on their own. Dozens of polls were done about whether one's vote would be affected by Romney's Mormonism. So your opinion that the "cult belief's" of Romney's were never "delved into" shows either ignorance or dishonesty.

Depends on who you are asking and what they read and what the sources were. Dozens of articles have been posted here with the subject of Romney and/or LDS/Mormons, some vanity and some sourced, with thousands and thousands of responses. There been massive discussions on this board about the subject (I've seen some of your posts) so it's beyond belief that you contend that knowledge of the subject is less than a year ago. It's subjective as to what the RIGHT opinion is on the subject but indisputedly many opinions have been made. So your use of absolutes like "nothing" and "never" don't hold up to the simplest scrutiny, your logic...simply illogical.
