It’s sort of funny if you think about it. I mean, Free Republic people arguing against property rights is sort of humorous, don’t you think?
I agree with you, OMm...It is kinda funny.
Whoever made the decision to use the Mormon facility, and thereby creating this issue for the poll workers (I don't consider it an issue for the voters because they can vote within a few minutes) and for the Mormons...made the wrong decision and should reconsider moving the polling place.
It is the Mormon's facility and their rules...I believe that it is reasonable to abide by the rules...if not feasible, then find a new polling place.
Does this issue have any political or theological implications?
Some of Utah's smartest political prognosticators say Mitt Romney's exit from the Republican presidential campaign could have many Utahns, including Mormon Republicans, crossing the political no-man's land and voting for Democrat Barack Obama in November.
This is no joke. And there's polling that backs up what seems like an unlikely scenario....
One poster said:
As a politically active Mormon from Utah, I have been looking for the best candidate in each party for over a year. I was a fan of Tom Vilsack before he dropped out (anyone remember him?) and I have been a supporter of Obama since long before Romney dropped out. That being said, I also thought Romney was the best candidate among the Republicans who had a chance.
Another poster said: So yes, Obama would have my vote in November.
While another stated:
If you are a Mormon and you can choose between McCain and a historic vote for Obama, why not?
And, finally:
I'm Christian and belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I'm a huge Mitt Romney supporter and I gave him $2,300. I'm voting for Obama in November. The GOP should be scared that Mormons will leave the GOP. Huckabee is such a religious right winged Bigot (capital B). I think Mormons should leave the GOP. I'm going to register as a Dem, but I'll vote Mitt in 2012 and probably give him more money.
Just how why spread is th Mormon support for Obama, OMm and any other Mormon who may know)?
And doesn't Obama's political policies conflict with Mormon doctrine (abortion, homosexuality, etc.)?
