Do you see Huckabee being criticized because some Baptist minister 150 years ago defending slavery from the Bible?
People can put things in perspective if they want to.
Orson Hyde said something stupid. That was over 100 years ago. Any intelligent person would know that what he said was not Mormon doctrine, he was speculating on his own, and probably was brought on the carpet for it in privacy. Orson Hyde was not running for office in the last election. When a Presbyterian runs for office, do we need to bring up the fact that Calvin supported having someone burned at the stake? If a Catholic runs, do we bring up medieval activities?
The only reason Democrats would use such material is because Republicans in the primary show they are sensitive to it. And if they had done it, that would have opened up the whole issue of Rev. Wright, etc. I doubt if they would want that.

You are splitting hairs by making a distinction between anti-Mormon and anti-Mormonism. I make no distinction. And what has either to do with the election?
To: broncobilly
Obviously you make no distinction because you like to carry that false chip on your shoulders. Mormons are people, fellow Americans. Mormonism is an heretical christianity lookalike cult. Obviously you don’t want anyone opposing your cult, so you whine that opposition to your cult is attacking you.

The M-word Romney had problems with wasn't Mormon. It was Massachusetts. To become governor in that very liberal state, he had to do a lot of things and take sides on issues that spoiled his image. He either lied to become governor, was lying when he was running for the presidential nomination or had a true conversion in his politics. Lying politicians are a lot more common than true conversions, so I assumed the worst - he was a Massachusetts politician running as a conservative. I was willing to hold my nose when it got towards the end, but then he soon dropped out.
He might be in the White House if he had been the governor of a southern, midwestern or western state and had run and governed as a conservative.

I don’t think so.
My preferences were Hunter, then Thompson after he withdrew, and then Romney once Thompson fell by the wayside.
Faced with McCain, absent any real conservative alternative, I thought Romney was the better choice, but he withdrew when in my opinion he ought to have stood and fought, he still had a chance to overcome McCain. His withdrawal told me he didn’t have the stomach for a fight. Nor did Thompson, sadly.

He was preferable to McQueeg. His religion did not help him, that’s for sure.

They would have made much more use of Mitt's “varying” political positions than any religious issue...

He is extremely moderate. That sounds like a contradiction in terms. What he was, was extremely liberal.

Would you like me to bring up the posts where you call Mormon's agents of Satan? Would that kind of qualify as being anti-Mormon? Just curious
