Yeah, I read, and commented to D about that, which is below the belt, and I feel, reflexively anti-Mormon, if not out right bigotry. I was commenting on his links and information posts, which I think are fair and accurate, and I support as much information of every candidate as possible and encourage everyone to research and share as they will, as much as possible
As you well know, I think Mitt has real, common enough ideological/political problems.
At a deeper level I do feel that there is some effect of his heritage as a Mormon, which I feel is fair ground, but should be handled much as JFK’s Catholicism was. Further, there is a sort of ‘heads you lose, tails I win’ trap for Mormons expressed often on FR, and society in general. I feel and think that is unfair, wrong, and has little place in a multi-religious nation that should respect private lives and honor good spirited public participation.
I don’t feel Mitt is bad man. I think he is a reasonable a good man, a fine father and a good citizen and a good representative for Mormonism.
If he should win the nomination, I will support him.
I don't know if was trying to write a novel, but it is totally asinine.
Sure, about as good as the Udalls and Harry Reid. Teddy Kennedy was a good Representative for Catholics too. :p
