Count on every new election year getting more outrageous and possibly more violent until the country boils over, possibly like in 1860 or republican democracy as we know it peters out.

Did you know Sir Harry is a big NRA supporter, except when he is Voting to take away our Second Amendment Rights of course? Then again, I recall hearing that Sir Harry the Mormon is Pro Life.

I think Mitt will mirror Sir Harry's viewpoints as well.

Eeny meeny miny mo...

Agreed. They would ridicule a Catholic, a Baptist or a Jew as well. Believe in God and you are pretty much fair game IF you are a Republican. I think if a Democrat ran and was a satanist... they would discuss how “open”, “modern and unique” their religion choice was and how it would help the country.

Yeah, I have my own interests in converting Mormons back to Christianity, however, if anything, the last thing neccessary for this is guys like this one on TV. Frankly, he’s encouraging us to not be missionaries to them in the manner that Jesus recommended.

I am trying to imagine the “mindset” with which anyone could think it proper to mock someone’s religion on a TV news ahow. I am failing.

Well, I guess the point is, a reporter shouldn’t be mocking *anything*...they report, we decide... I don’t like Romney and do not want to vote for him but that video was disgusting.

Well, this guy in this case is likely to get posted up by the left, as a poster child of what the right is, we all remember how the Anarchist who shot Giffords was portrayed as, right?

I didn't see anything offensive. I used to room with a Mormon back in the '80's, and those are indeed all tenets of the faith. I'm not sure why, but I've heard some Mormons more recently trying to "walk back" (deny) some of that stuff (I guess like the whole Mormon faith did their belief up until the 1970's that "blacks" or "negroes" were the people the Bible referred to as having "the mark of the Devil" on them).

Needless to say, all Mormons are definitely very different from scriptural Christians, and their "Book" that was "translated" with the help of "peep stones" finds them among what many believe to be a rather select group of monstrously deluded religious fruitcakes.

And as you so aptly put, The Lord is watching. Amen.

I couldn’t care less about his religion. I’m more concerned with his liberalism.

That's it in a nutshell. There is little difference between Mitt and Obama.

Amen indeed. The Lord will help us through this. I trust and believe His loving hand will guide us all.

Revealing the truth of what people believe is a good thing. If people really knew what liberals believed, none of them would get elected.

Seems to me there is a real lack of manners & common sense in the media. It is lacking in many people too sadly.

I do so agree, it was disgusting! ... And I'm one of the 'Flying Inmans' who get on religion threads about MormonISM and post direct quotes from LDS archives which show mormonISM is actually not Christian and in fact the founders taught things that are anti-Christian.

What the euphemistically called 'reporter' did was mock and ridicule Mormons--the people--under the guise of exposing what Romney believes. To mock Mittiac's fellow religionists on a supposed News program, laughing at the foolishness in MormonISM in the context of mocking the people, is disgusting because it is so Alinskyesque to ridicule Mormons--the people--when they're trapped in that religion.

As a poster already stated, it mkaes it doubly hard to reach the people caught up in this religion when idiot reporters mock people who are being deceived.

Agree. I do care more that he got a number of deferments during Vietnam based on that religion.

Amen! Don’t care about his religious views (even though I don’t agree), it’s that liberal streak that will keep me from voting for him.

I agree with you there, look at his track record as a governer. His religious beliefs are the least of our worries. He is socialist-lite IMO.

The reporter was disgusting.

I don’t give a hoot about the mans religion and anyone that does is a fool in my book.

I care about him being a RINO.

As Glenn Beck wound his show down he tried to get as many of the candidates on the show as possible. He’s had Sarah Palin on, Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry on but the only one he really slammed was Romney and it was over political ideology (Socialism lite)

Those pushing Romney’s candidacy are kidding themselves if they think his religion will not be a major factor.
