1. I detest mormonISM..born into it, lived it and left it. 2. Lived with mormons for years...they are no better or worse than any other group of people. I personally know this.
Why do you defend the sect? How much, exactly do you KNOW about the doctrines and practices?
Oh you have a philosophical problem with the religion, sorry I thought you were speaking of mormons more generally.
OCD perhaps?

I think we need to give the Mormonism thing a rest. I’m not a Romney supporter, I’m not Mormon, although I know quite a bit about Mormon doctrine and theology. I disagree with Mormon theology regarding salvation, their view of the Diety of Christ, and a whole bunch of other things -
However, that being said, Romney is not running for Pastor or Priest (though I do believe personal character is important and relevant) and, he seems to be a descent enough fellow morally.
I think we must focus on what these candidates stand for on the political issues - not their religion per se.
I don’t see Romney making a big issue of his Mormonism nor do I see him attempting to make his home state a Mormon theocracy - do you? Why think he would do that with the country as a whole?
Your constant harping on his religion just isn’t helping anything. All you are doing is alienating people (for the wrong reasons). You are not changing any minds about Romney - you’re just making people mad (of course, if that is your intent then you’ve been quite successful).
So, I advise once again - give it a rest. Go after him for his political stands - not his religion - it just isn’t relevant in this instance.
