OTOH, Mormons, unlike Scientologists, are a familiar and long-running presence in U.S. politics , serving as Mayors, Governors, Congressmen, Senators, and in high-level appointed positions. They have ranged from liberal to very conservative, but have on balance been Republican and right-of-center. Some have been awful, some very good, most have been somewhere in between. In other words Mormon politicians are...wait for it...politicians.

I stand entirely by my position. I’ve read enough about Mormonism on FR to know that it is a bogus man made religion with a very odd structure, set of beliefs and such structure and beliefs influence its members. I’m not saying all Mormons are bad etc, but if a Mormon is running for President, his religious beliefs and membership is fair game for debate. Just as if a Scientologist or Muslim were running.
