With the choice of devout Catholic Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney, a Mormon, has arguably crafted the most religiously unique ticket in presidential history. Both religions have interesting precedent in presidential politics, however, with varying degrees of success.
John F. Kennedy was famously the first and only Catholic to be elected president. Less than two months before the 1960 election, JFK addressed the Greater Houston Ministerial Association in a hope to allay fears that the pope would use him as a conduit into American politics.
Mitt Romney's father, George, also a Mormon, was a serious Republican candidate for president in 1968. Most political observers believe he didn't get far enough in the process to have his Mormon faith fully examined or questioned. Perhaps facing a more determined press than in '68, Mitt's Mormonism was questioned in his first run for president. He, like JFK, felt the need to address his faith publicly and did so in December 2007.

MORMON
Some Characteristics...
1-Critics should be silenced. 2-Anything remotely unfavorable to the church is ANTI-MORMON and should be quickly labeled as such. 3-Balance is not required or desired. Everything in print should sing the unending praises of Jesus true cult. 4-Jesus has one true church. All other opinions are of Satan and should be held with the appropriate contempt. 5-Mormons are the moral majority and have the right, or even duty, to correct the misinformed. 6-Free speech should be allowed so that people can freely praise the church. Other forms of free speech are unnecessary. 7-The Mormon church is responsible for everything good in Utah and nothing bad. If you feel the church may be associated with something negative please refer to point two above. 8-Opinions other that the correct Mormon opinion are invalid, offensive, and not worthy of voice. 9-The Mormon church has never done anything to be ashamed of. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!!! |

Statues to his glory can be found about a block away from the city park in Fruita, CO. (that's ALMOST in Utah...)

Sorry; but you've got your religious groups confused.
It's the AMISH without the cars.
