Tennessee Nana, who knows more on this subject than I do, wrote this previously on the topic of the LDS and Prop 8:
“the Mormons had to have something to occupy their time since their fair haired boy Willard had been beaten by the big bad apostate Senator McCain..
so they looked around for something that would pass as “busy work”
and lo and behold, the Baptists had been working for years in California to pass a law against gay marriage...
the legislation wasnt quite ready and 2008 was not the year to try it but what the hey who cared it would do as a cover...
(and make the Willard the “moderate progressive” (his own words) seem “conservative” and the Mormons along with him)
so the Mormons muscled into the Baptists project andf took over insisting on throwing the raw material out into the winds of chance...
They werent intending to really help the “gentile” Christians, or pass any legislation, they just wanted to hide and have a cover...
anything but be exposed as refusing to help McCain get elected And beat a “black man”
Yes kid, the Mormons threw MILLIONS and many man hours at California knowing that Prop 8 couldn’t pass as is or if it did squeak by it was doomed to be overturned i nb the courts...
The Mormons wrestled the projust from the quite capable Christians and destroyed the careful work of years...
The whole aim was to avoid helping McCain get elected and beat their Mormon guy to the White House...
Shades of George Romney who in 1964 taught the Mormons how to stomp on the Republican and aid the Democrat...
and that dear kiddies is the rest of the story...”

I’ll also add that Mitt Romney’s support of gays in the boyscout, and his getting permission by the LDS to take a pro-abortion stance in Mass., pretty much nullifies even having the LDS around as useful servants of our cause. They are not even reliable political friends, as the motivations and actions of the LDS leadership revolves around benefiting themselves and the promotion of their cult.
“First, I never said anything about Mormons being equal to Christians. In fact, my whole point was that they DON’T HAVE TO BE EQUAL to Christians to be our natural allies IN THIS FIGHT. “
I never said that you said anything about Mormons being equal to Christians. I said that using the Mormons to fight social battles gives the appearance that they are equal and accepted by Christianity. You might as well, at this point, cast out devils by Beelzebub or Belial.
