This also probably tells you that despite tens of millions
and maybe hundreds of millions of dollars spent by the
mormon church on PR to polish their image, a pretty solid
40-50% aren’t buying it.

an anti-mormon group
The good news for mormons is that respondents dislike
atheists as candidates even more than mormons!
How do I know that ~ well, Mit gets away with it, and he's doggone near being a billionaire, and that talkshow host on a local show is local ~
Grig,
You are welcome to excuse your prophet for believing
wacky things, immoral things, blasphemous things,
unBiblical things, etc. I assume as a Canadian, you
have rights covering all that.
Those of us not under the spell look and identify as
wacky and non credible and evil.

~”Fact is that EVERYBODY from the 19th century or before had wacky ideas.”~
But not us! No way!
By the way, have you seen my jacket? This blasted global warming is making it cold outside.
Hope you noticed that's what that map shows.
A Liberal victory would doom Canada to existence as a third-world hellhole filled with unemployed, illiterate peasants who know only to suck up to the padrones.
This would also mean that wealthy Canadians could continue to purchase condos in Miami just like wealthy Mexicans.
Thanks for the link, AMPU. Bookmarked for later reference.
Those darned women get us every time. It seems women are measurably less religiously tolerant than men. I wonder if the fact that Mitt’s such a hottie would help that out?
I couldn’t help but notice that Rasmussen twice misspells “Mormon” in this document. Not a good sign from our friendly pollsters...
You can take a chill pill, too, FRiend. My blood pressure is fine. If you didn’t mean it, why did you say Mormons claimed to discover the Salt Lake? Something you were thinking not make it through to the keyboard? If so, I’ll forgive you, having had moments like that myself.
Did look at your about page, and I’d be interested in one of those McNamara bricks, if you still have some to spare. Being LDS, I don’t drink beer, but I’m sure I could find something to splatter on one. I used to crew F-111D’s at Cannon AFB. The F-111 was also known as McNamara’s Folly.
~”A Liberal victory would doom Canada to existence as a third-world hellhole filled with unemployed, illiterate peasants who know only to suck up to the padrones.”~
Besides the French vs. Spanish thing, where’s the distinction?
Good grief, Grig, I’m sorry. That just sort of slipped out.
~”Im leaving it in news for at this time for the candidate to have a wider exposure, but may move it later.”~
Turns out to have been a great call.
Bump for later!
If you’ve read what else I’ve posted here, you will know that on my list of candidates, Romney is above Clinton, but not by all that much. I’m looking for facts that will help me make a definate decision as to where he should be on the list. Having changed my own opinions on, for example, abortion, having something showing quotations in chronological order would be useful to me. Becoming Pro-Life in the past couple of years would be, imho, a serious red flag. A decade ago? Not so bad. My son is 15, and his birth had much to do with my change in attitude. There are very few children in the world as wanted as he is. (That is not saying there aren’t a whole bunch of them who are very much wanted, either.) I also favor the joke that asks how you can tell if a politician is lying, too.
Thanks. I see it now.
After how many years I’ve been posting here? ARGHHHHH!!! Maybe I need to have the wiper blades replaced on the window in my navel.
“I wonder if the fact that Mitts such a hottie would help that out?”
Is there a reason you are unmarried...? “Not that there’s
anything wrong with that...”
I find him to be fake.
I dont remember a passage, and here you can
help me, where the Bible says the moon, sun
and stars are inhabited. In the case of the
sun and stars, they are fire-people, apparently.
969 years, according to www.lds.org. Close to a thousand, anyway, and they are citing the Bible.
As for Joseph Smith, and moon people, see this link:
OS,
no doubt there are many things about using FR I do
not know yet... and I’ve been here for a few years.
such is life

I lurked here for a couple of years before I actually signed up. Finally my wife told me to quit reading over her shoulder and telling her what to post...
~”Is there a reason you are unmarried...?”~
Hey, now, it’s the new century; guys can compliment other guys’ looks without risking aspersions about their own proclivities.
Telegenics, like it or not, is an important factor in modern politics, particularly at the presidential level.
~”I find him to be fake.”~
I used to. Problem is, he’s got both style and substance. Well, we’re so used to Clinton, I think, that we’re wary of style.
But I started listening to what he was saying, and I gotta say, most of it’s right up my alley. He’s made a few missteps, and has pandered some. He’s been smacked in the face by it, though, and one thing Romney has going for him is that he’s a quick study.
Of course, you’ll never find a candidate that agrees with you in everything; but Romney comes close for me.
What I find hilarious is that many of the same people who criticize Romney for being “too slick” turn around and criticism him for his faux pas on, for example, being a lifelong varmint hunter, or other such missteps.
