It does show that Mormons were just as good in the 1800’s as they are now. The horror stories of Mormons are mostly are result of this bigotry. I can share newspaper editorials which called for public executions of Mormons.
Nowadays, no one (almost) would ask for an execution, but they do call for daily the assination of their moral character and reasoning. Thankfully in a free country I can live with that hate, but it is disturbing nonetheless.
There was a large box truck behind me with huge Tom Tancredo banners. 2 guys were handing out Tom Tancredo literature. Nobody was handing out info for any other candidate.
There were people in cars with small signs on one car for Rudy, one float car with a McCain bumper sticker.
There were 2 each high school aged kids (looked like anyway) carrying a few dem signs for different candidates.
Tancredoby far had the largest showing.
Personally I couldn't care less if Romney was a Mormon, Catholic, Pagan, warlock or even Souther Baptist.
I look at how a candidate stands on the issues, not his religion.
That said, he's a Massachusettes liberal, so I'll be voting for Tancredo
