MSM fixated on Romney’s religion?
Should surprise no one. Mormon’s historically vote Republican...
Anything that divides Republicans will be nursed as a campaign issue.
I am not Mormon, have no Mormon family members, but lived among many of them in NM & AZ. I was Republican County Chairman in a NM county that had 5 Dems to 1 Pubbie. The three groups that you could always count on at the poles were the Rock Rib Republican Ranchers, the Mormons and the John Birchers. Like it or not, that was the situation. The Dems played the race card and the evil corporation card (it was a mine union town) even then. (early to mid 1980’s)
There are some things better left unsaid in public discourse. One of those is religion. It is also true here on FR. Caution should be in order when this approach is taken.
I know a great deal about Mormon history. (from written history and from discussion with X-Mormons)
The issue with NittWitt Mitt is not his religion. He simply does not represent what has been Historically Republican. He is pro abortion, a very strange position for a Mormon. He is a big gov. statist.
There is plenty to discuss about Romney. But it is fruitless to discuss his religion. Even though there are some real problems with that.
Maybe politically; but eternally it MUST be discussed because it will lead souls AWAY from the TRUE Christ of the bible.
