I think that you may be missing the larger point that the more exposure this debate gives to people about the LDS church, whether critical commentary or not, will inevitably lead to more LDS church investigators and an accelerated growth rate for the church. Increased opposition leads to faster growth. Go figure.
So, a special thanks to you and your ping list for doing your part.
At the same time, I must agree with you, however, that Romney is a RINO unworthy of nomination.
I guess the WISE thing to do would be to IGNORE all of MORMONism's false claims and it will wither away.
