I don’t like the theory that Mitt was defeated because of his religion. Gee..we have an incompetent (thank God) muslim half-black, traitor communist POTUS. Isn’t it obvious that what we really want is someone who can shred zero, flush him down the garbage disposal and then get this country back to where it belongs?
To me Mitt’s religion has not one thing to do with it.
To you, but not to a lot of other people.
Worldview matters and frankly, having been Mormon myself, Mormonism matters to me.
That said, I have no problem voting for a Catholic or even a conservative Jew. At least we believe in the same God.
How to explain then the many voters - including some on this board - who say they would *never*vote for a mormon?
Lets give the voters in SC a little credit. Perhaps they see Milt’s religion as a major weakness if he were up against the media’s demigod barry, as in the media would expose everything the LDSinc machine tries to hide from those they seek to proselytize. The avergae voter in America haqs no idea the strange aspects of MormonISM, because the 52,000 ‘missionaries’ never expose any of the strangeness and perhaps most aren’t even aware of these themselves. Perhaps savvy SC voters see Milt’s religion as an issue in that way. Having conversed with a friend who lives down in Monk’s Corner, I heard that argument weeks ago out of SC.
