I know mormons who were weren’t going to vote for mitt and did because they decided they wouldn’t vote for a candidate who didn’t like them. They saw the mormon bashing and changed their minds and voted for mitt.

With some of the close elections, that 5% could throw it.

Every vote counts... even the mormons’. So mormon hate can work against candidates. You bash romney, you bash them. Can’t have it both ways.

So, we should just bury the truth to appease a few voters, then hope against hope that Obama doesn't come out with it?

First there is no mormon hate, it is loathing of mormonism.
Romney is who he is because of his mormonism not in spite of it.
Sorry, lds voted for Romney last election cycle at 94%, this election cycle 98%.
My lds family is supporting him because he is lds and they beleive he is going fulfill some prophecy.
Because someone might not like them is not entering their decision to support Romney fully.

But somehow, you miss applying this SAME LOGIC in reverse, eh?

What do I mean?

Well, imagine a local candidate is going door to door.

Not knowing anything about him, you invite him in, & you have a long discussion.

Somehow, you eventually get into religion & he says of your given faith:
(1) That 100% of your creeds are an "abomination"
(2) That ALL of your professing believers are "corrupt"
(3) That ALL of spiritual forefathers going back 1800 years or so were apostates
(4) He also implies that your church is a false & dead one
(5) He claims all churches not connected to His are part of "the second church." You ask him what that means...and he basically says, there's two churches...the church of the Lamb (his church) & the church of the devil (your church)

Tell us, Suz, is this going to inspire you to vote for this man?

Well, the 5 things above are ALL in Mormon "scripture" about ALL Christian sects...

Numbers 1 & 2 can be Googled under "Joseph Smith - History" "Pearl of Great Price" verses 18-19
Number 4 is Lds "Doctrine & Covenant" 1:30 -- Google that too
Number 5 is 1 Nephi 14:9-10 in the Book of Mormon (I have other references which show Mormon leaders applying this passage to the worldwide Christian church)
Number 3 has numerous references...Mormons believe in a "universal apostasy"

Seems to me, Suz, that if 75% of this country has a Christian affiliation...not sure why you're obsessing with the .08% of the population when what Romney believes is enough to chase away 75% of the population!!!

You bash romney, you bash them.

Oh well.

That's what being a member of a self-righteous cult will get a person from time to time.
