You are assuming that LDS people whole-heartedly are going for Romney - because he is LDS. This is a false assumption, like saying that Baptists, or Catholics are sheep, blindly following a candidate simply because he goes to the same church they go to.

I don’t like Romney, and I’m LDS. Why? Because I have no idea what Romney actually believes. Gun, Abortion, Gov’t mandated insurance, Illegal Immigration; he’s been on both sides of the fence.

I want to learn more about Santorum, but as this is areana of ideas; alienating any particular group is ‘stupid’. If a candidate were to attack your religion, would you vote for him? Or, would you simply withhold your vote because of that insult? Some will vote, others will withhold - so, the question is simple “What is gained by alienating millions of voters?”

Did we read the same article? No candidate attacked Bishop Romney's religion. Pull the "victim card" much?

Ok, I understand you are trying to spin this but I can tell you my lds family is voting for Romney BECAUSE he is lds, they know about his liberal record and do not care.
In their minds he is the fulfillment of a prophesy.
Romney has been groomed for this moment since he was born, by his dad and SLC lds corporation.
Romney is mormonism.
If you are not voting for him then you are part of a very small group of lds adults.
Santorum did not attack mormonism some guy who happens to like Santorum did.

Read KSL.com and the Deseret News pages. Most LDS ARE supporting Romney and many agree it is because of his being LDS. This is also shown in exit polls.

You appear to be an anomaly.

Santorum himself (not a supporter or worker) made a negative comment about ‘mainline protestants’ the other day, I’ll still vote for him. In short, he didn’t alienate me.

If Mormons can’t see beyond this then they are stupid.

Do you know what MORMONism really believes?
