Interesting observation.

If you’ve been brought up on a diet of the usual liberal media stereotype of America as a nation of woman and black-hating religious maniacs, you have a right to be puzzled when you hear that a devout God-fearing white man faces bigger hurdles than either a feminist or a liberal African-American

Privately, he has enjoyed pointing out that he, the supposed polygamy-loving Mormon, has been married to the same woman for 37 years, while his principal rivals for the Republican nomination have — so far — been married an average of 2.7 times each — the Catholic Mr Giuliani (three times), the Episcopalian Senator John McCain (twice) and the Baptist Newt Gingrich (three times).

Hehe!

Funny, eight wives for Gingrich-Rudy-McCain, and polygamy is an issue.

If every other branch of Christianity were to send all of their twenty-somethings out into the world for two years of missionary work, maybe they'd be growing as fast as the Mormons. As I understand it, the families of the missionaries pay their expenses, not the Church. We can all learn from such devotion and sacrifice. Heck, if conservatives would just work two or three nights a week for their favorite campaign or cause, we could take this country back!!

Serial polygamy is ok, even lauded.

It is the practice of parallel polygamy 150 year ago that is frowned upon.

Even new PC computers don't have parallel ports now. Everything is serial so that they conform to the PC crowd.

150 years? Try 3000 years. Don't forget Abraham, Issac, Jacob and all the rest. I guess it's a good thing they've been dead so long, it's easier for us to just pick on the more recent Mormons, as opposed to all those biblical figures that practiced polygamy.

I appreciate your service, however, I don't appreciate your view of Mormonism.

Problem is, America has become apostate, drifting from its Biblical moorings. 30-40 years ago it would have been different. Religious America was once aware of what Mormons believed, not now. Their beliefs are beyond wacky. 30-40 years ago, a Mormon for president would have been unthinkable.

"30-40 years ago, a Mormon for president would have been unthinkable."
Which is entirely contrary to what happened with Mitt's father. He was actually doing quite good in the way of public opinion until the "brainwashing" incident.

The Mormons are way out there. Pretty schizophrenic origins, completely non-Christian theology. But, lots of us would hold our noses and vote for ANYBODY but Hillary.

God forbid it comes to that. Romney hasn't gotten the nomination, you know. I am for Duncan Hunter, a true CONSISTENT conservative. Which can't be said for Romney.

Romney, a flip flopper like Cary, and from the same state as Cary. And a proponent of the false prophets Joseph Smith and Brigham Young to boot. Nein!

>>The Mormons are way out there. Pretty schizophrenic origins, completely non-Christian theology.

The full name of the church is “The church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints”.

>>But, lots of us would hold our noses and vote for ANYBODY but Hillary.

As would I, I kind of think a Giuliani – Gingrich ticket would do well. But I would love to have Zell Miller run for us.

I give you a scripture form the book you say I don’t read:
“Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?” (Job 38:2, http://scriptures.lds.org/en/job/38/2#2)

While your ignorance is breathtaking it is not attractive.

I am a Mormon, I am a Christian, and you really have no business questioning what is in my heart.

Have a nice day and try talking to a Mormon instead of just about one next time.

Interesting that you should chose a German phrase to go with your activities, you sound like a jack booted thug to me, with your knee jerk, anti Mormon rhetoric.

I hope Jesus softens your heart, or you may be in for a rude awakening.

It's not likely that I'll vote for Mr. Romney. I'm not persuaded that he's truly "converted" on social conservative issues.

However, I really couldn't care less that he's a member of the LDS.

If I genuinely believed that he was a conservative, I'd vote for him, at least in the general election.

In the end, I suspect the Mormon issue will not be the largest impediment to a Romney presidency. He has suspiciously changed his position on critical social issues, for example — when he was running for governor of heavily Democratic Massachusetts, he was pro-abortion; now he is running for the Republican presidential nomination, he says he is anti-abortion.

The author gets it. Romney's political problems are political, not religious.
