put me down for #1, it’s just too weird. That said, I am not thinking of joining the LDS church, but choosing a candidate for President. Hillary purports to be a fellow Methodist, and I would not vote for her under ANY circumstances. Romney is far superior to all of the Democrat candidates, and most of the Republicans. I don’t know if he can beat Hillary in the general or not. The “Mormon issue” seems to be more important to the drive-by media than to the grass-roots Republican voters.

You are right about the drive-by media. They hate Mormons and are using animosity to Mormons exhibited by the so-called Christian right to thumb their noses at all of us. It’s a sick game and unfortunately, IMHO, the religious right has fallen into the trap.

I agree. The pattern I’ve been seeing in the last few weeks is that the genuine bigotry is really pretty isolated amongst the base.
I think the MSM is playing with fire if they harp on the religion issue. There’s a very strong possibility of backlash.
Agreed. This anti-Mormon/Romney issue is being fanned by the left, not the right, as a means to divide the GOP.
I am a member of a conservative protestant denomination. I have never heard any anti-Mormon stuff preached from the pulpit. That said, it’s obvious Mormon’s aren't a traditional Christian denomination, but so what? I don’t care. That is not the reason I won’t vote for Romney. He’s too liberal for me and is trying to hard to appear to be conservative.
This is much to do about nothing. Romney is not going to get the nomination because he is too liberal, not because he is Mormon.
