Because they have no where else to go, mormons have dealt with this animosity in the Republican party for years.
You don’t understand bigotry if you think that the LDS non-vote for Huckabee is the result of bigotry. There is a huge difference between voting for someone who you think better represents yourself and refusing to vote for someone because you think they belong to a cult, hate their religion, or are convinced that they are bad people because of their beliefs.
To conflate these differences is to lie.
Mike Huckabee made statements in his campaign reflecting animosity towards mormons. According to the WSJ, his campaign encouraged churches to preach sermons on the evils of mormonism. This actions indicate a hatred for mormon people, and someone who hates you cannot represent you.
Mormons have voted for the conservative candidate for years regardless of his religious association, and have often been treated like blacks in the democratic party - someone who has to stay on the plantation because they can’t go anywhere else. For example, local republican meetings in Colorado have been held in churches that have actively campaigned against mormons. Additionally, these churches have distributed anti-mormon materials during the republican meetings.
Because they have no where else to go, mormons have dealt with this animosity in the Republican party for years.
Once again, voting for someone who better represents you is not bigotry.

LOLOLOL If you think 90% of LDS in Utah voted for MR because he was the better candidate and not bigotry against MH - there is no point in responding to anything you said after that.
