And as for being a lifelong Mormon and leader at that, it's still mind boggling to me how someone so committed to his "faith" ever had to go through a "flip flop" on such a crucial issue as abortion. And his devout Mormon wife donated money to Planned Parenthood, an organization with roots in racism and eugenicism. Shouldn't Mormons be pro-life by default? Have they flip-flopped on their Mormonism too?
It is right to bring up the significance of Mormonism, Mormon ties into this particular discussion. It's clear certain people wrap themselves up in pseudo-conservative clothing, but have more interest in validating their faith into the mainstream, and establishing their religion, more than in protecting the Constitution.
That's why I analyze Beck closely.
I'm not a huge Mitt fan either, but you don't have to carry the water for the talking point crowd.
