As I stated earlier in the post, there is NOTHING wrong with NOT voting for someone because of their religion.

If a voter wants to lay the Crusades of the Middle ages at the feet of a Christian candidate and vote against them on THAT alone, that’s fine. It’s also PERFECTLY FINE for them to voice their opinion and attempt to sway others to vote the same way.

You have the right to be disgusted as well, but the fact remains that for MANY, MANY denominations Mormonism is a cult, the doctrinal differences are TOO wide for reconciliation with MOST churches. It’s a natural byproduct of religion.

Granted, Mormons often vote for candidates of other religions. But that’s mainly because, outside of Utah and a few pockets in the west, there are very few Mormons involved in politics. HOWEVER that river goes both ways, Non-Mormons of any stripe are at a disadvantage in a district heavily populated by Mormons when one is on the ticket.

IMO, the Mormon Freepers are doing themselves a great disservice by playing the anti-mormon bigot card. The simple fact is that NO ONE can run for office and have ANY expectation that every peccadillo, private matter, and personal oddity to not be towed into the open and flaunted for political gain of their opponent. No one likes it, but in reality, Dirty Politics, is the only part where real TRUTHS come to the surface. Left up to the individual candidate alone they would all be seen as the Second Coming of Christ Himself if that is what would get them elected.

In short, GET OVER IT and live your lives as you see fit. If you want to proselytize in public, which FR is, you have to expect disagreement of varying types. I for one, want every subject argued from every point of view so I can make a decision from ALL available data. To shut out and ban points of view because you disagree with them is the opposite of what a FORUM is. If you want sunshine piped up your butt 24/7 spend time somewhere else.
