Nothing new under the sun.
The DEMOCRATIC party has captured the village, looted it and burned most of the Constitution, and the REPUBLICANs are getting the blame for it!
How could they have a 1st Lincoln Militia before we had Lincoln as president?
We live in a STRANGE world!
BM; I give you permission to call me a liar anytime you wish.
Just be sure you have the evidence to back it up.
I do NOT want to be spreading FALSE information!

While i’m not saying the show is realistic, I found it interesting how “Big Love” had a fight between the LDS church and the polygamist’s new church over the use of the term “mormon”.
I only fight with people who take positive action to provoke an argument. I don’t run around on Catholic threads picking fights with ever Catholic over church dotrine that claims my faith is less perfected, or that I am doing things wrong. I also don’t expect Lutherans to run around on the threads apologizing for everything Martin Luther said.
I also don’t apologize for what John Boehner says, or for what other leaders of groups I might happen to be a member of say, much less apologize or expect apologies for what long-dead leaders of organizations said that people are now members of.
I’m not a fan AT ALL of the guilt-by-association, victimhood “I need an apology” crap, whether it’s in the religion forum or political forums.
No, I don’t think I would bet on that. I certainly think that, all other things being equal, Mormons will vote for a Mormon over a non-Mormon. I would also believe that they would do so at a higher rate than mainstream religions, and would suggest that might be because they have a more cohesive bond within their faith, although that would be speculation. This effect would be much like the Catholic effect from the a few decades ago, where for example we hadn’t had a Catholic President, and a lot of Catholics who would otherwise vote republican ended up voting for Kennedy because they felt it was “time” for a Catholic.
Beyond that, I would want to see the actual data for specific elections, which would give me a sound basis for making predictions. I’d guess that mormons would vote for a less-conservative Mormon over a more-conservative non-Mormon. They might have a real problem with fundamentalist Christian politicians, especially if they are from denominations which more vocally denounce the Mormon faith.
My statement really was about a specific race — the evidence I’ve seen was counter to the claim, so I questioned the claim, and I’ve seen little to show that the claim was correct.
Here is my last speculation on that subject; I think in a national race, the propensity of Mormons to vote for a Mormon candidate I believe would be nullified by the propensity of evangelical and fundamentalist Christians to tend to NOT vote for a Mormon. So it might help a candidate in states with larger Mormon populations, but hurt them in states with strong Christian voting blocks. I think we saw that to some degree in the 2008 election, and Huckabee definitely tried to play on that possibility.
True; but I'll go further and state...
I certainly think that, even if other things are UN-equal, Mormons will vote for a Mormon over a non-Mormon.
Thank GOD for folks who actually will EXPOSE false teachings!
Read 'em and weep. The Battle of Stoney Creek was the beginning of the end. The Battle of Lundy's Lane was the end. The Americans bravely turned their tails and fled. You may apologize at your leisure. :)
Apology accepted!!!!
You may purchase unreasonably large quantities of good Canadian beer for me next time we meet.

Montana?
That’s for those who didn’t make it as Albertans!!!
