Because christian bigots would rather keep a possible muslim in the oval office than a Mormon. My children's future depends on you voting for the republican instead of the democrat. It just amazes me how little christian republicans value their mormon allies?

Your children’s future depends on you pimping a religious cult to convince people to support your political decisions? Honesty is the best policy. You couldn’t care less what Mormonism actually is or teaches, and couldn’t care less with the inherent issues Christians have with that religious cult. All that matters to you is that we vote your way. And, frankly, there is no real evidence beyond “hope” and “change” that any of it will have any real meaning.
So, no thanks. I’m not going to lie or be silent about Mormonism to appease you.
Thank you very much maine-iac7
Not exactly, writeins are still legal.
-- John Quincy Adams "Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country." -- Samuel Adams “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”
Excellent article, Daryl!!
Thank you for such a well written and thought provoking piece.
Check out the Photographs on Daryl's Blog! Brilliant and mesmerising!
And you are the most reprehensible human being to crawl the planet.
Your hatred for Mormonism is sickening and your opinion, while you are entitled to it, is as vile as what once was your soul.
Your insanity will consume you.
“...when you compare him to what we have occupying the White House he’s the only choice. Anything else is sure suicide.”

A fantastical, surface level assumption based on no idea of what Mormonism actually is and teaches.
A point that could as easily be applied to your analysis, as that of 43north. Apologies to those for whom the word analysis has more meaning than the first four letters.
Always vote for principle

Terrific post. For many years I lived in the American West where Mormon populations were predominate. I am not Mormon but had many LDS friends and working associates. Best people I have ever known. Like any religious group, Mormons range from the devout to the “Jack Mormon” variety. But I have never understood the hate (for lack of a better word) directed towards them. I think part of it has to do with the reason we find ourselves as a country in the place that we are today. That is culturally, we have given ourselves the permission to walk a secular path of our own making. Mormons for the most part have not done so. The other part is theological and the fault American Christians find with the Book of Mormon and Mormon theology in general. But like the author of this piece, I have to ask does not Christian theology require a faith in the improbable on the part of its adherents as well?
When push comes to shove and times get tough you will discover that “family” for them INCLUDES mormons but not christians.
If I may be so bold, that is a very unenlightened comment from a member of the class of ‘98
In any major disaster world wide, Christian or otherwise, the LDS Church is going to be a very early organizer and provider of assistance.
“Ever hear of a place called “Mountain Meadows”? I thought not.”
That was 165 years ago when your Christain forefathers probably owned slaves. Get over it.
There is such a strong anti mormonism sentiment on FR that it has been rather confusing to me. I was raised with a lot of mormons. 2 of my best friends in high school were from devout mormon families and I rather invied their lives. These kids never had a chance to get into any trouble because there just wasn't any idle time left. Every weekend and many week nights were filled with soft ball games, volley ball, dances, dinners, plays, parties, choir practices and performances, study groups. They even had seminary classes at 6 am before school. All of their energy was channeled into something constructive and character building.
My grandmother was in nursing home near their church and the kids my age were routinely in the nursing home visiting the patients and bringing small handmade gifts. Real class acts.
While the religion is not for me the result of strong families is something I've always admired.
Mormons are not "always on" insofar is conversions. Witnesses are a lot more aggressive and Moslems are intolerant and intolerable. I tried to get to know the Moslem who had the shop next to mine in the nineties and after a couple of encounters of "good morning Ali, how you doin'?" the pressure to convert got heavy and nonstop and I resolved to avoid any contact with him and them.
When push comes to shove or the SHTF people will gather in like minded groups for security. That is no basis for condemnation. It is a universal trait and I daresay describes you and yours as well as Mormons.
Obama is not a Mormon. If you share the feelings of many not entirely rationalFreepers toward Mormonism then you cannot vote for Romney and should maybe vote for the nominal Christian.
You believe that Mormons will attempt to use a Mormon President to force LDS on the population? I rather doubt that. An atheist would likely force his atheism further on to the society and a Moslem surely would. A Mormon? no. The logical extension of that kind of outlook would require one to vote only for a member of one’s own Sect if one believes his sect has the Truth and all others are wrong because all others are necessarily pagans or heretics.
