Question?

c'est la vie said:
I've never met a Mormon who believes God actually lives on a planet called Kolob (which isn't even what their scripture says to begin with). Most believe it is symbolic. Either way, if Obama's religion isn't an issue, why should Romney's be one?

So Obama's religion has never been an issue? ROTFLMAO

It was for me during the 2008 election, but my views were rather different back then. I think all religions are equally delusional. So I don't think there's any fundamental difference between what Barack believes and what Mitt believes. At the end of the day, I don't really care. Whatever floats their boat.

Why did the Romneys live in Mexico?

Mitt's great grandparents moved to a Mormon colony in Mexico in order to practice polygamy. Neither Mitt's grandfather nor father were polygamous. Do you believe this information is relevant to the election, or reflective of Mitt's character in any way?

So.. You are now admitting that you cannot find any quote that shows Romney brought his "scary" religion anywhere near the election, you just decided that it was cool to feed religious bigots who decided to try to bring it bits of your "fear" to perpetuate it and to give ignorant bigotry your seal of approval?

Could you name an example of a scary belief that Romney has brought into the race?

I know sometimes posts can get lost in the muddle here...He's not brought up much since entering the race. Most likely because he doesn't want this to get out.

And it's not liberals Romney's afraid of. It's the Evangelicals.

Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith has hovered over his 20-year political career like a thick layer of incense at Easter Mass. Negative perceptions of the religion so worried his 2008 presidential team that the dilemma had its own acronym in campaign power point presentations: TMT (That Mormon Thing).

Worries persisted this year as skeptical evangelical Christians flocked to other candidates—any other candidate it seemed — causing Romney to avoid all things Mormon in public.

Looks like it's one of those "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations.

Regardless he should have kept his mouth shut years ago...

I think when it comes to the Mormon religion and the Muslim religion it's all about degree. If you want a few wives you move to Mexico. If you want 72 virgins you have to go to Heaven. :D
