He has that wonderful background story about how he met his wife when he was 18 and she like 15. Hummm 18 and 15? I guess he must be a conservative, he’s a pedophile. (I am kidding, and Mark Foley did not break law by sending text messages soliciting sex from young male pages. What hole did he crawl in?

I hope you’re right because the guy deserves to be judged on his positions and not his religion. It isn’t like Mormons are jihadists.

The movie “September Dawn” is coming out just in the nick of time to screw Mitt! to the wall.

Does anyone else notice how much coverage the cancer of Edwards wife got, but his wife has MS and nobody cares.

You are totally correct. The LDS have a real committment to the prophet of the church. I can hear the complaints now that Mitt! will defer to the prophet every chance he gets.

And that’s the EASY stuff because the Dems Senate majority leader is LDS and no one accuses him of deferring to the prophet.

Nope, the stupid “christians” (I call them that because they are not true Christians) will lead the charge to defeat Mitt! in the primary. It wont matter to them how he polls against the dems potential candidate because they are bigoted fools. The rest of us will vote for which ever rep has the best chance of winning the general.

The sad part is, regardless of his contributions to society, he’s going to be crucified for his religious beliefs and he wont deserve it.

The MSM wont have to start the attacks on Mitt! because the a$$hole “christians”, jealous with rage, will be more than happy to oblige.

If you doubt me, just vist your local evangelical fundemantalist church’s website and chances are good that you’ll see entire websites devoted to trashing decent people of the LDS faith who believe in Jesus Christ.

Seejanemom, the substance is there. Smart, articulate, good morals, strongly anti illegal immigration, pro second amendment, deep and full understanding about Constitutional law both in letter and spirit, against cutting and running from WOT, in favor of strict constructionist judges who won’t legislate from the bench… What exactly is the substance you are looking for?

And for those worried about the MSM pushing the crazy mormon angle. Yes they will try but it won’t matter. As long as Mitt has a chance to introduce himself and talk to the American people the only result will be the American people will no longer fear mormonism. If the MSM tries to stick Mitt with the “crazy” lable it just won’t stick. Just as Reagan was known to be the “tethlon President” Mitt will have the same ability to make unjust labels and critisisms slide off. If Rudy was a mormon he’d be in trouble. Mitt will be fine. Its kind of funny how the MSM never mentions the fact that Harry Reid is a mormon too.

Perhaps it is BECAUSE he’s Mormon that he’s doing so well? Yes, the media will try to make hay, but that will happen regardless of which candidate comes out.

And besides–there’s more Mormons than Jews in the world now, I believe. Most people likely have met a few. And you know what? We are normal people. We don’t sacrifice goats in the backyard. We don’t worship space ships.

And we are Christian. The name of the church is “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” So please, please, PLEASE give it a rest with the “Mormons aren’t Christian” bit. Simply because we don’t do the whole Nicene creed doesn’t mean we aren’t Christian. Sheesh.

If Mitt is our nominee, I agree with Halley:

Expect a sh*tload of news “investigations” about polygomy cults in Utah

It’s something to consider.

I believe he will hold to Bush’s objectives in the Middle East and do a far better job of rallting Americans around the cause because he will better articulate the reasons for being there and he will be the leader we need.

The ONLY thing that W is, that I wish Mitt would become, is a Christian! To me, it is a character flaw to be involved in a cult religion. It demonstrates a weakness: the need to belong to some group, a need so great that even a cult will do.

However, to me this in no worse than having someone claim to be Christian and then support all things that go against Christian doctrine. How many so-called Christians also call themselves liberal democrats? It just doesn’t jive!

Give us pretty. Screw substance.

PPffttt……..

I think we have a fabulous bunch of candidates, with the exception of McCain who has the right position on Iraq but is wrong on just about everything else.

And there was just too much talk about Mitt’s hair. I don’t hear anyone ask Barry about his nap or Hill about her highlights. But hey, they joked about Reagan’s hair, too. Mitt seems to take it all in good-humored stride.

In related news, I’ll be heading to Massachusetts in June. Kennedy country, I believe.

Could be interesting.

The name of the group?

The moron tab and apple choir.

Anyone spot Leno’s Mormon joke/jab?

Yeah, I don’t think it was a jab, either. When you look at Romney, most people don’t think “He’s a Mormon”. Jay just picked something that had a lot of members standing up on a stage.

Anyone spot Leno’s Mormon joke/jab?

Yes, but I don’t think it was a jab. The point of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir reference is not that they’re Mormons, but that there are 360 members. They’re the reference standard for ‘lots of people on the same stage’.
