To recap an already-familiar story, the "Mormon issue" jumped back into the news this past weekend when a pastor introducing Texas Governor Rick Perry before a major gathering of religious conservatives said the nomination should go to a "genuine follower of Jesus Christ." The pastor later told several reporters that Mormonism was a "cult."

Mitt Romney, the current frontrunner and Perry's main rival, is a devout Mormon and he and his allies wasted no time in denouncing the remark as bigotry. Perry awkwardly distanced himself from the comments.

This prompted much media clucking virtually all of it around whether the controversy was wounding Romney among the conservative voters he needs to get the nomination and win the White House. This topic is hardly new among opinion journalists writing about Romney either.

Many cited a recent Gallup poll that found that 22 percent said they would not vote for a Mormon for president. By comparison, only 9 percent said they would not vote for a Jew.

Parsing the poll though, a different picture emerges. The number of Republicans who said they would not vote for a Mormon was 18 percent, several points below the average. The number of independents who would not vote for a Mormon was 19 percent, also below the average.

So who was throwing the average off? Democrats. Gallup found that 27 percent, more than a quarter, definitely said they would not vote for a Mormon for president.

In other words, it is not Red State voters who fear Mormons the most, it is the secular, college-educated, liberal blue state voters that do.

Just consider the obvious fact that a Mormon is the current GOP frontrunner. Another Mormon, former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, is also in the race. The late liberal darling Mo Udall aside, when has a Mormon ever figured in a Democratic presidential race?

This shouldn't be too surprising. "Mormons are creepy and weird" has been a favorite theme of liberal opinion commentary ever since Romney emerged as a major political figure.

Take for example, Jacob Weisberg's 2006 Slate column in which he argued that Mormonism should be "an issue with moderate and secular voters":

I wouldn't vote for someone who truly believed in the founding whoppers of Mormonism. The LDS church holds that Joseph Smith, directed by the angel Moroni, unearthed a book of golden plates buried in a hillside in Western New York in 1827. The plates were inscribed in "reformed" Egyptian hieroglyphics -- a nonexistent version of the ancient language that had yet to be decoded. ... He was an obvious con man. Romney has every right to believe in con men, but I want to know if he does, and if so, I don't want him running the country.

In a widely noted 2007 essay for the New Republic, Damon Linker expressed his concern that a Mormon president might subordinate himself to LDS church elders.

Did you get that U_D.

Gallup says my contention was right about the Left's desire to nominate Romney so that they could dismiss him as an insane "cultist."

:) Shit Happens!
 
Then there's Harry Reid...

The only religion problem the GOP has is 0bama's Muslim faith. ;)

All the religion issues are things made up by the media to divide people. No one I know gives a damn if you're Mormon, Baptist, Catholic, Jewish, etc.
 
I think they're all fucking cultists especially that Atheist wacadoodle DCL...




:) Shit Happens!
 
Get back to me when Democrats refuse to vote for Romney in the Republican primaries.

You'll find, if you bother to look, that those Democrats likely wouldn't vote for a religious conservative of ANY stripe. Not just Mormons. So there goes your little theory.

As much as you want to blame Liberals for Romney's failure to perform it's Conservative Christians who refuse to vote for the man. Just ask Rev. Jeffress.

Tell it to Rev. Jefress and his 10,000 member congregation in Dallas.
 
You can't get much more "religiously conservative" than Islam...

*laugh*
Hardly Cap'n Redherring. Explanation.

The deflection here is you trying to blame Liberals, who typically don't vote in Republican primaries, for Romney not making the cut in the last election cycle. The same people who refused to vote for him in the 2008 cycle primaries will refuse to vote for him again, for the same reasons. Just ask Rev. Jeffress.

Try to blame the Left and the "liberal media" all you want, but it's conservatives who refuse to vote for the man.

One man, 10,000 followers. How many more Christian pastors do you think there are "advising" their congregations from the pulpit not to vote for Romney because he's "Not a Christian"?

100? 1000?

Romney should be afraid.. He's facing the same problem he faced in the last election cycle.
 
That's never what I said or posited now is it Cap'n Ascription...

:rolleyes:

I said, the same Left that is now blasting ONE PASTOR and ONE CANDIDATE in defense of Romney is going to so the same damned thing, in spades, just as soon as he is nominated because the Left hates Mormons more than the right, a contention that Gallup reenforces.

They want Obama to run against another McCain, and Romney is their McCain, and yes, they are going to play the "cult" card.

:) Shit Happens!

'Zactly.

They are terrified of non-lefty Christians and Jews, think it's cool to mock Scientology, but defend Islam to the death.

And we saw them on Mormonism during the California proposition debate...



Nothing but hate - zero tolerance. Like their school zones.

Wrong Out2lunch, I'm not afraid of either group. Why should I be? the majority of both are fine upstanding people. It's the radicals you should be concerned with, not entire groups of people.
 
Looks like UD brought a sling-shot to a gun fight................again.
