22. I agree the Mormon cult prophecy is a scary avenue to go down, however

I don't believe that any president could wield the kind of power that would make this possible. Grover Norquist made it clear enough that Romney was a perfect rubber stamp. He would only sign legislation that was handed to him by Congress or the back room govt, he wouldn't be initiating any policy on his own.

I don't see a contingent of Mormon's in powerful positions within the govt that could pull off a coup d'etat unseating the existing RNC power structure (which in itself may be scarier than the Mormons).

I think a lot of anti-mormon sentiment will motivate dialog in this election just as anti-black sentiment will again inspire attacks against President Obama.
