Romney's abortion flip-flop will provide cover for those who are uneasy voting for a Mormon.

"The Mormon issue is a real problem in the South, it's a real problem in other parts of the country," {Dan} Bartlett said in a speech that was reported by the Washington Post. "But people are not going to say it. People are not going to step out and say, 'I have a problem with Romney because he's Mormon.' What they're going to say is he's a flip-flopper."

1. I'll say it. No Mormon should ever be president.

They follow a *prophet* who they believe speaks directly with jesus. Not in his heart, mind you, but physically in the same room---talking to him. They follow the prophet first and foremost, and only recognize national laws because the prophet told them that mormons are to follow the laws of the land. If the prophet came out tomorrow and told the followers that they are to take up arms against anyone, they would.

Mormons are fundamentalists and a cult.

3. no more crazy than any other religion

if Romney's actions are in conflict with the Constitution then a coalition of Democrats and non-Mormon Republicans would have no problem impeaching him and removing him from office.

4. They are much more crazy.

Having a Mormon at the top Senate job is bad enough.

5. Is it really any worse than worshipping a dead guy nailed to a tree? n/t

6. He's not dead anymore.

7. No Catholic should ever be President.

They follow a Pope who gets infallible instructions from God. If the Pope tells them to do something, they must do it or face going to Hell. And that's regardless of whether it's in America's interest or not.

No Baptist should ever be President. They believe in the literal truth of a book of ancient myths that directs them to stone adulterers, burn witches, reject science, and accept impossible theories about reality.

8. Agreed.

Mormons combine the infallicy of the pope and the ancient myths, with fundamental end-times belief. They are looking for a warrior jesus to come back and wipe out America, soon.

2. I don't care what politically correct excuse they come up with

as long as they follow through.
