would religion be a part of the Presidential discussion if Obama was a Mormon?

[spanone]

and Romney was a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ?

1. Yes I think it would. There is enough people out there that just won't vote for a mormon, period.

[meanit]

2. Yes

Reverend Wright would now be a hero and Obama would be a notorious polygamist. The Right would also be screaming for the "real marriage license" to be produced .

3. Yes

Mormonism occupies a peculiar place in the history of religion in the US, and a controversial one at that.

4. Religion was already a part of the discussion when he WASN'T a Mormon.

Remember when he was a Christian indoctrinated by the evil Reverend Wright at the same time that he wasa Muslim?

5. If Obama were a Mormon...

We wouldn't be having this discussion. Black and of a less-than-mainstream faith AND a liberal? Good golly, dude wouldn't even make a city council, sad to say.

6. Obama wouldn't be president -- not even Mormons would vote for black Mormon

[Broken_Hero]

7. Yes, without a doubt nt

[LaydeeBug]

8. yup. nt

[renie408]

9. Are you kidding me?

LOL...they would be foaming at the mouth.

I used to try to think that half of the hate towards Obama wasn't racism, but I have given up. It just is.
