I knew some people would take your stance and I can understand why. I just know more about Mormonism than I care to and what Richard wrote rings true. That is why I posted it, if he is brave enough to publish it, I decided I am brave enough to post it. The Mormons I knew, told me they are like the mafia, they don't kill people anymore, they just ruin their lives if they get out of line.

If Mitt weren't Mormon, he still wouldn't be qualified to be POTUS, and being a faithful Mormon doesn't help.
