there's other things about romney, that would keep me from ever voting for him. Actually, some of his beliefs about corporations and labor rights-some of those beliefs are influenced by being a mormon. having lived in utah and debating everything from helping the poor, labor rights and corporate power; most of my colleagues did have a "group think" mentality, especially when it came to how great corporations are. Of course the mormon church is like one huge corporation. And the church members are very much in each other's lives, and dictating how to live (the navajo called them the chatter people).

Remember when they made a big stink about kennedy being catholic?
