We can't always sell our political soul for "a place at the table" -- like many pro-life groups & pro-family leaders...they ALWAYS think they need that place at the table of potential influence ... or, in their mind, they no longer exist.

Where would that mindset ever end, boundary-wise?

Would you vie for a place @ Hitler's table when he first came into power?

You know I agree with all your points on Mormonism, but to me, the Mormon thing in and of itself is a side note. Romney’s a socialist and he doesn’t represent any of my views politically given his history, and that’s eniugh for me. My best friend - until he died two days after Christmas in 05 - was a Mormon raised by a Mormon and a Ba’hai. The Mormon thing to me is second to his socialist objectives for this country, objectives he shares with Obama. I can’t believe this snake oil salesman has this many people duped into thinking that if they don’t vote for him, it’ll be THE END OF AMERICA. Our dear Ayn was an Atheist, and I’d openly campaign for her, since unlike Paul Ryan, I AM a Randian Objectivist instead of a social justice type.
