How come we haven’t heard about the faiths of the other candidates. I don’t even know or care where they go to church.
All of which raises the question: Are we religious bigots if we refuse to vote for a believing Mormon?For me this is the only relevant question, but the question needs to be corrected, because whether someone is a bigot or not really doesn't interest me. The question should read something like, all other things being equal, should we--conservatives--vote against the Mormon candidate solely on the grounds that he or she is a Mormon. To this question I am forced to answer: absolutely not. There are lots of Mormons in civic and public life; they conduct themselves civilly, they behave themselves responsibly, and they tend to pursue policies with which I tend to agree.
