Turn-aways in a Santorum-friendly county in Washington?

[Windy City Conservative]

About 1,500 people were turned away from pooled Benton County caucuses in Kennewick by event organizers after rooms at the Three Rivers Convention Center reached capacity this morning.

Some potential caucus voters said they arrived at 9 a.m. to find the large hallways at the convention center packed to the rafters and were told no more people could enter the caucus rooms.

Ray Swenson, a Richland lawyer, criticized local GOP officials for poor organization and said the results today should be invalidated.

"I think it's illegal," Swenson shouted to a gathered crowd, many of whom were filming him with cell phone cameras. "The Republican party leadership is taking away our freedom."

Swenson told the Herald he may file a lawsuit seeking to invalidate the caucus results.

"I think it's unconstitutional," he said. "Our right to vote is the most fundamental right in the Constitution. ... This is exactly equal to walking into a polling place and being told, 'We've run out of ballots. We didn't expect this many people. Go home.'"

I have nothing against other religions...but I do have great sympathy for people who have been duped by a cult. Cults are insidious and rob innocent people of the truth.

LDS is a cult.

I pray that its victims find the truth!

If I am spewing hatred, why not report me to the mods. Or at least point out my hateful language so that I might stop using it.

If on the other hand, the truth sounds hateful because it hurts...well, I will never cease telling the truth.

I speak the same way in my personal life as do all people I respect.

Hey..where are you Mister Mormon defender.

Do you proselytize this Mormon crap from Joe Smith in a peep stone moment to real believers?

Is all belief sacred?

Or should humanity subject cultic belief to the same standard put on TRUE faith.

Are there witnesses...is it true and are its principles tested and proved true by experience.

Is there coercion in joining... and is there coercion in staying with the "flock"...

Mormonism exhibits all the symptoms of cultic behavior. It is just like Islam!

Convert or...die!
