BBM. Aside from all other issues with his ever-shifting "positions", there is no doubt IMO that the MSM will ensure Willard's religion plays a major role (liability) in the election. You don't even have to read between the lines to see where this is heading.

Romney is a lying cheater.
His religion is irrelevant to his incompetence.
That said, Romney has no chance. Zero. Zed. Nada.

I disagree with LDS theology, I say without hestitation that it’s flat wrong.
Yet, the personal hands-on approach of counsel has commonalities both to cults AND to the orthodox/biblical Christian church. Read the biblical epistles and it’s inescapable that church fathers could get quite “nosey” into congregants’ affairs, if not a formal structure like this.

A lying, socialist Mormon in the White House.

mormonism will be laid bare, it will no longer be a secret operating corporation. Romney will lose first and foremost because he is a liberal, being a practicing member of mormonism will only cement in people's minds why he is a liberal.

Is this like an advance version of sour grapes?
It strikes me as intellectually dishonest. Romney will be seen as a maven on the prevailing concern and worry of most Americans — the economy and jobs. It’s impossible for him not to. He doesn’t have to brag it up for it to be obvious. Obama never was a businessman. In the meantime Obama keeps shooting himself in the foot with his political advertising.

I disagree with it as well.
But those goofy kids with the ties and short sleeve shorts are not saying “Convert or die, infidel.”
Obama is WAY too cozy with the mooselimbs...and when they achieve significant numbers in the US, look out...

There’s “official” Mormonism with its clean if severe living ideals, then there is nod-and-wink Mormonism. Mitt is more characterized by the second.

To me a cult differentiates itself from other religions not through theological beliefs - but via the adherence they insist upon from their members.
A cult wants 100% commitment of resources. If you own a van - the cult owns a van. If you own a 50 cal machine gun - the cult owns a 50 cal machine gun.
A religion usually only wants 10%.

This 'watcher on watcher' method is pretty typical of the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church ~ in Scandinavia. It also shows up in Swedenborg's "revelation" ~ Smith is often accused of using Swedenborg's work to design his own church organization.
As I've pointed out earlier, that same COTFB church, at an earlier stage than most sources will give you, was around in upstate New York and Rhode Island in the early 1700s ~ and was known then, and now, as The Church of the First Born.
Joseph Smith (just coincidentally I am sure) provides a great deal of information concerning that body in the Doctrines & Covenants.
I've had any number of Mormons advise me that the Mormon use of the term, and these customs, has nothing to do with the older church, or with Swedenborg, but here's another one ~ they are documented as participating in what is known as serial polygamy. It has been typical for centuries for men and women to marry and divorce 4 or 5 others over their lifetimes, just like Bill Clinton's mom and dad, and they were both Church of the First Born members.
It would probably be good for the Mormons to start telling folks what all of these secret things mean ~ just for old times sake you know ~ save me an enormous amount of time digging more stuff up about the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church.

A lying, socialist Mormon vs. a lying, Marxist Muslim gay illegal alien. Take your pick.Amen. This choice this November is clear. I'll be voting "ABO", and if I have to, I'll crawl over glass to do it.

Oh, so wish, that when this Media gets on the 'Mormon' case; these same would be challenged by asking just how they feel about that Demrat Senate Leader.
Of course; we know how 'we' feel about him; and so can guarantee; that 'ours' is not prejudice. . .save of ideology; and corrupt politicians.

In simple terms the PR SLC lds projection of mormonism VS the reality of mormonism, which is what that liberal called Romney is.

Perhaps orthodox/biblical Christianity puts more stress on the voluntary than Mormons do. However the former is no stranger to calls for “total commitment.”
