“You get my drift?”
I think that is reasonable argument as well, as long as one qualifies it like you have. Most that I have see seem to say something like “I will never vote for a Mormon.” But I doubt pastor Jeffress was being so politically and electorally aware in his statements. No one was using that argument on those threads that I recall, least of all the pastor who was actually making the statements about voting or not voting based on being LDS, not being liberal or conservative.
So if one votes third party in a swing state in protest to Romney, that would be detrimental to the conservative cause? And to vote for Romney in a ‘pub shoo-in state is likewise detrimental?

So if one votes third party in a swing state in protest to MORMONISM, that would be detrimental to the cause of CHRIST?
What "conservative cause?"
Are you really claiming there's now one left to actually rescue? We're long past a u-turn...from pre-empting a "conservative cause" already bent on a ship-wreck upon the rocks.
The economy is in such shambles, I don't think Obama can do well. But who knows? Romney is such a weak candidate; and are there enough liberal voters in this country -- 95% or more -- who would vote for 1 of 2 liberals?
"Conservative cause-wise..."...
If Romney wins, the GoP can forget about ever having a conservative as POTUS again...the GoP-E will just say, "See we need a moderate (read liberal) to win the independent/moderate vote."
If Romney loses, it will so dismay all the conservatives who were either hoodwinked into voting for him...many searing their conscience for good as they voted for a pro-abort for the first time, a huge-govt POTUS candidate for the first time, a liberal for the first time -- or, like myself -- who were driven from the GoP for good due to his nomination; so the Q then would be: Can the GoP even survive as a serious contender to the Dems? Will it become extinct like the Whigs?
You see, right now, the GoP has only 29% of all registered voters...If they lose 1/5th of their voters, that's down then to about 23% of all registered voters. It'll be the incredibly-dwindling shrinking party.
