"But what really irritates most Mormons is the total ignorance and intellectual dishonesty of the majority of those who make the criticisms."

Really?

Do tell about the dishonesty!

Joseph Smith found tablets, reburied them had witnesses who later recanted about the veracity of what they attested to ....blah bah blah

It has been a long time since I did any reading on the 'doctrines and covenants" aspect of mormonism, and other stuff. Still, it is in my view, nothing less than a cult that has somehow among its members the most loyal, trustworthy, honest, hardworking, patriotic, and intelligent Americans of any group that I can think of.

I simply do not get the Mormonism thing, but I for one will never hold it against any one of them.

Mormons are generally among the most decent of people in this country.

It is a conundrum for me, but I am long past dwelling on it.

I've seen Romney up close, and he has been I am certain the very best Governor of my state (Massachusetts) in my lifetime. He dealt with incredible opposition, and I wish him well now and in the future.

I'd vote for him before I'd vote for any of the other current leading candidates even though I disagree with him on a lot. Not the least matter is the health care thingy that he signed into Law here.

What? Try being a Rebublican Governor is such a liberal state and tell me one doesn't have to throw a bone or two to the wolves. He is much more conservative than McCain or the other competition, and he is electable my the moderates... IF he can get past the LDS issue.

Its the bones that he threw that will kill him.

Not the Mormon thing.
