The idiocy on this thread is breathtaking. This thread should be nothing but positive posts celebrating our near certain pickup of this House seat and the election of the first Black Republican woman to Congress, something that will really get the democrat’s goat. Instead it’s turned into “lets bash Mormons in the most idiotic way possible”.
You’d think that Mormons must be liberal scum instead of some of the most socially and politically conservative people in the country the way some people are going after them. Some rich and powerful Mormons are liberals you say? Guess what, some rich and powerful (insert EVERY religious group you can think of) are liberals. Utah is the most Republican state in the country and almost EVERY politician from BOTH parties in that state is a Mormon.
But Matheson won a few elections, usually narrowly and I think every single time against a Mormon Republican, and Harry Reid won a few elections, in a different state, therefore Mormons are pernicious? What?
And the posts saying Love, a Mormon, will lose to a guy with no money, when she almost beat an entrenched incumbent 2 years ago, because it’s a “Mormon district”. I can’t even respond to that insane non-logic other than to say 2 + 2 does not equal 5 and this is not Candyland.
I’m sure I’ll be flamed now by some fool who will tell me “You don’t understand Mormons” or make fun of me for implying that perhaps they are blinded by bigotry.
Perhaps I don’t understand the religious debate. I’m not trying to because it doesn’t interest me in the slightest. Do I find Mormon beliefs rather weird? Yes. But are Mormons crashing planes into buildings? No? Do I think they are a cult dedicated to electing Harry Reid and Jim Matheson? NO, I think that’s silly. So do I care that their beliefs are weird? No.
One thing I do understand fairly well is electoral politics, these people clearly don’t.
Yes; posting FACTS about Mormonism is IDIOTIC; but what should we do; LIE??
It’s the old...at least mormonS aren’t flying into buildings argument.
Love has a good chance of wining, however if her opposition is a white man mormon she will lose.
See post #170, it’s just the way it is.
