This person seems to be saying that anyone who is a mormon should not have the right to practice their religious beliefs and serve their country at the same time.

No, she's not. Did you hear her say, "People can't be Mormon & serve in the military?" (NO!)

Did you hear her say, "People can't be Mormon & serve Congress or state legislators?" (NO!)

She was very specific to a particular office: POTUS!

And even with that, you wound up reading into her comments...

How?

You say: ...as I said declaring that someone should not be allowed to run for president or serve as president because of their religious views is pretty messed up.

She never said Mormons could not "RUN for president" -- or shouldn't be allowed to. A very specific word was utilized there: "elected". "Elections" are the decisions of voters -- not governments!

Now, you're not trying to tell VOTERS that they HAVE to vote for cultists for POTUS, are you? Are you saying if we don't, we're "pretty messed up?"

No I’m saying that SHE is telling the voters they CANNOT be allowed to vote for whomever they choose and elect a mormon. I did NOT say anyone has to vote for anyone. I believe people should vote for the person whom they believe shares their political ideology. YOU, however, are misrepresenting what I said and trying to start an argument. Apparently your rabid hatred of all things mormon has caused you to deliberately misunderstand my point. We shall have to agree to disagree. Good day to you.
