NON ISSUE.
This is from one of the biggest loudmouths on this forum for RICK SANTORUM.
This election today is not about Mormonism and shame on any people that try to take it off message.
It is about a) the economy b) no-win wars c) gas prices/energy d) cultural meltdown/culture of death. In a word, FREEDOM. (And I might add, within the GOP, about RINO power over the grassroots and whether it will prevail or not.)
I'll pass on this thread (further).

A big AMEN from another loudmouth for RICK SANTORUM!
But our people shouldn't be playing the same type of divide and conquer nasty politics which are the hallmark of ObaMao's plan to Balkanize America and set up his type of people as a royal class to decide how government favors are fairly distributed.
Not too many years ago, Roman Catholics were the main targets of the same type of over the top bigotry now directed at Mormons. Then sometime about the time of the Kennedy assassinations, this type of talk became very unchic and uncool, sort of like throwing around the n***** word.
Except that if you delve further into the same type of bigoted sources which hate Mormons, you'll still also find the same type of speech directed against Catholics. Only their versions of facts and criticisms will differ slightly.
It is just that it is no longer fashionable to shout anti-Catholic bigotry in the open. Mormons, of course, remain fair game and a highly fashionable target of these gutter sniping cowards because they are not potential swing voters for the left. They vote overwhelming GOP.
Candidates do need to reign in the fruit cakes in their own campaigns from time to time. This guy is no exception. Santorum's remarks need be nothing any more innocuous than:
"Pastor xxxx's remarks are entirely inappropriate and unhelpful to inject into a political campaign. My own religion has been a topic of bigotry in the past and I have no desire to engage in this sort of rhetoric against others which may not share my faith. Mormons are part of the great American fabric of freedom of religion and have contributed greatly to the conservative values which make our country great. I would welcome support from their community."
