Hurrah for such a religious leadership.

If they did that, neither Orrin Snatch nor Mittens Romney would have ever got a single vote.

Seems like a clear anti trump message. Did they get this from the talking rocks that form most of their beliefs ?

Vote for candidates with integrity?

So elect people not running for office?

That's it! That is the answer! Elect people and then force them to serve.

Brilliant!

I have no idea. By 'talking rocks', I think you mean seer stones. I would doubt it. And most of their beliefs came from (supposedly) ancient records delivered by angelic beings or conveyed by divine translation.

I undersatnd that the talking rocks told the original guy what to write on the gold plates. Vital work.

LOL. Then who in the hell is there left to vote for?

 

[DudleySmith]

It is a good idea. So are literacy and civics tests. The rationale for stopping them ended by 1980. Voter ID is as well, except when Democrats get to handle the offices issuing them and count the ballots.

Ah, I get you now. The 'rock in a hat' is the story now; it was different thirty years ago, so who really knows.

Latter-day Saints in the Mormon Corridor from Southern Canada through Idaho and Montana through the Great Basin to Northen Mexico are an amazing and interesting people. I think they are as 'goofy' in their theology as much as evangelicals but much, much more fun.
