Extra long Bad Ass Cut.
Go back to the poll. 22% WILL NOT VOTE for a Mormon. 22%.
But the brain dead people in Washington just keep ignoring this, and keep trying to shove Romney down our throats. And they'll be scratching their heads next year when Obama beats him easily.
Well name a few. Leading up to the 2008 election the same was said about Obama and the country not being ready for a black president. No third party came. The same was said in the election of 2000, no third party came. I even remember watching the third party debates on CSPAN, tell you what, it had ten times the depth of any political debate going on at the time. As for this Mormon thing, It means very little. 22% of any group means nothing to no one. A bigger number said they would not vote foe a black man or woman for president. Where you get that number any way ?
Not true.
In U.S., 22% Are Hesitant to Support a Mormon in 2012
The very same poll that said that 22% wouldn't vote for an LDS only recorded only about 5% of the population admitted they wouldn't vote for a black and 6% wouldn't vote for a woman. I personally think both numbers are probably a lot higher. But clearly, people feel comfortable enough with their disdain for Mormons they aren't afraid to tell pollsters.
Another point. I think a LOT of Americans are actually pretty unaware of how batshit crazy Mormon beliefs actually are. They've never heard of Blood Atonement, Being a god on your own world, Magic Underwear, etc.
The MSM won't tell us now, but watch. The minute Romney gets the nomination, they are going to do all sorts of exposes and documentaries on the Mormon faith.
On that I agree, if he gets the nomination all the stops will be pulled, But you left out some information that was presented in the poll there. If you are who I believe you are, then this is nothing new. Matter of fact, we should hear from AR or MarkL sometime soon. The thing is this, voters will not stick with Obama Just because Romney got the nomination (which he wont) and you left out the part in your poll where the 22% you are so fond of throwing around here (elsewhere if you are who I think you are) was about the same for Catholics at one time as well.
