Try, try again.
Then quit.
No sense being a total fool about it.

I think a look back at LDS history would show that more LDS missionaries have been attacked and killed in the American south, the so-called Bible belt. THEY practice a very strange form of Christianity. The Baptists are concerned about losing their place, a little research shows they have many splinter groups.

Why do some people assume that a vote aginst Mitt for his religion was because of hatred? I would not consider Mitt because of his Mormonism but I don't hate him. I just don't think he is appropriately prepared for the position because of his religion. Sort of like how Mormons feel about all those people that need by proxy-post-death ordinances because as non-Mormons they are not prepared for that other glory either?

I'd have to say get over it, do you baptize like that out of hate? My guess is no. You simply think we are unprepared because of our mistaken beliefs. Well, that's how it is with a Mormon for some of us. We don't hate. We just think you need some rituals also. And until they are done, the burning in our bosoms says The Oval Office is not a Mormon's to be had.

The reason Mormons are sensitive about being called a cult is that active Mormons are very devout and committed Christians. We are taught to love and serve others, and the others appear to want to burn us at the stake.

A lot of the blogs were UNBELIEVABLY VILE towards us. They dug up the most oblique and esoteric trivia from 150 years ago and demanded we answer for it. Even wonderful and spiritual people can be wrong, can write goofy things. Would anyone consider razzing Catholics about the Inquisition, the sale of indulgences, pedophile priests, demand that they defend such things? Not likely, nor should they. We were practically called cannibals! It was very disturbing. That's why we are uncomfortable with the religious bigotry that has been swirling in the air.

Especially seeing it aimed at Romney! How straight, upstanding, patriotic can a guy be? Faithful to his wife even through a major disorder like MS, a great father, incredibly successful and honorable businessman, fantastic service (declined his salaries) in rescuing both the Olympics and Massachusetts.

How do evangelical Christians respond? Do they laud this good man? Respect him? No, they spit on him because he is Mormon. Very disheartening.

The vast majority of Mormons didn't vote for Romney because he was Mormon. They voted for him because he's so smart, capable, and conservative. Also, they saw what he accomplished in Utah with the Olympics, and because they trusted his character due to the fact that he was devout and righteous enough to serve as bishop and stake president.

Those positions are incredibly demanding, and there is no financial compensation. The man was a millionaire and instead of working for more money or lounging by the pool, he was willing to serve in his ward and stake for 14 years for NOTHING because the Lord and the ward/stake asked it of him. That is impressive to those in the know.

Being Mormon does not guarentee a Mormon a vote. Harry Reid would NEVER be elected to office in Utah. He may be LDS, but he's WRONG on the issues important to most Mormons.

He's a Democrat. Mormons are mainly Republican because the party is closest to their values--pro-life, pro-family, freedom, individual responsibility, pro-Capitalism, small government.

This experience with the religious bigotry and disdain extended our way, though, is making some people reconsider their support. Romney's mistreatment was inexcusable.

Fineman and Wallis are envious of the more handsome Gov. Romney. I am happy for his wife, she looks great too and totally supportive of him. Their children are all wonderful. What a great picture of real Fairy Tale for the liberal people that haven't seen a successful family like that. Gov. Romney should be the next President in 2012. Now get ready for those Anti Mormons again. Here they come. Truly, I am so sad that Gov. Romney suspended his campaign. I cried and prayed for him and his family. May God Bless them for all their sacrifices for this country.
