What do all these politicians have in common?

I'm hoping this was just a way to start a fight between you and Andy, and was not based on something someone in the media said regarding The Church of Latter-Day Saints. I'm guessing someone mentioned Romney's religion as a negative, trying to imply he would be a puppet for his Church or something? I must remind everyone that the same thing was said of John F Kennedy's Catholicsm. As with all religions, I judge people not the group, but I can say the Mormons I have known are among the best sort of people. It is not surprising that you can come up with a strong list of Mormons who have served their country in diverse ways. The Mormons are not mindless drones showing up well-dressed on your doorstep trying to brainwash more converts, if that's what everybody thinks. Like all devote Church goers they participate in the work of the Church because they believe it is right. It would make sense that same sense of duty would propel some into politics but it does not mean the Church is telling them what to do when they get there. I'm going to stop now, I'm getting ticked off at human stupidity. All are welcome to join the Church Of The Holy Rat. We have short sermons, ample bathrooms and cake!

You must be wrong because people say that a Mormons can't be elected. The other thing is they are Americans not Mormon-Americans. We need to think of people in terms of Americans and forget all the labels. After all my fathers family was from Normandy(they did not think of them selves as Frenchmen), and Ireland. My mothers family came from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. My wife's family came from Norway, and Germany. So I guess that makes my children Irish-Norman-Scottish-Welsh-Norwegian-German-Americans. I like to think of my self as an American except on St Pats Day then I am Irish American.

My Dad liked HUtch and was always writting him things I am hoping that some of what my dad wrote help HUtch make good dissisions. and I didnt now we had so many MOrmans in off ice yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now a days if you belong to ANY church and stand up for the values taught by that church you are dubbed clueless and unable to think for yourself. Trouble is, anyone who thinks this way is 'following' an ideology too and NOT thinking for theirself.
