Re: The Mormon Issue No One Will Address
by Russ3705

Dennis: wow. for those of us who actually know something about Mormonism, your post displays remarkable ignorance and bigotry. Mitt Romney is part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, (the Mormons) headquartered in Salt Lake City with over 13 million adherents world wide. Yup, there are a bunch of break offs (Reorganized Church, Fundamentalist Church, Church of Christ, Pure Church of Christ, etc.) but like most break offs, they rejected the main church and went their own way. Do you know how many break offs of the Catholic Church there are? Thousands. Do you know how many varieties of Christian faiths there are? Thousands. Give me a break.

And why would Mitt Romney, born in 1947, former Governor of Massachussetts and former CEO of Bain & Company have to answer for those idiots at Mountain Meadows or for any other person . . . especially for events in the mid 1800s?

Thats like saying: "We know what Americans are all about. Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, and the list goes on."

Criticizing Mitt Romney for things that other Mormons have done is just as silly as giving him credit for the fact that the Mormon church is giving over 163 countries humanitarian aid, over $201 million dollars cash since 1985, over $705 million dollars worth of material assistance, with 3,552 welfare service missionaries serving world wide, speaking over 178 languages. Yup, he is responsible for this too. Give me a break.

Mitt Romney is an individual and should be judged on his own merits not on the nonsense in your bigotted post.
