No wonder people are so confused. Some people don't want a Muslim, a Morman, a Black, a Woman, a Catholic, a Jew, or God forbid a GLBT to run for President. Don't they have a group or something? Remind me again which party the KKK belonged to?

That's you're right and I respect that. I only wonder: doesn't that put you in the same boat as those who wouldn't vote for a Mormon?
The quote from the website was careful to distinguish between Mormons and Mormonism. I tend to judge people by how they behave, not by what they believe. Remember who in politics said, "I was brainwashed"?Easily distinguishable.
Group X is attacking Y and Y isn't voting for Group X.
The reason Y isn't voting for Group X is NOT because Group X is X, but because Group X is attacking Y.
S. Dems.No wonder people are so confused. Some people don't want a Muslim, a Morman, a Black, a Woman, a Catholic, a Jew, or God forbid a GLBT to run for President. Don't they have a group or something? Remind me again which party the KKK belonged to?
That's part of the problem: to us there is no distinction between Mormons and Mormonism. A faith that is as encompassing as ours makes it so that a Mormon becomes a living embodiment of Mormonism.The quote from the website was careful to distinguish between Mormons and Mormonism.

Then what are you upset about? You just confirmed a lot of what the article said. (FYI: I was sealed in the L.A. Temple to my family)That's part of the problem: to us there is no distinction between Mormons and Mormonism.

Take me for an example. Sure, I base my decisions based on a lot of factors, but part of the core of who I am is because of the Church. People who try to attack the Church are attacking a part of the core of by entire being. I can't separate Mormonism from me, the Mormon.
That's why attacks are so personal to us.

good point!That's you're right and I respect that. I only wonder: doesn't that put you in the same boat as those who wouldn't vote for a Mormon?
there are many in the gop who dont like mormans......there are many in the democrat party who dont like those who seriously practice 'any'faith.If you are going to base your vote on which political party has a large number of members who love the lds church...i think you will be staying home in november.I'll vote for those i think will do the' least harm' to the country and my family.I'll respect your right to do the same even if the opinions do not mesh.Thanks, Jonny. You continue to do a good job of bringing the GOP's view of Mormonism into the light.
