I grew up non-Mormon in Utah and had every opportunity to become a resentful minority, but I didn't. They might be dorks, but they're not half as vicious and insane as what I've read about Pentecostals (and seen in the Borat movie. Do you remember how disturbing and barbaric that was?!)
Learn something about Mormons people (besides the long-since-abandoned polygamy idea) before giving them a hard time. At least they don't view God as a monster.

I agree with you. I grew up Mormon, and even though I no longer believe, I find them to be kind, honorable people. We could use more of that in politics.

Last time I checked , we were at war with the Taliban. Why should we let one of their cousins inti the White House?
This one happened 150 years ago but I think its still relevant because Mitt Romneys church pardoned a terrorist mass murderer of Americans.
It was September 11, 1857. A wagon train of 160 settlers on their way to California was massacred by a bunch of Mormons dressed in Indian clothes. 17 children under the age of 8 were spared and lived to tell their story.
1st. They dressed as Indians but after five days they changed tactics.
2nd. Then they went a bit away ,dressed back into normal clothes and acted like the Rescue Party who had negotiated a deal with the"Indians".
3rd, Then confiscated all the guns as part of the deal for "saving" the travellers and Mormon dissidents( who were the reason for the attack in the first place).
4th. Took everybody off a mile or so and shot them all. 2 men got away but were eventually tracked down and killed a day or so later.
5th. Took the 17 children they had not killed back with them to Salt Lake City.
6th. Got away with it. After a publicized trial, with the childrens own testimony admitted into the court, only 1 man was convicted and shot, John D. Lee. ( pardoned by Church 1960)
It ended up being called the Mountain Meadows Massacre. The first time in U.S. history that U.S. citizens were massacred on U.S. soil by religious wackos. This event is even more significant because the total U.S. population at the time was much smaller.(I dont know the exact numbers, maybe only 30 million or so) In todays numbers it would be around 1400 dead

What is your basis for claiming Sharpton is pentecostal? I hadn't heard that. Not that he's a viable candidate anyway.
