I was so excited when I found out. I just turned 18 so if Mitt Romney is on the ticket you know I'll vote for him. Is that how you feel?

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 and protected the 100 or so other Mormons involved from federal prosecution!
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 May, 1961)
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

Mitt Romney is indeed a Mormon. But why would you vote for someone simply because he's a Mormon? Shouldn't you know his theories on economics? diplomacy? Just sayin'.

No. Not really. The Mormons are, after all, just a cult. Have you heard of the Mountain Meadows Massacre? That was a crime committed against my ancestors by the Mormon's, and I capitalize that only out of respect for the language. I cannot state strongly enough that any Mormon who runs for office in this country should be defeated.

Yes he is, but that's not how I feel. I would never base my vote on a persons religion, race or gender. I will base mine on who I believe is best qualified to be President.

He is and so what, his platform should out way religious preference when choosing a candidate.
I also think he'd do a good job but I'm still hopeing for Duncan Hunter.

Yes, he is, as I am, but I'll be voting for the best candidate, not because he has the same religion.

He is, but I don't think you should vote for someone just based on their religion....

Yes, he is... A really decent guy and the only republican Doonesbury has felt the need to attack preemptively, that sells him to me right there.
