Endorsing the Mormon makes a certain amount of sense, as the Christians know that Mittens will be for the state support of “faith-based” initiatives or programs, or whatever they call circumventing the separation of church and state. This is the one area where Romney has some sort of a track record in Massachusetts. What is good for one cult is good for the other.

AS FOR SOUTHERN CHRISTIANS — I go back to the “Campus Crusade for Christ” visiting the Berkeley campus, before the sexual revolution that came at the end of the 60s. I remember talking to sorority girls from Dallas who were all about how Christ could save you, while I just knew that they were putting out to their boyfriends.
IT’S ALL ABOUT WHAT THEY TELL THEMSELVES IS TRUE — for instance, they ignore that mormons feel and act superior to everyone, and they ignore that birther crap is racism

I’ve always thought that this is why Mittens panders so much to the far right. Because as soon as he stops, they’re going to remember that he’s not a christian and won’t vote for him.

After being raised in a ‘socially’ Christian home and then doing the usual young adult-neck deep in it period, I’ve eventually moved all the way across to atheism. And standing outside watching the various denominations, and cults (you have to call LDS & Scientology cults) bash each other for being wrong and loving the ‘wrong’ God.. I wonder how many more millennia it will take before we become emotionally mature. We seem to have moved on from sacrificing babies… but only just.

@brian . . . religious beliefs???? ….. the bigots are always going to find some excuse to choose the white guy over the black man . . . . we are dealing with a Republican party that has gone fucking completely off the rails . . . Superman would hang his head in shame . . . truth, justice, and the American way have no place with these talibangelicals.

@Scott . . . is your wayward father-in-law still planning not to vote for Romney, or has he succumbed, too?

Mormonism is the 19th century’s Scientology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_cosmology

With polygamy, kidnapping, massacre, armies, and a whole State.

Huckabee’s endorsement was one amazing piece of work. Almost as ironic as his penning a book, “Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork: A 12-Stop Program to End Bad Habits and Begin a Healthy Lifestyle,” http://www.amazon.com/Quit-Digging-Your-Grave-Knife/dp/0446578061 , earning millions (paying for the operation and expenses no doubt) after OBVIOUSLY having undergone baryatric surgery. http://plutarch01.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/new-121007-300pm/

These people are malignant grifters.

Its right that they don’t let their religious beliefs influence their vote though, isn’t it?!

What I think would make some people’s heads explode (read the American Taliban . . . otherwise known as fundie Christian zealots) is the fact that those wackadoodle Mormons actually believe Jesus and Satan are brothers!

That and the fact that the Mormon iconography depicting Jesus borders on being just shy of gay porn is another reason for Mike Huckabee and his ilk to get themselves in a snit.
