http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2012/10/missouri_politics_why_the_swing_state_is_now_a_red_state_.html"Mitt Romney isnt somebody who hypes up conservative Missouri. Hes somebody it can tolerate. The most common phrase I heard when asking Republicans about Romney here was he wasnt my first choice, but ... George W. Bush and John McCain fit the Republican profile. Romney never will. Democrats, Owen and others, hear it all the time: There are conservatives who go to church, hear that Mormonism is a cult, and struggle to square that with the name on their ballot. It hurts them quietly, says Temple.
It comes up in coffee shops, says Justus. I heard two people talking about it just the other day. What are you gonna do? You gonna vote for the Muslim, or you gonna vote for the Mormon? And this guy, who belonged to one of these megachurches, said that the issue had come up in his prayer meeting, and theyd decided not to vote.
This may be one of the states where that attitude costs Mitt Romney some votes. But it wont be enough to let the Democrats win Missouri."

To scare the shit out of these evolution deniers about Mormons. Rmoney is going to baptize everyone to be Mormons by using his executive powers to make it legal. If these clowns think Sharia Law can come here, why not Mormon Law. Rmoney will take away your beer and hard liquor, candy, soda, and you better not curse, you'll get a fine for doing so. And it will be The Osmonds on ALL radio station across the country. With Donnie and Marie re-runs on ALL TV channels.
Mitt's a little bit country, and Mitt's a little bit rock and roll.
yesss
thanks for the laugh.
