Sad we haven't come any farther since the last election cycle in this regard. You would have thought after electing an African-American we'd be past all this...then again, there are those still insisting he's not American. If he fails in his attempt again this year, I hope it is because of his stances on the issues...and not because of where his faith stands.sportsattitudeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15134998940916314959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18846002.post-91776772667141419502011-10-19T23:49:49.541-04:002011-10-19T23:49:49.541-04:00Thanks for your kind words A.J., and for pointing out that segment. It was funny. Incidentally, one of the writers on the Daily Show is Mormon.Lowdogghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329237040499662141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18846002.post-46145948365222670912011-10-19T10:43:43.635-04:002011-10-19T10:43:43.635-04:00To follow-up, there is a funny skit in the Monday (10/17) Daily Show in the middle about Christianity and Mormonism. Just watched it last night.A.J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04818947638854293035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18846002.post-13119365302090038752011-10-17T17:13:37.022-04:002011-10-17T17:13:37.022-04:00I do not understand why it has been a big deal for Mitt Romney. I am not a member of the LDS church (as you know), but have spent some time around the LDS church (as you are also well aware of). Though I would likely never join the the church (due to my upbringing and heritage), I have always found members of the church to be very welcoming, helpful, and well organized as a unit. I was always impressed with their support (financial and otherwise) for their members and non-members (e.g., my Eagle Scout project). I also enjoyed spending time with your family, which is probably why I have a high opinion of the church. So, again, not sure why Mitt Romney's faith is an issue. I am not likely to vote for him, but that is definitely not because he is Mormon. In fact, it probably helps his case for me if I have a change of political opinion over the next year.A.J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04818947638854293035noreply@blogger.com
