Just curious, does your bigotry extend to all religions, or just to Mormonism? Would you ridicule Judaism, for instance, in the same way as you ridicule Mormonism? And if you did, do you think everybody'd laugh?
bogotry? really? what am I saying that's not true? seer stones in magic hats ... undergarments? fleeing to mexico because of polygymy ...
Don't get me wrong, I could care less about Romney being LDS ... I don't care! I think he's a bright man who is very capable of leading this country. My perceived bigotry ... which I'm still confused by that ... comes from inside the GOP. I think that Romney is a great candidate.

I dislike all mormons for their hypocritical evil hand in making Prop 8 a reality in California. I will never forgive them for that. Their tax free status needs to be revoked.
Mormons cannot be trusted with the highest office of the Land. They would integrate their hateful religion into every facet of government.

There was nothing "magical" about the hat. It was used to block out the light, that's all.
There is nothing "magical" about LDS undergarments, either. Their purpose is to serve as a constant reminder of the covenants we made in the temple. The temple garment for a Mormon is sacred, just like certain kinds of clothing are sacred to Muslims, Jews and American Indians.
Yes, Romney's great-grandparents fled to Mexico to avoid prosecution for their practice of polygamy, a tenet of the LDS faith which has not been practiced for well over one hundred years. Seriously, what's the point of even bringing it up?

You dislike "all Mormons" even though not "all Mormons" supported the Church's position? I know that I didn't, and I know a great many other Mormons who didn't. But I guess you somehow consider yourself to be an objective and non-prejudiced individual?

Could you explain how we would do that? I'd really like to know how you think that's even a possibility.

If that is so, then why weren't more of you speaking out against it? Millions of dollars from a tax-supported organization is not raised when a "great many others" don't participate. I must say however that I admire how Sen Harry Reid treats all citizens equally, does his job to his best abilities and is a mormon at the same time. I wouldn't think that there are too many like him. Romney is no Harry Reid.

You didn't answer my questions. If you want me to answers yours, you can answer mine first.
I think the "likable" refers to his personality, not his overall views. I have a hard time thinking anyone would not like his sense of humor, his smile and his down to earth attitude. This doesn't mean you approve of what he stands for. For those who are so narrow minded they have trouble separating nice personalities from overall views go ahead and say he isn't likeable.
To me, he isn't "likeable" because of how he handled himself when running against Romney last time around. He tried very hard to make Romney's religion a huge issue, instead of sticking to politics, and even then didn't bother to raise truly legitmate questions about Romney's beliefs, beliefs that could potentially be worthy of discussion. Instead, he made a parody of Romney's faith. It was decidedly "un-Christian" in my opinion, particularly for a former minister. As a Mormon, I actually like Romney's politics better than I like his personality.
