Or FOX News and the GOP culture of Fear (of gays, blacks, 'joos', 'lib-ruls', 'elites', 'illegals', atheists, 'feminazis', etc.), which is more less the same thing these days....

Hey, I haven't seen a conservative on this board be bigoted towards gays, Jews, or women -- I have seen liberals be bigoted towards those groups though.

From what I've observed, it's mostly Evangelical and Fundamentalist Protestants who have reservations about Mormons, and both populations are negligible in Pennsylvania.

That's how leftists work: if people reject their ideas, then it's because the people are stupid, not because their ideas are stupid.

likely voters vs registered voters

Obama loses not only PA, but OH, VA, NC, FL, IA, MO, CO, NV and potentially WI, MI, MA. It does not look good for Bo.

Don't make stuff up. You can hate Mormons if you want, but I am one and this is not what we believe.

When it comes to correcting inaccuracies of that magnitude, I certainly can. I've been a Mormon for 63 years and I know a hell of a lot more about what all Mormons teach and believe than you do.

But you acknowledge that the cons are bigoted toward blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, etc. Magnanimous of you.
