I was watching some PBS show - maybe The Newshour - where the reporter was on the campus of Brigham Young U. There were a very few people who voted for Obama in 2008 (that's what college can do to some in spite of everything) voting for Romney in 2012 because - well - because he was a Mormon, too - one of their own. So to find that W. had more support is most surprising. But it makes me wonder why.

Remember when everybody was pretending that Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry were for real? Snicker, snort.

I wonder what impact the remarkable success Mormonism has had in converting non-white people had on those vote tallies. Worldwide, LDS is or will soon be white-minority. They're still pretty white in the US, but getting less so every day. I'm thinking a fair number of black and Latino Mormons cast a pretty skeptical eye on the Mittman. Especially after the revelation that he rented their tax exemption for fifteen years.

you don't know because you are a narrow minded bigot who insists everyone must think just like you.

why didn't the ancient Greeks have gay "marriage"?

They were big fans of all things homo;
the ruling class totally accepting of the gay;
no xtianity or even monotheism to twist the people's minds...
why did the ancient Greek homosexuals disagree with you on gay "marriage"

what the fuck was their problem?.....

.

they probably knew that you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig.

I don't know what the fuck is wrong with the 23% of gay people who voted for Romney—I have theories—but I do know that GOProud and LCR's efforts to convince LGBT people to support Romney/Ryan failed pretty spectacularly.

And that's a good thing.

Ah well. Time for another cup of coffee.
Posted by Matt from Denver]]> Fri, 09 Nov 2012 08:26:17 -0800 The Stranger Pew Research finds that Mitt Romney won 78% of the Mormon vote in the 2102 [sic] presidential election.

Um, I really, really doubt that. Have you seen the Utah and Idaho results for Romney?
