I voted FOR President Obama, though, were I not happy with the Democratic nominiee, I'd have likely voted AGAINST Romney. Not because of his faith--I'm an atheist, so it's all the same to me. Heck, had Huntsman been in the running, I wouldn't have voted for him against Obama, but I would never have voted against him. Does that make sense? I like Huntsman. I think he's got a sensibility, an intelligence, and a moral compass that Mr. Romney lacks. I felt terror at the idea of Romney in the White House. I wouldn't have felt that with Huntsman. I'd have been sad that "my guy" didn't win, but I would have been okay with Mr. Huntsman and optimistic about his presidency, even though we do differ on a few things. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm rambling. I am really enjoying your blog--well-written, thoughtful, considered, and fair. <br /><br />KrisMumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018218539392699050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230245579458786956.post-4516159428926811162012-11-06T06:52:03.099-09:002012-11-06T06:52:03.099-09:00I think that if you are a Mormon voting for Romney...I think that if you are a Mormon voting for Romney in large part simply because he's a Mormon, then you are an idiot. Would those same people also vote for Harry Reid simply because he's a Mormon? If so, then they are seriously confused politically.<br /><br />To me, voting for someone (or not voting for someone) based on religion ranks right up there with voting (or not) based on race or gender. I have a lot of respect for the folks out there who listen to sermons at church each Sunday preaching the evils of the LDS faith (I lived in the Bible belt - I've personally witnessed it), and have managed to put that aside in their decision-making of whom to vote for. That's way more admirable than Mormons voting for Mormons.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13574266465859691077noreply@blogger.com
