12. There are a million reasons to go after Romney but his religion is not one of them
I've lived in Utah all my life. I know Mormons and I'm no fan. But it is not more odd than transubstantiation, talking in tongues, virgin births, the supernatural. And don't even get me started on religious laws in Switzerland!

As in all religions, there are good Mormons and bad Mormons and the vast majority of them are that way because of the way they were raised. If I'd been born into a Mormon family the odds are I'd be Mormon.

While Mitt is the least scary of the contenders to me (Huntsman is not a contender) he still scares me because I think we will have to prove his conservative crazy while in office. His views didn't change, his party did (same with Huntsman). The GOP used to have a place for the Gov. Mitt. Not anymore. And if he wins, he'll want to be reelected and to be reelected he'll but crazies on the court and do other crazy shit to show he's a true conservative.

(There is this place in Burma where the King converted to Buddhism but "real" Buddhists did not think he was a true believer so he built 4,400 Buddhist temples in an area the size of Manhattan to prove them wrong. That will be Mitt's role if elected. No, he won't build temples, he'll torture, and try to outlaw gay marriage, and abortion and start a war with Iran.)
