Well that settles it.

I try to overlook typos, but since two posters mentioned Mormon tenants, I think it may be worth pointing out that landlords have tenants and religions have tenets.

I dislike Obama and I think he has done a poor job; though I like Biden, which may be Obama's only saving grace. There are just so many things that make me inherently distrust Obama--he accepted a Nobel Peace Prize for what? Seriously, what did he actually do to deserve it? He is a politician from Illinois not Mother Teresa.

Now Romney/Ryan. Well, that's not happening either. I cannot vote for them. I barely trust Romney because he is a Mormon and must be slightly unhinged to believe those tenants, and now this:

Even Fox cannot swallow Ryan's BS.

That's really lazy. In what way has Obama done a poor job? Usually people who say that are the people who equally fault "both sides" when it's 98% the fault of the Republicans. Seriously - Obama's politics, as measured by the policies he's supported, are just slightly to the right of Nixon. That's how far right this poor country has been dragged. There's an assault on common sense, and if you vote for Romney or no one at all, you're a part of that mess.

I'm sure many people feel that Catholicism (transubstantation?) seems crazy to them . All, or at least most, religions have aspects that are unbelievable or odd. If you would only vote for someone who is a religion that does not

Transubstantiation has a long and rich history in the Catholic Church, and up until the Protestant Reformation it was the belief. Mormonism by comparison is a "young" religion, found by looking at some rocks in a bag. It is effing weird. It has just enough science fiction-y ridiculousness to be up there with Scientology in my book, because you know Missouri is the promised land, right?

Long and rich does not mean plausible. For 3000 years we thought he earth was flat and earth was the center of the universe.

For her own.

Wow, I'm a democrat and would not vote for Romney because I disagree with his politics, but your position on his religion seems really mean spirited.

agreed, but you're kidding yourself if you think there aren't literally millions of Americans who will allow his choice in faith to factor in their decision to vote. It will be the biggest, unspoken reason.

As opposed to Christianity/Judiasm, which have as one of their founding stories a guy who was given some rocks with writing on them by God.

And since transubstantiation has been around longer, it's well weird? That makes no sense at all.

Wait, WTF am I doing, trying to convince someone it's OK to vote for Romney? Yeah, PP, you're right, Mormonism is strange, that's the ticket . . .

Obama on the Nobel:
“I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures” who have won previously, Obama said in the White House Rose Garden today. “I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the common challenges of the 21st century.”

The mormon church is corrupt and is very very wealthy. Got listed one time in Fortune 500. I have had enough experiences with the 'intolerance of religion'

The whole thing seemed more like a worship service. The answers to all the specifics are still vague. The man is too high and mighty for my liking

Yes-people often criticize Obama for winning the Nobel when he apparently didn't do much of note to deserve it, but they fail to mention (or realize?) that a bunch of Norwegians picked him. While I agree he may not belong up there with the likes of Mandela, King, Mother Theresa and Lech Walesa, he didn't choose himself.

At the time when he got it, it was enough that he was not mr bush.
