Republicans In the District

[Anonymous]

I think there are about ten of us

Seriously, though, during the last election I saw only 3 McCain-Palin signs in yards (and ours was one of them--until someone tore it down).

In case it removes some of the sting, I had an Obama sign taken from my DC lawn.

Does anyone ever go to those Republican get-togethers? I get phone calls to my house sometimes--I think you get them as a registered voter...

Seriously? I cannot imagine you would be cut off or honked at less if you had no stickers on your car. I think you're seeing something that's just not there, at least as far as the politically-motivated aggressive driving goes. Everyone gets beeped at and cut off.

Disagree I have had some dirty looks at stoplights with my Palin sticker. Why would someone think a Mormon would push religion on them? These are usually very private people who do not draw attention to themselves. The fact that a poster would bring that up shows how far we need to go in regard to religious tolerance

You apparently have never been home on a Saturday afternoon or don't answer your door to nicely dressed white boys.

What? Have you never encountered those people all dressed up riding their bikes with Mormon bibles in their satchels, asking me if I've found Jesus, and following me to my car to tell me how their religion is so great? I've had quite a few Mormons and Jehovas Witnesses try to convert me. I have a friend who converted, and now she tries to convert me. Apparently I cannot drink wine, soda or coffee in her presence. Just because I notice the persistence of some Mormons doesn't make me intolerant. I don't push my religion on anyone.

I believe proselytizing is part of their faith, as it is in many others. That being said, I think the rather handsome men in black suits on bicycles are doing a year of service. Would be nice if more faiths incorporated that!

Would you say the same if it were handsome young Muslim men trying to convert you?

I think the muslim men are way hotter than the mormon men.

Yes, I've know a few like that but they weren't trying to convert me...to their religion anyway!

No I still consider converting--if persistent after a polite decline--a no. But it would be nice if more faiths incorporated so much service, handsome Muslim all the better.

I am not a mormon but I have known many through business and life and I can say that every mormon I have met is beyond nice and soooooooooooooooo honest. Gosh these are people who are so healthy they don't even have cafeine. All there kids also seem to be so nice and police. Anyway-I like honest for a change.

If he's so honest, why did he switch from being Mr. "pro-choice universal healthcare" governor of a liberal state into Mr. "I'm the true Conservative" presidential candidate?

Barney Frank once called Mitt Romney "the most intellectually dishonest human being in the history of politics". OK, yeah, it's Barney Frank, but hey, the guy's seen a lot of dishonest politicians

I have a hard time taking an assessment from Barney Frank seriously; Mitt Romney designed universal healthcare--it was by design totally funded privately which aligns with conservative values. This was changed when he left office, although he warned that it would bankrupt the system.

I know, I know. But that still leaves health care and abortion. And the health care plan is far, far from a true conservative plan. It forces you to buy something even if you don't want it.

I like Mitt and agree with him on most of the issues, and love his credentials, but I could never put a Mormon in the White House. It would legitimize what I consider to be a cult. Joe Smith was a convicted felon and both him and Young were pedophiles, routinely "marrying" women in their young-teens before they even hit puberty. Pretty disgusting people. And EVERYTHING in the book of Mormon has been proven wrong factually. I just couldn't take someone seriously if they really believed the angle moroni told SMith to translate the book while lying backwards wearing his magic glasses.

Now, of course ALL religions are based on faith, and the non-religious amongst us will think all religions are equivalent to believing in the tooth fairy, but in my opinion the LDS religion takes that to a whole higher level and just is beyond a farce.

Would you vote for a Scientologist for president? Same idea. Now if you think refusing to vote for a Scientologist makes me bigoted, then I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

I would vote for a Buddhist president.
