Since when have Christians had anything against Mormons?

Exactly.  There are tremendous differences in all sorts of areas.  That's why I was surprised to see "me's" comments that precipitated this thread in the Rough House.  It's well known, and common knowledge, that most mainstream Christian religions disagree vehemently with the Mormons, and almost all of them consider Mormonism to be a cult.
I honestly had no clue since, like I said, I never got into any religion in depth and when someone starts talking about another religion or theirs my ears turn off because I don't care to hear it.

That's kinda' like me LOL!  But I do know what some of the basic tenants of each one of them are, and have a general idea of who agrees with whom and who doesn't.  ;D

No one I know or have ran across has ever fired up on the Mormons before and I thought they were all like Donnie and Marie.....j/k'ing..... I did see that movie which was based on fact a while back and learned that there are radicals in that religion too, dangerous ones, or there were at that time.  Can't remember the name of the movie though.

More likely Warren Jeffs.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Not from what I've seen.  He only has one wife and evidently a solid marriage since the dems haven't brought anything up about affairs and you know they would have had they found any remote evidence.  Well, there's always the "unnamed source" they could try to pull which I imagine they'll do when this tax thing goes nowhere.

He doesn't stand a chance if he doesn't release more financial information and he's probably screwed if he does.  Tough spot for your guy...sure you don't want to back Ron Paul?

Yep!  And even conservative pundit George Will agrees with that statement.  He says Romney has most likely weighed the risks of not releasing them against the risks of releasing them, and apparently has come to the conclusion that not releasing them is the better option. 

It sure seems that there's something in those returns that may very well cook his goose.

Let's not get too excited.....I don't think JUST because he does not release his tax forms RIGHT now, means he is cooked.  I think he is STILL in the driver seat...

the bottom line will be as I have stated early on........IF the economy is still in this shape or worse.....it is Romney by a landslide...

If the economy improves, it will be a close one, but I say it will be Obama's.

So you think there's nothing in there that he's trying to hide?

If he is trying to hide something, and I don't know if he is or not, he has had several years to do it since he has been running for president for at least five years. I know he can't change his tax returns, but he could sure come up with a 'cover' story in that amount of time, don't you think?  I don't know who will win the election, IMO it is usually hard to unseat an incumbent unless something pretty bad is going on, but there are always exceptions.

You happen to remember what happened when John McCain looked at Romney's tax returns four years ago?

I don't know....

That question came up when Obama did not show a birth cerificate, or when it took him 3 years to find one to show....

I didn't care then with him, and I don't care an awful lot about Romney and his tax records.....I'm sure they are MUCH more complicating than Obama's....since obama had one or two jobs the last decade.  Romney has enormous entreprenuerial adventures and several jobs...

I'm not ready to through the towel on him because he has not....I think if there was any REAL problems, they would have surfaced WAY before now...

YOU know as well as I do....this is ALL political BS now....both trying to find an ounce of dirt on the other and run with it.
