Some of us who have experienced the Mormon life firsthand would rather choose a messy, colorful America
Given that Mitt Romney is a high church official and not just a member, voters are right to be circumspect.
Voters want a candidate they can identify with. Historically, that does not bode well for Mormons.
Nothing Mitt Romney or others might say can assuage that deep-seated anxiety. And insisting it has no basis in fact only raises some people’s fears further.
When it comes to the social agenda, the Mormon Church does not respect separation of church and state.
