Have to remember that one…..

SOMEONE WAS WATCHING THE AWARDS.

Ask them about the planets they’re going to inherit after they die!

Yes and I’m not sure a colored boy like Obama could be a Priest or did we flip flop on that one too….cherished beliefs are subject to change….remember that goofy stuff about loving one another…oops, wrong book.

The Mormons eventually allowed those of African descent into the church (though why anyone would join, I’m not sure), though I seem to recall they can’t become a leader or get into the inner church. That may have changed.Cartoonist Steve Benson is not only an ex-Mormon, his grandfather was the leader, even after becoming senile, which is why he wound up leaving. He has a site about them here: http://www.mormoncurtain.com/start_here.html

And of course the ever-popular, ever-funny http://wesclark.com/ubn/

Next up: the Jehovahs Witlessness get on the campaign trail with their hopeful…

Why bother? Neither one of them is going to get the nomination; the Tea-Party Republicans will never have them Mitt’s got Romneycare yoked around his neck, and Huntsman thinks Global Warming is real and also wants to end the war on drugs.

Worst of all, he’s refusing to engage in any Obama-Bashing.

In Peru, Mormon missionaries are called huevos because they always come in pairs.

(For those of you who don’t speak Spanish, “huevos” literally means eggs, but is it also slang for testicles.)

I work for a large public university, where you can’t throw a stone without hitting a Mormon missionary (and yes, they’re always in pairs, two young men in white shirts and black pants usually, though I have seen a woman as well, wearing a colored skirt and blouse).

a little racist maybe.

Glad to see you fall into that group of misinformed Americans.

Religion is not supposed to be a litmus test for public office. Yet 22% of Americans will not vote for a Mormon. golf clap

It’s fun to read the Koran to the missionaries on my doorstep.Bhagavad-Gita works, too. Tao Te Ching is always good.Can’t a black man relax, go fishing & kick his shoes off, without being a stereotype? I took it as a comment on how seriously he needs to take the competition.

What’s worse than two Mormons? Two “well-padded” Mormons (in the bang for the buck category).

Given the secular nature of the USA, I would be very surprised if any Mormon or evangelist succeeded in capturing the White House. It’s just unlikely.

There’s a reason they travel in pairs, to keep an eye on each other. As the old joke goes: “Why don’t you ever invite a Mormon to go fishing with you?Because they’ll drink all of your beer.”

Mit at least had the guts to state publicly that the United States Constitution, and government, is SECULAR, and that his religion should NOT enter into his decisions in government, or the campaign. As to “missionaries”- the best place is in a stew pot. Don’t need to read to them, accurately, from the Quran, just challenge them on their “bible”- and ask them to cite quotations in the literal and original, Aramaic, or even Greek.

If they fail in their bids to become President, they can always go work for Geek Squad.

@lbalchNot a little racist maybe. A lot racist maybe, and religiously intolerant too. I love him and his work, but he goes too far sometimes.

Just tell the missionaries that you’re a godless heathen. I do it, and it sends the poor dears running for the gate. And I say to the purveyors of organised religion, “Stuff it. I don’t need to talk to you, I’ve already talked to your boss.”

Don’t be stupid. Where does Obama figure here?

Hello, My name is Elder Romney And I would like to share with you the most amazing book

Hello,My name is Elder HunstmanIt’s a book about America a long, long time ago

Your comment is a FLOP! Congress passed a law over a hundred years ago saying: ‘only one man- one woman marriages are allowed in the territories’. Active Mormons are law abiding citizens. Polygamists are Excommunicated. And no, you don’t get to say: we don’t stick to our principles. Ask anyone who has been a friend with an active Mormon friend for more than a year how flippy they are on principles.

This cartoon says to me: BO, your fishing (golfing) days from the White House are over.

That reminds me of the story from the sailing ships era. Navys always had 2 armed guards at the compass. You see, the magnetic needle floated on pure alcohol. One had to watch the other and it took both of them to keep the crew at bay.
