Well any Democrat who claims to have an issue with a politician being Mormon is a hypocrite. The Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has a been a Mormon in good standing his entire political career. I haven't seen one single Democrat voice their concerns over his Mormon religion. But that is typical behavior of liberals. They can sit back and say with a straight face that the extremist church Obama attended for 20 years (got married in, etc) with the pastor screaming GOD @$## AMERICA is not an issue. But a Republican is a Mormon and suddently it's OMG we can't elect that guy! He's a Mormon!

Typical liberal, always looking to swing mud. And do anything possible to stay away from the true issues affecting the country. Also, attempting to keep conversation away from Obama's record.

Typical Liberal? I dislike just about all politicians equally and for your information, in Australia the Australian Liberal Party is the equivalent of the US Republican Party. The Australian Labor Party is the US Democrats equivalent. Not that there is really any difference anymore.

"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—hereafter known as the Mormons—was founded by a gifted opportunist who, despite couching his text in openly plagiarized Christian terms, announced that "I shall be to this generation a new Muhammad" and adopted as his fighting slogan the words, which he thought he had learned from Islam, "Either the Al-Koran or the sword."
On October 14, 1838, Joseph Smith called himself a “second Muhammad” as he was concluding a speech in the public square at Far West, Missouri. Those words have been verified by affidavits from Thomas B. Marsh, Orson Hyde (from Joseph’s Quorum of the Twelve), George M. Hinkle, John Corrill, W.W. Phelps (a major leader in the Mormon church), Samson Avard (founder of the Danites), and Reed Peck.
I have heard the prophet say that he should yet tread down his enemies, and walk over their dead bodies; that if he was not let alone he would be a second Mahomet to this generation, and that he would make it one gore of blood from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean; that like Mahomet, whose motto, in treating for peace, was “the Alcoran or the Sword,” so should it be eventually with us, “Joseph Smith or the Sword.”
