Good.

Good.

Why do you want your party to go even further off Beckified the deep end?

He's just made some disturbing comments, specifically about the Mormon church. I don't know who his opponent is, but I don't want this guy back in the House, even if it means supporting a Democrat.

That is the only comment he's made regarding Mormonism. I really don't see it as an insult to the Mormon Church.

He is inferring that Mormonism is not Christianity. That is clearly insulting to Mormons as they classify themselves as Christians. If you knew anything about Mormonism you would have known that.

Look at this part specifically. What Inglis is trying to say is that many people in South Carolina do not consider Mormons part of the Christian Faith. He's rightfully asserting that if Romney claimed to be a christian, the Evanfascist pastors would be in an uproar about it. He's right, South Carolinians generally do not have a very positive opinion of Mormonism. He's attempting to give Romney advice.

And about my knowledge of Mormonism, I generally don't know very much and don't care very much. All I know that it's pretty recently that Mormons wanted to consider themselves part of the Christian faith. Smith certainly didn't consider himself a Christian.

Maybe he was just trying to give helpful advice. But the way he worded it was very wrong and made it sound like he also didn't feel like Mormons were also Christians. I have actually discussed this with a couple Mormon friends, and while they weren't mad about the statements, they do think the way he said it made it seem like he didn't think Mormon's were Christians.
