Two Mormons in the White House?! Romney/Rubio 2012

[_Carton]

Interesting article I stumbled on today: Rubio's Mormon Roots

So is this why Rubio is so pro-Romney? Lots of people are conjecturing that Rubio would be Romney's pick as VP. So possibly two Mormons in the White House?

I live in Florida and have watched Rubio move up the food chain, However, I didn't realize that Rubio had any Mormon roots. He comes across like any other conservative right wing Republican crazy down here, except that he is a bit younger and better looking than most.

If he never had his name removed, he is still counted as a member. I do find it interesting that Rubio left the church, obviously to sin and become a closet homosexual, but he has led a successful life despite being influenced by Satan, and he remained a conservative Republican. How can someone leave the church (not just leave the church but join the church of the devil) and become a happy and successful republican? It's cases like this that must cause the TBM's head to explode.

I can just see all the SNL skits with Romney and Rubio dressed like Mormon missionaries, name tags, riding bikes, etc.

Not all Southern Republican right-wing crazies can help deliver the Hispanic vote.

Not sure that Marco can either. Young Hispanics down here (especially Cubans) are getting pretty fed up with Florida's Tea Party Governor and the right wing Republican crazies in general.

Wow, you must really think Mormons are idiots.

I had a burning in my bosom when I read that, therefore it must be true!

Not at all. I just know what they are taught to believe.

So you believe Mormons are taught to ignore Job and Ecclesiastes, and not to think about theodicy? You believe they're taught that it's black and white, and that only bad people suffer? That's not my experience as a Mormon who has taught and been taught to think the exact opposite.
