Very interesting article.
If Romney gets elected then UVA should get Quinn for the new Mormon studies chair.

Michael Quinn wrote:Is there any evidence that L.D.S. headquarters has abandoned its interest in influencing the decisions of L.D.S. officeholders in Washington, D.C.?
Have Mormon Republicans departed from their historical patterns of embracing political direction from the L.D.S. Church hierarchy?
Is Mitt Romney an unwavering statesman who is resistant to such pressures?
No, no, and no.
Those are my answers, based on my reading of Quinn's article.

Good Article, thought Quinn did leave out the part where Romney's Dad stood up to the church on civil rights.

I'm finding the overabundant usage of scare quotes to be distracting. I understand why he's using them, but that doesn't make it not distracting, and I think he could have gotten by without them.

Yes, this is my testimony of Kish's basing anything off his reading of Quinn.

Oh, look. Someone who has constructed his entire worldview on what the LDS Church and the Tea Party have told him to believe is suggesting that another person has failed to employ critical thinking.
I would love to read more of bcspace's thoughts on critical thinking, just as soon as I finish this pamphlet from Crack Whores For Chastity.
