No golden ballots

This has got to sting in a peculiar* way.

Mitt may have taken Mormon Zion, Utah that is, but he lost the birthplace of his religion in Palmyra, western New York.

John McCain won Ontario and Wayne counties, home to several Mormon historic sites and a handful of LDS voters.

In 1820, a teen-aged Joseph Smith reported seeing God and Jesus in a maple grove near his home in Palmyra, just east of Rochester. The rest, as they say, is history.

*DNews MormonTimes word of the week!

Don't be a hater Warchol. I like some of your posts, but your consistent derision toward Mormons, combined with that stupid looking pose, makes me want to knock your teeth in...but alas, I'm a lover not a fighter.

I think we should start a charity for Mr. Warchol. Instead of donating money, people can donate snappy new insults and whimsical phrases to poke fun at Mormons and Mitt Romney. Your creativity's fading, there, Glen.

Actually, I thought that was some pretty creative observation there Glen.
As a Utahn and a Mormon, I am ashamed at the fact that Romney got 90% of the vote here in Utah!
It is obvious that these people voted for him because he was Mormon. And if they say nay, then I would ask...Do you support Mitt's Idea that " Programs like food stamps are contributing to a Disease in our American culture"?
Thats what he said yesterday in his dropping out speach!!!!
The reality is that our religion teaches us to have compassion and to help care for those less fortunate! All I say is thank God, this man who lacks passion for our society is no longer running for president!
