Why a Mormon Should Not be President of the USA
Preface
This is not a diatribe on the LDS faith, nor is it a personal attack on Mitt Romney or Jon Huntsman on a personal level. Many Americans object to electing a Mormon to the Presidency, feel that a Mormon candidate is tainted goods, but seem to have trouble pinpointing the reasons behind this uneasiness in the pit of their stomachs. The purpose of this article is to delineate, point by point, the rationality behind this objection. Any affiliate of a dogmatic faith should give us equal pause when considering such individuals for the office of Chief Executive.
