19. Or Will They Vote For Angle Anyway?
Edited on Fri Oct-08-10 01:18 PM by Vogon_Glory
Or will conservative Nevada LDS'ers vote for Angle anyway, despite the fact she's associated herself with a pastor who has gone out of his way to attack the very foundations of their faith.

The mindset of present-day Republican voters continues to surprise me. They'll vote for ANY right-wing whack job who will attack their faith, their patriotism, their values, but as long as he or she displays their R/W/B Republican campaign button and waves the flag, they'll give him or her their vote.

Nineteenth century LDS'ers were anything BUT liberals, but they had better sense. THEY wouldn't have stood for that, and would have denied that politician their votes.

At the very least.

It looks like Nevada Mormons might well fall into line behind someone who might well attack their church without so much as making a peep of protest. On the other hand, let the Democratic candidate do so much as attend a church where a lowly usher even mildly disagrees with some incumbent Republican politico, they'll immediately conclude that not only is the usher a traitor, but so is anyone who attends that church or anyone even tangentially connected to that church's congregation.
