If you google 'mormonism and racism' or 'mormonism and gays' you will find that the LDS church has been far more racist and anti-gay than you can imagine.
Until 1978 blacks were entirely barred from positions within the church (not even to mention gays), and for his entire involvement with the LDS Mitt Romney has never challenged these policies.
Worse is the fundamental concept that the mormon teaching have / had that those with dark skin are cursed and an injunction on any forms of 'race mixing'.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." Joseph Goebbels
Great. RP is either a conspiracy driven racist or he lets people write things in his name without even bothering to check it out - before or after the fact. Is that the kind of attention to detail you want in a president? Sorry, but you RP supporters can't make this turd smell sweet no matter how hard you try.
Rafter you(Sheeple) and your ignorant comments toward Ron Paul and us his supporters are the death throws of an Ignorant group of voters and people who run this country. The Sweet smell will be that of you whom long for an government controled Country that is Bankrupt. I donot understand how so many people can be so blind to the Uniteds States Plight and et you cling to the Masters whom push these puppets in front of you and talk crap about the only person who would care about you. Maybe this country deserves what it gets...hopefully enough wake up and put Ron in front so the smarter people will not have to suffer any longer.
Supporting Gary Johnson does not create enough of a threat to the Establishment Republicans. His supporters want to see markets in turmoil, with complete uncertainty for the long-established networks of graft and mercantilism. Europe should take notice, for time is running out and the Fed window may not be open for long. They barely have time for Operation Twist to wind up and for QE3 to start in June 2012 but I digress. The point of supporting Ron Paul is a variation of game theory's "blackmailer's dilemma," where Establishment Republicans are to be intimidated into adopting Ron Paul's platform in order to salvage their chances in 2012. Have people forgotten how the Tea Party has suddenly discovered Saul Alinsky? If and when Ron Paul does not get the nomination, many of his supporters will either vote for Gary Johnson or not vote at all, which guarantees Obama a second term. The Perot/Nader spoiler scenario is now in play. If Ron Paul takes Iowa, New Hampshire and others, the GOP will have passed the point of no return. They would have had a chance to throw the Fed, the defense contractors and the FIRE sector under the bus, but it would be too late. The Tea Party will then give the GOP the same recommendation that General Jack D. Ripper gave to the President in Dr. Strangelove: TOTAL COMMITMENT. If Ron Paul somehow pulls it off for the nomination, I can almost feel the seismic capital flows into K Street in an attempt to buy him off. If not, the war chest then goes to Obama as a "consideration" to maintain the status quo. If Ron Paul's candidacy lasts any longer, I predict that the survivalist blogosphere will start floating fears of dirty tricks and political violence engineered by the New World Order or whoever.
Paul really is a pathetic joke.
An anti-government crusader who, of course, feeds himself quitely nicely on his fat government salary and health care benefirts.
A preacher of "personal responsibility" who, of course, accepts none of it himself.
Sprinkle in some flat out racism, some insane conspiracy theories and delusions, and you've got yourself your basic GOP presidential candidate.
Oh wait! Ron Paul is feeding himself nicely on his fat government salary. The same man who refuses to take the benefits package that is given to all elected officials. The same man who has publicly said that he would only take a $32,000 salary as president. The same as the average American citizen.
Why not learn a little history and pay attention. Is 30 minutes too much to ask? After all, it is your life too.
WannaBe, have you asked yourself about RP's finances, and whether he needs that government benefits package? If he was middle class, I'd be mire impressed with that stand. But a rich man refusing to take government benefits isn't exactly a sacrifice.
Ron Paul refuses to take the pension he has earned as a representative in congress. Conspiracies do exist, you just have not been awakened to them yet. He puts principle before party, and you can't stand that.
CBS may think they're cute by using this remarkably unflattering photograph of Ron Paul, but it only serves to confirm their obvious bias. Photo of subject with eyes half closed = hit-piece to follow!
Let's see, a few newsletters with racist and anti-imperial gov't surface that are completely at odds with EVERY speech and vote Ron Paul has ever made and every Special Needs journalist takes them and runs with them as if these few newsletters represent Ron Paul's views on Civil Liberties which he has written on spoken on hundreds of times over his lifetime.
It is painfully obvious that either 30 yeas of votes and dozens of books represent Paul's view or a few newsletters that were published with his name on them. The level of ignorance by the author and those that are parroting his false claims is not surprising, sadly it is common.
You can't fix Stupid, but you can let Evolution run its course.

Did he take any steps to challenge the pervasive racism in his church -- I think not...
Seems like mormons consider themselves the 'real' jews and want to convert the other 'jews' to lds.
Weird.
