From an MSNBC article today, announcing Senator Orrin Hatch's withdrawal from the presidential race:

[Senator Orrin] Hatch, the only Mormon among the presidential contenders, has said anti-Mormon bias hurt him among the voters he was trying hardest to court: Christian conservatives.

"Some of these people have an absolutely loony belief that Mormons arent Christian," Hatch said on Friday. "Theres some misapprehensions and some miscomprehension about my faith."

Thanks, Orrin. Glad to know you think I'm a loony. :P

His being a Mormon had nothing to do with me not caring for him as a Presidential candidate. In fact, this is the first I'm hearing he was Mormon.

He's just made because Alan Keyes spanked him!!!!

Having read Mormon theology extensively, I absolutely KNOW that Mormon beliefs are anything but Christian. They are cultic, and they teach a Jesus Christ of strange fantasy, never mind their strange one about God. It is a very sad belief system, though the Mormons I have known are very nice persons.

I was flipping channels earlier, and heard the guy on Comedy Central's "Daily Show" talking about Hatch, so I stopped to listen. He mentioned Hatch's sentiments about Christians being against him because he was a Mormon. He then said, "Mrs. Hatch echoed his sentiments ....
