When I see presidential candidates do this stuff it makes me know they are liars and frauds just as bad as Obama - politicians and snakes in suits - another reason I wouldn't vote for Rick Perry.

On Friday, Robert Jeffress, a senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Dallas who supports Texas Gov. Rick Perry and introduced him at the Values Voters Summit, called Mormonism a “cult” in remarks to reporters.

Fine, I expected as much from a Baptist as traditionally they oppose the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints doctrinally.  However, when I was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and taught at a predominantly Baptist High School in DeRidder, Louisiana the Baptist faculty were very, very upset that the predominantly Baptist High School Kids remarked that we taught clearer and made more sense than the Baptist faith ever did and loved learning from us.  But the faculty quickly escorted us off campusright after and told us never to come back.  But whatever.

At any rate, not that I have a problem with a difference of opinions, I do have a problem with lies.  Beyond that I have a problem with political tactics like this among professed "Christians" who wont' say something themselves, but instead have a surrogate come out and say it for them so they don't get their hands dirty.  It's as bad as Obama "not hearing" Jimmy Hoffa Junior's call for violence against Republicans.

Didn't hear it.  Didn't condemn it. Didn't do it.  But it still happened.  Would you let your daughter date a man who does things like this?

FWIW as a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, during my undergraduate studies of psychology, I devoted a large part of my time studying the sociology of cults and cross referencing it with my religion and found the LDS church is about as far from a cult as you can get - especially compared to people who play games like the above while drawing accolades for being pious and devout.

Can't say I blame them for pulling all the stops to win the office of President of the United States, but I do blame people for a lack of integrity.
