[Vision2020] Religious Concerns about a Candidate?

[keely emerinemix]

Without painting with a broad brush, the LDS community locally and throughout its national history is, almost as a point of practice, strongly pro- public education.  I don't think a guy on a funds-slashing mission like Bouma had any chance with the LDS in Latah County.

Did anybody else just hear a loud "Whoosh" noise?

The question about Bouma's association with Pastory Lloyd, Mr. Price, has exactly to do with the fact that folks from Freeze Church would not vote for a Mormon candidate.  Did you read the controversial sermon in question.  Lloyd spends nearly an entire sermon lambasting Glenn Beck and his followers simply because Beck is Mormon.



I am sure this is an issue of concern for many of those within the Latah County LDS community.  How do you think they would feel about Bouma's association with Freeze Church and Pastor Lloyd?

Just an open question here that I'd like an answer to:  When has our

politics devolved so much that we would or wouldn't vote for a

candidate base on his/her religion?



Just taking a step back from the Republican / Democrat / Tea Party

politics, this is starting to sound like the taliban when a vote will

be based or a person would be belittled because of what their church

and faith they believe in. Would it be OK to ask these same kind of

questions if a candidate is jewish or catholic? I just want to know

how far tolerance  goes and where is the line?
