I have no idea whether what he said  was part of the original tenets of the LDS. but I am fairly certain that most mormons do not feel that way today.  I do not judge people by their religion. I do not care if they are catholic, protestant ,LDS, hindu buddhist, moslem, or athist. I will judge them on how they behave and comport themselves in public. I abhor religion being dragged into the political arena. The recent postcard is a example. Who ever perpetuated this should be charged with what ever the law allows. I do not think that it came from any of the candidates of either party and I would like to see a public statement to that effect.
