It's not a surrender. I'm happy to discuss it with anyone else.

And if they favor the little guy so much, why do liberals try to limit individual freedom?

When I was an intern in DC back in 2004, I talked to this black man at institute who used to lobby for civil rights in 70s. He said it was easier to work with conservatives. They'll tell you "no way" initially, but later they open up, and out of Southern honor they deliver. With liberal politicians on the other hand, they make you all these promises, and after they can't deliver, they make up some excuse like, "I tried to work it into the language, but couldn't..."

And the other shoe drops.
Anti-Mormon bias persists, notably among Democrats Quote:

Nonetheless, the fact remains: Evangelical Christians are dumb and ignorant.

It seems Democrats have been measurably as bigoted toward Mormons as evangelicals (if not more so) since at least 2006. Certainly more so than Republicans or the general public.

It wouldn't surprise me if a number of liberal democrats are inclined to be against Mormon candidates. Because they are perceived as being arch-right wing conservatives (even if the facts don't generally bear this out always).
It's kind of like asking Mormons if they like candidates who are affiliated with the ACLU. But my experience in life suggests to me that there is all kinds of Mormon bias: among the uneducated and the educated, rich and poor, left and right. |
