Yeah the secretive thing is a bit odd, but every religion has its secrets.
I hear stories about Mormons being excommunicated for not being able to bear children, or it being very repressive to children, stuff like that. And I know that they don't take too kindly to gays, but then again, neither do many orthodox Jews.
My actual friends that are Mormon, however, are some of the kindest, most generous, most fun (and kinkiest *ahem* must be that repression) people that I know. And many of them did that Mormon mission thing to various places too. So really, as my views of Mormons come from them, it is positive.
With respect to Mitt, however, he's a Republican, and I would not vote for him because of that.
