Mitt Romney and Mormonism

I'm not voting for him until he teaches me the secret Temple handshake and code.

Actually, my MIL is Mormon, and since we share a house I get some up close and personal interactions with them. By and large nice group, but if you aren't with them you are not one of them. You get invited to bring presents to wedding receptions, but never the weddings. You are actually left out of a lot of things. And, apologies to PB, but they most definitely do subjugate their womenfolk. Nothing new in religious societies, but it is there, and pervasive. Maybe men don't notice it as much, but I can tell you the women certainly do. Still, I would vote for Romney, if he believed in anything I did politics-wise.
