Early in the presidential campaign, the [dis]Honorable Orrin Hatch, Senator from Utah, accused the president of future slams against the LDS Church as an attack against Mitt Romney.
Even though the article in the Salt Lake Tribune (Nov 17, 2012, page 1 of the Utah section) says “Proof of anit-LDS campaigning appears scant,” Hatch said “There was a lot more than you think, If you didn’t see it, there’s something wrong.”
Yeah, Orrin, there is something wrong. Your shirt and tie are so tight that you’re getting hallucinations from the lack of blood to your brain. Even the people at BYU, the LDS Church’s own University, disagree with you. The Tribune wrote “Quin Monson, head of Brigham Young University’s Center for the Study of Politics and Democracy, says Romney’s Mormon faith wasn’t a big issue in the general election.”
Hell, Senator Mike Lee, Tea Party darling of the Utah Republican Party, even said that his faith got “trashed” more by his own party in the primary elections. “I did expect it to occur; I didn’t expect it to come from the Obama campaign or the Democrats. I thought that one or more super PACs or surrogates, whatever, would attack the church. It didn’t really happen”, Lee said.
So Orrin, just shut the hell up. The election is over, you were wrong. All this bellyaching you’re doing does nothing but prove to people how desperate you are to be relevant.
