Sigh. Here we go again. A Georgia state legislator says Mitt Romney's LDS faith makes him wary.

The Marietta Daily Journal spoke with a number of Georgia legislators about the 2012 field. Republican Representative Judy Manning went off about Mitt and Mormons in general.


 

“I think Mitt Romney is a nice man, but I’m afraid of his Mormon faith,” Manning said. “It’s better than a Muslim. Of course, every time you look at the TV these days you find an ad on there telling us how normal they are. So why do they have to put ads on the TV just to convince us that they’re normal if they are normal? … If the Mormon faith adhered to a past philosophy of pluralism, multi-wives, that doesn’t follow the Christian faith of one man and one woman, and that concerns me.” 

Romney is also a flip-flopper, Manning said. 

“When he was the governor of Massachusetts he performed 100 — and I’m not sure this number is right, but my mind says it’s about 180 gay marriages — and now, when he is running as president on the Republican ticket, he says that marriage is between a man and a woman,” Manning said.
