Related: About this forumWhat happens if we wake up with a Mormon president?
The usual AlterNet lame headline for a lonnnnggg-cat full of provocative sentences.

Now its two days past the final-final deadline. Here I sit, staring at a blank Microsoft Word document titled MORMON BRAINFUCK HATE HATE I SUCK PLEASE SLAY ME DRAFT-8.82c3a.docx. The last communication I had with Punch was when I emailed a quote from Joseph Smith: You dont know me; you never knew my heart. No man knows my history. Its the epigraph that opens A Mormon President -- but taken out of context all it did was scare my editor: Why are you sending me Charlie Manson quotes, Ames? Are you threatening me?
I didnt have the heart to tell him I was quoting Mitt Romneys own personal Yoda or that the thought of an upgraded version of Joseph Smith taking control of the White House should scare the shit out of secular humanists and liberal elites, who, so far, have dismissed Romneys foundational ideology, treating it with parody or scorn, if at all.

People should be worried about the prospect of waking up to a MORON president; the fact that he also happens to be a Mormon is irrelevant.
