The people who believe and practice their faith in the manner that you described are not part of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So, implying that because Romney is a member of that church, he may condone forcing young girls to marry old men or that he may be secretly planning to wed another six women to gain entry into Heaven is ridiculous. It is as unfair as alleging that because Rick Perry is a Christian, he may share the beliefs of Fred Phelps and the members of the Westboro Baptist Church, even though that church is not a member of any "any known Baptist conventions or associations" [according to Wikipedia].

Nothing in Romney's background, including his father's long career in politics and the auto industry suggests that he is part of any radical Mormon sect. Those who try to connect those dots are engaging in an old-fashioned witch hunt.

Your argument is exactly right IMO as it applies in the secular realm. What LWC is referring to is his (Romney's) stead before the Living God. Mixing religion and politics LETHAL, LOL!
