This is just what we need...

The Boston Globe reports that leading officials of the Mormon church are actively organizing a network of Mormon business-school alumni and "prominent Mormons" to "help [Mitt] Romney capture the presidency in 2008." Romney is a Mormon, rich, and (surprise, surprise) a Republican who's well known for his anti-homosexual rhetoric. He's also governor of Massachusetts, although the residents of that state seem to feel that he's rather neglecting them lately. (Apparently he has more important things than them on his mind.)

Always taking the side of freedom's enemies, the radical fundamentalists of the religious right have their tentacles everywhere.... oh, I forgot. Only the ACLU is "radical" and has "tentacles". These here are just kindhearted religious folk who want to help the US government show us all the ONE TRUE PATH THAT GOD HAS ORDAINED FOR HIS CHILDREN.

The church claims that its support of Republican Romney's political campaign is neutral and nonpartisan.

It seems unlikely that the Republican-controlled IRS will choose to investigate the Mormon church's tax-exempt status, no matter how blatantly it campaigns for partisan political candidates. After all, it's not as if they were advocating peace on earth, goodwill to men or some other subversive, America-hating treason like that.
