For exactly these reasons. The tribe will die.
You lament the death of the tribe while mocking those who would vote for Romney out of tribal instincts.

You look forward gleefully to the prospect of mormons facing the dilemna of an anti-mormon republican nominee, yet you deride those that would be willing to vote for an anti-mormon candidate.

You criticize a pushback against the old prophets, while you show no hesitation to pushback yourself when convenient.

You are outraged at the racist history of the old prophets, but are highly critical of Mitt for expressing negative thoughts about polygamy.

You agonize over mainstreaming while agonizing over drops in convert baptisms. Then you link the two. (you also grossly overstate the mainstreaming, IMO).

And the solution to "saving the tribal identity" is more people attempting to steady the ark?

My head is spinning.
