First, let me apologize if you think I was trying to flame you, because I wasn't. That said, it seems that you don't know much about Mormons and the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints (LDS for short). The term "Mormon" is short for a practicioner in that particular church.
Second, and I really don't want to get too far off topic here, but your original post confused plural marriages and incest. Even the excommunicated Fundamentalist Mormons who have been kicked out of the great church would never force incest on a young girl. They may very well force her to marry a much older man that she doesn't like, but they would never force her to marry her uncle, which is what your post stated.
Personally, I find it hard to believe that I would have enough in common with a practicing Mormon to vote for him or her, but their religion would not preclude me from voting for them. Their religion is simply a sign of their other beliefs.
