[At this point in this article -- a Friday lark riffing on a thing that is amusing to political die-hards -- we'd like to point out that we are not being sincere. (Hopefully you had already realized that.) It was all a mistake on the Depart of Motor Vehicle's part, as the original SLT article makes clear; Romney is and will remain a Republican. Why point out that this is a joke in the middle of the article? Because that is funnier. People will read the first few sentences or paragraphs and get all mad. Then they'll skip to the bottom, where the last line will be, We now know more about Romney's smart 2016 plans than we might otherwise have expected, and assume that their assumption that we are idiots was right and that this is just garbage nonsense. Which we object to; it is high-quality nonsense. Anyway, play along with the angry people in the comments, alright?]
I hope I educated you on the fact that some Americans pay attention to religion when voting.
Don’t care.
FUMR...
See post 9, Romney is of both parties.
I would vote for a candidate of any of those faiths if they had conservative values.
In a two man race for president, it sounds like you prefer the irreligious views of Obama to the religion of Romney. Your choice if that is your preference.
Mitt is very qualified...at losing elections. No fight.
How can God’s only begotten son have a brother?
Yes you have educated me. I think about a candidate’s background including religion. But I don’t feel that any specific faith is a deal breaker.
NO thank you.
Vote Islam if you want.
Yeah. I've known about that.
But it's irrelevant to the trick that the Post writer tried to pull in this article...
I know, I should have fleshed out the post to say so though.
Oh God, no, not a third party candidate. It would guarantee a Dem victory.
Yeah, I think that’s the GOP elite plan. Kill the conservative with an Independant - that’s why Ollie North lost his Senate bid in VA.
If mittens runs as an indie, say hello to Pres Clinton II, or whatever clown the dems want in the whitehouse
“You of course are free to vote on whatever criteria you choose.”
Agreed.
“But in 2012, we ended up with an irreligious man winning the election.”
I think he is religious. I don’t think he is a Christian.
“Is that preferable to a Mormon candidate? Perhaps you believe it is.”
1. No, they are equally wrong spiritually.
2. Mormonism claims to be “Christian” while denying the God of the Bible and making him into an idol. It perverts the truth of the Gospel and consequently hides the Source of eternal life. I don’t want to do anything to elevate or validate this perversion.
3. Mitt RINOmney wanted to be president and made noises to be elected, but is no conservative.
“It just seems odd that in applying such religious tests, a voter can end up with a secular humanist such as Obama, who clearly has disdain for religious faith in general.”
1. It is the system our country’s Founders chose. Some people vote strictly for their financial interests, some vote strictly on pro-life issues, some vote strictly by party, some have a balanced view. I have a balanced view that is bigger than an election.
2. I believe the POStus (sorry I misspelled that) is religiously a muslim.
Please don’t run again, Mitt.
Maybe he and Jon Huntsman will start their own party.
