I'd vote for a Mormon but I'll never vote for the Muslim Obama. He was raised in a muslim country and attended islamic seminary.

I'm hoping against hope here...I know that there are several here that will hijack this thread to trash Mormons, because they have nothing else in their life to keep them occupied...but, Mormons do consider themselves Christians...they believe that Jesus Christ is the savior, that he died for our sins, and that he is the way to heaven.

I give this post four or five steps before someone slams me on this and commences an attack on the Mormon/Christian relationship.

As I said, some people have way too much time, and way too much religious animosity to accept Mormons as Christians, regardless of the conservative values that Mormons espouse.

MORMONS ARE CHRISTIANS.

MORMONS ARE A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN'S BEST FRIEND.

I'm looking for a President who will put America first, not the interests of Mexico or anywhere else.

Orin Hatch and Harry Reid are both LDS (Mormons). I've heard nothing about Hatch's ethics or personal life, but Reid is the Poster Boy for corruption.
So I will judge Romney's fitness for my vote like any other candidates.

I would vote for a three-headed chicken if I thought he/she/it would be a good President.

I'd vote for a black, a white, a latino. I'd vote for a Christian, a Catholic, a Baptist, a Mormon, a Quaker. A Republican, a Democrat, a man, a woman.

I would not vote for a Muslim.

Is it bigoted to not vote for someone because you believe that the core of thier belief system is based on killing or converting me?

I'd vote for Steve Young for President before I'd vote for Romney. Religion has nothing to do with it. Young has more leadership qualities and honesty in the pinkie finger of his throwing hand than Romney has in his entire public trough feeding body.

I don't think the usual suspects have started drinking yet tonight. You might have to wait a while for that. :)

Sure, I'd vote for a Mormon, if he/she was a good, solid conservative strong on national security.

Know one?

Mormons are Christians.

From the number of Mormons who have tried to convert me, I find that hard to believe.

"In the end, Mitt Romney should be treated like any other candidate for president ... His fitness for office ..." I'll drink to that! Now, lets discuss his fitness.

I don't have a problem with Mormons calling themselves Christians too.

I do have a problem when they get in a snit if you call Warren Jeffs and his band of many wives Mormons too.

They believe and worship with the Book Of Mormon. Yet the main church in Utah tries to tell us that they are not mormons. The nerve.

The Mormon church started with a lie and continues the lie to this day. Namely, " the Gold Tablets" , Smith is supposed to have found. In Utah the church claims the tablets are locked in a vault. The only person to have seen those gold tablets was , Joe Smith himself. Martin Harris took dictation behind
a sheet while Ol' Joe paced the floor behind it "interpreting" them. The first 116 pages of the Book of Mormon are missing. My feeling is Harris went home and told his wife he was fronting $ 5.000.00 to print the book and she got mad and tossed the pages of dictation in the fire. All but 116 pages was recovered. You might say, " well, what's the big deal"? "Just re-dictate the missing pages.
Smith was too foxy for that. Suppose the missing pages still existed and could be compared the new dictation? Smith was flying by the seat of his horny pants in the first place and no way could duplicate the missing pages.
Until the church comes clean I have no respect for this religion.

I'd really like to have the names of those mysterious "several prominent evangelicals" who will never vote for a Mormon.

Somehow no one can come up with a name.

I'm old enough to have vivid memories of those times. What we didn't get --in retrospect, and we needed it then-- was a truthful picture of his moral fitness. I don't think that question will be a negative with Romney, thankfully.

I don't know Bill Press but if he thinks we all need to hear JFK's well considered remark about public policy v. private belief then he needs to make that demand of all candidates. What is Rodham anyway? I think a member of the "Mistress of the Universe" Cult

Mr. Romney explained it all quite well recently when he commented that every religion has some strange events which are difficult to believe or words to that effect.

It is disgusting to bring religion into every damn thread around these days.
