I know you folks don’t understand the nature or the heart of the LDS ...

I suspect that you don't understand the nature or heart of those of us who wisely fear and reject Romney on the basis of his politics, which are demonstrably nanny state big government. His LDS, your LDS, and his supporters' LDS status is of zero importance to many of us because many of us know and have lived among LDS and former LDS folks who run the gamut from creeps and sleazeballs to wonderful, honest, and valued friends and co-workers. Individual LDS followers are no more uniform in their "child of God uplifting one another" ethic than Presbyterians, Lutherans, Catholics, Baptists, Jews, or the individual members of any other religious group.

Lets encourage each other to choose and do the right thing. The most important things that who ever is president has a true desire to lead this country back and to the constitution and build a firmer foundation.

You're stating the obvious and simultaneously ignoring it. I and many others here are encouraging YOU and Romney fans to do the right thing and FACE UP to the fact that your guy is a bad choice. He has demonstrated a propensity to do the opposite of what you and anyone with sense deems "the most important things that whoever is president" should do.

Maybe you ought to drop your fixation with the LDS thing and start looking at the politics, instead.

How can I say this without offending?

It is my experience I had as part my conversion that instead of disowning someone who is not in lock step with the template. One should enable encourage another to rise to their better nature.

I also want to make known the LDS don’t claim to have any market on this it is just when one is walking the walk they are more likely to practice these attributes and maybe the reason might be because there seems to be more emphases of this in our lessons.

I also want to acknowledge that I have recognized others who also have employed these qualities who are not of my faith.

I am sure we all have a few special someone in our life be it a teacher, boss, friend, parent that always make us awared that there is a better choice instead of trying to undermine or destroy because they did not like what they did!

This was the only point I was trying to make!

I can not read the hearts and minds of many, I do have discernment when someone is trying to annihilate this country which Obama Inc is trying to do!

I know that should Obama Inc remove many Democrats vs that we too would also like to see go.

But there will be a differents in what each of us want those of us who love our country want to replace a Reid with someone who will addhere to the Principles of the Constitution.

Obama Inc will give someone like Reid, Polosi, Schulmer, Boxer Durbin etc the kiss of death hoping to replace with one of his Mao type people!

Well said! Most of us who don't like Romney, dislike him because of his politics, not his religion.
