mormonism is not Christianity, and to justify it as such is nonsense.
This is not a Christian voting for another Christian, it is Christians trying to justify their votes based on other criteria.
If that is acceptable, then vote for Romney otherwise don’t vote, there is NO justification for voting for obama.

an interesting take by David Kupelian over at WND. Here is the nut of it

“These courageous and devout Christian statesmen consciously, deliberately, purposefully chose to accommodate slavery – in fact, to constitutionally protect it for the next two decades – in the newly independent United States of America.

Slavery is evil. Yet, to obtain the needed state ratifications, our nation’s founders chose to allow and preserve this evil (temporarily) in the Constitution, which provided for the continued “importation” of slaves until 1808 and prohibited citizens from helping escaped slaves, requiring they be returned to their owners.

The founders didn’t have to do this. They could have proclaimed with righteous indignation, “Slavery is evil, and we refuse to enshrine it in our new Constitution. It doesn’t matter if the republic dissolves, God will not hold us blameless if we elect to support slavery.” That, of course, would have been the end of the convention as the Southern states would have bolted immediately, and the young nation’s slide into chaos would have continued unabated.

The founders chose the lesser of two evils – because it led to the greater good. For them, the greater evil, worse than allowing slavery – which they realized would come to an end before too many decades – would have been to allow the disintegration of the United States of America to continue, to permit history’s greatest birth of liberty to be smothered in the cradle.

Therefore, to all those who today proclaim so high-mindedly that they cannot dishonor God by choosing “the lesser of two evils,” I would say this:

Our wise forefathers, seeing our nation disintegrate before their eyes, did what they did in Philadelphia because it was the only way forward – otherwise they would lose their country. Today, our nation is likewise disintegrating. Whether you like Mitt Romney or not is irrelevant, just as the founders’ attitude toward slavery didn’t deter them from doing what they had to do to save the nation. Electing Romney is simply the only possible way to stop Obama from continuing on as president. Everything else is folly.”

A vote for anyone but Romney is a vote for Obama.

Partial birth aboortion.

Same sex marriage which will revoke the tax exempt status of ANY church not willing to perform gay marriage ceremonies.

Forcing churches to pay for aboortion and birth control.

Supporting homosexuality globally using Us tax dollars.

You shall know them by their deeds.

You support all of the above?

Or are you ab Obama plant showing up here to confuse?

Obama referee to the Koran as a “holy book” and Mohammed as a “prophet.”
The choice is Mormon or Muslim.

I’ll take the Mormon. Sorry!

Throw away your vote = voting FOR Obama.

If you’re a Rat operative, nice try. But wrong place to pull this.

True. Though since Jesus Christ himself was a practicing Jew, I guess most of the "Christians" here who will only vote "other Christians" would have to justify their votes based on other criteria, in order to support Jesus.
