Long way to get to my question, but inquiring minds want to know.

[Jemian]

I am a Calvinist.
I will not vote for Romney.
I will not vote for Jeb Bush.
I don’t think I’ll vote for Gingrich.

I do not know for whom I will vote. I do know that I will not vote for the LEAST BAD.

The republican party election slogan: vote for our guy; he’s not as bad as their’s.

[alancarp]

Calvinist here: I’m voting for a Republican. Admittedly, that still might leave out Mitt, but bottom line: if it comes down to Obama and ANYBODY else. The ANYBODY will have my vote.

Hopefully the lines aren’t long, as I would have to hold my nose for the duration.

[Hodar]

At this point, I hope Mitt isn’t the nominee; but I’ll vote for ANYONE over Obama.

[arderkrag]

I will not vote for Romney, under any circumstances, against any opponent. Hold-your-nose voters are part of what’s wrong with conservatism as it stands in this country.

[apillar]

Well if it comes down to a Morman (Romney) and Black Liberation theology secular humanist (Obama). I would have to go with Romney, provided no viable 3rd party candidate appears. I'm certainly not going to campaign or donate to Romney, (and probably never admit I voted for him) but on election day I'll choke down the bile long enough to cast my ballot, then go home and take a long bath in Clorox...

[circlecity]

If Romney gets the nod there will be no Christians in the general election to vote for.

[JenB]

I’m Reformed and I’m predestined not to vote for Romney :)

Seriously, I want a real conservative. His cult membership isn’t as big a deal as his lack of conservative principles and smarmy used-car salesman ways.

Now... I didn’t vote for McCain either, I voted for Palin and that guy who was on the ticket with her so IF Romney gets it and IF he nominates someone as awesome as Palin to run with him then well, all bets are off.

[Persevero]

I am a Calvinist.

One Calvinist I know is leaning towards Newt.

FOUR other Calvinists I know are supporting Ron Paul! Total insanity. I can’t talk any sense into them. Cognitive dissonance.

Myself and my house (6 voters, now), don’t have a preference at this point, although one is leaning Bachmann. The only person we WON’T vote for, even if he is somehow the “republican” nomineee - is Ron Paul. In short we’ll vote for Romney or Newt or Perry or whoever is the R nominee.

[joe fonebone]

NEVER, EVER, EVER SIT OUT AN ELECTION.... I may vote daffy duck for president, but I will go and elect the tea party / strict constitutionalist house and senate candidates, along with local ones... If we have the house and senate, and they are determined to use their constitutional powers, then the president is in check.... but I will no longer cast my ballot for the least communist / socialist on the ticket... my consience will not allow me to elect someone that is a socialist, period.... mcromney is a communist lite.... no way no how...

[presently no screen name]

I am wanting to know if you Freepers whop lean to the Calvinist teachings will you or will you not vote for Romney if he is the Republican Nominee?

VERY SIMPLE! - Vote for Newt in the primary and there is no worry about Mitt or Barry.

By all means - be a good citizen and vote in the primary and be thankful we have him to defeat socialism. Don't throw away what patriots fought and died for. Otherwise, consider yourself part of the problem and not the solution which 'WeThePeople' should be! It's obvious you love our country that you ask and question - now put it into practice. He needs our support - the liberals and rinos are fighting very hard to bring him down and that means 'we' go down - don't stand for it - fight back at the primary. The general could very well be too late.

[americanophile]

Well your other choice will be someone who is one of, or an amalgamation of, the following: a functioning atheist, a black liberation theologist or a crypto-Muslim.

I'll take the other guy, whoever he is.

[NavyCanDo]

If it's because he's Mormon I don't know of one Protestant Christian of any denomination that will state that as a reason for them not supporting Romney. If it's because he is not conservative enough that is another story - and I don't think the percentages will be any higher than if the poll was taken of freepers.

[Theo]

Hm. I honestly don’t understand the relevance of one’s doctrinal leanings here, whether Reformed/Calvinist or Arminian.

If we’re American citizens, and registered to vote, we’ll probably vote. And being FReepers, we’ll probably vote the most conservative candidate.

Am I missing something?

[Gipper08]

No to Romney and NEWT

[fungoking]

How they will vote has already been decided for them; they only think they have the free will to choose.

[Liberty Valance]

This GOP clown car of candidates hasn't got anything to do with Christians, "Evangelicals", Calvanists, Snake Handlers, Budhists, Shape Note readers, Mormons, Catholics, Jews or even Muslims.

It's about conservatism and smaller government. JMHO

Is Cliff Clavin a Calvinist?

[Phillipian]

As a Calvinist, I couldn’t vote for a member of a cult. So, no Romney and no Newt.

Maybe I’ll wind up doing what Calvin did. Go to Switzerland,...er, I mean Costa Rica.

[fishtank]

I am a Calvinist.

I say no to George W. McDole Rmoney.

[7MMmag]

...no offense intended.

[Alex Murphy]

...Arminiasm view...
...Arminianist view...
...I myself am an evangelical Christian that lean to the Arminian view...
...Armenian leaning evangelicals...
...Arminianist...
I am finding that as a whole Calvinist leaders and a vast number of those who call these shows, or leave comments on their web sites, their followers have no problem voting for Romney IF he gets the nomination.

Now if "Arminianist" wasn't bad enough, the article opens with a picture of Martin Luther and not John Calvin! Tell you what Tom - I'm going to sit this one out, until you're capable of taking your subject matter seriously.
