If he ever becomes the candidate, I believe most Evangelicals are flexible enough to understand that in politics and democracy, it is always a choice between the lesser of the two evils.

Between a Mormon Romney and an "orthodox" pro-choice, pro-gay lifestyle socialist like sHrillary, I'll take the former thank you.

His republican bashing this week won't help him either.

His problems won't be in the national election, it would be the primary. I don't think he is a good candidate anyway.

This evangelical understands that the lesser of two evils plan is the plan that circles the toilet. It's bunk! Now, that said, I don't care about his mormonism. What I don't like is his fake-out on the gay marriage issue. He's a guy who can't really get things done, or he gets faux action that is meaningless. When and if that changes, then I would take another look at him.

Cute username btw.

Who cares he's a mormon?

I care that he's a gungrabbing death cultist Rino globalist.

That's Romney's problem.

That's faint praise, though.

I'd spend an hour in a burlap sack with a dozen rabid lemurs before I'd vote for Hillary.

A person religion preferences doesn't matter to me (I do draw the line on Satanic Worshippers)...

One thing that separates the moonbat left from conservatives is the fact that we tolerate religious beliefs other than those particular ones we believe for ourselves. We do not think that religion is bad no matter what its name - unless it is like the violent and radical jihadists with a goal at world domination and subjugation.

Mormons are great folks. I lived in a largely Mormon community in Idaho some years ago and emerged unscathed completely. Anyone who makes his religion an issue is revealing his/her own fear of religion.

You can't necessarily blame it on atheistic beliefs - I am an atheist and I am very tolerant about religions. Its more the left's view through the Marxist lens - "religion is the opiate of the masses" combined with their hedonistic, no values lifestyles.

It's understandable that political observers want to think Romney's religion wouldn't be a problem. He's an appealing candidate with compassionate conservative allure

Romney is a conservative? Who knew?

Romney's religion has nothing to do with his unsuitability as a candidate for president. His enthusiastic support of gun control and other leftist policies does. The job of the President is to uphold and defend the Constitution, and anyone who advocates infringing the Constitution is, by definition, unqualified for the position.

I like this Romney Joke

Mitt " As a Mormon, I believe marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman....and a woman....and a woman....and another woman."

That was funny. LOL

I would never vote for him though.

The Mormon thing is something for the talking heads and nothing more. The "doctrinal oddities" (as a strict Southern Baptist might call them) of pre-Vatican II Roman Catholicism didn't hurt JFK in the Bible Belt. He won Georgia by a bigger margin than Massachusetts.

The real question is Romney's committment to the conservative agenda. Yeah, he won Massachusetts- there's a reason for that, and it goes beyond good looks and a suave demeanor. Anyone meeting the approval of the people who have bestowed upon our nation Barney Frank, John Kerry, Michael Dukakis, Casey Weld and the entire Kennedy clan is already suspect at best.

A liberal Republican is more dangerous than a liberal Democrat.

Some of this anti-Mormonism is a fairly fuzzy sort of bias, based mostly on rumors and unfamiliarity and the vague feeling that Mormons are kind of weird.

Mormonism is weird. Google for "Kolob" for starters. (Especially enlightening if you watch either the old or new Battlestar Galactica). But it's not evil or anything (unlike Scientology), so I wouldn't have a problem voting for a Mormon.

Hopefully it would never become a hold my nose vote. I'd rather have a Rat then a Mormon RINO

I don't know too much about his politics, but his Religious beliefs would not sway my vote.

His religion isn't the issue. He can't win in the south because he is a New England liberal.

Mormons tend to get things done. Big plus in my book.
