But that's the beauty of our system, we can do just that. I won't vote for him because he's Mormon. And that's my right. Shaming people for not being able to in good conscious vote for someone that belongs to what many consider a cult is hardly a valid argument.
I wouldn't vote for someone who is Islamic either - based on that fact alone.
You label something a cult merely because you've not bothered to look into it for yourself...or someone has told you to think that way. It's awfully convenient to dismiss views that challenge your own as a "cult," including that label which is so often applied to Catholics by some protestant. But that's shameful frankly. I would think in today's America we were beyond such shallow and bigotted thinking.
I guess I can understand not voting for a Muslim because they don't necessarily share our view of the world and would likely change the course of US national security policy such as in the war on terror and our relationship with Israel.
But in nearly every respect Romney is conservative, pro-American and pro-national security, so what do his personal religious beliefs have to do with how he'd govern the nation? Mormons didn't fly airplanes into buildings on 9-11, so really I cannot begin nor do I want to understand your way of "thinking." It's beneath true Christians and beneath thinking people.
You talk about Muslims, but frankly your holding a person's religion against them and viciously labelling them based on religious preference is little different than what radical Muslims do.
