And yet Mormons have no problem voting for evangelical candidates. None whatsoever. Utah provided Bush his widest margin of victory in 2004.
I like what the LDS have done in supporting marriage-protection amendments. I like some of Romney's statements on same-sex marriage. I posted earlier that I believe that Mormons can govern well.
My only concerns I've come up with at this point are:
(1) I think it's better for someone who has a direct connection with the Security of the Universe in our terrorist environment--that he would be a better choice than someone whose conversing with a foreign (foreign to the Bible) god. But, of course, that's an ideal that doesn't situate itself to all elections.
(2) Just as the LDS organizers "governed well" in the administrative details the Utah Olympics, so, too, can other LDS folks when it comes to public service. (Certainly, many fine LDS are serving our country well in military, CIA, etc.) But, I just know that an LDS prez would be dealt with the same way the LDS "used" the Olympics: Proselytizing/P.R. for the church itself. Souls would be captured to the LDSism for eternity.
Is that not a reality--even if some folks think that it's not enough of a reality to keep them from voting for someone like Romney?
"And yet Mormons have no problem voting for evangelical candidates."
Point well made, thank you!
Those who oppose Romney because of his religion will surely hand the Whitehouse to Hillary, not to mention our remaining freedoms. He is a good man and a faithful husband/father and I think he would be a great president. All we have to do is get him to start voting against gun control.
Nixon was a Quaker and we all didn't end up wearing those funny looking big-buckled shoes and goofy hats. Let's give Romney a chance.
