Why is Romney’s faith an issue, but Harry Reid’s faith isn’t? How about judging a man on his values, his voting record, or his past behavior as a Congressman?

Instead of being a bigot, get over the fact that you don’t worship the same as he does. Most people do not have the balls to whine about Congressmen who are athiest, Budhist, Muslim, Jewish, Luthern, Baptist or Wiccian. But because LDS members chose not to make a big scene; people like you pile on. Please read the 1st amendment, get over the fact that you are a bigot; and make your vote based upon the candidates political views.

Whom you vote for is your business; how Romney choses to worship is his.

I have no problem with anybodies faith, in strict adherence to the no religious test phrase in the Constitution. The problem lies with his turning LDS church apparatus into a instrument of his campaign. This violates the spirit of the 1st Amendment. Your criticism of my post indicates you glossed over this issue and twisted it falsely into a criticism of LDS.

If a Lutheran or Baptist usurped the resources of those churches to advance his campaign the same cultism applies.

Willard’s actions in intermingling his religion with his political ambitions will cost him votes and rightly so. The fact that he has shunned his given name in favor of Mitt is disrespectful of his parents who picked Willard. I thought the Mormons were into the veneration of ancestors. Wallowing Willard is a terribly flawed candidate not to be trusted by the body politic. His Mormonism is the least of it.
