As a Christian, I think I'd be more comfortable voting for Romney than for somebody from some Independent Christian denomination, or for a Baptist or a Roman Catholic....

I like Romney muy mucho. Especially because he has a strong Christian Faith.

[GulfBreeze]

Just what we need... A repeat of JFK.

[ejonesie22]

Ok..

[pissant]

As an avid Catholic, I’d have no problem voting for a mormon. Can’t vote for a flip flopping phony though.

Hello Hillary, Hey Giuliani
Here I am with President Romney
How he won this was a riot
Newsweek caught you two in bathrobes at the Hyatt

Mitt says our land needs reformin'
'Cause it's not completely Mormon
So protesters must speak softly
And the War on Drugs now targets tea and coffee

For his talks with dignitaries
Mitt just sends the missionaries
And state dinners - gee, they're mellow
All the heads of state bring casserole and Jell-o

Heads on Rushmore - you would dig 'em
Mitt just sculpted Brother Brigham
And the anthem needed switchin'
So it's now "I Hope They Call Me on a Mission"

Oh my word
He got elected
Oh my gosh
How unexpected
'Cause he's quite
Distinctly male and white
Despite
His V.P. Gladys Knight

Oh my heck
The far right trounces
Mormon lives
So Mitt renounces
Plural wives
But deep down they're OK
As long as none are gay

Now I don't know where we're headin'
But it might be Armageddon
So you sinners better move it
'Cause we're in the latter days and Mitt will prove it

I must meet the Elders' Quorum
At the White House here in Orem
So I'll run now - this is awesome
We'll be swearing in Chief Justice Donny Osmond!

Okay so he’s established that he’s willing to disobey his religious beliefs in the interest of political expediency. This makes me want to trust him to run the country WHY?

Sorry, but I do not trust ayone who refuses to stand for the things he ostensibly believes in. If he doesn’t vote his religious convictions, how can he be trusted?

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

His staffers thought it was so good that they posted it on a YouTube page (youtube.com/watch?v=-G9hydflwEQ). Campaign spokesman Kevin Madden tells me that "it shows Governor Romney at his best: tough, passionate, confident in his convictions and engaging. It could be titled MittTV Unplugged." Madden adds that the reaction has been good so far.

It was good. The best part is that it backfired on the snakehandling bigots.

Mitt Does JFK

An unfortunate headline.

Mark Twain: American humorist.

All men have heard of the Mormon Bible, but few except the “elect” have seen it, or, at least, taken the trouble to read it. I brought away a copy from Salt Lake. The book is a curiosity to me, it is such a pretentious affair, and yet so “slow,” so sleepy; such an insipid mess of inspiration. It is chloroform in print. If Joseph Smith composed this book, the act was a miracle—keeping awake while he did it was, at any rate. If he, according to tradition, merely translated it from certain ancient and mysteriously-engraved plates of copper, which he declares he found under a stone, in an out-of-the-way locality, the work of translating was equally a miracle, for the same reason.

The book seems to be merely a prosy detail of imaginary history, with the Old Testament for a model; followed by a tedious plagiarism of the New Testament. The author labored to give his words and phrases the quaint, old-fashioned sound and structure of our King James’s translation of the Scriptures; and the result is a mongrel—half modern glibness, and half ancient simplicity and gravity. The latter is awkward and constrained; the former natural, but grotesque by the contrast. Whenever he found his speech growing too modern—which was about every sentence or two—he ladled in a few such Scriptural phrases as “exceeding sore,” “and it came to pass,” etc., and made things satisfactory again. “And it came to pass” was his pet. If he had left that out, his Bible would have been only a pamphlet.

For example, he noted that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints doesn't approve of booze and that he doesn't drink.

John 2

 

 1.  On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there,
 2.  and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
 3.  When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."
 4.  "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My time has not yet come."
 5.  His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
 6.  Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
 7.  Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.
 8.  Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."   They did so,
 9.  and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
 10.  and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."
 11.  This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

[Iowegian]

Strong faith? How can that be, when he says to him it (his faith) is irrelevant?

[Badeye]

I don’t see why, or how, a person’s religious beliefs have anything to do with the job in the first place.

[.. Mitt Does JFK .. ]

Come on Romney is not that stupid..

As a Christian, I think I'd be more comfortable voting for Romney than for somebody from some Independent Christian denomination, or for a Baptist or a Roman Catholic.... I like Romney muy mucho. Especially because he has a strong Christian Faith.

As a Christian, you're opposed to voting for most Christians, but you'll vote for a Mormon because he's so Christian??

Yikes.
