Yes. The word of God is in both books and Mormons do not view the Bible as being subordinate.
Having stated that, it is also true that Mormons believe that certain truths that were taught in the primitive Church didn't make it into the Bible and that there are some translation problems (accidental and possibly intentional) that occurred over the century's since the books of the Bible were written. For the most part these errors are viewed to be minor in nature and any Mormon reader of the Bible will testify that God's word is found throughout the book and we are eternally grateful for those who made such great sacrifice over the century's to preserve God's word for modern man. Joseph Smith loved the Bible and said that those who read it most would love it best.

Thanks, the rest of your post I can read, but I’m not a theologian guy so most of it is wasted on me.
I still don’t see that Romney was reacting to lies, equal and superior is a little bit of hair splitting (in the context of the issue at hand).
Clearly, since it appears to many that he plagiarized it in places. LDS defenders have claimed it was prophetic, but its strains credulity that God's additional revelations would be written in King James English, some of which was clearly misworded and corrected in later editions.
I would respect Mormons and Romney more if they quit trying to equate themselves with classic Christianity and called themselves what they are, an alternate revelation which claims to be a successor to the Christianity, like Islam or Baha'i. It would be more honest. It would also get the issue largely off the table and allow the discussion to go forward on political positions, not religion.
