Exactly. The Christians I know have no problem with his religion. It’s his faux-RINO ways, plain and simple.

This is NOT a flame or troll-bait. But for my benefit as a non-Christian, and in those terms explain to me why once one has accepted that prophecy is possible after the end of the Old Testament (and for me that is hypothetical), why would it stop at Jesus?

If it keeps going, what would mean it couldn't continue to Mo-hammed, or Joe Smith?

He is casting himself as a social conservative

That's just socialist speak for attempting to appear conservative while holding at least some socialist ideals. Duncan Hunter doesn't need to pretend to be a conservative. He is a Conservative period.

It could go smoothly or not so smoothly. It depends on how the GOP, Romney, his campaign, and how his family handles and reacts to it all, IF he gets the nomination. Obviously, the wierdoes will come out, and even legitimate rational people will come out with opposition. The Dems will have to take advantage of some of that.

What is intriguing is pitting the Romney Family against Klinton. Klinton really doesn’t have a family. America would see two very different families. This is something the GOP is going to consider IF, for example, it comes down to Romney and Rudy. My fear is that the GOP will be so scared of Klinton that it will choose Rudy.

The way I sees it, his Mormonism is his second religion, his first religion is flipfloppertarianism and THAT is the religion I have big problem with.

I will not vote for a cult member to be the leader of the most powerful nation on earth. I will vote for whoever the opposition candidate is if this cultist gets on the ballot.

“is his Mormon faith. Not only do many Southern Baptists regard the Mormon church as a cult,”

It is a cult..but pick your Election Day 2008 cult, Cult Romney, or cult Hitlery!!

How will this play nationally if Mitt Romney is the republican nominee?

If Romney gets the Republican nomination he has to win Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. If he wins South Carolina it will go the same way the speculation that a divorced man,(Reagan) could not win the votes of Southern Baptists. I don't know how many times the media printed that Reagan was divorced, and because he was divorced he would have a hard time winning in the South especially against a born religious Southerner named Jimmy Carter.

Once Reagan won South Carolina that speculation ceased. The same will happen for Romney if he wins South Carolina.

Southern Baptists are all sinners; but, none of them are Mormon.

“...once one has accepted that prophecy is possible after the end of the Old Testament.”

Quite a Jesuitical banana peel there, as we Catholics say.

The advent, ministry, and sacrifice of Jesus was the fulfillment and completion of the Old Testament prophecies which foretold the Messiah, as professed by we Christians.

The New Testament describes all of the above. After that, that’s all there is, there isn’t any more.

OBTW, for those who believe otherwise, I give you fourteen centuries of the murderous rampages of the followers of Mohammed who study the Koran.

Won’t even mention believers in the Book of Mormon. They don’t kill those who either refuse to convert or leave after converting. Everyone here says Mormons whom they know are the nicest people. I fully agree.

I am not crazy about Romney either...but compared to that worthless, filthy piece of trash Rudy G, he looks pretty good.

Wonder how Jews, Muslim and Atheists would fare [assuming practicing Catholics are considered Christians]?

You are exactly right...it has nothing to do with his religion. I think Romney is just another RINO who will change his positions as quickly as he decided to announce that he was conservative.
