Republican Mitt Romney retorted to questions about his faith by surging rival Mike Huckabee on Wednesday, declaring that "attacking someone's religion is really going too far."
In an article to be published Sunday in The New York Times, Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks, "Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?"

And Huckabee believes that murderers should go free to kill again. Wouldn’t waste a vote on either RINO.
I'd like to add Rudy to that list.
Since all are God’s children - this does not seem difficult to understand.
According to Mormon theology, God the Father lives on a planet with His spirit wives procreating spirit children who await physical bodies to inhabit. As we learned earlier, Jesus is the first son born to Elohim. God the Father had numerous other offspring, which included Lucifer. This makes him a spirit brother of Jesus and of all human beings. Mormon theologian LeGrand Richards writes, "Satan was just as much a man in the spirit world, as were those spirits who have been given bodies through birth in this world."{9}

Attacks on your long support of abortion and your support of homosexual scoutmasters on the other hand, don’t go far enough. There is no issue you can hide behind Mitt.
He's right. Whether its from candidates, the MSM or other religious types like Dobson.
Good answer even though that's exactly what Huckabee was trying to do. Either that or Huckabee is an ignoramus when it comes to issues of theology... the very thing he supposedly got his degree in. I wonder how much he really about the things he's less well schooled in.
He's right.
Does it bother you that Obama's father was a muslim and Obama attended a muslim school when he was young?
Did Huchabee say anything that is not true?
Actually, it’s just the question that’s on the mind of those who wonder about the differences between mormonism and Christianity.
It’s always just about the first thing we’re taught and the first question that comes up.
I’d say that it was a natural question for Huckabee to ask, if he’s trying to reach out a hand and cross the divide between the two religions.
Quit whining Romney. It doesn’t sound manly. Anytime the subject comes up, tell people you’ve explained yourself and your Mormonism as well as you can, and move on. Tell reporters you don’t want to get caught up in the ignorance that is coming out of some corners, and be manly. Have a hair or two out of place when you stand up for yourself. When you get really frustrated, and can’t take it anymore, stick your fist into the air, and yell, “GO FRED.”
Then it shows how worthless Huckabee's theology degree is. If it's the "first question" I'd expect a degree in theology would be useful to answer that question and that Huckabee should be instructing people in the real answer...guess not. I wonder what other things Huckabee doesn't know on topics he's less well schooled on. Sorry, after all this time, to bring up the same old canard...I don't buy the ignorance excuse.
” Either that or Huckabee is an ignoramus when it comes to issues of theology... the very thing he supposedly got his degree in.”
Are you saying that you can give us straight, clear answers to our questions about the secretive Mormon cult?
It really is unfortunate that the Huckabigots are interested only in supporting another evangelical and bashing a Mormon. If they would actually look into what these candidates have said and done they will see that Huckabee is VERY liberal on illegal immigration (despite his recent “endorsment”), VERY liberal on foreign policy, and VERY liberal on fiscal issues. Maybe the Huckabigots will wake up before they manage to nominate a candidate who is a sure loser to Hillary in the general.
Good advice. Perhaps he listens to you:
Asked if he believed Huckabee was speaking in a coded language to evangelicals, Romney praised his rival as a "good man trying to do the best he can," but he added, "I don't believe that the people of this country are going to choose a person based on their faith and what church they go to."
I’m saying the question asked by Huckabee has been answered in this very article... hell, if you don’t believe it, that’s your problem not Romney’s.
I'm not opposed to the conversation.
I want to see how Romney deals with this now, not after the nomination. The Rats will use their lackeys in the media if he gets the nomination, to raise the same questions and he better be ready. I want to see Huckabee under the lights as well and how he handles it.
Whomever the nominee is they are going to have to deal with all kinds of garbage. Let the one who handles it best emerge. If Huckabee's comments are wrong Romney should call him on it. If not Romney should be ready to explain them, or stop claiming he's a good mormon.
Mitt...Huck...enough, both of you and just be conservatives like Fred. Is that too much to ask?
