>>>No, Huckabee is not a socialist.<<<
You are a rare breed. Every conservative I know is convinced the Huckster is a socialist (Marxist).
>>>I don’t personally dislike Romney because he is a Mormon. But I think electing a Mormon to the office of President, legitimizes Mormonism. Mormonism is a severe distortion of true Christianity. So severe, that almost all mainstream Christian organizations consider Mormonism to not be Christian. It’s absolutely the wrong signal to send to the youth of this country. So if need be, I will vote for a democrat to keep Romney out of office.<<<
My God, you are a bigot!
Answer this: have you ever met a bad or mean Mormon (ignore Harry Reid, whom I assume you have never met, and also whom I assume is not a Mormon)? And what does Jesus say about whom to trust? Well, the devil appears in sheep’s clothing (for example, a Marxist (socialist) claiming to be a minister of Christ). The others? Ye shall know them by their fruits.
That said, how many mean Mormons have you known. None, I’ll bet. Now, how many mean “Christians” have you known? Plenty, I’ll bet.
My point is, judging a man because of his Christian denomination is venturing into hypocritical territory. Besides, it violates the very Constitution (the one I’ll bet you claim to support and defend) which forbids a religious test for public office. And, as aforementioned, it violates the teachings of Jesus Christ (remember, there was, at least, one Good Samaritan).
Yes, I've known several Mormons and I've worked with them. And they can be nice, but I've also known Mormons that lied. I knew a defense attorney here that was representing a Mormon father that raped his own daughter because she disobeyed him. That point system of yours for good works only influences surface behavior so far. But it's not about Mormon's behavior. It's about the truth of what they believe, and the impact of those beliefs, if you elect one as President.
Mormon's believe in contrast to scripture, that there are many Gods, that Jesus was a completely different God than the Father, that both the Father and Jesus started out as men who were promoted to Godhood. It's a false religion. You might as well send up a hindu, or a wiccan. None of them would get my vote.
Fortunately, McCain just took Florida. And reports are that Rudy's about to endorse McCain. At least I can vote for McCain over the Democrats. I don't suppose McCain-Feingold would be any worse on our rights than Clinton.
