Cut me a break! Huck was in a one party state as well . . . and Romney raised taxes . . . ah, fees. As well as implementing state funded universal healthcare and appointing homosexual activists as judges. Romney is no conservative. His economic record in particular, with the health care programs and fee increases is abysmal. Romney is just another Rockefeller Republican running to the right in the primaries. He’ll happily sign gun control legislation after the next big shooting and tut-tut while allowing the homosexual agenda proceed apace. I think McCain will fight against excessive spending and for a strong military. I don’t think Romney will fight for anything.

One the one hand, Huckabee supporters are bigots.

I doubt the sentiment you quoted is completely true. As an evangelical Christian I can assert that we do not hate Mormons, we do loathe Mormonism. That is a big difference. I hope that the Mormons' view of evangelical Christianity is similar and most do not personally hate Mike Huckabee.

You are absolutely right, however, if Mitt Romney were such a strong candidate, Mike Huckabee wouldn't be a problem.

Nope, wrong. I'm not Mormon, although, having lived in UT for almost a decade, I made lifelong friends who are.

I pretended nothing, merely, stated a suspicion...that apparently is unfounded as you seem to personally know the heart, soul and motive of the poster. How that is, I am not quite sure.

“Mormons seem to be “shocked, shocked” and offended that Baptists would use door-to-door evangelism in Utah. Apparently, caring for the eternal destiny of those who are lost is forboden, especially by future presidential candidates.”

When the Baptists came here, they thought they could provoke some kind of confrontation, or get some headlines. Instead, our church leaders advised us to be kind and friendly. To “kill them with kindness,” as it were. That’s what happened, and the Baptists left with neither converts nor headlines.

IIRC correctly, it was around that time that Jerry Falwell modified his stance from “Mormons are going to Hell,” to “Mormons are nice people. Too bad they are going to Hell.” LOL.

Count’s not that rare.

Concede this: Mormons (and other conservative voters) who know only what they see in Romney’s commercials or hear on talk radio, will vote overwhelmingly for Mitt the alleged conservative.

This is also true: Mormons (and other conservative voters) who are actually knowledgeable about his past record of support for abortion on demand, the homosexual agenda, homosexual Scoutmasters, gays in the military, gun control, and dissing Ronald Reagan, will not vote for Mitt.

I personally know at least half a dozen Mormons who (1) are very familiar with Romney’s actual record, and (2) are not voting for him. One LDS woman in my town used to be on the local Scout council and is infuriated by that issue alone (i.e., Romney’s opposition to the Boy Scout policy on homosexuals). She was tempted to vote McCain because of his military background, but ended up voting for Huckabee in the Michigan primary.

That said, Romney will win Utah overwhelmingly, and Idaho, and probably Colorado, for the simple fact that most voters — LDS or otherwise — aren’t familiar with Romney’s actual record and do know only what they hear on TV.

I disagree. I think most of the voters in Utah will have some idea of his liberal past.

They will just ignore it. They believe that he is now the ‘real deal.’

>>>you sound like a political hack working for the Hillary campaign.<<<

You Hucksters seem to be in some sort of parallel universe. I am a conservative. That is why I despise the politics of liberals like McCain and Huckabee.

>>>Too bad you can’t debate the issues.<<<

Really? I love debating issues. When you have finished dwelling on Romney’s appearance, religion and your mother’s intuition; and on the Huckster’s musical prowess, give me a try.

You’re a Mormon and a Huckabee lover? You really take loving your enemies to heart. You can bet Huckabee will never return the favor.
