Perry Supporter Calls Mormonism a “Cult”
Time ^ | October 7, 2011 | Michael Crowley

Rick Perry just gave a well received speech Here at the annual Values Voters summit in Washington, D.C.–though not flawless, the Texas governor is a lot sharper when he’s in control, not under fire in a debate setting. But the Texas pastor who introduced Perry has unexpectedly opened the door to a sensitive issue barely discussed in this primary so far: Mitt Romney’s faith.

....whether he had in fact been referring to Romney and Mormonism, Jeffers said he had. “Mormonism is a cult,” he said cheerfully, before rephrasing his onstage statement in a more explicit way: The choice, he said, is between a born again Christian and “a good moral person who is part of a cult.”

....A Perry campaign spokesman responded to a request for a comment by merely saying, “The Governor does not believe Mormonism is a cult.”

Oh gee...Jeffers has stolen a march on the media by playing the mormon card in the primary campaign instead of waiting until Romney had been forced on conservatives and could have mormonism's racist past exposed during the general.

Additionally, Romney has been playing his usual dirty tricks and probably had something in mind as far as playing the card himself.

Cain's ascendancy must be giving Mitt night sweats!

Inside most preachers is a politician fighting to get out.

The Rev. Hagee, if he was there, may be happy that he is not Catholic.

Nothing wrong about that remark.

Mormonism is a cult!

You call Mormonism a cult too, and so does this Pastor. Both of you use public settings to do so. His on the Values Voters Summit on stage in front of thousands. You do it here in front of thousands.

So what's the difference?

But it was heartening to hear that Gov. Perry acknowledges he does not think Mormonism is a cult. I bet he doesn't have that Pastor introduce him again.

This is so stupid. If it gets to the point where a candidate has to be responsibile for their supporters and what they say our country is done, finished.

That is really reaching. I doubt if every person that supported Palin is a perfect person.

Every thing about the Perry campaign stinks of racism.

Cain is a born again Baptist.

The world is topsy-turvy. Since when is calling an organization a cult worse than actually belonging to one?

conservatives and could have mormonism’s racist past exposed during the general.

Conservative/ born again Christian folowers of Jesus Christ consider Mormonism a cult - likewise, Jehovah Witnesses, Seventh Day Advantists and others who do not claim Christ as Savior and part of the Trinity. There is only one way to God and salvation and that is through Jesus Christ. That’s what we believe and why we consider them cults. The book Kingdom of the Cults describes these cults and explains better than I.

Although no one asked Perry, it would be helpful for the voter if he would also give his opinion on the nature of Islam.

I don’t think he will do that unless forced to.
