Romney will eventually have to be vetted. Mormonism doesn't sit well with a lot of people and he needs to pony up. It's also high time Conservatives question him on his socialist tendencies and healthcare, also his nuanced position on abortion. If Mormonism is the catalyst for shifting focus from Perry Derangement Syndrome to legitimate vetting of Romney, so be it.

I will not vote for any Mormon. Some Mormons maybe economically sane(though I have yet to see even that), but socially and culturally, they reek of liberalism.

Not hard to see, as polygamy and sexual deviancy is one of their “proud traditions”.

We ought not let the opponents cast this as an issue of one’s faith. They will use that to make us all sound like a bunch of fanatics.

I care less about Romney’s religious faith than I do his Statist beliefs. He still has not repudiated the state-run healthcare he implemented, though he could have to help defeat Obammie the Commie’s state-run healthcare law.

He chose not to. He still defends it.

He’s a RINO.

I’m Jewish and I know little about Mormonism, but I will say this. I worked with a number of them in the Defense Dept. and in the intelligence community and of the ones with whom I associated, they were some of the most honest, patriotic trustworthy, and friendly people I’ve known.

This is not a comment on Mr. Romney or Mormonism in general, just my experience.

After we finish with the Mormon attack, do we then go after the Jews. I am not mush of those Irish people were do they fit on the list, and those Latino catholics. And those Scottish men in their dresses really bothers me. And those, and those, and those, etc, dang!, do I need the tag.

I believe in religious freedom -- I would hope you do too.

That said, there's a veritable cornucopia of issues on which to attack Romney and his liberal past be it abortion, guns, RomneyCare, etc. Religion shouldn't be one of them.

This is a media created 'controversy'. And, given that it began with a Perry supporter calling Romney's faith a 'cult', Perry supporters should condemn it also.

“Perry, who is ideologically in line with conservatives....”

Well, there is that illegal alien thing.

Basically there is more then enough to attack Romney on without even mentioning his religion. Obama would do that immediately if he’s the nominee, but we have a LOT of reasons not to vote for him. He has NO moral core, he shifts his position to whatever he thinks will give him an advantage. I’m hoping that Perry and his people don’t step into that trap. The only safe answer on a question pertaining to Romney’s faith is “I don’t answer questions on another man’s faith. If you have questions on Mormonism, I suggest you ask Mitt.”

The problem with Romney has nothing to do with his Mormonism and everything to do with his Socialism.

Unfortunately, the eneMedia will try to portray us as anti-Mormon bigots.

Mr Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who leads the Republican field of candidates for president, has never been able to shake off doubts over whether evangelical Christians would support him if he became the nation’s first Mormon nominee.

What is the most reliable block of voters for the Pubs?

If you can't get their support how do you win?

BTW, it's really not so much about the cult he is a member of as it is he's Pro-Abortion, Pro-Homosexual Agenda.

Voter anxiety on Romney's faith lifts Perry

All the way to third place after second place romney. Perry may need to rethink his strategy.

Romney’s religion does not bother me one bit.

His support of Romneycare and his flip flops on abortion are my major concrens.

A flip flopper is basically dishonest.

Honestly, I’ve never doubted that Perry would bounce back and we would have a real race, but using Romney’s religion as a wedge issue just doesn’t sit well with me. Romney’s religion, and evangelical opposition to him because of his Mormonisn, is what created the win for Huckabee in IA in ‘08.

I’d far rather the focus be on job creation, creating a climate that is conducive to taking the risk to begin and operate a business that will employ people, taxes, the debt .. anything but a candidate’s religion.

Romney’s choice of faith is irrelevant. It’s his policies that matter.

In Bible study this morning, we kind of pushed aside verses and got straight to the point. 1 in 4 Christians showed up to vote in 2008. We’ve got now, what we’ve got because of our apathy.

Christians NEED to vote, and get everyone they know to vote. I’m not telling you who to vote for, but I damn will sure be voting for a Christian. :) That would be Rick Perry.
