When worn with a button up, or even a pull over shirt, it simply looks like a T-Shirt underneath.
Many people wear white t-shirts underneath their normal shirts, and unless someone wants to make his religion an issue, it should not matter.
And, in fact, IMHO, it really shouldn’t be an issue. What are his stances on the issues, how firm is he in those stances, what is his record...those are the real issues. That’s why, here in Idaho, and particularly because of those last two questions (how firm he is, and his past record) I will be voting for Rick Santorum or Newt over Romney...not because of his underclothes.
Now, if he happens to be the nominee against Obama, I will support him against the abject marxist...but am doing all I can to try and keep that from happening.
And I say that as an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“Many people wear white t-shirts underneath their normal shirts, and unless someone wants to make his religion an issue, it should not matter.”
With all due respect, Jeff, don’t you think Obama and the rats will make his religion an issue?
Since Obama cannot run on his record, word is he will pull out the race card big time.
‘Until 1978, the LDS church banned men of African descent from its priesthood, a position open to nearly all Mormon males and the gateway to sacramental and leadership roles. The church had also barred black men and women from temple ceremonies that promised access in the afterlife to the highest heaven.’

It should, especially when Romney claims to be part of the "true church" and the world over knows that Jesus never mentioned magical underwear as being important to the life of a believer. In fact, the world over knows this is just a cult practice and makes Romney look nuts.
And if a president is going to wear magical underwear, he might as well wear a metal hat to protect himself from those evil alien scanning rays.
On the bright side, the more Romney is in the news, the more he exposes the silliness of Mormonism.
It will be nice to see some mindless mormon zombies wake up and research the difference between the bible and the mormon bibles and how they contradict each other.
I’m with you Jeff.
I got ten issues against Mitt before I ever think about his religion and even then it’s not a consideration as to my objection of his as a candidate.
Being LDS ain’t a problem.
Being a multiple choice candidate who stands for nothing more than himself is the problem.
A cult leader wearing magical garments hidden under his clothes, and wearing them for a mandatory 24 yours a day is a big revelation to many Americans who are trying to evaluate whether they should choose him to lead our nation, and who thought that he was merely a guy who happened to be born into a Mormon family.
That leads to learning that he is a Bishop, and is a powerful figure in that religion, and then they find out that he had a private meeting with his “Prophet” before he would run for President.
The more we learn about Romney and his unique religion, the more bizarre and alien he seems.
What about any VOWS and/or COVENANTS he has made in the TEMPLE®?
Would THEY be an 'issue' that should matter?
Is Mitt a Man of his Word?
Do YOU have a Temple Recommend?
Are YOU wearing the 'garment' right now?
Do YOU abstain from eating MEAT during warm weather?
WAKE UP AND LEARN THE ENEMY PEOPLE. Anyone in here besides me ever hear of a church called United Church of Christ? Anyone ever heard of Americans for Separation of Church and State? Anyone know the common connection between them?
The Founding Fathers of our nation weren't saints. Nor were a significant number even Christian as they denied the Divinity of Jesus Christ. They believed GOD created the heavens and the earth then abandoned it. Among them was Thomas Jefferson. Go ahead to the web search on the Jefferson Bible. It is the worse butchering of The Holy Bible in existence and Jefferson was the editor. Modern day Unitarians use it. Within that church as well you will find the ultra liberal. They still use The Jefferson but reject his political stands.
The Founding Fathers did believe in GOD not all were Deist nor all Christians. But they did come together in love of this nation too form a government where any person was free too worship GOD as he pleased and conscience allowed. So would Jefferson be rejected today?
Mitt Romney will never get my vote. Not because he is a Mormon. I don't care as that as between him and GOD. I am against Romney based 100% on his record while in office.
Too those using the fact Romney is LDS as a means to attack him you are winning Romney's election for him. Debate his political stands. If he beats his wife, cheats, etc debate that as that is character issues.
I don't agree with the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church but I have voted for Keyes many times. Why? Because of where he stood on important issues and his own character.
Get over The Mormon attacks people. You strain at them and persecute them while real enemies are attacking this nation using The Lord's Name in their church. I have not known one LDS yet whom I would not want as a neighbor. I have some family {cousins} that are LDS as well as Roman Catholics and Baptist.
I believe Freepers like Jeff are Patriots and I know from his history Jeff has taken some very tough stands against tyranny some newbee's in here never knew happened. The man loves his LORD, he loves this nation, and I think some need to grow up and center their energy on the real enemies seeking to destroy this nation.
Right now I would vote for a Deist like Jefferson over anyone running in both parties. I would vote for a member of LDS IF a true conservative one was in the running. But these senseless multiple threads day after day of bashing LDS are childish. Grow up people. When it hits the fan a LDS member may be the one who gives you food or protects your back.
