So, in a race between Romney and Ron Paul, Romney only got 62% of the vote? That's not good news.
I lived in New England. It isn’t just the evangelicals. I’m about as far as you can get from evangelical and still be human and wouldn’t vote for that bas-turd on a bet.

I am evangelical and the reason for not voting for Mittens has nothing to do with his mormonism. It’s based on the fact that he flip flops more than a fish out of water.

RomneyCare = ObamaCare= AuschwitzCare = Holocaust II
Never Again is here, in my opinion, courtesy of this Regime and the US Congress. Instead of showers and a wooden bar of soap, We The People, will be given a pill and sent to a Government Hospice Center while your family members “plead for your life.” If you doubt what I’m predicting, please tell us how it differs. Ask yourself who Big Bro and Big Sis’s victims will be as they deny healthcare based on “their criteria.”
Could this be the Elitist Politician’s fix for Social Security excluding them, of course.
Evangelicals don’t much care about a candidate’s religion; they just want a president to lives and breathes conservativism. Mitt ain’t that guy. We knew that the day we learned he had to hire a coach to learn “conservative speak”. I think that was the day after he said he wanted to raise the minimum wage and conservatives freaked out. He’s clueless.
How would Southerner’s react to an honest Northern Candidate who honestly says — He isn’t much for eating grits? (instead of pretending he likes it)?
I spoke to a cousin of mine who lives in Huntsville, Alabama and he said — “Now such honesty would be refreshing.”
Are you kidding? I can hardly imagine voting for a man that thinks his destiny is to be a god on another planet.
In a nutshell, Mitt Romney is a flawed candidate with a fatal flaw, Romneycare!!! As you will clearly note, the Republican Primary voters are not listenting to a word that the Obamabot, media and pundits, including many Republican establishment type that Romney has the GOP nomination sewed up!!! This fight IMHO, will continue until at least June of this year!!!
The lamestream media is not being listed to, heeded and is now dead in the water. Obama is going down to defeat in November, big time. His “hope & change “ jive, works no more!!! The man is a disgrace to America, to his people and to himself, useless fool that he is!!!
Romney is about as much a Mormon as Nancy Pelosi is a Catholic, which is to say that he doesn't subscribe to the most basic tenets of Mormonism. But like Pelosi, Romney manages to skate with his church's leadership on his apostasy because of his power and money.
Under no circumstances will I ever stand before my Maker and explain that I supported a cultist who directly or through his organization proclaimed that:
I can’t because he’s a liberal and a liar.
I recall clearly that when Kennedy was running for president, many expressed concerns that the Pope would soon be calling the shots for JFK.
Religion is a factor, like it or not.

You are kidding, right?!?!?! Just what ‘tenets’ does Mitt not subcribe to according to you?
Because the opposite is true, Mitt is a dyed in the wool, faithful, believing, practicing Mormon. He is actually the epitome of being a Mormon.
He is a liberal who lies to get what he wants BECAUSE he is a Mormon, not in spite of it. Sorry to burst your bubble.
I am not sure you know anything about mormonism to make the statement you have made.
Romney is mormonism. He is as high in the corporation as one came go without being one of the twelve.
Romney is who he is because of his mormonism not in spite of it.
There is nothing that Romney has done, or how he has governed that violate any mormonism principles.
Bears repeating...often.
I AM a Mormon. Have been for almost 72 years. I am disgusted with the General Authorities hiding under their desks with respect to Romney and Reid. Neither of them should be considered to be members in good standing for a number of positions that they have taken as politicians. So I have to disagree with your assessment. By the way, on a recent visit, I discussed the problems I have with Reid as regards his worthiness with the Home Teachers. Their response was that the entire Ward was up in arms that Reid had not already been excommunicated!!! I also think its a disgrace for Romney to use groups of missionaries and BYU students to “populate” his rallies. There is just nothing about Romney that any decent Mormon should respect. The idea that Romney is destined to be “called” to be a member of the Twelve causes me to shudder. He personifies the biblical passage: “though they draw near to me with their lips, their hearts, they are far from Me.”
I recall clearly that when Kennedy was running for president, many expressed concerns that the Pope would soon be calling the shots for JFK.

There is a huge difference between JFK and the Pope and Mitt and the LDS prophet (Thomas S. Monson atm).
The first of which, the Pope presides universally but from Europe not the Western United States. He is European and would practically be more likely to insert himself in EU politics rather than US - but that is unlikely.
The LDS prophet has insterted himself in US politics in the past - even Bob Bennet addmitted that he was ‘forcefully encouraged’ and in one case even ordered to pass legislation/earmark that would directly benefit the Mormon church. Also, being a US religion (primarily) the LDS prophet (and the Mormon church is a very political animal despite their protestation to the contrary) is more interested in US politics.
There is also a differene in how the view their heirarchy. Mormon Hierarchy and demands for obedience are absolute in Mormonism. You get out of line (like historian Grant Palmer) you are punished.
Finally, Mitt as POTUS would be used for Propaganda purposes for the LDS church to lessen the tide of those leaving (like Glenn Beck). Also, I guarantee Mitt will be held up as a fulfillment of a prophecy Smith made about his own run for POTUS in 1844 just for this purpose.
So, while tempting, the comparison between JFK and Mitt just doesn’t hold water. Mormonism and Catholicism are vastly different.
The biggest tactic Liberals use is victimization. They think making Romney a victim of his religion will get him elected.
