Religion is a factor for several reasons.
Bishop Romney is the highest, most powerful religious leader to ever run for the presidency, he is from a family of royalty who helped create the anti-Christian cult called Mormonism.
Romney’s entire life seems to revolve around Mormonism and he has transferred 10s of millions of dollars into his cult, his father was a Bishop and also a GOP presidential candidate, an uncle, (or great uncle) was in line to become a Prophet.
Romney sought the approval of his Holy Prophet for this presidential run and it was granted, the Mormon church is coordinating a public relations effort costing millions of dollars to capitalize on this run, and to assist their golden boy (which Romney is in Mormon circles).
Many Mormons believe that Mitt could be the fulfillment of the “White horse” prophecy.
Romney himself has excommunicated Mormons, and baptized dead non-Mormons into his religion, Romney would have been teaching the inferiority of blacks until his 30s, his Mormon church issued his draft deferment themselves, there are many many relevant Mormon questions in regards to Romney.
I am familiar with all that you said, but Liberation Theology Marxism is no nirvana. I’ll take the guy in the magick undies over the Kenyan whose pastor drones on beseeching God to damn America.
And we will have either a Marxist or a Mormon in the WH after the election. Mormons wear nicer smelling sheep’s clothing than Marxists.
