need to realize that coming together on poltics doesn't mean we are obligated to sell out our own religious beliefs or at least water it down to the point it is indistiguishable from other religions.

Bingo

If Romney is going to have any chance of getting elected President, he will need the evangelical vote, and the evangelicals will not vote for a Mormon who is so out of touch with reality that he cannot admit the truth -- that Mormonism is not Christianity.

He will have to make that statement loud and clear for all to hear. Let's see how much he wants to be President, because stating the truth on this matter will cost him his standing among a whole lot of Mormons who are living in their delusion.

The early leaders of the mormon church had no problem saying that mormonism is not Christianity....and their President Hinckley has stated: "We don’t criticize them for what they believe. We accept the good that comes of that understanding which they have, but we feel we having something to offer beyond what they have.”

“We accept that as a statement which came to him [Joseph Smith's vision in which he was told all other religions were "abominations"], which is printed, of course, and published in his history as a statement. But we go forward with a friendly relationship, with a respect for people everywhere and with an effort to accept them as we meet them and, where opportunity exists, to talk with them and explain to them what we believe.... We don’t criticize them for what they believe. We accept the good that comes of that understanding which they have, but we feel we having something to offer beyond what they have.”
