Welcome to FreeRepublic.
More crapola from the left. I guess you now worship the leftest media.

I expected more intelligence and sincerity on this board.
No, there are thousands of current and past stake presidents. He does not speak for the church. That being said, I don’t take issue with anything he has said.
The anti Romney people here just can’t let it go.
It’s a good thing Romney’s out. Now we have Huckabee, a “true” evangelical to vote for. Not a phony bone in his body. Go Huck!
From the article, this sums up Romney very well;
“Rather than the individual little comments that may have startled Mormons, I think what troubled [fellow LDS members] was a sense that he was pandering,” says Bushman.”
It is easy to see that this article is purely a fabrication in the mind of the reporter. It shows no attempt to ascertain the facts from a credible source.
Bingo!!! I agreed
At least Romney was telling the TRUTH.
I voted for him as well as the rest of my family about 30, not because he is a Mormon or a Christian but because he is a moral well qualified individual.
“At least Romney was telling the TRUTH.”
About what?
What?
Okay, you’re not welcomed. Is that better?
1st I’ve heard of this BS — Did the writer of the article talk to more than 2 malcontents?
The article is pure bunk on this...
““How Mormons Saw Romney — In wooing evangelicals, he made some fellow LDS members uneasy”
These questions are also brought up in this 2005 article about Romney’s presidential ambitions in a Mormon magazine.

This is just another article where the author knows nothing about his subject.
What else would you expect from Newsweak?
The guy was getting 90% of the Mormon vote. Whatever problems his church had with him, it couldn’t have been too severe.
Right.
However, I spoke too soon about not consulting credible sources. Then I read the rest of the article in the link. There is no one more credible than Bushman and Oman. However, it is clear she is not listening to what they had to say.
>> Romney was a bishop and a stake president in the LDS church for 12 years. So he certainly is, or should be, a spokesman for his religion.

Isn’t there a Bishop for every congregation? I’ve read that’s more or less a lay pastor. Do you know what stake president is? That’s not a term I’ve heard.
