It’s funny that people are so concerned with whether Mitt Romney is a Christian, that they seem to forget that he is not a Conservative.

I can remember both at the same time.

How about a source for that information? I am one of the majority of conservatives who are able to multi-task.

Actually, that works hand-in-hand. It's because Romney is a Mormon leader in a spiritual line full of waffling social & theological flip-floppers that Romney is such a socio-political waffling flip-flopper!

I mean what if we had such a waffling "Evangelical" flip-flopper candidate on social issues?

(a) Evangelicals were over 1/3rd of ALL VOTERS who cast ballots in 2010!
(b) In this scenario, would Evangelicals turn around & vote for such a waffling flip-flopper on social issues by a margin of 94-6 % -- as Mormons did for Romney in '08 in the states of Utah & Nevada (& probably elsewhere)?

By all means, I 100% support the right of Mormon voters to take religion into consideration in their voting choices. (We do live in a Free Republic, after all)

But...
(a)...don't do this two-step, two-face maneuver -- and then scold others to "keep religion out of politics" -- when Mormon voters show the exact opposite!!!!!
and (b)...don't tell us that Mormons are so "conservative" politically. 'Cause when it came to the '08 choice, they bucked national trends of voters basing votes upon the issues, per the Feb '08 Salt Lake Trib, and based their vote upon "personal qualities" -- Mormon talk for "he's a fellow Mormon."

It showed the nation that Mormon voters put identity politics first. Not conservatism. Not conservative social issues.

Hence, no wonder BYU invited Harry Reid to an all-student, all-staff forum 5 years ago this month! And he was warmly rec'd there!

A CINO (Conservative in Name Only) wouldn't get 94% of the Evangelical vote -- unlike how Romney faired among Mormons.

[Documentation to all of the above available]

And 'what people' would that be?

Heck; what PERSON would that be?
