From the article: ...what is interesting in much of the Fall 2011 polling is these questions are still being raised in a highly abstract voter environment. In other words, they haven't been sifted through an applied “Mitt Romney” filter. The late October Fox poll, for example, assumes that the “social views” of a Mormon candidate are “socially conservative.” Yet, Mitt Romney has come under fire for lack of exactly lack of conservativism in his social positions.

From the article: Of Romney's troubling (social) views to about one in six Evangelicals has been his waffling on protecting his pre-born neighbors. In August 2007 interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Mitt Romney responded: "I never called myself pro-choice. I never allowed myself to use the word pro-choice because I didn't FEEL I was pro-choice. I would protect the law, I said, as it was, but I wasn't pro-choice, and so..."

Yes, quite correct. Romney's political problem is not Mormonism, it is liberalism. The contrast between his alleged religion and his actual behavior is huge.

Excellent and helpful chart! Wow... talk about damning evidence...! Does anyone seriously take him seriously (forgive the redundancy) on pro-life issues, anymore?

This is who is about to get the nomination. Someone who as waffled on pretty much every major issue for Republicans — abortion, gay rights, Obamacare, entitlement reform. Its a nightmare.

Doesn’t trouble me. I refuse to vote for him.

Even if he is our only choice.

Planned Parenthood trains personnel to staff their facilities, advertises locations where willing executioners are standing by, carefully plans where best to locate their facilities, and works with the fascist democrat party propaganda machine to popularize the sacrifice of infants to the god of Secular Humanism. By definition, that is premeditated murder whether done by the machinery of the State or by a corporation. If you stand by and watch a corporation murder millions, you're no different than those who stood by and watched the Nazi machine murder millions. If you not only stand by and watch the mass murders but vote for anyone who refuses to resist and end the mass murder, you're an accessory to that murder. And that's before you even begin to consider his religion, that's just what he's willing to go along with publicly to get elected.

If you really must consider religion, then just recognize one simple fact. Anyone, candidate or not, who has gone along with mass murder in order to further their own personal goals, whether or not their religion "has an official position" on the subject, does not worship Jesus Christ and isn't a Christian no matter what they may call them self.
