You seem to be unaware of the Midwest Bible Belt... And the deep south.
That's the deal, right there... A 'Road to Damascus' conversion is a very common thing during election cycles. How anyone takes any polititian at his word while he is on the election stump escapes me entirely.
To accept Romney at his word would require both proof and time... Otherwise, his record must suffice.
High ranking Bishop and Stake President, Mitt Romney, is without doubt one of the most faithful and devout of Mormons, as is Harry Reid.
“We’re not electing a Pope!”
RINOmney would not qualify for pope.
... maybe Mormonic High Priest.
He is a High Bishop - are we electing one of those?
With respect: The election of a CoC is ancillary to this conversation - While it is an important principle to the DEFCONS, and should be important to any true Conservative, and any American, one cannot expect to lever SOCONS out of defending their principles using a subject matter that is not among their immovable concerns.
What is at stake here (wrt the OP) is the Judeo-Christian Ethic, and with Christianity, Pro-Life, and Pro-Marriage/Family issues taking the foreground.
P.S. I will be joining Martin Luthur in not voting for the liberal anti-Christian Romney!
Let me reiterate: Whether his Mormanism, or in spite of it, his position on Life and Marriage transmits the condition of his character sufficiently... Enough to make him a non-starter regardless of any other thing.
I know, and I agree with you, and I should have taken more time in my post to make that clear.
I do always make a point though to point out that Mitt Romney is among the most pure and devout of all of the Mormon elite and that he is a part of the religions moral leadership.
As for 99% of the rest of your thoughts - what would your rather have an abortion loving socialist that is trying to ruin all Christian churches or a Mormon?
What "conversion"? One day while preparing his campaign for the presidential nomination he suddenly switched to pro-life, with no real explanation.
Romney is the most passionate, dedicated, pro-abortion national republican we have ever known, he even puts his pro-abortion commitment date as 1963, yet we have no conversion, no journey, no self searching, no doubts, merely a bloodless, unemotional, policy switch for a different level of campaigning.
Mormon would be hard enough to swallow, to be honest, as would Catholic in most cases... But since this Mormon is an abortion-loving socialist too, the point is rendered moot.
I will certainly choose 'neither'.
Bishop Romney is a leader in a cult that wants to destroy Christianity, he loves abortion and has passionately proselytized it's benefits to America on TV, and public appearences, many here such as JR call him socialist and point out his single record in elective office as socialist and creating Romney/Obama care.
I see.
Really? I thought we have been always told he is a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, liberal- everything the LDS church has taken strong stances against. Can't have it both ways. He seems to be a 'jack Mormon' to me based on his political views. Congressman Chaffetz seems to be more of an image of what that church stands for. Strong pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, etc.
Mormonism = Plural Marriage = Polygamy
President Lincoln was disgusted by “plural marriage” and Mormonism and even signed a law to try to protect America from Mormons and their anti-Christan lifestyle. So now, most (but not all) Mormons keep their plural wives in the closet. The election of a Mormon president would provide the occasion to begin opening that closet door. If we can’t completely extinguish Mormonist perversions, let’s at least keep the closet door closed.
Yes Bishop and Stake President Mitt Romney is among the most devout and holy of Mormons, a member in such high religious standing that he is a temple Mormon, the roughly 15% of Mormons who are so pure and in such high spiritual standing that they are allowed entrance into the Holy Palaces, called Temples.
Roughly 85% of Mormons are forbidden entrance into those high holy Temples and forbidden to witness or have described their secret ceremonies, even a temple Mormon is reexamined every 2 years and required to meet the requirements of purity on a constant basis, or they are returned to the 85% of less pure Mormons.
Bishop Romney who has personally excommunicated Mormons for lack of purity, is always among the most pure, the most devout, the Temple Mormons, as is Harry Reid.
As you are trying your best to drive prejudice between Romney and others with your daily anti-Mormon spew, this article is right up your alley. Or right up your something, anyway.
You’ve become repetitive and boring. You remind me of Willie Green and his trains.
I've been told that many men have been excommunicated so that the excommunicator can take the excommunicated's wives.
You’ve been reading way too much Landover Baptist or Betty Bowers.
so who you going to vote for?
