Romney's religion won't hurt him because his pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-gun beliefs will sink his candidacy first -- if he even gets reelected next year.
I would think the Mormons would be against him if he is pro-gay and pro-abortion.
You may have a point (and I am LDS myself).
For example, many of Romney's LDS admirers are unaware that he favored allowing openly gay scoutmasters serve in the Boy Scouts when that issue was before the Supreme Court a few years back.
Devout LDS voters are unlikely to support a presidential candidate who has or has had such beliefs once they are aware if it, even if that candidate has been an LDS bishop, as Romney has been. I believe it casts serious doubt on his judgment and fitness as a serious Republican candidate.
Tell this to all the freepers who would crawl over broken glass to vote for a certain pro-abortion black female who serves in G.W.'s cabinet. Perhaps if Romney weren't a white male, they'd be proclaiming he's "libertarian" on abortion and sweep it under the rug.
>> pro-gay <<
Please explain to all the gays in Massacuttes that Mitt is somehow "pro-gay". Last time I checked, there is no person they loathe MORE than Mitt Romney. Can you say "worked his butt off to thwart gay marriage"?

Again, he just needs to change his name to "Condi Rice" or "Arnold Schwarzenegger". Then droves of "conservatives" here will worship the ground he walks on. Romney is Jesse Helms compared to some candidates favored by certain "conservatives" around here.
Those views certainly should hurt him with Mormons!
