And yet, your post refers to nothing but his faith. Honestly - were Romney the very image of Ronald Reagan, save for his Morman beliefs, would you vote for him?
Because I was responding to an initial post by somebody else that focused only on faith.

I've outlined on other threads that Romney has taken 3 positions in 13 years on forcing businesses to hire alternative sexual minorities--he now wants states to implement that; he's taken 3 positions in 5.5 years on embryonic stem cell research, including telling Katie Couric in early December that if a "parent" of an otherwise adoptable frozen embryo (he even mentions the word "adoption") wanted to "donate" the adoptable embryo to research (for dissection purposes), that would be "acceptable."
As late as half a year ago, he still would not “come clean” on what his supposed previous position was: Look at this quote from his Aug. 12, 2007 interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News: "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..."
(The problem with the common LDS approach to reality and truth is that it’s determined by pure feeling--a burning in the bosom…)
That interview, BTW, wasn’t the first time he didn’t come clean on his true position or former position.
Early 2007 on the campaign trail: "I was always for life” [Romney statement in South Carolina, Feb. 8, 2007]
May 27, 2005 after his supposed Nov, 2004 “conversion” to a pro-life position: "I am absolutely committed to my promise to maintain the status quo with regards to laws relating to abortion and choice.”
Seven years after his solidly pro-abortion positions & attending Planned Parenthood promotional events & one year before feeling out NARAL, Planned Parenthood and Majority for Choice questionnaires & trumpeting those in a press release, he said: ” I do not wish to be labeled pro-choice."

What is it about these weird “sandwiches” he throws up in between his latest position on abortion? Could you imagine Reagan doing all this kind of equivocating?
