I know many LDS members who do not support Romney here in Idaho and elsewhere. He has taken positions in the past that were far too liberal and not in keeping with what most LDS support. He has given explanations for his changes...but I would prefer to see several years of clear dedication to conservative and constitutiopnal principles to ensure they are real and heart felt as opposed to politically expedient which I believe they probably are.

I was supporting Cain and feel it a tragedy for our nation that he was lynched and had a hatchet job done on him that impacted his wife and family so much he felt com[pelled to withdraw.

I like Santorum's positions...but just do not feel he has the "spark" in terms of people catching fire with him. I also like much of what Bachman says...but also feel she was somewhat disengenuous in terms of how she treated Cain and others.

I would support Perry over Romney....and, if it came to it, Romney over Huntsman.

Gingrich seems to be leading the pac and I could vote for him in the general...but I feel very cautious of him because of a number of his own position changes and other issues.

I wish Palin had run, she was my first choice.

In the end, I will vote for the GOP nominee because we simply must defeat Obama.

We will see who gets in there. Santorum or Bachman could surprise people in Iowa...we will just have to see.

...and Nick, I believe abortion should be illegal in all cases except the abject physical mortal danger to the mother's life...then the mother, father and Dr. should decide after a lot of prayer and heart felt soul searching.

Rape and incest are terrible events...and the criminals perpetrating them should be punished severely...but the baby is not one of those and is innocent and should not be given the death penalty for other's crimes.

Also, in the Prop 8 issue, I have many friends and relatives in California (my wife's family is originally from there) who are LDS and they were EXTREMELY active in that fight. We helped from here in Idaho. The church had phone lines set up doing calls.

I am sorry you did not experience it there yourself, but the Church was very active and fought hard alongside other Christians there...it was not "hype" or PR from what we saw and experienced ourselves.

And my experience in the Prop 8 fight in a high gay area was very different. Also, of the about 100 LDS I still know, all of them still support Romney. We have had some battles over it with a couple of them.

I agree with you on Cain. I will never vote for Romney or Huntsman, I don’t like Perry and I’m not fond of Newt. I would have happily voted for Palin and like Santorum pretty well. I will probably only vote for Newt to keep Romney from getting the nod.

Jeff, you misunderstood me. I know LDS fought very hard for Prop 8 and are pro-life. My point is that Romney was not in line with that.

Sorry, but the CHURCH is not CHRISTIAN. I know that you (like Normandy) try VERY hard to never mention the MORMONness of your belief, just the 'christian' trappings; but the FACTS remain.
