None of them...

But thats what you knew I would say...


Actually, I didn't. Maybe I should have said "Who would you vote for."

I like Palin and Bachmann, even though Santorum's faith is closest to my own. Last time it was Brownback.

It's easy to write off Romney, even if he weren't a Mormon. But in practice, Mike Lee's voting record would probably be more conservative than most of the self-proclaimed evangelicals and Catholics in Congress. So what do we do when those who profess Christ and yet vote to fund Planned Parenthood runs against a truly pro-life Mormon?

If you decide to sit out any election that doesn't have a true Christian in it, or vote third party when possible, it is tantamount to an admission that true reform will not come from the political process any time soon.

That's actually a defensible position. If pro-abort/deviant loving phony Giuliani got the nomination last time, I certainly would have voted for a third party. That is not only because of Giuliani's character, but also because of how he would govern, and reshape the Republican party.

The MSM media (Salon, I think) is trying to drive a wedge between Bachmann and Catholics, because she's a Wisconsin synod Lutheran, and backs some of the more severe things that Luther said about the Pope. Nonetheless, I believe that her Christian/conservative worldview would make her serve my living my faith better than a Giuliani or a Kennedy. I will say that the one thing about Mormonism that really concerns me is the notion of a continually unfolding revelation where God in essence can change His mind. That stuff is more dangerous because it potentially gives one license to do anything. Romney seems to live it every day, the way he changes his positions without blinking.

If a conservative Christian makes a political alliance with a Mormon, Orthodox Jew, Hindu or Buddhist, it is not an endorsement of that faith any more than St. Paul being a Roman citizen meant he endorsed the worship of pagan deities, an official part of the Roman state, and partially paid for with the coin of the tax that Our Lord said should be rendered to Caesar.

Anyway, this time around, all of the Mormons are what the MSM calls "moderarte" which translates into liberal. Romney isn't even pretending to be conservative any more, so conservative Mormons, Evangelicals, mainstream Protestants, Jews etc. should be able to unite on a candidate for the most part.

At this time in 2007 I had already chosen Rep Duncan hunter...

There were rumblings about FRed who I felt would actually be the winner if he really did run

FRed had been coming into our area for private $1000 and $2000 etc receptions already and we were waiting for him to declare

I was planning to vote for Duncan in the primary and FRed if he won to Nov...I had voted twice for FRed in the past..

However FRed mucked around anbd when he finally got in he didnt run the type of race he had for the Senate..

I voted for Duncan Hunter Jan 2008 on the Wednesday, the first day of TN early voting ...he dropped out on Saturday and FRed left on the following Monday...

leaving the RINO Quintulets...Romney, Guliani, McCain, Huckabee, Paul,

Assume the Mormon is lying. Sorry, been there done that, know their MO.

I WILL NEVER EVER EVER vote for a Mormon. I know too much about them. They redefine EVERYTHING in their Religion, and I’ve seen them do it in politics.

And Mormons will vote for Romney in the primary, they are conditioned to favor their own and many see this as a way to gain acceptance and converts (and they will use it that way). The leadership sees it as a way to slow down the hemorrhage of membership that is occurring and bolster their growth rate (which is currently at 0% officially and probably closer to -20% in actuality).

Mormons always have ulterior motives. I found that out the hard way, while I was training to be a Mormon missionary.
