I don't. And it has nothing to do with his magic underpants.
Wrong -- he'd be a bad President under any circumstances as long as he holds his liberal views.
“As a born-again Christian, I cannot vote for him. As Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of a large Baptist church in Dallas, said, Mormonism is not just another denomination; it is a cult.”
Bigotry on display. My religion is better than your religion.
Pretty pathetic set of priorities.
Religious bigotry.
Whatever one thinks of Romney's Mormonism, clearly it has had no negative impact on his governing capabilities.
Romney is not a RINO because he is a Mormon. He is a RINO because he has no real commitment to the founding principles of our nation.
That's why I won't vote for him. But if he did, if he really was a fighter for core American constitutional values, I would vote for him in a second, Mormon or not.
Serious question;
What is the difference between a religion and a cult? When I think of cults I think of Jonestown or the Manson Family or the Moonies.
What is it that makes mormonism like these groups? Thank you.
Don;t worry about it. The Mormonism thing is one of those thing where people with discernment understand the point, those without it don’t.
We’ve had plenty of heretic presidents.
You mean, under circumstances in which he wasn't a liberal Yankee goofball who would change his mind about his own name for a vote? What alternative universe would that be?
Just vote for the Democrat, honey.
It is not bigotry to call Mormonism a cult, Mormonism teaches another Jesus. Paul warned against this and is it just a coincident that it was an angel who revealed everything to JS? Did not Paul warn that ever if an angel came with a different Jesus not to believe them?
I’m Jewish and I think all of Christianity is a cult. However, I can vote for people who identify themselves as Christians.
I’m a Catholic and I’d be very reluctant to vote for a Mormon president (they always show up at the door trying to “convert” Catholics - and in fact, in Catholic countries, they are told to lie about their beliefs so they seem like just some ordinary kind of Christian group inviting people to meetings).
That said, his biggest problem is that he is a raving statist. But I think that’s typical of Mormonism, which was conceived as a theocracy where Joseph Smith and Brigham Young and their successors would rule everything, and in fact it took the US Cavalry to make them back down. Utah was not allowed to join the Union until the Mormons agreed to accept American law, particularly regarding polygamy.
I wouldnt vote for Romney even if he wasnt a Mormon..
Mormons have little tails, too. About a foot long.
FORKED tails. I’ll bet you didn’t know that.
Now If I knew Mitt Romney personally I might like him but I believe there are no circumstances under which he be a fine president. He is nothing more than a butt boy for the Northeast, moneyed, progressive, country club establishment Republicans who are Republicans only because their families have always been Republicans. These type need to be removed from influence in both the Republican Party and the country as a whole.
From the Urban Dictionary:
Butt boy: A servile underling. Especially one who is also a sycophant. A suck up or brown-noser. Synonomous with "toadie" or "stooge." A butt boy does his Master's dirty work.
There are many reasons why I cannot vote for Romney. His religion is not one of them.
“As Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of a large Baptist church in Dallas, said, Mormonism is not just another denomination; it is a cult.”
I think Jefress is kind of loony, but not for what he said about the LDS. I wouldn’t have used “cult” because I don’t think it applies today to the LDS how the word is usually used, but whatever. He was smeared by the media. Former drug zsar Bennett made a big deal about it. Jeffress also said he would vote for Romney if he unfortunately gets the nomination.
