I appreciate your sanctimonious efforts to save Free Republic from itself.
The “Christians” you speak of are adherents to the founding principles of Free Republic. They are the last vestiges of true conservatism on Free Republic. They will not support a stealth liberal like Romney.
Thank G*d for their courage.

To elect a Mormon to the American presidency would, to my mind, be a disaster. It would not only spur Mormon recruitment efforts in numerous ways, it would mainstreamize the religion in a way that would deeply confuse the American public about the central doctrine of the Christian faith. It would give the public the idea that Mormons are Christian (an all-too-frequent misunderstanding as it is) and that polytheism is somehow compatible with Christianity. In other words, it would deal a huge blow to the American public’s already shaky understanding of what Christianity is. That means it would massively compromise a fundamental value on the scale of the abortion issue. Faced with the choice of voting for a pro-life polytheist-claiming-to-be-Christian or a pro-abortion whatever, I might well choose to simply sit out that race and refrain from voting for either candidate, because voting either way would mean doing massive damage to America. --Jimmy AkinAnd from Stephen Stone:
As far as Mitt is concerned, I would say he appears to have bought into the [Mormon] culture. Is he a Christian, nonetheless, as he claims? That's, of course, for the Judge of All to determine — but it hinges on Mitt's commitment to biblically-sound teachings above the traditions and cultural notions of the LDS church. Can Mitt make such an orthodox commitment, being a seemingly-acculturated LDS member? Christian voters this election would like to know — especially those troubled by Mitt's classic "Mormon" words when he said he'd "sustain and support" Roe v. Wade several years ago as the law of the land. "Sustain and support"? That's a phrase used by Mormons when they vote routinely in church settings to retain authoritarian church leaders no matter their worthiness. Talk about being acculturated. --Stephen StoneComparing Mormonism
