Correct, the Mormon Bishop was a terrible failure of a Governor, he devastated the state party, killed his chance for reelection, lost the seat to the democrats, and left office with 34% approval.
As a presidential candidate Romney has said that he won't have a Muslim in his cabinet, that is "bigotry" to you.
His religion didn’t affect how he governed. I never heard him say that he won’t have a Muslim in his cabinet.
That isn’t so, why did the Romneys come to America in 1841?
What is the Romney family relationship to Mormonism, since 1840?
You didn’t ask for a source related to the Muslim comment, why is that?
Your post doesn’t make sense. We have religious freedom in this country. You’re voting on Mormonism for the 2012 Election, which isn’t important.
Incorrect.
Romney governs they way he governs because of his mormonISM not in spite of it.
mormonISM is the core of who Romney is.
No matter the candidate their religious beliefs are who they are, people are not and have never been separated from it.
To understand the (any) candidate it IS important to know (try to understand at the least) what they beleive.
What I do not understand is why that concept is so difficult to get.
You have no proof. You’re a bigot.
No proof of what? You will have to expand your statement.
Your post made no sense, I can bring up any criteria about a candidate that I choose, even cult membership, like Bishop Romney’s.
I’m not voting based on religion.
Thank God and the constitution that you cannot make conservatives limit what we can examine in a candidate before we vote.
You’re a bigot.
Aside from your name calling, why do you think that looking at the fact that a candidate is a leader in Islam as being relevant to whether we make him leader of the conservative movement, bigoted?
He’s not a leader in Islam.
I didn’t mean Bishop Romney, he is a leader in a different cult.
Do you think it would be bigoted for us to examine or discuss a republican Islamic leader’s religion and his leadership role in it, before we make him President?
Is Romney a bigot for not wanting Muslims in his cabinet?
“As Ijaz recounted the exchange in an opinion piece in Tuesday’s Christian Science Monitor, “I asked Mr. Romney whether he would consider including qualified Americans of the Islamic faith in his Cabinet as advisers on national security matters, given his position that ‘jihadism’ is the principal foreign policy threat facing America today.
“He answered, ‘ ... based on the numbers of American Muslims [as a percentage] in our population, I cannot see that a Cabinet position would be justified. But of course, I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration,’” Ijaz wrote.
