Will there be a Catholic/Mormon Evangelical Connection for the 2012 elections?

In the Republican primaries, one by one an excellent slate of pretenders fell to blunders and/or well-funded partisan attacks. Money created the dominance of Mitt Romney over Rick Santorum. Rick stayed in the race in spite of being outspent 8 to 1. This GOP primary revealed the spread of preferences in Republican ranks, from RINO to Tea Party. That’s good if the Party has sense enough to use its best weapons.

Missing so far is a strong Hispanic presence that is available – over 63% refer to themselves as conservative or moderate. In the 2010 elections the day was carried by the Conservative/TP wing. They would not compromise with the Party’s compromisers who might yet get it.

I’ve always admired Mitt for his business acumen – especially bailing out the ineptly run Salt Lake City Olympics, generating the only profitable Olympics in history. I’ve been on the short end of business restructuring before. Necessary measures can’t be held against him. We only personally grow under challenge or duress, so I’m sure many of Mitt’s “rejects” learned from the experience. We’ll only hear about the whiners. The learners give us another sword to wield.

I supported Santorum to the end. When fellow devout Catholics, Attorney/Writer Michael Gaynor and Congressman Paul Ryan came out for Mitt, I was disappointed but not surprised given the economic solutions so badly needed.

Ryan also confides in Cardinal Tim Dolan of NY, both out of Milwaukee. I have copies of letter exchanges between Congressman Ryan and Cardinal Dolan re the Ryan...

Given the liberalness of Romney and the Zimmerman case, I see a plot whereby the GOP-E is going to be ambushed.

Romney is going to be portrayed as pro-slavery white GOP conservative CEO, while anybody with a gun will be attacked by Romney in order to placate the perception that whoever has a gun in self defense must be a white retard of embarassment.

Romney is going to be a disaster. This is all being shaped to be that even if a black kills in self defense another black, Romney and the liberals will be placated into calling the one with the gun as white racist.

And this is the same people who want to keep disarmed black people on a plantation treatment who will call us racist and having caused slavery.

This is a really sick convoluted rhetoric, but it is amazing no one has yet caught on it.

Given how antigun Romney has been, I frankly do not think he will win, because liberals will keep screaming to unions that he is antigun and they will scream to jews and blacks he is an evil CEO antisemite converting jews after they die etc.. watch it.

Romney is DOA.

The Book of Mormon, their Doctrine & Covenants, and lots of their General Authorities and Apostles, all refer to the Catholic Church as “the great and abominable church”, “the whore of Babylon”, and other endearing descriptions.

Since all Christian sects are heretical in the eyes of the church of Joseph Smith (Protestant denominations are “the lewd daughters” of the church of Rome) and since all this information is easily accessed online, it’s going to be Katy-bar-the-door whenever Romney starts to talk about coalition building among churches.

Count on it.

"I'm not a mormon but"

I hadn't heard that phrase before, so I googled it.

The question is whether Catholics will join evangelicals in heavily voting conservative - though this is a weak “conservative” - contrary to their normal bent.

As far as the religious aspect is involved, evangelicals see Mormonism as being more like Catholicism as both effectively operate out of sola ecclesia, the church being the supreme authority, though Santorum sounded more evangelical in upholding the Bible as the moral authority, but seemed to lack some maturity, while Romney wants to avoid religion.

But i think the country has turned the corner of no return, the last election evidencing that, and the focus must be as it always should be, that of the born again church as the body of Christ being the alternative to the world, not being like it, which is were overall it is headed. http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/RevealingStatistics.html
