Four in 10 Americans do not know that Mitt Romney is a Mormon.
PRINCETON, NJ -- Eighteen percent of Americans say they would not vote for a well-qualified presidential candidate who happens to be a Mormon, virtually the same as the 17% who held this attitude in 1967...
The exact percentage of Americans who resist the idea of voting for a Mormon has varied slightly over the eight times Gallup has asked the question, typically when a Mormon was running for president, including George Romney (1968 campaign), Orrin Hatch (2000 campaign), and Mitt Romney (2008 and 2012 campaigns). The percentage opposed to a Mormon president has averaged 19% since 1967 -- from a low of 17% at several points to a high of 24% in 2007. The current 18% is down from 22% a year ago.

... and the Dems are most religiously biased.
It is a LARGE enough number to explain why the
DNC and MSM FORCED Mr. RomneyCARE on the GOP.
Did no one consider this other than the Democrats?
Well qualified president?
Romney is only well qualified to be on the LIBERAL ticket.
He is a well qualified LIAR since he is on the GOP ticket.
The GOP platform is not socialistic healthcare, it is NOT same sex marriage, it is NOT abortion, etc.
HE IS A WELL QUALIFIED LIAR that can go eat dirt the he dishes out.
I wonder if the public would be surprised to learn that Mitt is the highest ranking religious figure to ever run for president, he is the equivalent of a Catholic Bishop, and serves God’s Holy Prophet.
Bishop Romney did personally excommunicate people on his own authority, and is a member of the private, secretive inner circle of the Mormon elite, the ones that those grand Temples are built for, only the elites are allowed into those buildings, about 85% of Mormons are not allowed inside them, although they paid for them.
I don’t care about his Mormonism; its Romney’s leftism that is more troubling.
“America voted for a Muslim in 2008. I suspect they would prefer a Mormon over the Muslim this time.”
I’ll fix it.
“America voted for a Muslim that they thought was a Christian in 2008. I suspect they would prefer a Mormon they think is a Christian over the Muslim they think is a Christian this time.”
No genuine Christian has ever thought that either one of them is a Christian.
“No genuine Christian has ever thought that either one of them is a Christian.”
Christians that just don’t pay attention may assume... For instance, the LDS cult uses the name Jesus Christ,
but they mean an entirely different person than Christians mean.
Good response.
Apparently there is a group here that would prefer to have 0bama continue his Socialist-Communist march to destroy America.
I fully understand and admire them for their strong stand to vote only for a Conservative candidate. I did the same thing in 2008 and wrote-in Duncan Hunter/John Bolton instead of McCain. My mistake. Sometimes you just have to hold your nose and do what is best for America.
We won’t survive another term under his rule.
I say ANYBODY BUT OBAMA!
that POS reid is a mormon, at least in name like pelosi is a catholic, and i don’t hear the libtards whining about that. maybe they only like pretend religious people or pretend religions like islam and environmental whack job movement
Its what JFK faced by other religious haters.
There’s a reason Jesus opposed the religious.
There’s also a reason he warned us to reject false teachers. You can’t expect us to disobey him. Yet it appears you are willing to judge us for precisely that.
BTW, Jesus didn’t reject religious belief. He encouraged it. What he rejected is religious hypocrisy, applying double standards, one for you and another for me. There is one standard for Christians, and that is Christ, and he warns us to reject all substitutes. If we are being consistent with his teaching, to the best of our limited ability, we are not subject to his condemnation, and certainly not yours.
He encouraged faith not religion.
I’d vote for a righteous, conservative Mormon who defended the Second Amendment and the unborn.
Mitt Romney and Barack Hussein Davis can burn in Hell.
Really? Christ didn’t teach religion? Maybe you have some special secret meaning for the word “religion,” but according to Oxford Dictionary, most of us mean this:
noun
the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods …

How is what Jesus taught not a religion. It clearly is. Now the reason I’m taking issue with you is not because I don’t understand your meaning. I do. Man makes up out his vain imagination various ways to please one or more deities, and often it is some elaborate set of motions we call rituals, and often people are so committed to those man-made concoctions that they actually refuse to become the good, loving people God wants them to be. And so they become very “religious” while remaining very bad people. That’s the religious hypocrisy Christ spoke against.
But Christ never once taught against religion per se.
To demonstrate this fully, I hereby challenge you to produce even one Scripture that suggests Christ taught against “the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God…” Certainly he did teach belief in God the Father, who is personal, and who is the ultimate “superhuman controlling power.” That is what “religion” means to most English-speaking people, my FRiend, and Christ taught it.
