Answer: No. Won't elect a Scientologist or a Moonie either.
A few yrs ago, I thought he had a chance, but not anymore.
Not that Mormon.
Ya, if you don't vote for him, you hate Mormons - that's the ticket!
Maybe if he were conservative...
Better a Mormon (Romney) than a Gorgon (Clinton).
Lets try: Is America ready to elect an Massachusetts elitist pussyboy with a blow dried hairdo who will fold like a cheap suit when the political going gets tough?
NO.
opps ... I'm sorry I misread the post...
and first names to come to mind were .....
Jimmyiii Car'@ter, or Jesse Jacksoon
I like Romney where he is and was sorry to hear that he wasn't running for re-election. I'm sure that he would downplay his faith but he wouldn't have a chance to win the southern primaries. Yes, I'd vote for him over Hillary but no, it will not come to that.
Maybe if he runs against a Catholic
I don't care that he's a Mormon. I do care that he's a liberal.
Fact is, Romney is a smart, decisive, articulate, level-headed, practical-minded businessman who has repeatedly shown exceptional ability and talent in the executive arena.
It is his social conservatism that is suspect, even among Mormons (like me) who might otherwise support him. My lingering doubts about him trace to his support of gays serving as scoutmasters. Maybe he's reconsidered that position and come around to a socially conservative point of view. But I find the fact that he was ever open to the idea to be troubling.
"In Mitt Romney, the Massachusetts Governor who all but threw his hat into the 2008 presidential race yesterday, Republicans have the almost perfect candidate. Except for one potential problem: Mr Romney is a Mormon."
I didn't know he was a Mormon, nobody ever mentioned it to me in all our discussions. What a positive comment about the conservative community that we don't dwell on what brand of Christian a person is as long as positions are sound.
And if his positions are not sound then his stated religion is not a free pass.
I'd first like to know mr ronmey's position on the wearing of magical underpants.
Anyone who would base the decision on his religion is doing so against the letter and the spirit of our Constitution (which explicitly forbids a religious test for office).
Not if he's a "RINO" and a Mormon.
Mitt Romney is completely unacceptable as a GOP nominee for President...no matter what his religion.
