Obviously, most on this thread put their politics first, religion must rate far down the list of importance to them. Having a Mormon using the presidency as a bully pulpit for his Mormon beliefs does not exactly thrill me. The claims of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, et al, are absolutely heretical as far as Christian theology is concerned.
I recently heard a NPR program where they had some Mormon guy on there. NPR was really promoting his Mormon views. The liberal left likes Mormons for some reason. Some kind of new alliance with the left?
Liberals who like Mormons like them only because bigoted evangelicals detest Mormons.
And yet for the most part Mormons are more socially conservative than evangelicals.
And Mormons are arguably more practical and hard-headed on business matters. I have some doubts about Romney's social conservatism, but there is no doubt that Romney as president be more favorable toward business and free enterprise than any other potential Republican candidate currently on the popular short list.
