[Bush is a Methodist. Has he done anything in his public life to help the Methodist denomination? I don’t think so. He doesn’t inject Methodism into his public life, though he does pray for guidance in his actions.
That’s the kind of attitude I think Romney takes. It’s irrational to hear the word “Mormon” and automatically think that he’ll be any different than a “Methodist” with regards to his public life.]
I will give a counter example. I helped start a Spanish language TV station with a Mormon general partner. He immediately began shoving Mormon Public Service Announcements on the air, though it was detrimental to the image of the station (in a catholic community) and cost us money. I just don’t care to take the similar chance of promoting a presidential candidate who believes the rest of us are not “True” Christians or Jews. That also puts Romney in the position of having to negate his religion in order to run for presidency - I would think less of him if he became a hypocrite and did so.
Get ready for ten years of this debate.
I sometimes think that some of these posts are written in a state of denial.
