He is as liberal as many of the rats, he is just lying to sound conservative hoping to win.

Talk about your weird organizations, how about a political party and it’s media & university members who more often than not share the views of the terrorist enemies of our nation.

It’s Romney’s constitutional right to religious freedom the Boston Herals is trying to infringe here. Seems to me we heard less about the religion of the first Moslem Congressman, although I do remember that was heralded. The fact he didn’t want to use the Bible during his swearing in was considered quite cool by the media as I recall.

There are some glaring double standards in this nation today.

I don’t care about his religion, he is from Massachusetts, and that’s bad enough.

How does a Republican get elected as Governor in a state whose registered Democratic voters out number their Republican counterparts 3 to one, and the state legislature is 85% liberal?

I believe that a Jewish Carpenter born 2000 years ago is God incarnate. It doesn’t get much weirder than that.

I comes down to faith, either you have it or you don’t.

Faith does not have to go through peer review because its a faith not a science.

Does his "religion" believe that you must submit or be killed?

Are zealots in his religion blowing up cities, flying planes into buildings, spreading terror around the world?

Until it gets to that point I could care less about his religion.

I find it strange that so many Christians are so quick to put aside their faith and claim it has no or should have no bearing on their choice for the leader of their country.

I am sorry to all those who would call me a bigot, but Romney’s faith does matter - to me. I believe in Jesus Christ and will vote with that belief guiding my decision.

I know that leaves me a devil’s bargain most of the time. But Romney’s faith is antithetical to the most basic of my beliefs and I cannot nor will not support it.

My own take on the book of Mormonisim is that it was a product of Spiritualism. Upstate New York was a hot bed of spiritualism at that time. My guess is that Joseph Smith and his friends were tipping tables and got the message. Probably from a disconnected part of his own consciousness that acted as a separate entity. I don’t think it was a very highly spiritual part of his consciousness any way (my opinion). Being simple folks they swallowed it and then when they had a hard time selling it they invented stories of angels appearing in the bed room and golden tablets being taken up into heaven etc. The wilder the story the more believable it became. I basically believe that there is a broad religion and the religions are gnerally linked through an esoteric or hidden side. I do not see this side in the Book of Mormon or in the Koran which was a channeled book also(and from a dubious source as well).

Right-wing radio hosts insist that, as president, a real Mormon would crush the constitutional powers of the U.S. Supreme Court.

I think he's alluding to the interview with Jan Mickelson in which case he tried to pack too much into one sentence. Mickelson wants a real president who would crush the constitutional powers of the U.S. Supreme Court AND questioned if he Mitt was a real Mormon for not going along with overturning Marybury v. Madison by ignoring Court rulings.
