The huge problem with Romney being a Mormon is that almost all Christian Conservatives who are familiar with Mormon doctrine will NEVER vote for a Mormon regardless of how well he/she can deliver a speech. Of course this is simply my opinion.

I wouldn’t necessarily constrain that to “Christian Conservatives”. ANY Christian who took a good, deep look at the foundations and doctrine of the Mormon church would walk away wondering why this cult is given any creedence whatsoever in the minds of intelligent, thinking people.

I’m a Christian Conservative and would vote for a Mormon before I voted for a pro-gay, pro-gun control, pro-abortion, Republican candidate.

And yes, I’m VERY well acquainted with the Mormon faith.

Well, there are “Christian” Conservative bigots, too, you know.

I am a Christian Conservative and don't care about Romney's Mormonism. I don't care about Rudy's Catholicism either.

What I care about is their positions on the issues and how they have behaved in the past to prove they actually hold the positions they claim to hold.

You know, I don’t know conservative Christians in real life who express that opinion, I only see it on the net.

I wonder if they feel the same way about Jews and Catholics.

Do the polling companies and political scientists who study these things make a differentiation between Christian Conservatives and Mormon Conservatives? If not, then when someone talks about Christian Conservatives in a political sense, they're including Mormon Conservatives.

How this would affect support for Romney is unclear.

“almost all Christian Conservatives who are familiar with Mormon doctrine will NEVER vote for a Mormon regardless of how well he/she can deliver a speech.”

I am a Christian Conservative and I believe that the Mormon faith is ridculous on it’s face. I mean the guy looked in a HAT? Their religion is based on a badly done con game?

HOWEVER; we are not choosing a national religion. We are picking a President. My vote for Mitt or anyone else will be based on what I believe that persons’ abilities to lead are, not what religion they believe in, no matter how wacky I personally believe it to be.
