Nobody can live a “perfect” life. You’re right. And, I believe that salvation can only come through the atonement of Christ, after all we can do. But keeping the commandments counts for something.

Loving the law means something keeping the commandments is impossible. Look at a woman with lust for even a second and you have committed adultery!

We’re talking about whether Fred’s past — and his wife’s — will hurt him with the electorate.

Really I thought we were talking about if a man who cheated to be trusted to keep his promises? I guess if were going to pull the 'will it hurt with the electorate' Mitts Mormonism is back on the table no?

But we shouldn’t bury our heads in the sand, and act as if he’s the Second Coming.

Never thought such a thing but in terms of issues he is the one of the only players who is not either to the left (Rudy) or a major flip flopper (Mitt)..

“keeping the commandments is impossible.”

Are you saying that, therefore, we can do anything we want, and it doesn’t really matter, if there is “deathbed repentance”?

“Really I thought we were talking about if a man who cheated to be trusted to keep his promises? I guess if were going to pull the ‘will it hurt with the electorate’ Mitts Mormonism is back on the table no?”

We are talking about basic integrity, which I think is an issue with more people than just me. Maybe I’m wrong.

Maybe Mitt’s Mormonism will turn off more people than Fred’s, and Mrs. Fred’s, amorality. I don’t know the answer to that question. Interesting turn of events, if true, for a number of reasons.

I have refrained from supporting Mitt because I was watching him in the early 90’s, and didn’t like his positions. But, you have to admit that regardless of his political positions, he has lived the most “conservative” life of any of the front runners.
