Myth Romney lost not because of his Mormonism but because of his Socialism.
Uh, Michael, most of us rejected him because he was too liberal.
Steele has got to go.
not mormon; moron. Typo. I fixed it for ya.
As far as I am concerned, it was Mitt’s liberal record that was deciding.
Being a Mormon was the GOOD thing about him.
i think there is some truth to this statement. some people just dont like mormons - that did not bother me just his lack of conservative creds
Remove Steele and put in Cheney. This afternoon.
A Mormon looks a whole lot better than the Muslim we now have.
Romney lost because he’s a liberal. Steele won because we have liberals in the party who wanted to elect a black man regardless of his ideology.
With me he lost because I’m not going to have a cult-member as President of the United States. I never got to the politics of it. The “cult status” was enough for me...
I would agree that Romney lost because of being a cult member.
If Romney lost because he was too liberal, then McCain won because he was too...?
He lost me when he equated his son(s?) working on his campaign to those serving in the military. It is a free country and we have a volunteer military, so no one has to serve. I was just not willing to vote for anyone for CinC that equated working on a political campaign with military service.
There may have been a few who didn’t vote for him because of his religion. But the vast majority knew he was a RINO and a bigger flip flopper than Kerry.
That was only part of it. The RINO horn had something to do with it also.
You said — i think there is some truth to this statement. some people just dont like mormons

There are a significant number of Christians who are never going to vote for a cult member. Mormonism is one of the two largest cult groups in the United States and also being “home-grown” too, so Christians do know a lot about that cult group.
Now.., they may be good citizens, as I’m sure they are, but there are enough Christians who will never have a cult member for President of the United States, for such a person to ever get elected.
If Romney makes it onto the GOP ticket the next time around, that’s only a *guarantee* that the Democrats will win.

Voting for either cult group member would not be what a good number of Christians would do.
