There are a lot of problems with Mitt Romney's political history.

But as far as I can tell he has never let his Mormon beliefs become an influence on policy.

So there are valid reasons not to want him as President, but this is not one of them.

No, Romney’s “Mormon religious faith” would be a religious problem...

His political problems are as follows...

Abortion pushing platform

Pro same sex marriage

Pro “gay” rights

Gun grabber

Big government

Reagan hater

Republican hater

Illegal alien hiring

AMNESTY pusher

Man caused Global Warming

Trade with China

US military loathing

2 time draft dodger

Life long Liberal

voted Democrat

Supported and endorsed Democrats

Gave money to Planned Parenthood..

Appointed liberal judges

Thought he could buy the White House..

Not a team player..

etc

Politically the boy is toxic...

" But Romney has a political problem: his Mormon religious faith."

His bigger political problem is he's a mealy-mouthed, two-faced, two-bit lying liberal socialist/baby killing, gun-grabbing, constitution trampling RINO whore who fits better in Obama's evil Democrat party than the GOP.

Romney will be the GOP nominee over FR's dead body!!

Yeah, I know. That can be arranged.

Bring it on RINOS!!

DONT TREAD ON ME!!

Mormons might be nice folks and good business men , but they do not fit the Judo/Christian mold

While I would categorize mormon theology as unscriptural in several very important aspects (including those cited in your post), it does in many respects hold to Judeo-Christian teaching and principles. Pointing those theological differences out in this discussion only distracts from the issue of Romney and gives his defenders support for their claims that Romney's critics simply oppose him for his mormonism.

I don't care if he is mormom, unitarian, or even scientologist; if he supports Socialized Healthcare, expanding abortion rights, more restrictive gun control laws, more restrictions and regulations on business, and other anti-capitalist and anti-Liberty policies, then I oppose him for any GOP leadership position.

if a guy named Barack Obama can be elected why not a mormon
_____________________________________________________

But Obama is a mormon...

His Mo0m was dead dunked in June, 2008...

The mormonsd believe in “families fvorever” and seasli9ngs (which happened to Obama )

So Obama is a mormon...

The 1st mormon president..

He was already a mormon when he was elected...

Since the mormons have had their turn...

Why not a Hindu next time ???

I could care less if he were a Wiccan.

His being a liberal Massachusetts Governor with Romneycare is enough for me to say no.I held my nose and votee for Mccain. If the republicans make me hold my nose again I will do it from home.

What “faith” is that ???

Mitt Romney has an unwavering faith in the maxim that there is a sucker born every minute who'll buy the stuff he's shoveling.

Now your post is constructive. The rest are just acting like little children.

You are so right. He has never been a conservative and he will never get my support.
