Common misunderstanding. We are dealing with issues of the "two kingdoms" here. You need to educate yourself a bit on the relationship between the two.

Luther summed it up nicely despite his antipathy for moslems-- he said he would rather the governed by a "wise Turk" than a "foolish Christian."

I don't want to see Romney either but I'll take him over Obama any day.

This is a silly issue because the quote came, not from Perry, but from the minister at Perry’s church. Santorum was being extra careful about his statements, as he has been through out this campaign, in an effort to avoid the controversy that his statements about homosexuality have caused.

I am quite sure that Rick Perry, if asked directly, would not label Mitt Romney as a member of a cult.

I am really, really tired of the nonsense from the media, with all the irrelevant gotcha’ questions and articles. I did finally see one negative Romney article that claimed that Romney was a secret Keynesian.

Don’t know about the Baptists, but the Catholic Church does not recognize Mormon baptisms, because they don’t have the same understanding of the Trinity as Christians.

“Perry told a reporter in Iowa that he did not agree with Jeffress.”.......

“At an event in Iowa later Friday, Perry was asked if he believes Mormonism is a cult. “No,” Perry said.”....

All the candidates are being asked if they think Romney’s religion is a cult. All have been “nice-nice” about it.

However, when the same MSM asked the candidates about the painted rock, none defended Rick Perry against the smear that he’s a racist (if one did, I apologize for the omission as I’m not aware of one).

So Romney must be cradled and loved and Perry must be assumed guilty by the others and made to be evil — and the headline writers are still running with it.

Be not afraid that will not be the choice that we have.

“I’d say let’s look a lot closer at Santorum.”

How about this; on the day that Perry, a decades long supporter of Israel, who visited Israel twice, met with Netenhahu, Shimom Perez and other business and political leaders, and received the Defender of Jerusalem award made a great speech to a Jewish group in NYC, Santorum, who clearly had no clue what he was talking about, had to whine about it...

“There he is, reading a speech that I’m sure he didn’t write, and has never taken a position on any of this stuff before, and [the media is] taking this guy seriously.”

No wonder Santorum lost by 20% last time he ran.

Cite please?

Would like to see the context, if you wouldn’t mind.

Thanks.

Galatians 1:8-9

 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

 9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

I have never heard how Mormons reconcile their "religion" with the Apostle Paul.

Thanks. Except for one small thing puzzling me:

The article doesn’t actually sound anything like how you described what you described.

Quoting here:
““I’ve forgotten more about Israel than Rick Perry knows about Israel,” Santorum said during a conversation with POLITICO on Tuesday,..”

Santorum is also quoted in the article you cited:
““Good fences make good neighbors, that’s all there is to it,”

(in reference to border security)

Not really seeing anything to complain about there.

What did I miss?

What negatives does Huntsman have other than being Morman? I liked the looks of him when Huck interviewed him. Firs time I’ve seen him. He sounds conservative.

My point is that Santorum clearly had no idea of Perry’s long time, very personal commitment to the security and survival of the stae of Israel. Perry made a fine speech, calling for an end to taxpayer money for the Palistinian terror regime, and ending pressure on Israel to endanger their security. Instead of just saying “nice speech”, Santorum had to shoot his mouth of with a personal attack on Perry that had no basis in fact. He just assumed that Perry knows nothing about Isreal and someone must have written the speech for him. ““I’ve forgotten more about Israel than Rick Perry knows about Israel” . Really? He sounded like a jealous 9 year old, not a serious candidate for president.

I liked Huntsman originally, had high hopes.

Let’s just say, those high hopes turned out about as realistic as my high hopes for Palin.

Let someone else fill in the details. I’ll probably get criticized, just for having high hopes for the guy originally.

Don’t think he has a whole large fan base here.

Sounds like the sort of thing sometimes called “competing”.

Given the circumstances, perhaps we should take another look at him. He looks and sounds presidential. He appears intelligent. I would like to know more about him. Apparently he did a good job in Utah as governor.

That’s my understanding.

He was I believe a competent respected Governor.

And he’s got deep pockets to run with.

So your version of competing is making up derogatory stuff about your opponent when you have no idea of it's true, and whining about how you're being mistreated. Fine. Not what I'm looking for in a president though. In fact, it reminds me of Obama.

They’re not playing patty-cake. They’re competitors. After someone wins, they’ll all sing kumbayah.

So why don’t we start talking him up and start a vetting process. With me, the Morman thing is not an issue. If a person operates from a moral base he shouldn’t have a problem performing as the leader of a diverse nation. I have looked at all the other candidates and I find them all wanting, and boring. I was actually impressed by this man I had not seen before. I didn’t watch any of the debates because Sarah was not in them. My focus was always on her and I am now without a candidate for which I can vote.

Huntsman would do himself a big favor, if he would get a bit more. How to say this appropriately?

Riled up.
