Romney tells conservative voters that poisonous language doesnt advance their cause ........."Perry told a reporter in Iowa that he did not agree with Jeffress.".......
Romney responds to Mormon flare-up; Perry passes ............"At an event in Iowa later Friday, Perry was asked if he believes Mormonism is a cult. "No," Perry said.".......
**********************************
2008: Herman Cain endorsed Mitt Romney:
July 2011: ......"Mr. Cain on Monday became the first of Mr. Romneys nine declared and potential nomination rivals to say publicly and explicitly something long whispered: namely, that the former Massachusetts governors Mormonism is an obstacle too big to overcome in the most solidly Republican region in the country. The South has a high concentration of evangelical Protestants, many of whom doubt the legitimacy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Romney would be a good choice, but I dont believe he can win, Mr. Cain told editors and reporters of The Washington Times.
.....his religion. It doesnt bother me, but I know it is an issue with a lot of Southerners. Source
******************
Lord love a duck.
Cain says that geographical and religious associations make one intolerant, then calls Perry "insensitive" on race and sucks up to Romney.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

Rick-
1. Grow a personality.
2. Learn that your country is being taken over by commies and government manufactured drones.
3. Not necessarily in that order.
Until such time, you ain’t goin’ nowhere.
Can you clear up this confusion?
What is Baptist definition of a Christian and ‘a cult’?
Every church, every person has to address Who is Jesus Christ? Is He Lord and Savior of your life?
Not a prayer.
I have no problem with Mormonism being called a cult as well as flat earthers being a cult. I would not elect either one of them President of the USA because what one believes affect who they are.
Per RCP, we haven’t seen a poll out of Iowa since the end of August.
While I find it odd we haven’t seen any recent polling, both polls (Ras and Magellen) had Santorum at 4%.
That’s not exactly “In Contention”.
“Santorum whos a favorite of Christian conservatives, said that he does not believe Mormonism is a cult and that Mitt Romney is a Christian.”
If he was quoted accurately, I am surprised that Santorum does not understand what Mormons believe. If Romney follows Mormon beliefs he is NOT a Christian.
His religion is not why I won’t vote for him though.
I’d say let’s look a lot closer at Santorum. He’s bright, speaks well, seems to have a lot of character, and he’s pleasant. Even a little charismatic.
We need a deeper bench now since Palin ... quit.
Mormons are not Christians but hey...it’s more then obvious the establishment and conservatives would rather lie to protect Romney then say the truth about that.
Santorum doesn’t stand a chance in hell at being elected to national office. He comes across as being FAR FAR too unlikable, on camera anyway.
Romney has a problem in this regard too. He comes across as being like that executive in the company where you work that everyone hates.
The idea of ANY politician, but especially one who wants to be President, getting into “who is a Christian” makes me want to vomit.
That having been said, making up stories about the relationship between LDS and the faith once delivered to the saints is just STUPID.
Can you post what Santorum said?
Freegards
Perhaps this is Romney’s plan to get a “Christian VP” to innoculate himself... and think he can overcome his pro-choice past by choosing a pro-life candidate...
PS - mormonism is a cult
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.
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.
Little weasel. I used to like and respect Santorum.
