Should American voters ask Romney and the other candidates what their philosophy of life is and what in their beliefs shapes their worldview? Also, should American voters ask the candidates about the degradation of the American culture especially among young people? I know we all have past sins, ie. Newt. However, Newt Gingrich has openly talked about his conversion to Catholicism and his reconciliation with God for his past sins. Rick Santorum openly talks about his devout Catholicism. Rick Perry is very open about his strong Christian beliefs. However, we do not hear much from Mitt Romney about his Mormon beliefs and how his Mormon beliefs shape his philosophy of life and his worldview. Should we ask Mitt Romney more questions about how the Mormon faith shapes his life?
Can you point to a single call among any sane Freepers who say that the law should be changed?
You say much to prove that you do not understand what you are talking about.
There IS no -state- test for religion. Anyone of any faith is -elibible- to run for the office. That has no bearing on what -voters- may weigh in casting their votes.
If you are serious you get an F for reading comprehension.
If you are a propaganda agent you get a D+ for only hauling in really stupid people.
Should add any faith or no faith.
As a side note I may use ANY criteria I choose to pick a candidate, that is constitutional.
All Americans have the guaranteed right to consider their personal faith, and a candidates religion, when voting, it is protected by our constitution.
Don’t try to challenge that.
“I firmly believe that the GOVERNMENT should not limit religious beliefs or that the GOVERNMENT should require a religious test for office.”
And the constitution limits the Federal Government from having a religious test. If you look up several of the state constitutions from 1776-1800 you will find that several of them had just such a religious test at the state level...remember that most of these constitutions were written be the same men that wrote the Federal constitution.
Listen you want to support Romney be my guest.
Do not try and teach people on FR about the Constitution, we know the Constitution.
You want to vote for him because he is lds, go ahead.
Do not try and tell people here on FR, that we can not choose the issues we want to choose.
Romney is a stink’n liberal BASED on his political record.
Romney’s world view is important to how he governs.
Romney’s belief system is important because it is the core of who he is. Romney believes by his own involvement in mormonISM by his own rise to power in the organization
What his belief system and world view is, it is who he is at his very essence.
Romney’s belief system as well as his governance is important.
Why you do not see that is curious.
Are you are supporter as the other 94% are, or do you actually find him a decent candidate?
You think if Republican voters dislike the anti-conservative Romney or even the Mormon cult, that people of the Mormon religion will vote Democrat?
You think the left will support them better, more represent their views, be more tolerant of them?
Well, you must just luuuuuv me to follow me all around that way!
This is a conservative site, when a romneybot liberal starts trolling the threads, she will be running into we conservatives repeatedly as we confront this pathological liar named Mitt Romney, and show the truth about him and his politics.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a Reagan/Rush conservative from way back. I’m going to do everything I can to beat Obama. But if you’d rather play witchfinder general, then knock yourself out.
Right now you are pushing the anti-Reagan, anti-conservative candidate.
I’m not pushing anything. But I can see you don’t have a cite for me on that one issue so I guess we’re done here.
I guess I hit the wrong thread a while ago, you are pimping Romney on multiple threads.
You already admit that you remember him campaigning on having left the GOP during Reagan, that he ran on this “Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.”.
Now you want to claim that you are a Reagan conservative and you want to push this anti-Reagan liberal into the White House.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Maybe go annoy someone else now.
Either way, Let's end it with a Romney compulsion to lie, story.
"Suddenly, a heavyset man wearing a bright-orange cap entered the room. “Mr. Romney,” he called out. “Eric Orff—I’m a hunter.” It was a potentially awkward moment. Earlier this year, Romney claimed that he’d “been a hunter pretty much all my life.”
A few days later, he said in a statement, “I’ve hunted small game numerous times.”
Four days after that, Romney told W. Gardner Selby, of the Austin American-Statesman, “Any description of my being a hunter is an overstatement of capability.”
Still, he couldn’t resist. “You’re a hunter?” he said to Orff. “Well, same here. Good to see ya.”
In order for him to be temple worthy he would have to.
So since Romney is temple worthy, then he does.
You're not a careful, or thoughtful reader. To reiterate from my post #37 above:
"Pointing out your religious beliefs, and voting based on them isn’t the issue. ..."

".... "...The pundits are parsing religion again. Somebody has to pose the liberals’ religious test for public office. ....
"....what infuriates [some people like] Mr. Keller ......[is the fact that] A Muslim is as qualified as a Methodist to be a federal judge if he is qualified in the law and holds only to the Constitution and shuns Islamic law. Evolution should of course be taught in the schools as a scientific theory, but not as a quasi-religious doctrine. We’re all responsible for the reputations we make, and ... we have to take the consequences. [AT THE BALLOT BOX]
"....But some of the people who imagine they’re honest skeptics only pretend their questions are about politics, when they’re really about mocking religious belief." ~ Wesley Pruden - editor emeritus of The Washington Times.
