It’s not a factor in my case since I wouldn’t vote for Romney, no matter what.

It has to do with wobbliness, not faith.

Wobbliness with respect to conservatism, not faith in God.

I will not participate in helping the RINOs choose another candidate. No McRomney NONE of the time.

Conservative or nothing. Third party, write in Palin, stay home. Damn the torpedoes!

We aren’t electing a pastor, we are electing a President.

As many have said about Newt, we aren’t electing a spouse.

C’mon! If Mitt saw his religion holding him back he’d instantly announce he’d suddenly had a vision and become a Lutheran!

Rick Santorum seems to be the most pious of all of the lot, and I think he would suck as a president.

He doesn’t seem to have the temperament or the tools with in himself.

No! Not much. His problem factor is that, if he is truly a conservative, one could not tell it by his past, his fli-flops, or his passion, which is missing in action.

To me, Mitt has always seemed like more of the same, go along to get along DC type we have running the Repub side in Washington. He has stated several times he could work with Dems--Oh, really? Dirty Harry? The Nan from Frisco Land? Chuckie? Pardon me if I think those remarks disqualify him from being a conservative.

Should he buy, er, get the nomination, I will once again hold my nose and vote for him. The alternative is unthinkable.

***well, yeah. If he can’t break free from a superstition as blatantly false as mormonism, how can we expect him to exercise good judgement as president? He’s as crazy as Ron Paul.

"As long as he says he's a Christian, I believe him," Moureaux said.

Does anyone have Mrs. Moureaux contact info? I know this Nigerian prince who inherited a ton of money and needs someone to help him get it out of Nigeria.

IF we set ones church as the sole standard of ability {loyality} too hold office many of our Founding Fathers would have failed it on this standard. A considerable number were not Christian nor Jewish. They were Deist. Meaning essentially they denied the Divinity of Christ and believed GOD created the heavens and earth then abandoned it. Among such was Thomas Jefferson.

I'm not against Romney because he is a Mormon. I am against him because of his liberal political history and current platform. Now knowing what we know about Thomas Jefferson would he too be disqualified based on his beliefs?

It is much wiser too attack Romney on his record and platform. I know some Mormons including a few Freepers whom I would trust as political leaders.

I think that economy is so bad, and things are so screwed up, that most don’t really care about religious ideology at this point, even in evangelical South Carolina.

As someone in another Party once said:
“IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!”
