One thing we know for certain, based on direct observation, Romney and Huntsman are RINOS!

what does the fact of a candidate not being Christian have to do with voting for a conservative?????I would vote for a black jew in order to remove zer0bama the Marxist...

I would vote for a Mormon....

I will not vote, however, for Mitt Romney and not because of his religion...but because he is a RINO sc*mbag who was the architect of Obamacare.....he is probably the only republican I would stay home for in 2012...or at least vote third-party....

" . . . and they have been vague about their beliefs and loyalty to the LDS church."

MMmmmm. Probably because they have been out into the wider world and are not all that loyal. Call it secularization, sophistication, or agnosticism, or whatever you will. But, when was the last time you saw Romney, Huntsman, or Harry Reid coming out of an LDS church? Do they even attend? Against that backdrop, consider Obama's steady attendance at the church of Reverend Wright.

Know any candidate’s beliefs before voting for them. Duh.

What is your stand on the right to bear arms?

What is your stand on abortion?

What is your stand on socialized medicine?

Etc.

Etc.

Huntsman, Romney and Reid are all temple mormons.

There is no danger of Mormons achieving a working majority in any branch of government any time soon. I am less concerned about the upfront Mormon who practices his religion (and whose political application in the political sphere in actual law is largely decent) than in the secular atheist/humanist who doesn’t even realize of doesn’t care that he is forcing his worldview into everybody’s personal life.

It is no worse to be a polytheist than to be a pantheist, atheist or deist.

Traditionally-minded Catholics, conservative Christians of all stripes, practicing Mormons, observant Jews and non-denominational theists with a good grounding in natural law all have a deep interest in undoing the radicals who explicitly started their takeover in the 60s and are continuing it to this day.

Absolutely not.

They are polytheists and therefore CANNOT be Christian.

As I have posted here before, I once heard a Mormon elder explain that “Earth’s God” was sent here by “Twelve other gods.”

Yup. And that is why Freepers would take Bay Buchanan or Glenn Beck over "Catholic" John Kerry, "Christian" Jimmy Carter, "Jewish" Rahm Emmanuel, etc.

I also suspect that Mormon Freepers would vote Angle over Reid.

Romney and Reid, yes. They are both ‘active’ (to use the LDS term), have temple recommends, and church jobs (callings).

Huntsman is more of a ‘jack Mormon’. Reid and Romney are both TBM (True Blue or Truly Brainswashed) Mormons. They are true believers in Mormonism.

Biblical Jesus - eternal
lds jesus - created
Biblical Jesus - paid the price on the Cross
lds jesus - paid the price in the garden
Biblical Jesus - sufficient, He alone can Save
lds jesus - not sufficient IE after all we can do
mormonISM is not Christianity, it is not debatable.

I would NEVER vote for a Mormon. I know to much about their religion (see tagline) to ever trust them in a position of power.

You may want to check out Rocky Hulse’s book “When Salt Lake City Calls” if you think Mormonism wouldn’t affect a presidency negatively.

Si, Si ;
I agree with your first two paragraphs.
While the lesser of 2 evils is evil -
it is also lesser

Jews listen to Rabbis
Catholics listen to Bishops
Protestants listen to Wesley, Calvin, Baker, Sweigart, etc..
