Baptists spend too much time worrying about other people and what they are doing. Maybe they should pay a little more attention to themselves and work there first. Nothing like having Fred Phelps as a member.
All other Baptists reject those freaky nut jobs as not being Baptists in the first place.
Why don't Mormons reject their freaky nut jobs, such as Joseph Smith?
Does he have a Mormon staff in Massachussetts? How about Harry Reid?
Personally, I would like to see his hair messed up - at least once - but think he is more than well qualified - if not the best qualified candidate - to be President. I see him as a man who respects 'values' and lives them. Is he perfect? No. . .but then. . .why go there.
I also like Fred Thompson; who has little hair to mess up. . .but am waiting to hear and see how he handles what is sure to be an assault. The kind any Repub expects to get from Demrats. . .but do not want to wait, too much longer. I am hoping underneath his 'comfort zone' that we do not find too much Hollywood.
That said; I want a Repub winner and a good one. With Dems voting in radical Muslims; and Dems who serve radical Muslims; and with the threat of empowerment of the radical Left over our Country. . .we must win this election.
Well then I guess that we can’t vote for Fred. Church of Christ think that they are the true church.
Then there are the Catholic’s, they think that they are the true church.
McCain thinks that he is God, so he is out.
Huckabee is the only Baptist, so I guess we Baptist) are expected to vote for him.
Fred Phelps is NOT a member of a Southern Baptist Church!
Wow! So we have a multiple-choice selection of a multiple-wife candidate vs. a multiple-god candidate like Mitt, eh? (And since the Bible talks about the true church being married to Jesus...see 2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5; Rev. 19-21 & other passages...and LDS believe that spouses are forever...I guess Mitt will be two-timing only in the celestial kingdom, eh?...Not this side of the veil)
There aren’t enough Mormons in Massachusetts to compose a large staff, but the fact is, alot of Mormons see Romney the way we Catholics saw Kennedy, the way the Baptists saw Carter in ‘76. In many parts of the country, you’ll find that what Mormons there are suddenly gravitate to his staff. It’s just the way identity politics works.
Your opinion means nothing, let's have some facts.
And you spend too much time worrying about Baptists. There's a real world out there, go take a look.
Not necessarily. Romney is running for President, not Preacher. Evangelicals are smart enough to know the difference.
LOL! The argument is quite funny when you put it that way, ain’t it?
But not all FReepers... :^)
Before we jump on this, riddle me this:
Is America ready for a Mormon Senate majority leader?
Is America ready for a Mormon chairman of the judiciary committee?
Did you notice that we already have been there?
The theological differences will matter only to that segment of the evangelical community that confuses a vote for President for a vote for pastor. Most evangelicals are thankfully over that paarticular hump and are looking at the more important and fundamental question: Will this candidate share our values and advance the pro-family, pro-freedom, pro-life and pro-national security vision that we as patriotic Americans share?
I am convinced that Christian convictions, while always helpful, are neither necessary nor sufficient for good leadership.
So I close with a final question for the “evagnelicals who won’t vote for Mitt”. ... The race gets down to 2 candidates, one an evangelical Christian the other a Mormon.
You ignore all other considerations because their religious label is a primary decider. Who ho do you vote for,
(a) the evangelical Christian
(b) the Mormon?
If you picked (a), congrats - you just selected Jimmy Carter.
I believe Mitt Romney would make a good President and has already proven himself to be a good leader in a number of arenas (Olympics, Bain Capital, as Governor, etc.) Whether he’s be best choice is up to primary voters, but in no way is he a bad choice.
“Voting against the Democrat agenda whenever possible is a given. In the general election, we can talk about making such a compromise. But now? In the primaries? It is far too early in this process to panic.”
they were talking about the general election. It’s too early to argue about the hypothetical of Romney versus (like Hillary) in the November general election.
But i would agree that if it did come to that, that, indeed, a conservative ‘sitting it out’ because they are not sure about Romney being 100% on our side against any of the liberal Democrats, Hillary, obama etc., is an act of voting Hari kari.
“Personally, I would like to see his hair messed up - at least once - but think he is more than well qualified - if not the best qualified candidate - to be President. I see him as a man who respects ‘values’ and lives them. Is he perfect? No. . .but then. . .why go there.”
Well said. And I for one am very concerned about this seeking of the ‘perfect’ candidate, when we know that politics, low occupation that it is, rarely has men of ‘perfection’ lining up to take up the job.
I found out only recently that Tancredo is Catholic and attended Catholic High School, as did Rudy.
It’s curious that the liberal whine about the lack of diversity in the GOP field, when in fact it isquite diverse from life backgrounds, denominations, etc.
Defending the historical moral foundation of American law and the right of man to acknowledge God is not dominionism.
There, I fixed it.
I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said "stop! don't do it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
He said, "Like what?"
I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?"
He said, "Religious."
I said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?"
He said, "Christian."
I said, "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
He said, "Protestant."
I said, "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
He said, "Baptist!"
I said, "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?"
He said, "Baptist Church of God!"
I said, "Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"
He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God!"
I said, "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?"
He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!"
I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off.

Yes, Dominoes and Staples suffered terribly under Romney... *rolls eyes*
Romney did so well because the corporations he helped restructure did well. There’s no money to be made in failure...
