I understand that a person’s faith affects their worldview. How do you think his faith affected his governorship?

Remember, I see things a bit differently. I know what goes on in Mormonism, I know the oaths he took.
Gay marriage - actually supported by more mormons than most people think because they recognize it as a door to open the return of polygamy (which is required for godhood according to their scriptures).
Feelings before facts - things like Romneycare. Mormons determine ‘truth’ not based upon facts but by praying and receiving a ‘burning in the bosom’, which will make something true to them, even if it is contrary to facts.
Pro-choice - Mormons believe that there are ‘spirit babies’ waiting for bodies, but they don’t need to be born in order to get a body and children of rape, with birth defects and the like are PROOF you aren’t living the LDS gospel. Many LDS aren’t as pro-life as they appear and many more support exceptions for abortion. The attitude has changed a lot in the past 20 years regarding having large families, some do, but many are opting not to, at about the same rate as the rest of America.
I’m sure there are other things, but those are the three most talked about regarding his Governorship. Give ma a few other events/policies and I will look at them and see if there are any connections.
I can see is religion causing more problems with him as POTUS, including the LDS view of “Israel” and “Zion” as well as Mitt believing (like Glenn Beck) that he is the fulfillment of the the White Horse Prophecy.
