The Mormon people have been strong GOP backers all my life, nothing like throwing an entire state under the bus.

“The Mormon people have been strong GOP backers all my life, nothing like throwing an entire state under the bus. “

I don’t think that taking the theological position that Mormonism is not Christianity is equivalent to throwing an entire state under a bus.

I am a Christian; I don’t regard Mormons as Christians; but I will vote for Romney for President if he’s the nominee.

I just wouldn’t vote for him for pastor!

So? Go out there to any average evangelical or fundmentalist church and they’ll all tell you the same thing. Mormonism is not Christianity. And know what? It isn’t.

I realize some in the Mormon faith believe it is but that would be like Christians trying to say they are Jewish.

I can get along with Mormons and think they are nice people but I am not about to bow to a pressure to label their religion the same as my own when it is not.

Gotta agree. Mormons are generally very, very solid Americans and vote very conservatively.

While I wouldn't necessarily refer to Mormonism as a cult, I don't think they are Christians. Just the same, that has nothing to do with why I don't care for Romney. The problem with Mitt is he a flip flopper, with a not particularly conservative record (and that's being generous).

Still, everyone knew this was coming and many Christians are not going to be terribly excited about voting for a Mormon.

Mormon’s weren’t really GOP until about the 1950’s. When I was LDS a lot of the older members were still staunch democrats. But, things change.

Anyway, Utah isn’t in play it will go for Romney.
