Can Mitt Romney seal the deal with the Christian right?
The Guardian ^ | 7 February 2012 | Harry J Enton

Posted on 02/07/2012 3:13:05 PM PST by throwback

Mitt Romney won an impressive 29-percentage point victory in Saturday's Nevada caucuses. For some analysts, the triumph suggested that Romney is well on his way to winning the nomination. For me, the win was expected and confirms my forecast about where the race is heading. Romney maintains his status as the favorite for the Republican nomination, but potential trouble lurks down the road.

Romney maintains a great funding and organizational advantage in comparison to his peers. If he senses any candidate (such as Newt Gingrich) might be a serious challenge, Romney can drown out his opponent with television advertising and establishment endorsements (as Elliott Abrams describes in the National Review). Romney's ability to turn a five-point deficit in Florida into a seven-point lead in three days, with an eventual 14.5-point win, shows what his campaign is capable of doing.

The outstanding issue for Romney, though, is that he has yet failed to break through in a state that doesn't favor him demographically. Think about the states where Romney has done well: New Hampshire, Florida and Nevada. Some are liberal, some are conservative, but they share one demographic feature: they have a below-average percentage of Republican primary (or caucus) voters who identify as born-again Christians or evangelicals. The two states, Iowa and South Carolina, in which Romney has fared poorly have an above-average percentage of Republican primary (or caucus) voters who so identify.

Graphically, the relationship between born-again Christian and evangelical and the Romney vote becomes quite clear. Romney's percentage of the vote as opposed to the proportion won by the conservative alternatives (by now, just Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum) tallies quite closely with the percentage of voters in a state's exit polls who say they are born-again Christian or evangelical.

The Anti-Christ Liberal Main-Stream-Media wants to FORCE "Christians" to accept the BLASPHEMY of Mormonism and Islam ....


=====================================


There's a BIG difference between "Protestant vs. Catholic" theology ...

versus "Christian vs. Mormon" theology ...




Mormonism is really just a COMBINATION of Islam and Scientology ... they BOTH believe ...


1) Abraham and Christ "just good 'ol boys" ...


2) Multiple Wives are OK (wink, wink, fellas !)


3) We’re all just "Celestial Gods" in waiting ... for that "special" M-Class planet that "god" (whoever the heck is) has reserved for us ...


4) Drum Roll ....

4-A) Mormons, Scientologists and Islamics AGREE that Jesus Christ is just a "good guy" ... Christ DID NOT resuurect from the dead, and he is NOT the Sacrificial Lamb of God, who sits Perfect, Righteous and the right hand of God the Father ...
Mormons and Scientolgists and Islamics DO NOT believe that ...

"There is No Other name under heaven whereby men can be saved, except Jesus Christ"

4-B) Christ, whose shed blood on Calvary's cross is the Biblical atonement for Mankind's sins and transgressions ... against a holy eternal YAHWEH who is the "Uncreated Creator" ...


Myself, Billy Graham, James Dobson, Martin Luther, St. Augustine, Newt Gingich, Chuck Swindoll, Rick Santorum, Mother Theresa ... all believe 4-B ... hence we are "Christians" ...


Mormon "Archbishop Willard Romney" believes 4-A ... hence he is NOT a "Christian" ...

… any more than Buddha, Socrates, Neistche, Mohammed, L. Ron Hubbard ... or that fraud "prophet" Joseph Smith ... who sits today ... burning in Hell's Eternal Fire ...

Period.


=====================================

Again ... the Anti-Christ Liberal Main-Stream-Media wants to FORCE "Christians" to accept the BLASPHEMY of Mormonism and Islam ....

=====================================



Would you vote for a (practicing) "Islamic" to U.S. President ?

"No" ... you reply ...


Would you vote for a (practicing) "Scientologist" to U.S. President ?

"No" ... you reply ...


THEN WHY ... would you vote for a (practicing) "Mormon" to U.S. President ?



=====================================

We live in America ... and every U.S. Citizen of every RELIGIOUS FAITH ....

has the Constitutional Right to vote for WHOEVER they please ...

be they Atheists, Pagans, Wiccans, Baptists, Catholics, Buddhists, Mormons ... whatever ...

=====================================

However ... I REFUSE TO ACCEPT the Nazi-Style Propaganda that "Mormon Archbishop Willard Romney" is a Christian ... under ANY circumstances !

What say "you" ?????

Who will stand with me, as I stand with Christ ... today ?

=====================================

We’re discussing the Mormon factor here & it’s relation to Romney’s electability.
I don’t personally believe Barry is a Christian or a Muslim. IMHO he is an Atheist with Islamist sensibilities.
That being said, Barry has lied about his faith or lack of it, and been caught up in his own web of lies. His latest war against religion and his trashing of the Constition respecting the free exercise clause of the 1st Amendment, will backfire.
Morminism is a whole other story. The more people learn about this cult masquerading as a Christian denomination, and the Mormon Mitt Romney, the less they like it.

No he can’t. He is not a conservative.

If you are a Catholic, then you know that Romney is not a Christian, and that the religion which the Bishop Romney belongs to, loves to seduce Catholics away from Christianity.
