In response to whether the public should vote for a Mormon for president, one should know what beliefs a candidate had.
Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman have Mormon roots and they have been vague about their beliefs and loyalty to the LDS church.
Mormon theology includes ideas like their priesthood brethren will become the government leaders, or future kings of the world, in a globalized theocracy, and that their male leaders will take over when a second coming of Christ occurs. They believe they are the pre-ordained leaders to rule over a coming theocratic kingdom.
Worthy Mormon males are temple attending, dressing in white with special learned handshakes, altar rituals, Masonic rites and gestures and do secretive activities different from normal society.
They believe they are the future gods of new worlds in a life after this one. They follow prophets with ever-changing doctrine and change their fictional "Book of Mormon" every time it is found to be un-politically correct.
Their women are taught they are good for breeding, to have large families.
A member of this cult is loyal to its church leaders and to whatever their modern prophets tell them is gospel, which changes at their will.
They claim to be Christian, but Mormon polytheism of many gods/goddesses in a hereafter, rituals that must be performed in their temples, garment wearing and works (not grace) that saves a person is different ideology.
It is debatable whether Mormons are Christians, and they have other scriptures special to Mormonism written by their leaders, not just the New Testament, like their Doctrine and Covenants and Book of Mormon.
To learn about them and their practices, beliefs and personal character will help us determine whether they are the future leaders of Americans. Or are they really stuck in their controversial past?
Tactic #14: Get the various factions of Christianity fighting amoung themselves and perhaps they'll leave JUS alone.

my heart agrees with you, but my head knows this country will not survive 4 more years of this socialist nightmare. i love my country too much not to do everything i can to save it. 4 years of romney is not the same as 4 years of zero, not even close.
Tactic #12: Question their MANHOOD or something similar. That's always good for a diversion.
but i am quite confident his supreme court nominees would not be sonya and kagan

I’m not.
Romney is not part of the Republican party I’m associated with. If he’s the Republican nominee, then the Republican party has left me. If our country is going to be destroyed, it’ll be destroyed by the democrats. I want no part of helping Romney and the progressive RINO left destroy what’s left of our liberty!

i voted for W twice, but i never believed he was pro-life for a second. he learned a lesson from his father, if he wanted to be president, he would need to take a pro life position. why did he save specter the defector from certain defeat at the hands of pat toomey in 2006? was that pro-life?

Yes it is. Romeny supports all the things Zero does.
Gay marriage (yep)
Socialized medicine (yep)
abortion (yep)
higher taxes (yep)
liberal judges (yep)
socialism (yep)
gun control (yep)
government control (yep)
I love my country too much to vote for Romney.
How can they POSSIBLY 'keep' a TR, if they are EATING MEAT in warm weather?
Do they LIE about it?
he will oppose all of those in the campaign and probably in his adm. comparing him to zero is like comparing casey anthony to hitler.
(Is it COLD or a FAMINE?)
Mitt's record as the 4th Republican Governor in a row for Massachusetts, resulted in him giving up on reelection, leaving the office with 34% approval, and Republicans losing the Governor's office to a now two term Democrat Governor.
We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
Really precise language; ain't it!
They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.Who has made this so?Have I?Have this people?Have the world?No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.Can you pass without his inspection?No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?

Whatever gives you THAT idea? He will say anything to get elected, even moreso because he believes he is the fulfillment of a Mormon prophecy.
If he is elected, he will be just as bad as Zero or worse. Remember, I know the Mormon mindset, I know they say one thing and do another, I know they lie to get what they want. Romney is no different than Obama, his term as Gov of Mass proves it.
Now, instead of saying you will vote for him (which is a vote for Zero, btw), what are you doing to keep him from getting the nomination?
Don’t just roll over, that is what the GOP establishment (who gave us McSame) wants. The GOP establishment needs a loud and clear message that WE”RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE.
If you think he will be a conservative in any way shape or form, you are very sadly mistaken.
i am waiting to see if Perry gets in the race and will support him if he does. if not, i guess it’s Bachmann.
