See, that is my concern about Protestants in the upcoming election.
They would rather have a Kenyan Stalinist than a Mormon in office, because by refusing to vote for Romney, your inaction is a vote for Kenyan Stalinism.
There is no difference between Romney and Obama, they are both socialists, but Romney is just more stealth about it, and therefore, more dangerous.

I completely agree. I, for one, am not refusing to vote for Romney if it comes down to him and Obama. I’ll take 60% of what I want as opposed to 0% (Obama).
I was not discussing not voting for Romney in the first place. I was using the Romney flap as an illustration of Christians who flame him for his religion rather than looking solely at his politics, and, how doing so just creates divisivness and anger because people don’t understand the theology. It just confuses people and sets a bad witness to those who are not Christians.
That’s why I said, if you had read the entire post, that these kinds of religious discussions are a bad idea on an open political forum, such as Free Republic, where you have all kinds of people with all kinds of religious beliefs. I just don’t think these discussions help anything.
As to Romney, it’s true that I don’t like some of his baggage, but I would not refrain from voting simply because he’s a Mormon (and a nominal one too). I agree with you that those people who refuse to vote for him because of his religion, or even because of some of his past more liberal political decisions, are simply going to get 100% marxism from Obama if he gets voted back in.
