***Christian sect of Mormonism***

Mormonism is not a “sect” of Christianity.

Christians do not believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is nothing but a big brother.

On the other hand, H. Clinton is not a member of any sect of Christianity that I recognize.

I will vote for Romney if he is the nominee, but only because the alternative is unthinkable.

The national polls don’t mean much now, it’s too early. It’s the individual State polls that count, and that’s why the real story is that Mitt is leading the pack.

You are more than confused about Romney.

Romney is for big government, Romney Care, anti Second Amendment,signed for the Mass AWB just for starters. He is a full blown RINO

Mormons are not Christians. They do not believe in Christ Jesus as the Son of God. They do not believe in Salvation or any of the other Christian beliefs. You are right, many of us have a big problem with Mormons.

Our Sinator is a Mormon and he changed his mind on our Troops to get re-elected. I voted for him but will not vote for him again.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Here’s what I found on ARG:
[quote]It is important to note that what ARG does, as explained above, is very different from the way other pollsters ask about party ID. ARG asks about party registration on some states, party identification in others and then combines the two results into a single variable. Whatever the merits of this approach, the will results not be comparable to those of other polling organizations.

Party registration is not the same as party identification - respondents will sometimes provide a different answer when asked how they are registered as compared to which party the feel closer to. In states that require it, some voters may choose a party affiliation in order to cast a ballot in a contested primary when they “consider themselves” independent or even closer to the other party. In southern states, this phenomenon has a name - the Dixiecrat - which describes those who register as Democrats in order to vote in local primaries in areas where Democrats almost always win local general elections.

My own firm often asks about both party registration and party ID, often in the same survey (e.g. Are you registered? [If yes] are you registered as a Republican, Democrat or independent? Now regardless of how you are registered, do you consider yourself...?]. The results are often quite different. Those tempted to weight by party identification to match statistics for party registration provided by election officials risk introducing serious bias [/quote]

Swapped Thompson and Romney data.

That would make it more consistant with national polls and I see that as a possibility. Would be a major error by a polling company to report results like that.

If this is true it worries me because I’m a Fred supporter. However, I’d vote for Mitt w/o holding my nose. In fact, I’d vote for anyone running against whatshername.

Just keep telling yourself that and repeating media talking points. A good useful idiot for the cause of Hillary and the RINO midgets.

Thompson is rapidly squandering the bump he got from announcing.

I’m beginning to wonder if he has the energy for the race and for the job.

I don’t have that same fear with Romney.

You are EXACTLY right. The polls as well as the voting is based on INDIVIDUAL states,NOT national voting.And the Presidency is determined the same way,because if it wasn’t George Bush would have gone home in 2000 !!!

“He ducked the two that came after he announced. He ducked those that came before.”

The ones that “came before” wouldn’t have accepted him as a debater because he hadn’t declared his candidacy yet.

I don’t believe this poll. No way would Fred’s numbers fall like this, post-declaration, in a state like South Carolina.

You and I agree the vast majority of the time but I disagree with you on this one my FRiend. Even if you think that Mormonism is not a Christian sect, I am 100% sure that Mitt Romney will not force his Mormonism on anyone.

Governors win the Presidency. Senators don’t. At least not in the past 47 years, they haven’t.

So we don't have to worry about a Hillary presidency?
