Good work not voting for the icky Mormon. Those schmucks got exactly what you deserve. I'm glad you personally voted for Romney. But plenty of your fellow born-agains couldn't get over him being Mormon. I had no idea Americans had such a strong anti-Mormon sentiment until they mentioned that during the election. Your point is spot-on - talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Did they ever report on which denomination had the strongest objection to Romney? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Your point is spot-on - talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Did they ever report on which denomination had the strongest objection to Romney? I'll start by saying I very gladly pulled the lever for Romney. However, of all the viable Conservatives out there, the Republican Party had to nominate the only Moderate New Englander running. The same guy who sprang the model for Obamacare on his fellow Massholes. Romney happening to be a Mormon was just the icing on the cake for some folks. The reason Obama was reelected has more to do with the Republicans picking the one candidate who could not continuously pummel Zero over the head with Obamacare than it does either candidate's religion. |

And how's that Obamacare working out for all you and your fellow Christians? You sure showed us Mormons by not voting for Romney...and, uh, voting for Obama?

As long as they keep their religion out of the law, I don't care what they believe in personally. I know several Christians who didn't vote for Romney because he was a Mormon. I didn't vote for him because of Romneycare and his AWB while governor. Zhukov's comment is spot on. I'm an atheist, hence my "+1, same here," In response to the post saying I DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD. I'm a libertarian, and certainly didn't vote for Obama. As far as I'm concerned, based on his record Romney would have just been White Obama. What tactics are involved when the two choices are slightly different versions of the same man? We will disagree on this, no doubt, but it's been argued to exhaustion elsewhere and that is fine with me. But the original post is spot on regarding many Christians, which is why I mentioned that some of the Christians I know refused to vote for Romney. And I'm sorry your butt hurts so much. |

I absolutely would vote for a Jew, Deist and any brand of Christian, as well as an Agnostic. I do put Mormonism in that category as well. Although Mormons do not exactly fit into Christianity as we Christians see it, I am friends with many Mormons and find them to be good people, people I could vote for.
I absolutely would not vote for a muslim under any circumstances, and I would not vote for a hard core atheist. |

I completely disagree with your premise that all have been Christian lately. Hell, I voted for a Morman last time but at least he was an American who had more experience than voting "present" . We have a muslim in there now. McCain is an American but I doubt he is a "Christian". The Bush's may be Christian but see paragraph below.
There are a ton of "christians" out there who don't know squat about running a country or being President-so no I wouldn't vote for them. I'm much more interested in someone who can lead and make big decisions for the good of the country and uphold the Constitution than where he goes to church. That said: FBHO and his supporters. |

I'd have no problem voting for a Jewish candidate. I'd probably be fine with a Mormon candidate. Atheists, agnostics, deists, Muslims, and others not so much. The candidate would have to be rather exceptional, in the vicinity of Goldwater at least. This is all much truer in the case of a candidate that actively practices their faith (if applicable) and/or has their political views rather informed by their religion or lack thereof. Atheism does not naturally beget Rightism; quite the opposite. Exceptions, like Goldwater, are just that. Islam is at odds with Western civilization and only in the most watered-down form (maybe something like King Abdullah II) is it really compatible to any degree with traditional Western political ideals. Ultimately, there needs to be a compatibility in values expressed through politics. Like it or not, religion can often play an immense role in this, even a vital one.

Why should I care what the POTUS's religion is? Does he love this country? Does he believe in the Constitution as it was intended by the Framers? Will he defend this country and put it's people before all others? Will he do his best to return this country to a sound financial state? Will he do his best to cut back the welfare state and get all able Americans to work? Those are the things I care about. Religion? Pfffft. Religion, No. Faith, Yes... Problem is if the individual in question doesn't believe in a Creator, how can they take the statement ..."endowed by their Creator certain inalienable Rights, Among them Life, Liberty & the pursuit of Happiness..."? Of the questions you asked none were: Will they stand up & move with their hearts to bring people together under the Love & Protection of an almighty God?" "Turn to me & I will heal your Land. For all those that missed the last 5k years or so, take a trip into the Old Testament. Read you some Kings 1 & 2... & keep going. That's what happens to a people's that allow the Un-Godly to have Rule over them. "To an Evil people I will give an Evil Government." And to those who are practicing of Sects, good luck with that... & I don't believe in Luck. |
