With the miles upon miles of underground bunkers with food and water to sustain all of Utah's mormon population (well, the "elite" mormon population) in case of nukes?  Probably not....;)

My Dad said he wouldn't vote for him because he was a mormon, even though he himself hasn't been to church in 60 years. I told him he shouldn't be allowed to vote.

I think Mitt has some serious questions to answer regarding being a leading member of a formerly racist organization...The leader having a "revelation from God"(that blacks were ok) just before the passing of the bill of rights.

And anyone who states publicly during presidential race that the "President should be a man of faith" is whack.

i agree with most of his platform though.

I could care less whether he was a Mormon or not.  Doesn't make a difference to me...

If he doesn't get the nomination, I don't think it will be because he is a Mormon, rather, the fact that he comes off as a salamander.

I don't know how it is elsewhere, but most Republicans I talk to here in Connecticut can't stomache his personality.

By faith I assume you mean in the hereafter Sirloin. Which man do you suppose would be more responsible? The man who believes there is a higher authority to which he must eventually answer or the man who believes he is his own authority and when he dies is absolved of all responsibility?

It's been established through precedent that being a moron is not only not a disqualifier but it seems to be more and more a preferred trait amongst many voters, regarding their candidate of choice (if not themselves, as well).

Oh .... wait ... nevermind. (Ala Emily Natilda) ;)

If there was ever any doubt Bill Clinton proved that beyond question.

Examples vary, as does mileage. Bill didn't break the bank or pressure intelligence to provide only the intel he wanted to hear .... but the blow-jarb sure affected my personal quality of life, the security of the state and the condition of the military. That being the case, I can think of worse. Ahem. ;)

A man who's morality is based on scriptures written(by man) over 2000 years ago vs a man who's morality is based on his own beliefs(examining & interpreting science/society)..Who is more likely to do more harm than good?

 

Bad people do bad things..Good people try and do good things.

To get a good person to do a truly wicked thing,that takes religion.


For example.."Mother" Teresa...went around the world as a sort of moral fig-leaf for the Vatican..Preaching to Africans that AIDS is bad,but condoms are worse.Millions who listened and had faith in her words no doubt contracted AIDS and died a horrible death..In the 1990's she was sent (by the vatican) to Ireland to try and stop a constitutional amendment/referendum that would have legalized divorce(she failed).She would rather a woman be stuck in an abusive/alcoholic household than for her to be able to escape.

BTW,in her memoirs(near the end of her life) she declared she had no faith or belief in God.I can give you an exact quote if you like(i will look it up).

If she can't bring herself to believe it,why should anyone else?..Which brings us back to Mitt declaring the President "should be a person of faith"


"Faith" being defined in the dictionary as"the firm belief in something for which there is no evidence or proof"...

So by definition "Faith" is irrational...And so Mitt's statement is both irrational & irresponsible.

I'd be wary of anyone who chose to vote in this election  for Mitt, either-
1) Not knowing exactly what Mormons believe  or...
2) Believing that Clinton's BJ was just that, like something you forget about on a frat party Saturday night.

I would never vote for anyone who belongs to a group who rings my doorbell at 9am.

Unless they are bringing me a package or a pizza.
