Comments on: Romney's Religion Problem

The New Republic: Mormon Candidate Should Hope For More Attacks From Dems — Or Become One

What's up with the CBS blogging program?

Almost everyone is repeat-posting at least twice.

Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition, was on Anderson Cooper this past Wednesday or Thursday night.

Cooper asked Reed the direct question "Are Mormons Christians?" It was a simple Yes or No question.

Reed would not answer the question. He stuttered and stammered, and would simply not answer it.

James Carville, liberal Democratic strategicist, was also on the show. Anderson asked him the same question.

Carville's answer was "Yes. The full name of the Mormon church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mormons say they are Christians and who am I do disagree with how they practice their religion. Sure they are Christians."

The fact here is that the right-wing of the GOP has a fairly NARROW view of Christianity. But they are happy to let folks like the Mormons and other "Non-Christians" think they are "Christians", as long as they'll vote with them.

That's why Reed can't answer the question. The right-wing will be fine with Mitt as long has they don't have to publicly recognize him as a real Christian.

Al Sharpton :, %u201CAs for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don%u2019t worry about that, that%u2019s a temporary situation.%u201D

The interesting thing here is that he said %u201Cdon%u2019t worry about that%u201D This just proves that as a democrat, the candidate he is most worried about from the Republican side is Mitt Romney. The democrats are scared if he gets the nomination, because he will easily beat any democrat nominee. They fear Mitt the most.
GO MITT! Republicans better nominate him if they want to win in 2008, he is the best candidate and even the Democrats know it! Also they are already planning on using the woman card or the race card against the other candidate, so Republicans having a religious card scares them.

MCVet: How do I know what? Part of honoring another's view is letting them speak them. I was refering to the article just below quoting a study done by a University of WA professor, That the LDS religion is the fastest growing Christian religion.

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/culture/articles/001113/archive_009841.htm

There have been 2 studys coming to this conclusion one in 2000 and one in 1984. My point is, that is why there are pastors and some others spreading lies, calling the LDS non-Christian or infering that they don't really believe in God, so that they won't lose their congregation to the LDS church. That is the problem with paid clergy, sometimes they can't look past their greed and get to pure religion. They have to protect their money by putting down another faith. There is nothing wrong with sharing your personal views and beliefs, but putting down someone else for their belief is wrong.

And what is the reason why we should reject Mitt? Is it his great record as a governor and head of the Olympics and in business at Bain Capital? or is it because he's just too perfect?

Come on, the Democrats wish he was their candidate, because he is a great candidate and they don't have very good options right now. Michelle Cottle obviously is a democrat and she obviously wishes he was their candidate.

Article VI of the Constitution of the United States say's:

"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned and the members of the several State Legislatures, and ALL EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIAL Officers, both of the United States and the several states, shall be bound by oath or AFFIRMATION, to support this Constitution; but NO RELIGIOUS TEST SHALL EVER BE REQUIRED AS A QUALIFICATION OF ANY OFFICE OR PUBLIC TRUST UNDER THE UNITED STATES."

Isn't it time you clowns in the Religious Reich become party of the country? Isn't it time we started LIVING by the document so many of so many different beliefs have died for. We very nearly did not elect the Great John Kennedy because of Religious Bigotry. We should reject Rommey but not because of his PERSONAL Religious Beliefs!! Sieg Heil and Amen.

I will not vote for any mormons. I will never be a mormon. Never. I am grateful I can worship Jesus as I see fit. That is my constitutional right. I love my cup of tea. I will dress my person as I see fit to. I will not tell you to/not worship Him as thats your right.
I am not comfortable around mormons and never have. I will not change my mind.

Are these millions of people joining the LDS church because it is a radical or wacko religion? NO. They are joining because they study and pray about it, and get an answer that it is true, as I did. As simple as that! If you really want to know about the LDS faith study it yourself and pray about it. You have nothing to lose except for maybe the truth setting you free from your bias and prejudice.

You know this how? How do you pathetic Losers in the Religious Reich KNOW what is in a person's heart? When YOU learn to be American, when you learn to LIVE by the document called the Constitution and allow EVERY American to have what you have, the right to your PERSONAL Beliefs without imposing them on others, this will not matter. In my opinion there isn't a lot of difference between our Religious Reich and Bin Ladens Bunch... Our's have only been FORCED by Real American's to clean up a little, take off the hoods and sheets and at least pretend to honor other peoples views. If NOT for those American's I have no doubt that Witch Trials would still be going on... Sieg Heil and Amen.
