Could you vote for a Mormon in the Whitehouse?

I might add that they do tend to be a somewhat moral people, and they do not have any teaching that I am aware of to force anyone to be come a mormon or be a second class citizen or die. Just a thought.

Try living in utah or in a primarily mormon area. You are not forced or killed, but you do tend to remain an outsider in every day life, including business.

I should add: I do not expect to see that kind of thing if romney gets elected. There is not a majority of mormons in the us to permit that "outsider" aspect to happen.

What??? I couldn't go to the site so I'm not understanding the 'cutting off our heads' thing......

It's a reference to Islam . . . as in become a Mulim or loose your head.

Oh, now I get it. Muslims are worse than Mormons, for sure.

Remember MG, we are talking about a hypothetical situation where there are only 2 choices, and one will win. If there was a chance to find a third person who could win, of course that would be your choice. I am just coming from a practical standpoint, where I would be trying to come up with the best strategy to preserve the nation till the next election.

By the way, I don't see Romney as Joseph Smith. He isn't even a real dedicated Mormon, and that is my whole point. If he were, he would have been solidly pro-life all along. There is another problem with the Joseph Smith comparison. Those in the LDS church bear little resemblance to Joseph Smith's teachings. They have been modernized to fit in better, and follow the laws of the land. On the other hand, I have seen no evidence Obama is in disagreement with Jeremiah Wright. He even wrote a book based on one of his sermons.

I'm just going to pray that Romney is not the nominee.....I could never vote for him. Besides being a Mormon, he's wishy-washy and strikes me as not having strong convictions.

If you look at Romney's track record, you can see that he does lots of flip flopping.

Yes, and I have looked. He goes which ever way the consensus pushes him. I just can't get behind such a wimp.

LoL, maybe he's just smart enough to know he as wrong... Just a thought
