Could you vote for a Mormon in the Whitehouse?

[ayin jade]

A MormN believes In Jesus's teachings.

Actually they do not. If you are interested I can link you to posts that explain how they do not follow the teachings of Jesus.

Perhaps tho it would be good to clarify what you think the teachings of Jesus are.

The office is president, not preacher! Separate the two. I'm looking for someone with conservative values like I have. If I need to hear a sermon, I'll go to my church.

How can someone separate themselves from their core beliefs?

It really does not matter. Almost all the presidents claimed to be christians, showed up in church once in a while. Buy the end the all lie, bend to pressure of the donors and party. Everywhere the real president are the people that have the money to elect them.

I doubt that I would, because of different beliefs and values. Now if a Mormon was running against a Muslim.................I would vote for the Mormon, lesser of two evils and a Mormon never tried to kill me. (I don't think) Is there such a thing as a Morslim?

Lots of mormons in office in my state. I dont care for them. Having said that ...

Is voting for a mormon any different than voting for any other candidate who isnt saved? Is voting for a mormon different than voting for someone else who professes to be christian yet believes in a false gospel?

If the choice is obama versus romney, given that they both hold to salvational errors in their beliefs, given that I feel obama is terrible for this country and will destroy us, I will make my ballot to vote for romney.

I hadn't thought of it in this way and it actually changed my mind about not being able to vote for him because he is a Mormon. However, I still have this huge problem with how he views Islam, as a religion of peace, which tells me he has absolutely no clue about what Islam actually is. That makes him a danger due to a lack of knowledge about something very important.

His viewe of Islam makes him much more of a danger to the US than being a mormon The three that sound like they understand the most to me is Santorum, Gingrich and Bockman. Since she's pretty much out and Gingrich is way down, Santorum would be my choice.

if a mormon were the better candidate for office, i would have absolutely no qualms voting in his favor. romney is running for president of the country, not pastor of my church!

i don't know if i'll vote for him when the time comes or not. i'm really not yet paying attention to politics this year. when it comes closer to time, i'll do my research and vote accordingly.

as for mormons in general, they are usually conservative, they believe in personal responsibility, they are opposed to gay marriage and abortion... to me, those are important considerations. VERY important. and if a mormon with those values is running against an opponent whose values are contrary to mine, i'll be voting for the mormon and praying for his victory.

I would vote for..

Someone who...

Has no skeletons in their closet

Has not had an extramarital affair

Is not funded by big business

Is successful in business them self

Does not like dogs but buys a "family" dog to look good

Does not ride on the back of someone like Tebow to further their "Christian" credentials

Tells the truth most of the time

Does not have their own personal hairdresser, make up artist and manicurist

Does not think war is the solution to every foreign policy challenge

I don't think I can vote....

Sigh
