They don't love Romney. They just hate Obama. You know....hatred. That most Jesus-like of Christian beliefs.
So true. So true.

But there has always been a significant percentage of Catholic Americans in this country.

It's bothersome that a religion with such a questionable history of bigamy and bigotry would figure so prominently against the struggle for gay rights in this country. MaYBE romney will be fed back just some of what he and cult members dish out.

I'm sorry if I offend any Mormons...maybe all religions began as cults, but Mormonism is a bit more cultish in my book.

If I was an American I wouldn't want anyone with SUCH an extreme and alien worldview to lead my COUNTRY.

Why can't you see they hate Obamas polices, is this really a hard one to figure out.

Unfortunately we have someone like that now

At least Romney is proud of America and being American.

Sure...that's gotta be what they mean when some of my friends say things like, "I'll never support anything that black SOB does," or refer to him as "that n----r in the White House."

And that's just my Christian friends! You oughta hear what at the rest of them say!

Have you known any evangelicals? I have and they are pretty hardcore. Given that many evangelicals still feel that Catholics are papist-worshipping devils, it's hard to believe that they wouldn't have a significant problem with a Mormon. I have a hard time believing that they will sacrifice their religious beliefs for politics.

USA is too stained with organized religion unfortunately. Other countries like yours seem to have it better in so many ways, but it could just be the illusion of the grass being greener on the other side. The catholics are pretty cultish too. Think about it. Jesus born of the Virgin Mary by the immaculate conception? All of the saints (idols) that we pray to in order to intercede between us and God? The Pope is infallible?, etc. But the mormons' story are far more loonier. Jos Smith, founder was a huckster and compulsive liar. Enough fools were suckered into his stories about golden plates and promised unlimited wives in the afterworld. I'm sure that it sounded inviting to a bunch of perverted men and caught on.

They don't like Romney whatsoever, and they aren't going to enthusiastically support him. But still, he "looks like a good American" moreso than that Obama dude.

And that's all that matters. Romney will do for now until they can get a "real Christian" in office. LMAO

I asked my mother ( Pentecostal) and she said no way to Romney and Obama. She is voting Ron Paul. Mormonism is a cult according to church leaders.
