Something I've been thinking about. Many Republicans I know will be voting for Romney in November, even though he is an acknowledged Mormon. These same people refused to vote for Obama because they believed he was a secret Muslim.
Why is it OK amongst Christian conservative voters for a candidate to be Mormon, but it's not OK for a candidate to be a Muslim? Is it because Mormonism originated here in the US?

I don't know one person who would not vote for Obama beause he might be a Muslem. Those people wouldn't vote for him regardless and that goes for the other side as well.
I will tell you, though I certainly am not an expert on the Muslim religion, I do know enogh about it (which doens't take much) to know their overall thinking is "force everyone to believe their way" (the rdicals that is) I have never known a Mormon to force their religion down anyone's throat. Yes, they do have ideas many of us have trouble with, yes, they can even be cliquee (spelling) and they do love to go door to door, which does drive some of us nuts, but they are also very peaceful people.
I don't understand what religion has to do with being president.
You'd have to be a real backwater hick to care about that when there are so many more important issues to consider in choosing the prez.
I disagree completely. I think religion can be a very important criteria when judging a person's overall fitness for any public office.
I find the fact that Mitt Romney actually believes that when he dies he will be transformed into a god living near Planet Kolob to be very scary. IMO, there is a fine line between religious belief and mental illness. Mormon theology clearly crosses that line with imaginary planets, magic translating stones, pre-Colombian Jews in North America, gold plates buried in New York that can only be read by a pedophile con man, etc.
Muslims goal is to kill all who aren't Muslims. Mormons want everyone to go to church..!
obama being a corrupt, lying Muslim isn't the reason people will vote him out in November, It's because his policies are terrible, he is a terrible, failed president, and he supports communism...

The fact that christians believe what they do is equally as ridiculous and appalling to most of the world's population.
Are you serious with this comment or have you just never read the bible? It's a joke.
But we vote those weirdos with the outrageous beliefs into office every day.
For one thing,Mormons didn't fly planes into the WTC. The religion of peace did.
The Irish Republican Army are Christian and bombed buildings so renounce Christianity like a decent human being.
