qruel, I don't understand why you waste so much time and are concerned so much with the "legitimacy" of the LDS church. They believe and follow the teachings of the Bible and the teachings of Christ. In it's loosest term that is by definition a Christian. They are pretty harmless compared to the evangelicals. In fact I think that's is why Romney is talking like this...he is trying to appeal to the right-wing evangelical base. He's telling them...you may not like my religion...but at least I believe in the Bible and Jesus and one nation under God and in God we trust and God bless America and all that other stuff you want to hear from your President.

I wouldn't have a problem voting for a Mormon because I know first hand that they are good people.

JFK was Catholic...an unpopular religion with most of the countries Christians at the time. Hoover and Nixon were Quaker and Eisenhower was a Jehovah's Witness...neither that popular then or now. John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Millard Fillmore, and William Howard Taft were all Unitarians...my understanding is they believe in Jesus and follow his teachings etc... but that he was not God (via the trinity). To them Jesus was a prophet and they do not pray to Jesus but to God...sounds kind of like how the Muslim religion looks at Jesus.

There are plenty of good reasons not to vote for Romney...this latest speech is one of them
