Would you vote for Romney?

Recommended Posts

Assume that Romney agrees with the majority of your ploitical views...Would the fact that he is a Mormon cause you to not vote for him? Just want to see if people are truly open-minded.

I think it'll be a long time before we get a candidate who says "I don't know" to questions regarding faith. Given that I don't see much difference between mormons, catholics, muslims, jews, and protestants, the particular brand of religion a candidate subscribes to isn't a factor I consider.

I do think he'd have a difficult time resolving mormon teachings with my political views, but since you said to assume he agrees with me, I'll ignore that.

Absolutely. If he agreed with my political views I'd vote for him.

Never!! He'd make everyone wear that funny underwear (what would Hispanics and Italians do??), and impose multiple henpecking wives upon us. (Oh, the humanity..)

We already learned our lesson once when JFK was voted in and he promptly had that tunnel to the Vatican built. Fool us twice, shame on us.

The Mormons aren't open minded, so there's not much reason for voters to hold themselves to a higher standard. That puts high scrutiny on stances Romney makes on gays, abortion, and other issues that are supposed to be private.

The LDS Church was the biggest financial backer of the gay marriage ban initiative in California. It is a highly organized body, making it very effective at implementing its goals.

I personally don't have an issue with his religion, and if I agreed with his platform, and he was the party nominee, I would probably vote for him.

However, I don't think he'll be the nominee.
