Sorry Sandra but you are the misinformed or ignorant one. Mormonism is a cult, it is no form of Christianity whatsoever, please do some research before posting your POLITCALLY CORRECT post. You have no clue what you are talking about and your leftist veiw is naive and foolish.

Why should Romney's past experience as an LDS bishop be regarded any different at Huckabee's being a preacher?

And who gives evangelical baptists or any other denomination the right to decide if another religion is 'christian' or not?

If you don't like Romney's platforms, if you don't think he would be a good president, FINE, don't vote for him. But it is incredibly rude and degrading to say that he is incapable because of his religion. Grow up.

That said, people need to become aware that most orthodox, denominational Christians today would consider Mormonism to be "Christian" to the same degree that Mormonism itself considers all other organized denominations to be acceptable before God.

All of them. All Catholics, all Protestants, Judaism, Islam, etc. Every single one…

The response of non-Mormon believers to Mormon teachings is simply an honest reaction to what has been dealt to them.

WOW! This speaks for itself! I wonder why so many think that Mormon's aren't Christian! They have been preached it! I say let them decide for themselves, and actually learn from the source if they want to know. I don't go to a catholic to ask what the baptists believe in, I ask a baptist.

The bottom line is that if he is a former Baptist minister, he takes issue with Mormon teaching. But as president, he has to choose his issues.

Education, the war, the cost of energy, mortgage rates, debt . . . those are the issues I hope he speaks out about.

You may want to get a refund from that mind reading class!

AJ,

I have to give you credit. At least your hatred is consistent!

Don't kid yourself. Politics and religion have been mixing for a while now. If Huckabee is an Evangelical, then it's clear what he really believes about Mormonism whether he's stating it publically or not at this time.

He vastly pails when you stack him up to any other candidate on the GOP ticket. The only thing he has is a bunch of fellow church members that want another election based on only religion and not qualifications.

"we ought to be talking about education, health care, etc" then why is the only thing you speak of and put in ads about "Christian leader", Baptist Minister, and avoid the real issues with some stupid joke?????

A theocratic political party is inherently unstable. And it is always in danger of nominating a candidate whose thinking is so dominated by his religious convictions that he's incapable of critical thinking. Remind you of anybody?

But this is exactly what the Republican base seems to want. I hope they're happy now that they have it.

AMERICANS, well myself anyways, would love to know what you think of the MORMON faith! ITS NOT just cuz your running for President that you shouldnt answer this question, you dont answer it because you well know that the back lash would Kill your campaign!

maybe you should read some letters from x-mormons and give them a Presidential Pardon, or maybe not even read the letters!
LMAO

And i think it was awful telling that Mr. Huckabee didnt jump at the chance to call out Mr. Romney at the CC/Youtube debate when he flat out LIED and said he believed the bible that the kid was holding and asked specifically about. Mormons have their own bible – its completely different. Romney nearly peed his pants out of fright...and then Mike let him get away with it. Hmmmm. Looks like someone is still trolling for that VP nomination.

Uhh, wrong!
And to belabor the obvious, any religion that claims Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior is a Christian religion. You're sitting at a computer, surely you've heard of Google. Inform yourself before posting such idiocies, moron.

The furor with which anti-Mormon sentiment has spewed out in these political columns (and more especially in the commentary), and in the push-polls, betrays a kind of feverish frenzy of the part of the anti-Mormons to hurt not just Mitt Romney but all Mormons. One has to wonder why. Certainly they believe they are right and therefore the Mormons must be wrong. But then, of course the Mormons must also believe in their own position, and yet the hate only seems to flow in one direction.

What emerges is that we have two groups that both claim to be followers of Christ. One is slavering and chomping at the bit to denigrate, degrade, defame, and discredit the other. The other tries to defend itself where it can, but its members are often forced to answer simply that this is their belief, that they feel that God has witnessed to them of its truth. And this answer is simply sneered at. The question of who, if any, of these groups is Christian becomes as ironic as it is trivial.

This isn't just religious discrimination. That would be not hiring someone or perhaps not voting for someone on account of their religious beliefs (though the latter of course is not illegal and shouldn't be). No, this is simply hate and the highest order of religious intolerance. It's not enough to simply exclude. They feel the need to pour their acid down the throat of every Mormon, to punish them for their beliefs.

The trouble Mitt's been getting on account of all this just reveals the tip of an iceberg that's been floating along in this country for 175 years.

And LDS is NOT Christianity! The Mormon church's current President, Prophet, Seer and Revelator Gordon B. Hinckley said in 1998 that "The traditional Christ of whom they [people outside the church] speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. He together with his father, appeared to the boy Joseph Smith in the year 1820, and when Joseph left the grove that day, he knew more of the nature of God than all the learned ministers of the gospel of the ages." Joseph Smith later wrote the Book of Mormon. LDS teaches that Jesus is the brother of Satan.
