Recently there was an article that asked the question "Can Christians Ever Vote for Mormons?"
I http://lastresistance.com/25/can-christ ... r-mormons/
I would like to ask can Ex-Mo's ever vote for a Mormon? Is discuss and distaste about Mormonism so great that you could not vote for any Mormon?

Vote for a Mormon? Sure.
Vote for Mitt? Not me.

Show me a good Mormon who is a solid Liberal candidate with the right ideas and I'll vote for him or her any day.

Do you live in Nevada? If so, I believe there is a Senator from Nevada that is looking for your vote.

I don't live in Nevada, but Reid has done a great job of demonstrating that it is possible to be both a respectable Democrat and a faithful Mormon.

Romney's Mormonism has nothing to do with my opinion of his politics and competence. I haven't decided if I'll vote for Obama or not, but it's not because Romney's a Mormon.

In my state (Washington) it doesn't really matter who I vote for. Obama is winning it. So my only question is ... should I give Romney a sympathy vote. Or, maybe maybe vote Third Party and place a protest vote. Such a quandary...

I could, but not for Romney. I saw Huntsman on Colbert last week, and I thought he was great. Not sure I would vote for him ultimately, but his being a Mormon would not be a deal-breaker for me.

You cannot be a good Mormon and a good republican. Bcspace will have to decide which one he will choose. He cannot be both.
