Mitt Romney raised the captial gains tax, legislated gay civil unions, and voted for Paul Tsongas in 1992.
How does Mitt's liberal history compliment Mormons?!?
This article is an example of poor journalism.
Every time Mitt Romney passes a reporter, the PRESS decides he represents "mormonism." That does not make it true. No one cares what Mitt Romney did in 1992, they care what he will do in 2009. No mormon is asking Mitt Romney's record to "compliment" them ... whatever THAT means. The article simply presents the opinions of a few members of the same church. Don't like it? Don't get it? That's okay.
suzyk - thank you!! for reminding me that God is still in charge. Yes, if He wants Mitt Romney to become the next President of the United States, it will happen. Perhaps all these folks should do more praying that God's will be done ... and less murmuring on the DN publications. They might even pray that TODAY'S leaders of our nation will seek and follow the Lord.
This article mentioned Joseph Smith's claims to have seen God and Jesus and then being visited by an angel, a Book of Mormon prophet named Moroni, that had been dead for 1400 years.
The Bible condemns the consulting with familiar spirits (Deut. 18:10-12).
And yes, people do care about what Mitt or any other candidate has done in the past because it shows what kind of integraty they have had and will have in the future.
Being raised in the LDS church, they taught us openly that other religions were the whore of Babylon and to stay away from them.
If Christian churches are teaching about Mormonism it is to warn them of these teachings that are contrary to traditional Christianity. Christian churches are not afraid of the LDS or their church, they are only trying to warn their people about Mormonism.
