Mitt Romney's New Hampshire Stakes

Geoff of NY . . . Get a grip on reality. I don't agree with catholics and the worship of idols, but I'll vote for a catholic when I think the have they posses the ability to lead.
I don't know much about Jehova Witnesses, but I'll stand shoulder to shoulder with the folks who are. Why? Because the people I know are good, decent, hard working, committed, honorable people who just happen to think differently than I do about certain things.
I had a Army Captain who was Baptist. I would do anything for him. He magnified his beliefs through his actions. His motives were never in question. He was and is a good and decent man. I should be lucky to stand in his shadow. I would follow him through the gates of hell despite the fact that I happen to think differently about certain things.
Regardless, Romney professes a belief in God. The problem with Americans and conservatives is we get hung-up on God. What's the big deal? I think God is NOT a baptized Catholic, Mormon, Baptist, Presbyterian (sp?), etc. In fact, I doubt God is even affiliate with a specific religion. Just my personal perspective. However, what I find meaningful is that my leader have a profound and strong belief and respect for God . . . regardless of the religious affiliation. Because, from religion, I at least know that they've been taught morals, values, integrity, principles. With that comes an expectation that the politician have and adhere to morals, values, integrity, and principles.
I find it patently hypocritical for someone like to publically profess deep Christian values and core beliefs but then lead a personal life devoid of them.

Where do you dig up these factoids? Gave me a laugh.
I am a Huntsman fan, too, but he still isn't going to make it. Romney seems like a decent man--however I am still in the Obama camp. His economic policies are beginning to bear fruit. I am afraid that a Romney/Christie might beat the Dems. However, an Obama/Hilary ticket would be a winner! Joe Biden did not help the ticket.
If anyone from abroad watched the Republican debates, what a bunch of idiots they must think we are!

Romney will win big! He's the best candidate that we have to go up against Obama and GOP voters know it! Romney 2012!!

Agree entirely about Huntsman. For him, he can count it a win if he beats expectations. But if either he or Romney hope to be President of all the American people, they must disavow publicly the Mormon practice of 'converting' people who are _already dead_ to Mormonism, just as John F. Kennedy declared publicly that he would not take direction from the Roman pontiff. Making as if to 'convert' dead people is profoundly disrespectful of practitioners of other religious faiths, living or dead.
