A Mormon for president?

Not in the 2012 election.

I suspect less than 10% of the people voting will consider religion as a factor in their choice.

A lot of people base there vote on who will make the best President. That is how i choose who i am going to vote for. Religion and Politics are two different things that shouldn't be mixed together. A lot of people did like John F Kennedy becasue he was Catholic and they said he would make president for that and not be a very good one. They were wrong.

Its ironic how you describe religion: "It is always bigoted, and sometimes filled with hatred of all other religions" compared with how you describe mormonism : "a completely ridiculous story, foolishness, and that he must be an idiot".

Pot, meet kettle. You ARE what you claim religion to be. Biased, hate filled, and ignorant.

The person who invented the Television that you are veiwing this answer is a Mormon (Philo Farnsworth).

The person who invented the modern word processor that you used to type in your question is Mormon (Alan Ashton).

If you are listening to stereophonic sound while you are asking questions or answering questions on Yahoo Answers then that too was invented by a Mormon (Harvey Fletcher... who also invented hearing aids).

Bigotry is never pretty. But fraudulent bigotry is more than petty.

God bless.

Yeah, there is the possibility, there could be a Mormon, as President.... There's about the same chance, there could be a Christian, as President, named Obama... As long as that President, doesn't bring his Religion, & or, try to implement it, into his Presidency... What difference, dose it make... An example of that... I lean hard left, but still, I'm no fan of homosexuals... I really don't think Obama, is all that fond of homosexuals ether, from what he said... But Obama, leaving his religion , at the door, & thinking personal freedoms first... Favored, in favor of, the homosexuals... That's the way a President, from ether party, regardless of their religion, should be...

All I care about a person's religion is whether it teaches you to be a good, caring, honest, and law-abiding citizen. And Romney seems to fit that description just fine. The other trappings that go along with the religion are irrelevant.

Edit:

Tom, I haven't seen a good old-fashioned Christian witch burning in quite awhile. Many religions evolve from their more superstitious or violent past... Others don't.

I'm a Christian who believes in Jesus Christ, not Joseph Smith.

I would never vote for Mitt Romney.

Isn't it amazing how so many keep calling Obama the anti-Christ, yet, when a real anti-Christ individual is running for the highest office in the land, they can't identify him?

well american voters voted in a socialist, who has terrorist friends, convicted felon for friend, and numerous lobbyists and socialist and communist appointments, not even sure that rev wright would be classified as a religious person or that obama would even call himself a christian after attending that church for over 20 years. you did notice rev wright was thrown under the bus.

every stimulus bill was a failure, every repeat stimulus bill was a failure, even the recovery summer and repeat recovery summer stimulus bill failed, and lets not forget the shovel ready stimulus bill, which never even existed, and even obama laughed at that one which was also a failure.

romney, much to the dismay of obama, was a very successful venture capitalist. actually had a phenomenal record at bain of 78% successes. even democrats including clinton are praising romney and what he did.

my vote will not be based on religion, but qualifications for the job. we can all see the impact of the obama qualifications. the debt, 5 trillion in new debt and nothing to show for it, unemployment not going down, 46 million on food stamps, and 1 in 15 is now considered poor. people need jobs and this is something the current administration has no clue how to get this economy going. obama even made the absurd statement last week the "private" sector is doing fine. you have to be able to laugh.

now the obama attempt at venture capitalism, with solyndra and such, was just using tax dollars for political payback to his contributors. losses are over 1 trillion now. not one success. obama success rate 0%.

Romney ran a successful company, had to balance revenue and expenses. obama does not have a clue. we are over 1,100 days now and still no budget. every trillion dollar deficit budget presented by obama did not even get 1 vote from his own party.

4 years ago we saw people jumping on any chance to accuse others of being racist because how cool would it be to prove that we're not racist.

Racism is when you dismiss the credentials of an individual based on his race.

Bigotry is when you dismiss the credentials of an individual based on his religion.

So racism is wrong but bigotry is right?

When it comes to religion you've got Obama who is pro gay marriage, pro abortion, and has Islamic ties (which don't bother me personally since I've educated myself about Islam) and followed Rev Write for years - and you think that makes him more Christian than Romney?

It's sad that people like you can vote.

America voted for Senator Harry Reid, my friend. So think again about smearing Mormons. As, Harry Reid has stated matter of factly that he is Democrat because he is Mormon.

Any other brilliant thoughts on folks being complete idiots?

Look at what a faith produces in the manner of it's people's conduct. Not what it's tenets of faith are. I don't care if Romney worships a watermelon god. He is a decent man.

Where Islam produces Jihad. Black Liberation created a neo fascist POTUS called Obama.
