Romney’s Pollster Weighs In On ’08er’s Religion
EmailABC News’ Teddy Davis Reports: The topic of religion — and whether the United States would elect a Mormon president — came up during a Thursday panel discussion sponsored by The Hotline and the University of Virginia on the 2008 Republican presidential candidates.
Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) was represented on the panel by his pollster, Jan van Lohuizen, who said that the polling on whether Americans would never vote for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is "really mixed."
"Some people say it’s a problem to more than 40%," said Van Lohuizen. “Other people say 20%."
He noted, however, that those numbers rest on the assumption that someone’s choice for president comes down to "this and only this."
"Okay, we’re not going to run on the Mormon ticket," said Van Lohuizen. "We got it."

Romney Is UNelectable.
Mormon or not, He’s dangerous and
UNtrustworthy. A “say anything fraud”
After Bush, all America wants in a president is stable and trustworthy. Romney is neither.

The Mormon religion teaches that all “Christian” religions are false religions. So, why should I vote for a candidate who believes that my form of Christianity is unacceptable to my God, but his form of “Christianity” will result in his becoming a god?
From my point of view, I can vote against that guy everytime.

I can appreciate the concern some raise about the LDS church considering itself the only correct religion. However, the same can be said of the Catholic church who believes that one only “reverts” to the Church as there is only one true church (Catholics). Further, many other christian churches basically argue the same thing by saying that Mormons and Catholics are wrong and of the devil, leaving their own ministries as correct.
