I certainly would before I would vote for Obama. Mormonism is a very small sect, and there is no possibility whatever that it could “take over the country” if Romney is elected. Not that I expect him to be elected, because the left will “Mormon” him to death if he’s the nominee.

By the way, the CIA and FBI actively recruit Mormons because their loyalty to the country is exemplary, and they’re not given to many vices.

They also are very family oriented. As long as Romney is strongly pro-life and against same sex marriage I might vote for him.

I live among Mormons and although they don’t have the true religion, they are good people.

What makes you say that Obama has no discernible faith? He attended a specific Church for many years. His faith may not hold the same exact moral and social principles as yours (or mine)–and neither does Romney’s faith–but Obama does consider himself Christian. What discernible faith did Reagan, for example, have? Not that church attendance is necessarily the be-all and end-all of having faith, but I recall Reagan made a ridiculous excuse as to why he didn’t go to Church, namely, it might endanger the lives of other church attendees in case there were a bomb explosion.

Supporting unrestricted abortion and since he’s against the NOM makes me believe that he either has no faith, or superficial. He is also soft toward same sex marriage. which is against the Ten Commandments.

I think that even if he was a Moslem, he would be against these things.

Pataki could be a viable candidate; he’s moderate, a compromiser, listens to both sides of a story without reacting with a knee jerk reaction and he’s respected. He’d likely garner mainstream republicans and many right leaning independents. A nice replacement for Pawlenty.

Moderate? A nice replacement for Pawlenty? I don’t think so. Pataki is so pro-abortion that he says if Roe v Wade was reversed that States should keep abortion legal!

Two other candidates are in the running … maybe.

Chris Christie of New Jersey.

George Pataki of New York.

When I was in the States for the Summer I heard Christie’s name bandied about by a few people, which surprised me. I’ve been expecting him to make some kind of move in the future, but not during this election. Besides, hasn’t he had health problems recently. I thought he was in the hospital this summer, but I’m not really sure why or how serious his condition was. Still, now that his name has been mentioned, imagine a Perry ~ Christie ticket. Does it sound a bit over the top?

Just a small correction:
The huge difference between Muslim and Christian ethics is that the former doesn’t look at the human person but is based on the separation between believer and nonbeliever. So for most Muslims there would be no problem with abortions among nonbelievers.
 
Christie: Climate change is real

Chris Christie made clear he falls in the Jon Huntsman camp as opposed to the Rick Perry camp on the scientific-political issue of the week in the Republican primary:

In vetoing a bill (S2946) that would have required New Jersey to stay in a regional program intended to curb greenhouse gases — a program Christie plans to leave by the end of the year — the governor said “climate change is real.”
He added that “human activity plays a role in these changes” and that climate change is “impacting our state.”
Christie’s words are his strongest to date in regards to climate change, a hot-button issue among the same conservatives nationwide who are clamoring for the governor to enter the 2012 presidential race.

Well, that will certainly put a bullet in the head of his Presidential aspirations.
 
I’m actually liking Huntsman more and more these days. And with global warming, I think people have been exaggerating and exploiting it for political purposes. I don’t think its as much as a threat as Al Gore claims and I don’t think its mostly man made, but I’m not gonna deny it.

I don’t know about Huntsman. At the last debate he looked seasick.

I thought he did great at the debate. I thought Newt did the best job at the debate and Huntsman came a close second for me. That’s saying a lot from a Ron Paul supporter.

Jon Huntsman is a Centrist (which means neither party will nominate him, but he may be the strongest general election candidate now running.) :rolleyes:

I’m actually curious as to what everyone sees in Palin. It’s nothing personal, but doesn’t she have just as much political experience as Obama had, if not less? I mean, I agree with her on some issues, but at this point, I would like a leader with experience, not a former mayor/governor who resigned. Perhaps if she ran for a Senate seat, then moved on in the future…I don’t know, there’s just something about her I don’t like…

She’s hot? 😉 😛

Okay…I would vote for her, but she’s not my first choice. Then again, I don’t really have a first choice yet.
