Mitt Romney is only one of many Mormon's in politics. He also has a great record for relieving debt!

It shouldn't matter what religion they are. I'd hope our country would be over that. Religion and government don't mix, but that doesn't mean that the benefits of being a religious person could be comforting (like honesty, family oriented, faith and encouragement, etc.). The Mormon religion doesn't tell you how to vote, but that you should be involved in your community and should be educated on the issues. There are Mormons who are both Democrat and Republican (Harry Ried and Orin Hatch respectively). So, when it comes down to it believe Mitt would be a very good candidate. He's one of those people you look at and could see as president and someone you could trust. He has done great things in business and government, working with both parties. Hopefully, people will put ignorance or biasis aside and just vote for the best man.

It would depend solely on the person's political viewpoints in regards to the bill of rights budget and monetary policy and their social policy. If the man/ woman is running as a morman presidential candidate there is a good chance that i would not as i do not believe that a person's religous beliefs have anything to do with politics in this country. My problem with the acknowledgment of persnal beliefs in a political contest is not anything against the religion but rather it is in my opinion a statement made in order to validate certain moral standings without actually investing time and energy into actually living and leading a life followed by these principals. Too many people are quick to vote for someone with their same beliefs and fail to further study their actual day to day lives and how they make decsions in the political arena.

People always seem to fear what they don't understand. Just what has this man done that would indicate he would not be a good leader. I dare say I really could'nt tell you what religious affilliation any of the presidents were, because it really does'nt matter what religion they are. What matters is if they apply any of it to be a man of moral character and action. Religion does not exalt a man nor does power, the truly wise man can use both to not only benefit himself but a great many around him.

I would because I do not believe that a person's religion affects their ability to govern. There was a HUGE controversy before JFK was elected (Repubs said if we elected hm the pope would run the country, he had to say that his religion would not dictate how he governed. And I'm pretty sure Nixon was a Quaker, coming from a peace church sure didn't stop him from bombing Cambodia.)
That being said I would not vote for this particular Mormon (Romney) because I disagree with almost everything he says and he started to flip on issues when it appeared likely he would run for higher office (stem cell for one).

Actually Nixon was a Mormon. He was a good president till Watergate.

Sure. Romney has done wonders as Governor of Mass. and was popular with both parties. He would be a great president.

I'm sick and frigging tired of religious presidents.
I want a president that abhors religion, and adores the constitution.
