Imagine you were going to vote for a republican, even if you never would. Would the fact that Mitt Romney is a Mormon make you not vote for him?

As I believe that religion has no place in politics, I would not make it a condition of my vote. As long as he didn't make religion (any religion) a part of his campaign, I wouldn't make it a part of my vote...

The fact that Romney is a Mormon would have no effect on my decision to vote for him. When you get a little older and get out into the world you will find that your irrational fear of people who practice other religions is something that is likely to hold you back, prevent you from having a better life, and limit your ability to understand the world around you. Why heck you may even gain enough wisdom to someday be a Republican. My best wishes for your speedy recovery from a life time of liberal bigotry

Every election the First Presidency of the Mormon church has a letter read that basically says that the church does not support any candidate and the buildings cannot be used for politics, nor can they be discussed from the stand, yada, yada, yada. Having said that, there are 7 million LDS of which about 4.5 are of voting age. If they all did vote for Romney, that would not be enough votes.

I'm still undecided on Romney... sometimes I like him then other times I see him as the republican version of the moron Kerry...
as far as religion that should have no bearing on who we elect... just as abortion and gay rights should have no bearing on who we elect as president... these things do nothing but create divisions and create a society where people vote based solely on someone's stance on these social issues that have absolutely nothing to do with how they will lead our country or address the real problems we have...
show me your plans for economy, taxes, foreign policy, immigration, national security, welfare, social security and leave the BS out of it

I don't look at a candidate's religion. I look at how they stand on the issues. I vote for the candidate that comes closest to my own beliefs on the issues. We will not likely agree on everything but whoever comes closest gets my vote. I don't look at gender or race either.

i would not let the fact that he is a Mormon stop me from voting for him, it is still to early to even start casting my vote though so i reserve judgment till later

They questioned JFK because he was Catholic. Religion has nothing to do with the capabilities of a candidate.
BTW, MORMONS ARE NOT WEIRD! Hey Vincent, we are not a sect! We are a religion that believes in Christ - Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!

People voted for J. Kennedy even though he was a Catholic, so what? Yes, if I think he is the best candidate I would vote for him.

I plan on voting for a Republican, but not Mitt. His support of a mandatory medical insurance bill in his state has branded him as a socialist in my book. He'd institute the same idiocy on a national level if he took office. NO THANKS!
BTW: I'm a non-practicing Mormon.
