Mitt Romney seems to be gaining some momentum in these upcoming elections. How would you feel considering he is of the Mormon Faith? Does faith play a prominent role in today's political stage?

As long as he's the best person for the position, his religion wouldn't be a factor.

Let's travel back in time, to about 47 years ago. And, if there was Y!A, R&S, you would see something like this:
"How Would You Feel If The Next Elected President Was "Catholic"?
John F Kennedy seems to be gaining some momentum in these upcoming elections. How would you feel considering he is of a Roman Catholic? Does faith play a prominent role in today's political stage?"

Mitt is a Mormon, I like him. Harry Reid is a Mormon, I hate him. Orin Hatch is a Mormon, I'm so-so on him. See the correlation???
If you think he'll vote in ways that you'd approve of, then support him, otherwise find a candidate that will.
Frankly, I think that it's funny that this argument keeps coming up. None of the other candidates are being criticized for their religion, yet Mitt is "cleaner" than the rest of em. He's not a hypocrite and a liar like Hillary. He's been married once to the same woman (Guliani and others), he's raised a good family (Gore...although not officially running), he's popular in his own state (Edwards) and he's successfully made money without hurting others (Edwards).
He turned a $2 Billion dollar deficit into a $2 Billion dollar surplus in MA without raising taxes or making new ones. I'd like to see a president do that for the country. Not sure if he's my horse or not, but I like what I've seen so far.

The Mormons believe we all lived in Heaven with Heavenly Father, several Heavenly Mothers, and 20 Billion Heavenly Siblings before we were born here on Earth. Then there was a war. The good guys won and were born White. The bad guys lost and became demons. Those who were neutral or did not fight bravely were born with non-white skin. The bravest of the brave were born to Mormon families.
We all know that Romney must have been a "Valliant Warrior" in the "War in Heaven" during the "Pre-Existence". How else could he have been born "White and Delightsome" to an LDS family here on Earth? Heck, he was probably one of the Commanding Generals . Now , America needs a President with valuable military experience like that to get us through our war in Iraq. Could you please ask "The One and Only True Prophet", Gordon Hinkley, to please release those valuable records to the public? We need to know what battles he fought in. How many medals he won. How many of the "Less Valliant Soldiers" he recommended being born with black skin when they got their chance to be born on Earth. Was Al Sharpton one of THEM ? How about Jesse Jackson? Mormons, this is your chance to show the world the light of the everlasting gospel. Dont miss out. We have General Romney running for president of the USA and we need you badly right now!

I won't vote for Romney, but if he were elected and the issue of him being a Mormon came to mind, I would say the Mormon thing doesn't bother me. He would have to do what is Constitutionally right for this country, as long as he doesn't force me to be Mormon then I am Okay if he is a Mormon.

I could care less as long as he doesnt mix his political beliefs with his religious beliefs. Faith does play a prominent role in todays political stage unfortunately. Too many voters actually care what a persons religious beliefs are as if religious beliefs will make them a better leader or a moral person. It is utter nonsense. I personally feel the Mormon faith is completely out there but that is my personal opinion so to each his own as long as it doesnt affect me.

Not going to happen. The Republicans trail the Democrats. I wonder if the Bush Administration has anything to do with that. I wouldn't vote for Mitt Romney because of his politics. His religion doesn't matter that much to me.

It is nothing more than Propaganda that he is a serious contender.
But if it is fixed and he wins? I would be disgusted because anyone who wears "magic" underwear and believes that when they die they become rulers of their own planet is involved in a big time cult, and shouldn't be a leader of ANYTHING! The Mormons are nothing more than a corporation with a warped view of cults that they go by.
Not only that but the Christians Conservatives wont ever vote for him.
Many people just wouldn't vote.

What has religion got to do with this? As long as a president upholds the Constitution and act on behalf of the American people I will forgive them for being religious.

I would have no problem with a Mormon president, as long as I don't have to pay a tithe to the Mormon Church.
