What did you think of Mitt Romney's speech regarding his faith and his politics?

Question

Quite frankly, I'm not a Mitt fan, but I think his speech and his approach to the topic was brilliant. I think this one speech will be the deciding factor for many that will deliver him the nomination of his party. As far as a speaker goes, I don't think there is another candidate from either side that can come accross as genuine as he just did. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I am a Dem and I agree. There isn't one thing he said that I disagree with. The speech was great.

It makes me a little less desirable of Mike Huckabee and his "Christian Candidate" tactics.

I think he is on his way to the nomination.

Answer 2

Mitt Romney's Mormon faith isn't a controversy for me. My mothers and dads have been elementary Methodists, taking me and my 3 youthful siblings to Sunday college and church centers each Sunday till we graduated from intense college. We attended Methodist young babies Fellowship each Sunday evening till now the evening provider. We attended the Methodist Church Camp each summer season, (2 weeks) the place we've been inundated with Methodism. As a youthful college pupil, I studied with 2 youthful missionaries from the Mormon Church. 2 reasons i did no longer connect them have been: (a million) The Mormon Church would not condone tobacco, and that i smoked; (2) The Mormon Church would not condone using caffein or alcohol, and that i cherished my tea, pop, and beer! Mitt Romney, as a Mormon, has exemplary relatives and social values. As a voter, his political stance on China, Afghanistan, the Sudan, Cuba, Venezuela, and Mexico are greater significant to me than his "Mormonism".

Answer 3

The whole scenario just reeks of inquisition . . . do you really think he would have given the speech if he were an Evangelical? These people (evangelicals) are dangerous to the democracy. They have used their religion for political gain and treated the Constitution like a piece of toilet paper. A vote for Mike Huckabee is a vote for stake burning. Hopefully the new waive of evangelicals will be more tolerant of others.

Answer 4

It sounded just like George W. Bush when he ran for President - saying things that anyone could take to mean whatever they want it to. Just look at how Triumph (above) bought it. Romney is the worst kind of religious zealot - an extreme right-wing politician, and not to be trusted. If you liked Bush, you're gonna love this character...

Answer 5

Haven't seen it yet. It should never have been an issue and is unfair to Romney.

As for Romney himself, he is the biggest shape shifting flip-flopper on the GOP roster. He is phony as the universe is vast. He lied when he claimed to have changed his opinion on abortion in 2004. The proof is in his recorded pro-abortion speech in 2005. Mitt is a joke and will say whatever it takes to get elected into whatever office he is running for at the time.

Answer 6

I think he eloquently seperated the ideas of faith, religion, and politics when he said, "No candidate should become the spokesman for his faith. For if he becomes president, he will need the prayers of the people of all faiths"

I'm not a Mitt fan either, but bravo.

Answer 7

I personally think he spoke too long but it did seem to hit the mark politically. Wonder what non-believers think?

Answer 8

Knowing the history of Mormonism and what they believe, I couldn't vote for him anyway. I lived in a largely Mormon community for over 15 years. He can talk all he wants, but it will only affect voters who don't know anything about Mormonism.

Answer 9

He HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK... God Bless America...

"any man who kneels to pray is a friend of mine" amazing!

Answer 10

I think the Mormon Religion is very sick.

I also think anyone that would follow that racist religion is also sick.
