Sure why not? As long as he/she knows their politics... and has a good plan and is not an idiot

Why should this even matter? The only people who would answer "no" could only be prejudiced; someone more concerned with their own religious superiority than the actual political and social issues at stake when electing a new official to office.
I'm mormon. Am I going to vote for the mormon for president? Not necessarily. I'm going to vote for the candidate who best represents my political views regardless of his or her religious ideas (which usually means libertarian, but not always). I think everyone else should do the same.

A "mormon" is a christian and I think I would vote for someone more on their views than their religion.

Well, at a first glance, no i could not. I had stated in an answer to a Q on Mitt Romney's speech, that i would "rather have an athiest in the White House than someone with a 'god complex'... as we already have enough of those - we don't need one in the White House." **(please read ALL of my answer to that Q if there is curiousity; don't judge by one cited sentence!)**
But i spoke to my mom on it. (she is a christian as well) and she did bring up a good point. She said that at least Mormons, though they are not Christians, have a sense of family and morals. (on this issue I do agree very much so!) And she said that she would rather have someone, even if they are not Christian, but of whom possesed good morals in the White House, then an athiest. AS, at least Mitt Romney believes in God, whereas an athiest has no such regard for Him.
Even so, i told her, there are plenty of Athiests with Good Morals who wouldn't expell the religious freedoms that our constitution allows, and provides. But, that is a very fine line, and a hard thing to determine.
As it is, I am hoping that John McCain is in the running as he would have my vote, without a doubt. I WILL NEVER vote for Hillary or Obama! *ever!!!!* BUT, I am guessing, that if it comes down to Mitt and one of those two, (hillary or obama) I am going to have to vote for Mitt.
But I am crossing my fingers and praying it's McCain!!!
Though Gulianni presents a good candidate as well i think!

*edit* oh wait, nevermind. you will not be able to read the Answer i am referring to. I went back through my Q&A. It seems someone must've reported either my answer, or the person's Question, as it has been deleted. *sighs*
Also, it's not necessarily the fact that he is Mormon, but that does play a small part. Though other issues are MORE important. The only Mormons I would vote for, as being a FIRST choice.... would be Donnie & Marie LOL. Maybe one of them should run for president!! lmAo hehe

I live in the highest concentrated population of Mormons in the world. I have seen what it is when they run the government. They DO NOT have separate church and state as Kennedy did. Also they are not just practitioner every man in their religion is a "priesthood holder" (so mtch YES he is a Mormon Minister) and it is their duty to serve their church and congregation in all things in life above all else and evangelize in anyway they can, and. So no I could not.
Ontop of that he is a republican so double NO.

Do you mean would I let his PAGAN ideals affect my voting record, no! He's entitled to his PAGAN religious beliefs just as any other CHRISTAIN is. Look, even JFK got elected despite his PAGAN beliefs, so what does that tell ya.
These are the beliefs this country was founded on, just ask any good SUNDAY church goer.....they'll tell ya!

Yes, if their political views are consistent with Christian values.

for me, the platform of the canidate is more of important than a person's religion. Just because a person is of a diffrent sect of the same religion, or a diffrent religion all together doesn't make them a bad person. if the platform is something you agree with, then vote for them, and don't worry about it. if you don't agree with a platform them then vote for them.
