Granted - yes they won't think "with a Christian mind" when they make decisions. But give some examples of decisions or things a Mormon would do that would be so bad? Actual things they would do if elected that would hurt you personally.
ANSWER WITH AN EXAMPLE PLEASE.

Yes examples are needed. You can't go through life only giving oppurtunity and leadership to people who follow G-d in the exact same way you do. That is elitist and wrong. I can understand if as a Mormon he would do something different that would affect you. Give me an example and show me this - otherwsie you are just racist and think your people are more superior than everyone else.

Ok...let's say the anwerer is right..I don't know for sure about hating black people and thinking woman are second class. You didn't actually say what that would result in.
Are you saying that if a Mormon was president they would actually enslave black people, have them all executed or shipped away? Are you also saying he will ban woman from working and repeal rape laws? PLEASE clarify. All you've done is talk about their beliefs (which I am not so sure are believed by common day Mormons)

I'm noiticing a trend. The ones who mention G-d in their answers are the same ones who don't answer the question. I ASKED FOR EXAMPLES OF WHAT A MORMON WOULD DO IF ELECTED. Not what their religion believes.

Mormons are Christians....but some people are too blind to see that(maybe not you, but others are too blinded by their closed minds to see.)
I don't think *HE* can do anything different. Anyone who says he'll allow polygamy, or ban coffee and tea, or something like that has no clue about the LDS church, or how our government works.

Enough politicians have claimed to stand for this or that because of their religion and because they pray. Simply because someone goes to church or prays does not make them a good President. It takes more than that and if I don't see and hear good answers based on something other than religious beliefs, that person is not going to get my vote.
Actually, I believe that since you want examples of what could happen: anything do to with women's rights when it comes to health issues would no longer be decided by the woman but by anyone else - especially her husband even if they were divorced. That seems to be the growing trend .

I think that Mitt Romney (because I assume you are discussing him) has been very good at keeping his religion out of politics. Which is how it should be, don't you think?
I don't care if my president is Jewish or Buddhist or Bahai or Mormon (and I'm a Mormon)...I want him (her) to be honourable and decent. I want a president with personal and moral integrity. I want a president to be able to defend liberty for everyone and uphold the Constitution and laws of the land. I want a president who is not going to drive me into the poorhouse by taxing me to death for stupid social programs which aren't going to work. (Hmmm...notice how I'm describing the opposite of Hillary? Isn't that interesting?)
A Mormon president would not proselyte the religion. He would leave that to the missionaries, who teach only those who want to be taught.

Well, according to his own doctrine , which he states that he is a Mormon.
1) Dark skinned people are not really people. They are lessor beings.
2) Women are to be submissive to all men and hold no power over any man. If a wife does not please her husband up to his or her death, he can "choose" not to bring her to his new planet with him in which he needs to populate.
This is the main reason polygamy was given so much importance. A man needed more than one wife for this control issue to work.
These two issues alone would make for literal havoc in our governmental offices.
WHY? Because unlike Christian churches and denominations, if a Mormon goes against mormon doctrine, he or she is ostrasized and all that Mormon money would fade into the wind, and Romney knows better than to kill his cash cow.
He does not value human life, because Mormons believe you can grant salvation to the dead, he also believes that he can marry a dead woman, therefore giving him the multiple wives that he will need in order to populate his new planet after he becomes equal to our Creator.
There is no such thing as submission for a male in the world of Mormons. they all strive to become the very one that created them and my bible states that it is the same thing that caused the devil to lose his status as head of the angels, wanting to become the very one that created him.

Well since you asked in such a respectful and compassionate manner, I will be more than happy to answer your question.
If the president is a Mormon, it will give more creditability to that religion. The War of Souls is more important than anything else on Earth, and I personally believe that Mormon doctrine is not Christian, it is heretical in nature.

Ugh. Personally, I think it all sounds like:
"His crazy bulls**t is slightly different than my crazy bulls**it."
They're esentially the same. It's one of the reasons I won't vote for him.
Ron Paul all the way.

He is not seeking the Spirit of God, the true God, Jehovah...no examples are needed.
