Burying Mitt

. . . and I'm quite sick of people claiming that those in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) are not Christian. I've lived in Utah as well as other parts of the world/country, and find that most Mormons are a cut above the rest. If they're not Christian, they still live more Christ-like lives than most i've met. If what they believe is weird to you, fine; but to say that they don't believe in Christ as the son of God or that He is somewhat diminished in their faith is patently false and dishonest. I'm of the opinion that it was his faith, and not his politics that buried Romney. While on business I personally spoke to three people in the South who told me they could not vote for him soley on his religion -- because their preacher told them he wasn't Christian. Too many bigots, too many people who would not vote for a Mormon. It's a sad comentary on America.

Wow, isn't religion supposed to teach people to love one another depsite their differences or beliefs. I hope the people of this fine country vote for someone because of what they can do for their country and not for what their religion is about. It is a sad day in this country's history if people cannot get past the color of a man's skin, the religion he believes in or the fact that a woman could be president. There is no need to bash a candidate when all you have to do is vote and you will be heard.

As for Mr.Fineman and his article, it seems that a very large portion of those who read his article DO NOT agree with what he said. In this day and age of technology, the media now understands how much power they truly have to sway the thoughts of the people in this country when it comes to politics. maybe we should consider not allowing CNN or MSNBC to PREDICT any winners. People in California do watch TV and use the internet. As much as we would like to believe a person will vote for who they like no matter what happens, seeing the results too soon does sway the voters to change their minds.

OH wait, CNN is predicting that Hilalry Clinton will win every state in November. Oh well, I guess there is no resaon for me to vote now.

Maybe this article by Mr. Fineman is more of a jewish / mormon thing. Just a thought.

This sir is one of the most disgusting pieces of ???journalism??? that I have ever encountered. Although I have always respected your writing, I am distressed and repelled by your bold faced bigotry towards Governor Romney.

Surprising from a man of your reputation. Surprised at how you passed off this piece of bigoted yellow journalism as ???news??? past your respected editorial staff.

You have chosen to take the one decent and honest man in this race and dismiss him and all that he stands for under the wheels of your open bigotry.

Why not report the out and out disingenuity and very personal attacks of Senator McCain and Governor Huckabee towards Romney while he has remained above the personal attacks. Or the open Pharisaical attitude of Mike Huckabee (doing God???s work by destroying the Mormon)? Huckabee = the ???genuine article???? Heaven forbid!

Is this really politically correct 21st-century America in which we live? Bigotry of this sort against Jews or blacks or Muslims (heaven forbid) or Baptists, etc. would draw the certain wrath of the ACLU, NAACP, et al. Why is Mitt Romney and his faith such open game for your rancorous bigotry?

Would love for you to explain.

testpattern--you certailny do not know mormon women or the principles taught in the mormon faith-- what nonsense you spew--where in the world do you get your facts (not)? How un-American!
Let's get to politics and stop bashing people for their faith. Don't you have any decency?
Is this what your faith teaches you--to bad mouth and trod on others' beliefs if they do not coincide with yours?
Please stop spreading lies and go get informed. You are ridiculously ignorant.

Mormons or members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints do not do anything to degrade women. In fact, they are set upon a higher degree of respect by the men in their church. They are not issued into heaven by their husbands. Everyone is allowed into heaven no matter their faith or status! God loves all of His children! Going through the veil refers to other sacred ordinances. It is often said "by their fruits ye shall know them". The LDS church has a record of outstanding humanitarian service throughout the whole world, not to mention their wonderful ideas of building up family values to help our future society have a good base which to build upon. If you really need to question whether this Church is full of good works all you need to do is visit any church meeting in your area and see for yourself. It teaches loves and happiness and how to return with honor to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I feel sorry to see sad things written toward this church by misinformed individuals who are getting their information from other sources rather from the source itself. I wouldn't dream of degrading another religion! A lot of great people belong to other religions! May you all find the peace you need in your chosen religions as I have found in mine. I am a happy LDS woman who is in every way completely equal to my husband, and thrilled that he is my best friend also! Have a nice day!

*** He is a true statesman...Maybe you are unfamiliar with what a statesman is; read about any of the founding fathers. His campaign was derailed not because he is a phony man but a phony politician; trying to be something he is not. ***

HA HA HA. Hilarious. I looked up "statesman" in dictionary and it turns out it's not a synonym for "phony politician." Just a little hint for you.

You are right about Mitt Romney trying to be something he is not; but you are wrong on what it is; He is a true statesman; not a patriot; not a Washington bleeding liberal or a Republican who only cares about the power and the money and the historical fame.
Maybe you are unfamiliar with what a statesman is; read about any of the founding fathers.
His campaign was derailed not because he is a phony man but a phony politician; trying to be something he is not. Sleep on that and hopefully you will wake a true christian and a statesman yourself.

This author is obviously uninformed or terribly biased. John McCainn has double-talked and flip-flopped on a number of issues. Mitt Romney simply took the high road - he obviously cares about our country and the Republican party more than exalting himself, unlike Huckabee or Paul. He was ahead of both of those in delegates, yet he is the one dropping out. You tell me who is soulless. This article was absolute trash. I am a Republican, haven't ever voted another way, but I can tell you this much, McCainn will not be getting my vote, not after what was pulled in W Virginia. Shame on you Huckabee and McCainn, cheers to Romney. You are the only one leaving with any honor.

The author of this article is clearly uninformed or just biased. McCainn not only flip-flops, he double-talks, and Romney still would be a much more serious contender than Huckabee or Paul, but he had the love of this Republican party and country over himself and graciously stepped down - Something Huckabee and Paul have refused to do. Shame on Huckabee and congratulations to Romney. He was the most qualified candidate and yes he had the courage to step down. I don't know how you call that soulless in light of what McCainn and Huckabee pulled in W Virginia and Huckabee has done throughout the entire campaign. I am a republican, but McCainn will most certainly not be getting my vote.

This sums it up: "But maybe he really is a soulless throat-cutter who would do and say anything to win".
It's also the perception of the Clinton's, as well as the Bush/Rove administratiion.
The country is tired of it and it's a sure losing formula for 2008.

This quote "But maybe he really is a soulless throat-cutter who would do and say anything to win." also summarizes the Clintons and Bush.
We are tired of all that.

Christ told the thief next to him on the cross "today you will be with me in paradise" But thre days later when mary saw him he said "touch me not for I have not yet ascended to my father and your father, my god and your god" So,where did the thief go??? Not to god because Christ said he would be with him that day, but that day he wan't with god. So, testpattern, he wasn't saved but was given a chance.

Most people understand that just because Romney's religion has "Jesus Christ" in its name, that doesn't mean his religion believes that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Christians do not believe that one can themselves become a god, like Romney's religion believes. If you truly understand what Christian means, you would know that Romney's religion is not a sect of Christianity. If Christianity was a tree, with Catholic, Protestant, Lutheran being branches on that tree, Romney's religion is a bush planted away from that tree. I am not trying to say anthing negative or offensive about Romney's religion. I just get tired when it is correctly pointed out that it is truly not a Christian religion. As Jerry Seinfeld would say, "not that there's anything wrong with that".

You mormons/morons are too much fun

TESTPATTERN - it's MORMON you MORON.
