		<description>"Gene, having a problem with someone’s religion is sick. What if he was Jewish? Would you demand he convert to Christianity? That’s what disturbs me the most about anti-Mormon bigots."

Oh please, spare me the inane melodrama, will you? Having a problem with someone's religion is "sick"? So you NEVER use the term "cult", you think Jim Jones and his followers should be respected, you defend Scientology, and so on? No, you're just another hypocrite who pretends to be "oh so offended" by so-called "bigotry" against Mormons strictly because right now, today, the guy you wanna vote for is a Mormon. You won't hold your tongue in other instances, because there are far too many instances of insanity and cults and rational people realize this.

I guess you also aren't a Christian, right? Since you seem NOT to grasp that Christianity DOES tell us to preach the gospel and try to win converts to our Lord, to save their souls. Ya know who ELSE does that, Steve? I'll give you a hint: they ride around on bicycles with white shirts, black ties, and go door to door trying to convince people to let them into their homes and then convert them. Yeah, Mormons, Steve. 

That's a mighty broad standard you assert there, Steve. "Having a problem with someone's religion" -- you do understand that most religions teach that only THEIR set of beliefs and means of worship can lead to salvation, right? And that those who reject it, resist it, or follow another religion are generally condemned, right? So Judaism, Christianity, Islam, those are all "sick" since they "have a problem" with "someone's religion", right? Oh, or having a problem with cults that make little girls marry grown men, you think it's "sick" to condemn that belief system, right? C'mon, Steve, let's hear it for consistency!

Ooooh, wait a minute -- something just occurred to me... if you call me and other people "sick" because our religion is "bigoted" against other religions by "having a problem with" them... that means YOU "have a problem with" MY religion since my religion "has a problem with" other religions, which makes YOU... sick. Now there's a twist worthy of an M. Night Shyamalan flick!</description>

		<description>Mike Huckabee is a spoiler for true conservatives.  His support would go to Gov. Romney, though he's upset that the LDS church is growing faster than his.</description>

		<description>Huckabee is NO conservative:
Mike Huckabee was regarded by fellow Republican governors as a compulsive tax increaser and spender. He increased the Arkansas tax burden by 47 percent, boosting the levies on gasoline and cigarettes.   The Arkansas Leader.com editorialized that Mike Huckabee raised more taxes in 10 years in office than Bill Clinton did in his 12 years.

The National Education Association endorses any candidate who raises taxes and opposes school choice – thus they endorse Mike Huckabee.

Huckabee “broadly repudiates core Republican policies such as free trade, low taxes, the essential legitimacy of America’s corporate entities and the market system allocating wealth and opportunity,” according to  George Will.

 The Arkansas Ethics Commission held proceedings 20 times on the former governor. During his tenure, Huckabee accepted 314 gifts valued overall at more than $150,000, according to documents filed with the Arkansas secretary of state's office. (He accepted 187 gifts in his first three years as governor but was not required to report their value.) 


Two months after taking office, Huckabee stunned the state by saying he questioned rapist Wayne DuMond's guilt and that it was his intention to free the rapist,  DuMond murdered a women in Illinois after Huckabee set him free 

 Huckabee battled conservatives within his own party who were pushing for stricter state-level immigration measures, such as:. 
 -  proof of legal status when applying for state services that aren’t federally mandated 
-  proof of citizenship when registering to vote
-  Huckabee failed in his effort to make children of illegal immigrants eligible for state-funded scholarships and in-state tuition to Arkansas colleges. 

He joined the Democratic chorus in indicting President Bush for his "arrogant bunker mentality."  Is he in the right party?

Huck’s use of the “Christian Leader” title and the Cross in his ads and his attempt to denigrate Mitt Romney’s religion is a thinly-veiled attempt to impose a religious test in violation of Article Six of the Constitution

The Huckster was the keynote speaker at a 1998 anti-Mormon conference in Salt Lake City.  And he says he knows nothing about Mormons?  And the "Christian Leader" doesn't want to release his sermons?

He led the Arkansas Baptists liberal congregations in a dispute with the conservative Southern Baptist Conference.

Mike fails on so many levels as a true conservative.

The moniker "Huckster" is well-earned.</description>

Suggesting McCain is a real conservative is incredibly laughable.

		<description>I am very unhappy at Governor Romney for being part of the mandated insurance fiasco, but I would support him in place of McCain, who - few exceptions aside - is too invested with dems, such as Kennedy.

Romney's Mormon faith is only an off tangent for those that don’t like him to begin with. He didn't turn MA into Mormon country, so where's the problem?
Steve I concur that his so-called "waffling" has more to do with people's biases and is not rooted in reality. His explanation on how he moved from an abortion position to a pro-life one makes sense. People do have the ability to revisit and change their opinions. I believe that's his case.</description>

		<description>There are several problems with Romney, actually. First is his actual economic record as a businessman and as a governor; second is his record on social issues like abortion, as I demonstrate here:
http://soundingthecall.townhall.com/g/4dfaac84-6120-4323-ac27-d028636e67ed

Then there are indeed problems regarding his Mormonism, and it's time people stop being afraid to talk about these problems. Here I discuss these problems in-depth, and why it is okay to talk openly about them:
http://soundingthecall.townhall.com/g/fded3405-6381-43b5-a25d-e4f2ba904f8c

Finally, there's a general problem with trusting Romney. Besides the evidence above, there's the recent example of his claims regarding his own campaign ad that lied about McCain. In fact, Romney's dishonest about it might have violated election laws, as I note here:
http://soundingthecall.townhall.com/g/fded3405-6381-43b5-a25d-e4f2ba904f8c

The GOP ticket will almost surely be McCain-Huckabee at this point. They are the only two true conservatives left in the race, and they speak as the voices of conscience on social issues and national security. We need to listen to those voices, and follow them to victory this November.</description>

		<description>I'm failing to see a problem with Mitt being a Mormon, and his perception as a flipflopper is wholly untrue, if one takes a look at his record as MA governor.

Romney - still married to his wife. McCain - divorced.

Who will Christians go for again?</description>
