Congratulations to Mitt Romney on pulling off a very tricky speech on religion. The speech writer is great. He should be employed by our next president. Now to the content - Romney wants us all to put his religion aside and focus on his ideas. Now we all know that this speech was put out there for one reason - Mike Huckabee! It seems that the evangelical wing has rallied behind Huckabee and pushed him to a national lead in some polls. Romney saw no choice but to explain the foundations of his faith and try to recapture the number he has lost. It comes down to these two for conservative Christians. We don't have to settle for a man that created a sanctuary city, marched in gay pride parades and has lived his private life so thoughtless that his children are estranged from him. Romney claims that his religion is based on Jesus Christ as savior and that is what matters most. I tend to agree. More important though is the evangelical movement making their voices heard. We are not the toothless, gun rack, snake handling crowd. We are bright, deep seated in our faith and now we are loud. We know what we want in a candidate and are not going to settle for a middle of the road RINO. Maybe the third party should be called the Conservative party!

Hold on a second. Mormons never tell the "whole story" of what they believe. They always say they believe in the same God as Christians and that Jesus Christ is the Savior BUT they never go beyond that. They don't want people to know that they believe that there are several gods and that everyone can become a god. There are a lot of CRITICAL differences that they don't ever want to talk about. This happened to me personally. I worked with a mormon at my previous job and he told me they believe exactly what we CHRISTIANS believe and that couldn't be farther from the TRUTH! I checked it out on my own and talked to my pastor about it. Type in Mormonism vs Christianity in your search field and you will get several sites that will explain the differences because the Mormons sure WON'T. MIKE HUCKABEE is a TRUE Christian who believes in the ONE TRUE GOD. Christians don't compromise!
Debbie - you are exactly right. There are major differences in these two faiths and I am a Christian. My point was not to endorse the overall speech, but to bring to light the only two choices that evangelicals feel they have in this election. I am a solid Huckabee supporter and will not compromise my beliefs. So how about that third party now?
