Carol, we have really struggled with legitimizing Mormonism, which we believe is a cult, by electing Romney. It isn't a matter of lesser of evils, at least not how it's always been. But sometimes I wonder, within our family, if it's our own wisdom that tells us anything is better than Obama. People know he is evil and not Christian, but Romney could open the door for multitudes to equate Mormonism with true Christianity, and that has far worse effects than the temporal (albeit many serious) problems the immediacy of Obama again would bring. Anyway, I don't think this is as cut and dry as other elections, at least in my mind. My same old arguments of voting for subpar people aren't holding up as well. Of course, my dh will make the final decision for us, and he realizes he may change his mind in the end on what we do. God bless.

Perhaps God is the one opening a new door for us to carry out the Great Commission.....Romney could open the door for multitudes to equate Mormonism with true Christianity,
Non-believers are curious about the LDS church. I have already had several opportunities this year to explain to folks the difference between Mormonism and the true faith. If Romney wins I see God using His spotlight of truth to expose and weaken this cult.

Perhaps just the opposite. Exposing the cult to the truth.Perhaps God is the one opening a new door for us to carry out the Great Commission.

If Romney wins Mormonism will never have had more light shone on it.

I neeeeeeed cake!
I think they are holding that one for the weekend before the election. I have no doubt that if 0 sees he is in big trouble, they will pull out the wacky Mormon card. Those of us that know about Mormon theology will not be, but I imagine those that clue-in to all things political right before the election will be more than slightly
I can see the script already. You-know-who will be behind it, but will get NONE of the blame. I have no doubt that the script has him rising above it all and appearing like a statesman--dare I say--a real leader. And the sheeple will swoon. The script has already been written; what happens next will determine when the First Act will "officially" begin.
I can't believe this is the choice we have. UGH.

I have a question?
Can I go the independent route and vote independent since I dont want to vote for Romney or Obama?
Matthew 11:28
Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
"Formerly giest075".
Allons-y!
You may vote for whomever you like, but keep in mind that a vote not cast for Romney is a vote that doesn't cancel out one of Obama's.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
In the event of darkness, depression, sadness, or loneliness, your Bible can be used as a flotation device.

Consider voting for the best man even though you do not totally agree with all his policies. We NEED to get Obama out to save our country. Romney does seem to be more pro-Israel than Obama. But it is in God's hands--Thy will be done!

As much as it pains me, I believe I am going to have to vote for Mitt Romney. For those who feel as I do, that all we're doing is voting against Obama and not for a good candidate, keep in mind these verses. They give me hope...
Psalm 22:28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.
Psalm 34:22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
Proverbs 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
Maybe we won't even have to worry about voting. I'm hoping for the rapture before the election. I'm so ready to go to be with Jesus.
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; the fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai!

It doesn't pain me at all to vote for Romney. He will know what to do to help the economy heal -- not deliberately kill it.
Romney also has a long record in public service without a hint of scandal.
If he's a narcissistic liar it remains to be seen. I plan to give him a chance without grumbling and complaining.
In contrast {and boy what a contrast!} we know that Obama was a committed Marxist early in life. His hatred for America was cemented in college. He became a Chicago street agitator who coerced banks into granting loans to "oppressed" folks who couldn't possibly pay the money back. Later when the housing market crashed as a result of this plan to implement "fairness", Senator Obama and other guilty liberals conveniently blamed George Bush and Republicans for the fiasco they created.
Let's get this imposter out in Nov .... if only to restore the dignity of the office he was never qualified to hold.

Well said brother. I cannot fathom how people can justify not voting BO out of office
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Cor 1:18

And there's great scripture to back up this idea. Thou shalt not kill. We have one candidate for killing babies, and one against. The vote isn't that hard.

I understand the concept of voting for the lesser of two evils. However, I don't think that there is any lesser evil to vote for. I believe that Romney will win the election. However, those that supported him (especially conservative Christians) will probably be shocked when he continues with many of the policies of the Obama administration. However, that shouldn't be shocking when we see that Obama has continued with many policies from the Bush administration.
ScribblerMod
So, one openly supporting killing babies in the womb is on the same level as one being against killing babies in the womb? There is indeed a lesser of the two evils when we are talking policy, not on the human behind the policy. Obama has continued with several Bush policies that there are no alternatives for.

What Romney says now regarding abortion and what he will do if he becomes the president may be two very different things. I'm sorry to be cynical but I've been disappointed too many times by Republicans. Remember that ObamaCare was upheld by the Supreme Court because a justice that was appointed by George W. Bush betrayed us. I hate the policies of the Democratic Party but they are more open and honest about their true agenda than the Republicans are.
As for the Bush administration policies that Obama continued he does have alternatives. He simply chose not to take them. You can argue about why he continued with Bush's policies but the fact is that he did.

You may want to do more study on just what Roberts accomplished. Yes, his vote allowed the bill to remain consitutional, but they way he did it (defining it as a tax) sets the stage for curtailing federal over-reach (commerce clause).
In other words, it wasnt the 'betrayal' as you characterized it.
Take a look at this link for more detail about what I mean. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a...bamacare_.html
