It seems Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is just not Christian enough for the radical religious Right who now control the Republican party.
"Many evangelical believers — a group that Romney must win over to prevail in the
primaries — say the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not
Christianity."
Why anyone would want to appeal to these people is beyond me, but such is the state of the modern Republican party. Here is what one really enlightened follower named Mary Doreen had to say about Romney,
"I'm a Christian. I don't think a Mormon or a Catholic is a Christian."
Can you take more?
"'Mormonism is not Christianity,' says Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a powerful voice among conservative Christians."
"'When asked in polls whether they would vote for a Mormon candidate, a substantial minority of conservative Christians say they would be less likely to vote for a Mormon candidate,' Green notes. 'And when those questions are followed up, there's a significant group that says there's no chance that they would vote for a Mormon candidate.'" (emphasis mine)
It's nice to see rational thought goes into their thoughts on who should be president.
