Voting for a President

I would like to see the presidential candidate (whichever party), who takes the Oath of Office, actually follow through with that Oath (done before God and country). We haven't seen this in a long time. How many people here consider that a determining factor in casting a vote?

I do I do!!! :wavey:

But then no one takes me or the U.S. constitution serious here anyway. What we have today is a choice between corporatism (Romney) and socialism (Obama). Some choice huh?

Both puppets of the global banking and corporate elite. Seems to me that the folks here that support Romney would rather take the "right" fork in the road to hell than the left.

Folks, listen to me. Both sides of the road lead to the same destruction.

Of course, accepting the status quo and voting for the "lesser of two evils" is generally the way we vote for a President. We haven't had a really good, decent choice during my entire lifetime, and I started voting back in 1986. I have, in recent years, had a clear conscience when voting for a third party candidate I felt I could support.

It is hypocritical to criticize Obama from a Christian perspective, and call his faith into question because of his view on gay marriage, and not apply the same Christian standard to the fact that Romney, if he follows the true teachings of his Mormon faith, denies the divinity and virgin birth of Jesus, as well as the ability of his blood to sanctify us from sin, and justify us before God, and who believes that Jesus and Satan are blood brothers born from the seed of a god-man, and that your testimony of Joseph Smith's true status as a prophet is what saves you from your sin. Sorry, but I'm not going to help Mormons use the presidency to claim legitimacy for their heresy.

Well I will tell you what, when Romney starts pushing legislation regarding the Trinity or any part of his religion then I will criticize it. until then it is all apples and oranges.

I have an ideal, lets vote for Bill Clinton / Jimmy Carter ticket - they are both Southern Baptists! :thumbsup:

Yeah! Jimmy Carter once looked at a woman with lust in his eyes; Bill Clinton never looked at a woman without lust in his eyes.

He is not running to be your pastor. The LDS is indeed a cult. That being said I believe Romney's moral values far exceed those of either Obama or Clinton!

Mormonism is a cult, and is an infection on the Christian community. That is a big strike against Romney. We have chosen two pathetic choices. Given that, looking at the overall situation in these circumstances, yes, I will vote for a Mormon. I despise the religion, but Mormons are not dedicated to killing those who do not believe as they do, (Muslims). At least Moromns believe there is a God, regardless of how they picture Jesus Christ. (athiest)

S/N take a deep breath . . .!

Actually a very good response; one I can identify with!

You know of course a lot of democrats/liberals have no problem with killing people. They just get them while they are young!:tear:

Each situation is different. If the Democrats were running a decent candidate, no, I would not vote for a Mormon.

Come on S/N! I once told of my burning candles because I once voted for a democrat. You told me there was always sack cloth and ashes, if my memory is correct! The democrats will never run anyone other than a socialist so I will never vote for one. {Again that is!}

1. As a Christian I would not knowingly vote for an atheist.

2. As a Christian I would not vote for a Muslim. I believe Islam is one manifestation in history of the beast/false prophet of Revelation.

3. As a Christian I would not vote for a democrat. The philosophy of the party is Marxist and rabidly in favor of slaughtering the unborn!
