A Mormon as possible President of the USA.
Will his beliefs have an effect on what he does as president?

I do not love Mitt Romney, but he seems ok, and when compared to Obama he seems like a pretty good choice.

Sure - just like any other president, his "beliefs" will effect his thoughts. However, since he WROTE "Obamacare" to begin with for Massachusetts, that's probably a predictable path, and in the final analysis it's CONGRESS that will have the major effect on what actually gets done - if anything.
My GUT feel is that Obama will be re-elected.
And remembering God's words - Prov 16:
33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
We'll get the leadership that HE desires for us - hopefully NOT the leadership we deserve. But if we want to think we actually have some control over it with our "Elections" - then so be it.

If obama makes a " gaff " ?
LOL, like maybe telling the Russians to " give him a little time , till after the election " ?
Or maybe calling the supreme court basically nobody's ? or trying to strong-arm the Catholic church into having abortions and handing out condoms ?
I think he has made enough " gaffs " for a life time .

I don't buy that Obama is a closet Muslim, but he isn't doing a good job and needs to be replaced. Romney's not my first choice, but I'm sure he'll do a better job than Obama. I'd hire him.
Two things to bear in mind when predicting election results:
1) Polls of "likely voters" are the only ones that matter. Polls of "registered voters" includes lots of people who won't vote, which skews the result. Rasmussen has the best track record of the pollsters, and he always polls "likely voters".
2) The undecideds almost always break for the challenger. So if polls show the race being even with a lot of undecideds, that means Romney wins.

No guilt of life, no fear of death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

Just learned that when Romney left office here in MA the top 11 state officials in Romney's office bought their hard drive from their computers. Not an illegal act, but an act that shows they don't want the public to see their motivation and how they ran state government. From what Romney said about about some government information that was leaked from the Obama administration, its clear what Romney does as president will be not open to the public. They will hid what and why they do things so they can spin their actions however they want to.
I much prefer government that is open. So I'm not happy about the way Romney would run America. | | |
