I don't see why not. You'd be voting for the man's policies, not his theology.

Though personally, I favor Santorum myself. (Dodges objects chucked at him)

I trust Romney far more to keep his religion out of the mixin terms of his approach to policies than I trust Santorum to do so, as I find him very threatening in terms of keeping church and state separate.

I just can't vote for somebody who is accursed by God.
If that's what God's leading you to do, I support your decision 100%, not that you need my approval. My wife and I cannot vote for anyone who believes abortion is a form of birth control. We do not make distinctions for rape and incest. A life is a life, created by God.

I agree brother.:thumbsup:

I sure hope whomever the Independant nominee is, it is someone I can vote for because it looks like a mormon is going to take the GOP nod.

Well... We know Mitt Romney will get three electoral votes... From Utah! I feel that a vote for Romney is a justification of the false Mormon doctrine. So I will be voting for someone else!

Some people were dead set against JFK because he was Catholic. As for myself a vote for Romney isnt a vote for the Morman theology but a vote for someone who knows how the economy works. If I could point to one man and say he is going to be president it wouldnt be Romney. On the other hand I will vote for him if he gets the nod.

In previous times, you could rely upon Roman Catholics to be Pro-Life. But if they are Democrats, they seem to put the party first, and their personal morals on the issue on a back burner. How can a politician put their faith on a back burner and vote against their own principles? Are their principles being sacrificed on the Democratic altar? Are Mormons any different? How else could Mitt Romney become the governor of one of America's most liberal states. I'm really not sure at this point what I'm going to do.

I think of it more as a vote against Obama than a vote for Romney.
that is how i was thinking...
but...
I am still not comfrotable

is non-action counted as an action?

if I do not vote and Obama is elected would I be partially responsible?
or does not acting in the ellection take me out of the equation?
