Mitt Romney rightly calls Al Sharpton comment bigoted
Al Sharpton:
“As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don’t worry about that; that’s a temporary situation,” Sharpton said during a debate with Hitchens at the New York Public Library.”
Mitt Romney:
“It shows that bigotry still exists in some corners,” said Romney, who spoke to reporters after a campaign event. “I thought it was a most unfortunate comment to make.” . . . “I don’t know Reverend Sharpton,” he said. “I doubt he is personally such a thing, but the comment was a comment which could be described as a bigoted comment.”

Here’s the headline: Clinton chairman: Obama would be good running mate a) I think they really mean it. b) It positions Hillary Clinton as the President, the winner and the “real” nominee for the Democratic party. c)

Presidential politics: a very misleading headline in the Deseret News

This misleading headline is found in the Deseret News of all places. Unfortunately for Mitt Romney it ran via the Associated Press. Headline Huckabee takes big lead in Iowa GOP race, Romney 14 percent to Huckabee’s 47 percent When you read the details you find it’s a blatant distortion of the actual story. The Truth
Could Mike Huckabee be the next U.S. president?

Mike Huckabee has passed Mitt Romney in polling numbers in Iowa, and frankly, he’s been doing a better job during the candidate debates. – He’s second in Republican polling right now, and sometimes I think Giuliani has a little too much baggage. – He’s from the same town as Bill Clinton (Hope, Arkansas). Population 10,467.

The truth shows its face on Utah Vouchers
about 4 years ago - 14 comments
$9.3 million was approved by the Utah legislature for use on vouchers until it went to referendum and was voted down. So what’s going to happen to the money? It’s not going to public education because that’s not where the money came from. But again, voucher opponents and many teachers led a lot of people

If you don’t believe that Romney will have a problem with Christians, just ask him if Jesus is the Son of God.

He might, but it’s completely irrelevant to his candidacy for president.

Diana,
When Romney answers “yes” it’ll hardly rock the boat unless so-called “Christians” doing the questioning further imitate their Pharisee predicessors and try spouting anti-Mormon ignorance. Nobody asking about Romney’s beliefs has a true interest in his political stance, since the two are separate. They are just picking fights, stirring contention, and hoping to obscure truth.
It’s interesting that so-called Christians are anything but Christlike.

Diana, I’m not sure how to take your comment. I’m Mormon and of course Jesus is the Son of God. It’s either a bigoted question or you are trying to make a point.

Diana,
From your comment I can only assume you are as ignorant and bigoted as Al Sharpton. I am a Mormon. All of my family for generations have been Mormons. I literally know thousands of Mormons. Every Mormon I have ever known believes Jesus is the Son of God and is deity. We worship him and pray in his name. We perform all ordinances in his name. We believe he is the creator of the universe and that all power in the universe is derived from him. We know that man can only be saved through his grace and infinite sacrifice. I am sick of people trying to tell me what I believe and misrepresenting my religion. I am exhausted from having my faith maligned daily in the press from all sides without any repercussions. I’d also like to see some reciprocity from the Christian Right when it comes to Mormonism. There is no voting block more firmly behind the Christian Right agenda than the Mormons, but I guess a Mormon can’t count on that support in return.

If eveyone would try to model their actions and words after the life of Jesus Christ none of this would be happening. I am sure that Christ himself cannot believe how his inspirational life is being used to manipulate and hurt others. His message is clear, simple and not hard to understand. Maybe it is just to difficult for people to truly live.
