If Mc Cain picked Mitt Romney as the V.P. canadate, would you still think of voting for him?
No, I would not vote for him if he picked Romney as V.P because it is plain and simple--
Romney is a Mormon, which will not appeal to conservative christians because the church is regarded as a "cult" and the its teaching of its leader is not bibical.
Now, some may defend Romney (and this includes those bible believing christians) because of his moral stance on issues, but the bottom line is that he represents a religion which promotes false teaching.
What do you think? Would you still vote for Mc Cain if he picked Romney?

I think Romney is a double-edged sword for McCain.
On one hand, he offers a background on economic issues (expertise McCain sorely lacks), but also carries a history of dramatic policy flip-flops - plus, he and McCain squabbled like an old married couple during the primaries.
I have a hard time believing they're pals now, and that all is forgiven.
If anything, I feel Romney is trying to back-door his way into the White House by riding McCain's coattails.

I'm an Obama leaner, but a Romney appointment would probably seal the deal with Obama for me. Likewise, a Ron Paul appointment would probably turn me into a McCain leaner.
Romney strikes me as a Nixon-style politician. I don't think I could check a box with his name next to it.

I think Romney would be a great choice.
I consider him to be a good leader with a proven background. He is clearly a moral man with a great family. We are not voting for a national pastor - we are voting for a leader.
I would probably guess that the vast majority of the people on these forums do not share the same theological viewpoints. I don't see that as a reason not to vote for someone who shares my conservative ideals.
As far as a man of faith, I have far more respect for a man like Romney than I do for someone like Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore, or Barak Obama.

But you see, this man is the member of the church whose "another testement" is really the testement of "Joseph Smith." And just because he's "moral" or a "family man" does not say much.
This will not fly with evanglical christians because those who believe in bibical values feel that his beliefs will not mix with bibical christianity. Mc Cain is no better neither because he also believes in pro-choice as well.

umm...yeah, evangelical christians will support them anyway. the point is that they are not completely pro-choice as BO and JB...
McCain and his VP pick will get the support from the religious right, can nearly guarantee that.

Although I find Dick Morris to be creepy in the extreme (why Fox News trots him out every blessed night is beyond me), I did like his suggestion of Kay Bailey Hutchison as McCain's VP.
That just made the most sense of any name bandied about so far...

It truly saddens me to say this, but I have personally known many Mormons and from my personal observations, I must say that Mormons are more often true to their moral values than most "evangelicals" I know.
Words and beliefs mean little if the adherents cannot translate those beliefs into action.

Since I am voting against Obama instead of for McCain it really does not matter to me who he picks I will cast the same vote.
If I had a choise I would like him to pick K. Bailey H or Condi Rice.
Thanks

I cannot think of anyone I would rather have as a neighbor than a Mormon family.

On this we can agree.
But beyond Morris being creepy, he simply strikes me as a loser for constantly playing "get back at the Clintons" on Fox and in his insipid books when the reason he left their White House so suddenly was being exposed in a toe-sucking sex scandal.
But of course, I'm sure Morris blames that all on Hillary too.

Kay Bailey has her sights set on Austin.
I, like RC, am casting my vote this time against the Obama and therefor it doesn't much matter who Juan picks as long as it's not Lieberman.

Seriously folks, McCain and his camp know they have the white evangelical Christian vote wrapped up and under the tree, no matter who he picks as running mate. He knows most white evangelicals aren't voting for Obama, and are convinced if they vote third party or stay at home they're helping elect Obama and the blood of trillions and gadzillions of babies will be on their hands. So that vote is a done deal. He doesn't have to do anything there but continue to air scary ads about Obama and talk about how he'll be a champion for the unborn.
Then he'll choose Lieberman. He wants those independents, undecideds and those disgruntled Hillary supporters. As close as this election is, those are the ones who will decide the outcome. That's why I say Lieberman will be the pick. He hates Romney's guts. Columnist George Will once said that McCain dosen't hold grudges, he nurtures them. He'll pick his buddy Joe.

Julius, I already lost ten hot pockets to todd because Jindal turned McCain down, but I am willing to wager (three cans of spam even) there is no way that he will pick Lieberman - though I have heard one good conservative argument for him to do so, At this juncture it will be either Pawlenty or Romney - and I would have no qualms whatsoever with Romney, and as long as one agrees with his stated political goals, neither should any believer.

During his time as Governor of Massachusetts, not once did he try and make everyone wear magic underwear. I think he would be a perfectly safe VP, as far as the Mormon issues go at least.

I have some reservations about Romney in the integrity department, but will still vote McCain if Romney is VP.
Romney has excellent economic chops, which as mentioned is a good thing for McCain to have in a VP. I can also see Romney being very authoritative but diplomatic when dealing with foreign leaders.
The Mormon thing doesn't make me happy, but when it all boils down almost all of the values held high by the Mormon church are the same values held high by the Christian church.
