Yes, but not a socialist, as Mitt has shown that he is via his mandatory healthcare mandate. Wouldn’t it be great to have a mormon President?

"They believe in God. They worship Jesus Christ. They lead good lives. They have families and build homes of love and peace. They volunteer. They serve others. They reach out." I'm sorry, but I take offense to that. No, not the volunteering, reaching out, and living good lives, etc... But the "They worship Jesus Christ" part. Mormons worship and pray to God the Father. We believe Jesus Christ is the Savior, but Jesus declines receiving worship in the Bible, and at least I do not worship Jesus Christ, as this would be putting another God above the Father, and is contrary to the first of the Ten Commandments. Other Mormons may disagree, but every scripture I have read seems to be supportive of my focus of Worship. Jesus is the Savior, I have reverence and respect for him, but he wanted all Glory to go to the Father. It was Satan who wanted Glory to be given to himself, instead of the Father. I worship God the Father. What I believe in, is technically called Henotheism, i believe. That there are multiple Gods/Godesses, but only one to whom I pray and offer worship. ~Jeff, <a href="http://mormon-gnostics.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">a "Mormon Gnostic"</a> I realize this thread is about politics more than doctrine, but…

I hope and suspect that if Mitt runs and wins the primary, Christian conservatives everywhere will at least realize he'd be more favorable to their views than a Hillary or a John Kerry.
