Best Presidential Candidate, Republicans

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the since-you-can't-build-robo-reagan dept.

A few days ago we posted a story for you to discuss the best presidential candidates for Super Tuesday, but I figured it would be an interesting idea to try that again, but split the discussion into 2 halves. This is the Republican half — please only discuss the Republican candidates in this story. Huckabee, McCain, and Romney only.

    There can be no de jure formal religious test, but what's wrong with not voting for someone who believes what his great-grandpappy said he read on a golden tablet over what he can see right in front of him?

    I'm not opposed to him because of the particulars of his religious beliefs; I'm opposed to him because, by still holding those beliefs, he's demonstrated a lack of judgment and reason.

    It must be nice, not caring that he's Mormon. I, unfortunately HAVE to care, because he doesn't believe that my children and I are as HUMAN as him. They (Mormons, at least until sometime in the 70's) apparently don't like me, and I don't really care for them either:

    "No person having the least particle of Negro blood can hold the Priesthood" (Brigham Young)

    "The Lord segregated the people both as to blood and place of residence. At least in the cases of the Lamanites and the Negro we have the definite word of the Lord Himself that he placed a dark skin upon them as a curse -- as a punishment and as a sign to all others."

    "In spite of all he did in the pre-existent life, the Lord is willing, if the Negro accepts the gospel with real, sincere faith, and is really converted, to give him the blessings of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. If that Negro is faithful all his days, he can and will enter the celestial kingdom. He will go there as a servant, but he will get celestial glory."

    I don't necessarily mean this directly towards you, but, as a black man, I say "Screw the Mormon Church." Screw Mitt Romney", and "Screw anybody else who would jeopardize our country's future any further by voting for a stooge like Romney."

    Of course, I'm black, so I might be a little biased.
