Mitt Romney Mormon

A Mormon on a Weather Vane

Romney's problem was not that he was a Mormon, but that he was a Mormon sitting on top of a weather vane changing his positions every time the wind blew in a different direction.

Most candidates want to be seen as religious but readily play the religious privacy card when asked what that means to them. The problem, therefore, isn't Mormonism; it's hypocrisy.

Romney dumbed down the moment, trying to convince primary voters that he loved Jesus and Christmas trees as much as Mike Huckabee.

Romney's Founders

Geoffrey R. Stone

The fable that the U.S. was founded as a Christian Nation is just that -- a fable. It is worth noting that the Declaration of Independence does not invoke Jesus, or Christ, or Our Father.

Sunday Roundup

Arianna Huffington

It was a bumpy week for the GOP frontrunners. Mitt Romney struggled to make voters comfortable with his Mormon values while uttering the M-word only once in a 20-minute speech. Rudy Giuliani was forced to come clean that he had provided taxpayer-funded chauffeur service to his then-mistress earlier than previously admitted. And Mike Huckabee was put on the hot seat by HuffPost's coverage of his role in the release of a serial rapist who went on to rape and kill at least one other woman. And yet Huckabee has surged ahead in Iowa. So, does this mean that voters are more troubled by a different Jesus and sex-on-the city than by an attempt to fudge the ugly facts of a terrible decision?

Mitt Romney's Jesus is Just as Good as the Leading Brand

Chris Kelly | Posted 12.06.2007 | Politics


Chris Kelly

Here's the thing that Mitt Romney can't say: The Mormon Jesus has about as much in common with Jesus of Nazareth as the Los Angeles Kings have with King Tut. They have the same name, kind of, and that's it.

While the media focuses on Romney and the influence of Mormonism on his potential presidency, it's much more important to shed light on his shadowy, pro-torture advisor.

Huckabee deserves serious, probing questions. It is inadequate to merely label him as the man of and for social conservatives. Have we ever learned what "compassionate conservatism" means?
