Romney makes it official.

Non-denominational judeo-christian chiming ing here. I don't consider myself to be "Very" religious, though many of my friends and acquaintances do. Helps that a local minister lives across the street from me, and we have them over for dinner twice a month. (They frequently host dinners for "stranded" college students, I feel it is only right for someone to do unto them as they do unto others.)

Thanks for posting that.

I may not see eye to eye with frank on a lot of things, but this sentiment, which I strongly share, is one reason I'd have a steak and (root)beer with him next time I'm out in Maine. . . :P

IMO virtually everything "controversial" is better descided locally.

Just for info purposes I e-mailed the Romney campaignand asked about his stance on gun controla and this is what I recieved:

Mr. Atkinson,

Thanks so much for your interest in learning more about Governor Romney. Below is the Governor’s position on gun control.

Americans should have the right to own and possess firearms as guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. Governor Romney is proud to be among the many decent, law-abiding men and women who safely use firearms.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to e-mail us at info@mittromney.com or policy@mittromney.com.

And make sure to visit www.MittRomney.com regularly for breaking news, interesting blog posts, photo albums from the campaign trail, and videos of Governor Romney on Mitt TV.

What is Mitt’s stance on gun control and the ability of law abiding citizens to carry a firearm for protection?

Thanks,

Wayne Atkinson

I was born and raised in Christian farm country, to Christians. I was raised ultra-conservative. As soon as I was 18 and could get away, I started developing my own standards. I do not follow any political party or party lines, although I vote for certain parties because they appeal to more than others.

I am 100% pro-gun. NRA lifer.
I am neutral on abortion. I love my kids and would never let my own child be aborted. However, I think that the type of people that opt for abortions are the best candidates. Lazy, irresponsible people should not breed. Let them abort. I don't want their kid at school with mine, anyway.
I am pro-sterilization.
I am pro capital punishment. The quicker the better.
I don't care what gays do. I believe in individual freedom as long as it does not harm others. Gays do not bother me. Let them marry.
I am pro-environment.
I am anti-immigration. Not just illegal, but almost all immigration. Time to close the borders and take a head count and see what we are dealing with. Then select who we want here based on their skills. We have enough Mexicans for a life time. They would never again be consdiered.
I do not go to church, as I can barely stand it.

Oh, and I now drive an Audi. Where does that put me, Brickboy?

way to go dude!

we are pretty much a like in thought and action.
except i was a card carrying LDS for 22 plus years.
mormons, slang for latter-day saints are like everybody else.
there are some that are great people, some mediocre and well some who
are not worth mentioning.
but personally i wouldn't vote for mitt and it wouldn't be based on his religious belief.
as for my beliefs... i keep them to myself and do not cast my pearls before the herd least they trample them and then rend upon me.

Romney is pro-Brady and pro-AWB. That aside...He is still the best choice of the three top RINO's in the running.
However...I'll stick with Paul if he indeed runs.

Agreed and thanks!

Agree or disagree, these issues should be decided locally so that politicians from the big city can't decide what's best for rural American and vice-versa.

I LOVE STEAK AND ROOT BEER!!!

What state do you live in?

As a semi-LDS person, I must say that I'm less than enthralled with Romney. I think the fact that he's a Mormon will definitely hurt him if he runs, and on top of that, he's just so friggin' wishy-washy. There's no such thing as a truly conservative governor in a state like MA.
I've got enough beef with the religion and so many of those in it that I don't think I'd ever vote for a Mormon though. Like someone said in an earlier post, there are some good, bad, and terrible Mormons in the religion.
