As a news junkie and political enthusiast, I have been intrigued to observe the support and attention Mitt Romney has received in Utah. I agree with others who have come to the assumption that Romney's support in Utah stems from his religion.

I will not decide whom I will vote for until I have heard a lot more from all of the candidates. I do know that this kind of unpaid political ad for Mr Paul does little to influence me in his direction. If the Mormon voters of Utah vote only for someone who represents an ultra conservative view of LDS doctrine, values and commitment, I am afraid Mr Paul's lack of a burning testimony will disqualify him in their eyes. As for Mr Romney's failure to live up to your understanding of what a REAL Mormon should be, I think I may have found just one small reason to support him, though that may prove to be insufficient. By the way, how does one become part of Mr Paul's Utah organization? Surely a temple recommend is not required!

Members of the LDS faith will see in Congressman Paul a reflection of conservative values, a strong foreign policy, an economic policy based on sound money and a desire to preserve our nation's sovereignty.

No they won't. "Members of the LDS faith" want politicians that will usher in the short worldwide reign of their Masonic Messiah. Just look at "chicken-hawks" Cannon, Hatch, and Bennett working to sell out American sovereignty.

I don't vote on a man because of his religion.  I am a Mormon but that doesn't influence my vote and I refuse to believe that we vote as a unit any more than catholics, or Jews vote as a unit.  Everyone has their own ideas.  As for me I will not decide who to vote fore until it is actually decided who will be running.  That won't happen for a year.  I personally never heard of this Paul guy until signs started sprouting in yards.  That doesn't bode well for his chance to be nominated.

Never having heard of "this Paul guy", explains quite a bit regarding the plight of our voting citizens.
I voted for Ron Paul for president when he ran some years ago as the Libertarian candidate, having temporarily left the Republican party.
He was a much better choice then the 2 annointed gadiantons we were given by the other 2 parties.
A search on his voting record in Congress would help those who were too young to take part in his previous election campaign.

It doesn't bode well for America when people like you don't have a clue about what politicians are doing in Washington!
