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.


As LDS members we have been given very clear criteria for who to support as candidates in D&C 98 verses 1-11. Membership in the Church is not mentioned as a factor. They should be good, honest and wise having an understanding of the proper role of government as explained in D&C 98 and D%C 134:2. My understanding of these passages rules out Romney.

Your decision to wait to decide until "who is running" is decided, is contrary to our mandate in D&C 98 and could be very fatal. It is a HUGE mistake to just sit around and let things be determined in primaries and then look at the general election as the only thing that matters. It is our mandate to get involved when and where we can make a difference, and the determination of who is nominated by the Republican party will have a MUCH greater impact on the overall direction of this nation that the general election will if the candidate is Romney or Giuliani. Consider this statement from Elder Maxwell:

The voting booth is very democratic, but the shaping of the alternatives is aristocratic; it is work that is done by a few. I've been struck over and over again in my experiences with government and politics, modest as they are, by the Lord's counsel that honest, wise, and good individuals "should be sought for diligently" and that such individuals we should "observe to uphold" (see D&C 98:10). Ponder those words. Seeking out special individuals implies that the special individuals needed may not be those who are first in line as eager volunteers (Neal A. Maxwell, BYU Devitional, October 1976)

SW-77 is not authorized to interpret scripture for others in the church.

Simply ignore him.

Outstanding letter to the editor... couldn't have said it better myself! We need more individuals who are "awake" to what is going on in Washington!! So far on this site, the only ones who "get it" are "The Keeper" and "Aware". I'm sure there are others as well, but these two are the most informed and I commend them both for their awareness. I, for one, will be voting for Paul, no question, and anyone who does will be voting for ethical, moral and constitutional government the way it was meant to be by our founding fathers, not this cess pool of graft, greed and corruption in the house, senate, congress and with both the republican and democratic parties that has evolved thanks to big corporations, special interests, lobbyists, self-interests and a lust for power.

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.

Oh great at first you all were gaga. Because a Mormon was running for president. Now he's not good enough of a Mormon for you.

Your 100 percent correct, that would be Dubya's job.
