United Faiths of America

Conventional wisdom holds that Governor Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith was a boat anchor that reduced his potential support among Republican primary voters in 2008, and could undermine his campaign in the 2012 general election. This concern declined as Romney won solid primary victories and rapidly consolidated Republican support. Recent polls show him running neck and neck with President Obama in the November election.

But Romney’s faith could still be a factor—and one that helps him, not hurts him. Romney’s membership in a minority religious community with a history of suffering—very real and very recent religious persecution—opens up an opportunity for him to connect with voters as a credible advocate for the religious liberty of all Americans.

The modern Democrat party openly boasts that it will win in 2012 by dividing Americans—black against white; immigrant against native-born; poor against rich—with the “Buffett rule” and rhetoric against the “one percent.” That said, Obama has been in one key aspect the unifying President he claims to be. He and the aggressively secular left have in effect created an ecumenical movement in defense of religious liberty.

I know a lot of the evil that they both are sponsoring and promoting. I do not mean just everyday things that all people do, but things that are totally evil. The WORD OF GOD does say that if you are guilty of the least of these you rare guilt y of all. It. also tells of the abominations that he has destroyed entire cities because the people would not repent. All of these things are well and alive today with the backing of these two men. These men are not only committing these things but promoting them.

And, yes Romney, too. When did he change his mind about the evils of baby murder and homosexuality or die he really change his mind?? He said very recently that putting a child in the home of two married homosexuals was OK by him. It certainly not OK with GOD or me!!

I feel if I vote for him knowing these things, I am agreeing with him.

Obama?? my opinion of him is "He is Satan's buddy!!

  a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law” (Romans 3:28). Positively, the believer is justified “by faith” because he relies completely on the merits of Christ. Negatively, justification is “apart from the deeds of the law”. The believer is not accounted as righteous because of personal obedience to the law. “We have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law” (Galatians 2:16) – that is sola fide!

    "God bids us do what we cannot, that we may know what we ought to seek from him." – Augustine, On Grace And Free Will
    
    "The human will does not obtain grace by freedom, but obtains freedom by grace." – Calvin's Institutes II.III quoting Augustine
    
    God knoweth we have nothing of ourselves, therefore in the covenant of grace he requireth no more than he giveth, and giveth what he requireth, and accepteth what he giveth. – Richard Sibbes from The Bruised Reed
    
    Grace is not like a box of candy that you can send back if you don't want it. Grace is divine favor, an attitude of God's own heart. We cannot stop him from loving us, if he chooses to do so. Nor can we stop him from giving us blessings of salvation: regeneration, justification, adoption, sanctification, glorification. His purpose in us will certainly be fulfilled, Phil. 1:6, Eph. 1:11. – John Frame

    WE are saved by faith, we are rewarded by works. Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because the people refused to give up their sin. If you are a good Christian, in good standing with GOD, we as sinners, will make every attempt to live according to HIS commandments. This is necessary if we want eternal life with HIM.
    
    But we can repent and I mean really repent, because He knows exactly what is in our hearts,make an attempt to repent and HE will forgive us. HIS WORD tells us, "Faith without works is dead!"

America deserves the judgment of God by its citizens allowing a morally corrupt government to push HIM out of the public place…and our private lives (in some instances). This is one Christian Constitutional Conservative who will NOT vote for Mitt Romney because he is but an extension of what the Democrats and Republicans have jointly created to destroy this nation and push us into a global economy, government, and ultimately a one-world religion. I care more about my own moral conviction than a contrived and corrupt Republican political party. Suck up Republicants… you deserve another four years of a corrupt immoral anti-Constitutional, anti-God, anti-Israel, pro-Islamic illegitimate dictator…and get a taste of what's to come by this nation being destroyed from within.

  Winston says: "This is one Christian Constitutional Conservative who will NOT vote for Mitt Romney…"
  
  Which means one of two things: You are voting for Obama, or you are not voting at all. Either choice will be equivalent to a check mark in Obama's column, the man whom you yourself call "..a corrupt immoral anti-Constitutional, anti-God, anti-Israel, pro-Islamic illegitimate dictator…" (all of which I agree with, BTW). So you would rather see the nation "being destroyed from within" for another four years than take a chance on Mitt? I'm having trouble following your logic.

    A cult member or Obama, let's see…
    
    NEITHER,!!!
    
    And it is not a vote for Obama, I live in a Red state which will vote for The Cult Member Romney by 65%. So my no vote will have no effect on the election one way or the other.
    
    Presidents are elected by the Electorial College, and as such the popular vote from individuals is diluted, if I write in Mickey Mouse, it will have no effect. Now if I lived in a swing state, then yes not voting could be equated with a vote for Obama. But even if I did live in a swing state I would not and will not vote for the lessor of two evils.
    
    That is my stance, if you don't agree that is fine but don't attempt to accuse me of helping either Obama or Romney, because I don't want either and my not voting is the only legal way to show my disapproval of both.
    
    If you live in a swing state, then hold your nose and vote for the brain-washed cult member if you can live with yourself afterwards.
    But don't try to take up the mantle of holiness for your decision, because it does not fit. You can wash, dress, perfume, and make-up a pig, but rest assured it will return to wallow in mud as quickly as possible. And that my friend is what Romney is a washed pig and nothing more.

      I'm not much a fan of Romney either, I am simply saying it is a choice between the full-calorie version of socialism (Obama) vs. the lite version (Romney). Since there are only two choices that have any kind of realistic chance of winning, I'll go for the lite version.
      
      I don't know what state you live in so I cannot comment on your decision, but I do happen to live in a key swing state where the vote may be razor thin, so I believe I have no choice but to hold my nose and vote for Mitt. It may seem like a cop-out to you, but 4 more years of Obama scares me so much that I am forced to make the practical decision. You are certainly entitled to your own opinion, but I still hold to my opinion that a no-vote will only help Obama.

  If you vote for Romney means you are agreeing with him on important issues and what is more important that you faith in JESUS CHRIST and fighting the vil that he is promoting and how much important can you get that fighting his promotion of abomination acts to GOD

    I am voting for Romney because I believe he will do a better job than Obama and will stop our descent into bankruptcy.

President Obama openly supports the gay agenda and other dysfunctional . He openly supports gay marriage and other dysfunctional lifestyle lifestyles.

President wannabe Romney supports the gay agenda and other dysfunctional lifestyles. He openly supports gays being given unwanted children for adoption which they will use to pass on and promote their deviant lifestyle into the next generation by cloning more of themselves.

Think about it. The open support of deviant lifestyles by these so called leaders Is despicable and outright evil on so many levels.

Marriage was ordained for the family.
One man, one woman, to bring children into the world.
These men are saying evil is good and good is evil…..if we as a nation (and the world) accept this abomination then we have crossed over a line that throughout history has proved to be the last straw before the downfall of nations and the anger of God.
Daniel

Correction of the first sentence:
President Obama openly supports the gay agenda, gay marriage and other dysfunctional lifestyles.

Now what vote for the lesser of two-evil. Or do they have a write in…?
We're instructed to pray for our enemies and love them. This has been a tough one for me. I have to ask for forgiveness for my apathy toward all this daily. I'm really concern for our grandchildren. Who would have ever thought we would come to this…

  The lesser of two evils? Mitt Romney is not an evil man. Barack Obama IS an evil man (based on his implementation of Satan's agenda of destroying our agency). Don't vote for the evil one. It's as simple as that.

The choice is pretty simple in my book. "ANYBODY BUT OBAMA"!!! Romney has his faults as do all of us. If Romney is lying, it will not take long for the American people to figure it out. The one thing we do know is that Obama has lied, is lying and will continue to lie, usurp the constitution, and sell the America he hates to the United Nations. Like I said, "ANYBODY BUT OBAMA"!!!
