I have reconciled voting for Romney because I look at how he has consistently been a business man and a family man. Even though I hate how he has changed his positions through his political career, I understand that a person's actions and lifestyles reveal what his or her core values are. His wife stayed home with 5 sons while the Obama family is feminist. The inconsistencies in both of these families in regards to their religious beliefs deter me and many others from fully supporting either candidate. (I'm sure others could say the same about me when I express sinful patterns and not the fruit of the Spirit.) But the American people are forced to look beyond religious claims and affiliations to determine which candidate is best for this difficult time we're facing: will America become the next communist state or return back to a free market economy? This election may be the most pivotal one during our lifetime. One that requires much prayer accompanied by a humble and contrite heart.Megganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752508681179648657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164092664117206735.post-14977764921565462332012-09-18T09:12:19.153-04:002012-09-18T09:12:19.153-04:00Josh & I aren't sure we can vote for Romne...Josh & I aren't sure we can vote for Romney either. We have recently had the chance to share the gospel with 2 Mormon missionaries and even had them for dinner on Friday night. After our encounter with them, we understand now that Mormon doctrine is very deceptive. Josh said on Sunday night, "If I had to vote tomorrow, I couldn't vote for Romney, because his core beliefs are deceptive." Romney was criticized repeatedly in the primaries for changing his position and saying whatever he needed to say in order to get elected. Because deception is such a big part of Mormonism, I think he wouldn't think twice about changing his position once he gets elected. It is definitely a decision we are wrestling with.
