I like Romney better. IMO, his religious beliefs are genuine, while Perry is using his religion to garner votes.
There's something sickening about that.

So, are you one of those Americans who "would never vote for a Mormon?"
Absolutely.
I've voted Republican in every election since 1980, but Romney is the nominee, I'll vote third party or stay home.
The LDS are a dangerous, power-hungry cult and I'd support four more years of Obama's ineptitude rather than risk getting them any closer to power than they already are.

Why do you think that? What do you think a Mormon would do in power such that you would vote for Obama instead?

I think that Perry is sincere in his beliefs.
I do agree that Romney's beliefs are genuine. That's what scares the hell out of me. He believes in absolute nonsense that has been scientifically debunked, repeatedly.
Seriously, I've spent time with Mormons. They are like characters from a Steven King Novel level creepy.

I'm actually more comfortable with the sense that a politician's religious beliefs are a facade. But it's far better if they just keep it to themselves. Perry seems willing to make his a significant part of how he governs - which (among many other things) disqualifies him for my vote. Mormonism doesn't scare me any more than Christianity, but Romney is just a phony tool in general.
Absolutely.

I don't even want to take the chance. My own experiences with Mormons is that they can't be trusted. They are just snakey, two-faced people with crazy beliefs.
Incidently, I didn't say I would vote for Obama. I said I'd stay home or vote third party. But we know what we'll get with Obama. A lot of ineptitude, probably impotence.
Romney would open the country up to his corporate raider buddies to steal everything but the gold teeth and the silverware. No thanks.
Incidently, my disdain for Romney is not limited to his religion. His unethical business practices, his flip-flopping on issues, his overall phoniness and lack of empathy for working folks, yeah, that all gives me pause, too. This is a guy who has never had to work hard in his life, but has spent much of it screwing over working people to get money that he doesn't really need.
Romney started Bain Capital. He was an extraordinarily successful investor. He got rich, as I understand it, primarily by investing growth capital in young businesses, not by stripping away old businesses (though his firm did some of that). I know something about that world. Those guys work like dogs. There is also a story that at his firm, one of his employee's kids went missing, so they stopped everything they were working on and everyone spent days looking for the kid, whom they found.
I don't care about his religion. I agree that he is a flip-flopper, somewhat slippery, and will say whatever he needs to get elected. And it bothers me somewhat that given that the financial industry is who got us into the mess, we should elect someone from that industry as President. But what this country needs right now is competency. It doesn't need a vacuous ideologue. Romney is simply hands down the most competent individual running for the office of President.
Depends on what you're going for.
Perry's likely to be easier to beat in a general election.
Romney isn't, but if he wins the nomination it will be in spite of the Tea Party, not because of it. If he then goes on to the win the general, it'll be because the Tea Party folks kissed his ring anyway, effectively ending their brief stint as kingmakers in the Republican party.
As a voter who wouldn't mind seeing the Republican ticket lose in 2012, I'd obviously like to see a Perry candidacy. But as an American taking the long view, I'd probably be happier seeing a winning Romney ticket pull his party back from the fringes of reactionary thought.
So I guess it's Romney, by a nose.
Perry is guilty of not knowing about the "SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE". Or, not giving a damn about it.
Perry advocated having a particular religion's church embedded into our government?
Wow
When did this happen and how did I miss it?
Apparently, you're missing the public prayers on (a) governmental occasion(s) specifically designed to accentuate the enforcement of prayer on the general public.
I don't know much about Romney, and I know for a fact that Perry is putting Texas in a shithole, so I'll repeat an honest black guy before another Texas Governor RINO wackjob.

You mean the one where EVERYONE was invited, regardless of religious preference?
How does that establish a particular religion or prevent the free exercise thereof?
Oh...

So who is honest?
Are you aware that Bush lied 935 times between 2001 and 2003 about the threat of terrorism to the US?
Do you ever use actual argumentive points, or any logic at all?
Are you a 10 year old?
