Mitt Romney’s Faith, Does it Matter? [POLL]

It's been one of the big topics this week surrounding the GOP primary, Mitt Romney's faith. Romney is a Mormon and some Evangelicals aren't comfortable with that. At least, that has been the case in the past. Romney's faith was brought up this week because of the person who introduced Rick Perry at an event last Friday. According to CNN:

During his introduction of Perry at the Values Voter Summit on Friday, Rev. Robert Jeffress said the Texas governor was a genuine follower of Jesus Christ unlike another candidate he did not name. Jeffress later said he believes voters should choose Perry over Romney because Romney is a Mormon and Mormons are “not Christians,” and also called Mormonism a cult.

“You know I think Gov. Perry was wrong to have as an introducer someone who said look this guy who you should vote for because he is one of us and that guy Romney should be disqualified because he is not. And when that gets said and when, after that Gov. Perry said hey that guy hit the ball out of the park,” Romney told conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham on her radio show.

“The idea that we somehow as political candidates are going to encourage the American people to make our selection based upon religion that is an idea that is entirely foreign to a nation which was founded with religious tolerance, religious plurality, religious respect. I think that is just the wrong direction for the country and not within the spirit of our nation’s heritage,” he continued.

Governor Perry has since said he doesn't believe Mormonism is a cult, but he really hasn't distanced himself from the preacher. Does it matter to you that Mitt Romney is a Mormon? Let us know in today's LFN Poll of the Day.
