Sir Ron Paul is aligned with the Republican party for one reason. He panders to get votes. I can't believe how many sheepeople on this forum Worship him like he is smarter and more knowledgeable than a General Authority. Does Ron Paul attend any church on a monthly or weekly basis? Does he contribute more than 10% of his increase every year? Does he contribute to charity at all? This does matter. When millions of worthy LDS contribute more than most kind, courteous, cheerful, thrifty politicos. What does Ron Paul think about Mormons? You really think that Sir Ron Paul is a more spiritual man than Mitt Romney? Have any of you actually met Romney or Paul in person? Its sad people continue to trash Mitt Romney on an LDS forum. Where is all the banter and persuasion about how great a person Harry Reid is?ChelC wrote:That can be a pretty loaded question. In a society that has become so focused on feelings and not judging, it's a tough pill to swallow, too. We know how the Lord felt about charity, so that might be a good place to start looking. By charity I'm not talking about financial contributions either, but those mentioned in the gospels... patient, kind, long suffering, etc.Which candidates have evidenced the most compliance with the gospel?
Even Ron Paul who I think demonstrates long suffering has become a bit snarky lately - and for good reason, IMO.
My point is that it's pretty subjective, but I wish people would stop propping up political party as some sort of god. Vote on principle, instead of strategy. You simply cannot strategize your way out of the judgements of a just God.
Before Romney bowed graciously out of the 2008 race, How come his Faith was such a big issue? Why is not Nobama, Paul and McCain not questioned about their beliefs or faith?
