Mit Romney has enjoyed somewhat of a surge both in the polls and in popularity after his historic address on his Mormonism.
Afterwards, Romney operatives were quick to take to the airwaves in a defense of Mormonism. The message driven home by so-called conservative hosts like Sean Hannity and Michael Medved was that "Mormons are Christians too."
The only problem is, Mormons have far more in common with Muslims.
Mormons believe that Joseph Smith is the last chief prophet of God in the end times, come to restore the "true faith." Muslims believe that Mohammed is the last prophet.
Mormons believe that when you die, you get your own world, over which you reign as its "god". Muslims believe that when you die, particularly in martyrdom, you get 72 virgins.
Mormons believe that Jesus was merely a spirit child, no more a son of God than any other Mormon believer. Likewise, to Muslims, Jesus was merely a prophet, lesser than Mohammed.
The Mormon writings of Joseph Smith have been shown to be fraught with misquotes of the Judeo-Christian scriptures and employing revisionist history. The Koran is also full of similar mistakes and lies, sharing with Mormonism an inherent ignorance of the faiths it claims to be built upon.
So why would any of this matter?
There's something altogether too slick about Mit Romney, something about him that is too rehearsed. Wash O'Hanley has even called him "phony."
Romney says that he has "evolvled" politically, in some cases just in time for this presidential election. From queer marriage, to government run socialist healthcare, unfettered access to abortion, and porous borders, Romney has worked hard to convince the nation that his positions today are solidly conservative. He has courted the True Christian vote with the promise that he shares our political priorities. After all, his campaign insists, he's a "Christian just like us."
The truth is, he isn't. He isn't even a false Christian.
True Christians would never vote for a man who would deceive a nation by telling us that Mormons are Christians too. Nor would we ever vote for a member of a cult that subverts God's Holy Word.
And if Romeny and his campaign can work so deftly to deceive us on matters as important as faith, in what other ways is he willing to pull the wool over our eyes?
We've already endured 8 years of "Slick Willie." We sure don't need a "Slick Mittie" to take his place.
