Should a Christian vote for a Mormon president?

J. D. Kidd, Cape Coral Florida October 2012

If you do an internet search on the subject line you will get over 8 million hits on Google. Clearly, the 2012 presidential election has produced perhaps unprecedented interest and wide diversity of opinion within faith communities all across the country. As the church bulletin board of a Texas congregation in the photo above illustrates, biblical Christianity just may have devolved to its lowest level since I first voted in a presidential election in 1972. While I do not share the sentiments expressed on that church bulletin board above, it effectively makes the point that for many Christian voters in 2012 our choices appear to be between worse and worser (if youll permit me to butcher the grammar just a bit). By that expression I mean that recently our electoral choices in 2008 were worse than in 2004 and our choices in 2012 are worse than in 2008. To further illustrate, a few Sundays ago our pastor used the term The New Normal in context with the downward spiral of morality in the 21st century. How appropriate, I thought, that likewise our choices at the top of the presidential ballot have become, sadly, The New Normal. I think you get the point. All that said, Im struggling with what I will do when I enter the voting booth on Nov 6th. Perhaps you are as well. However, the purpose of this posting is NOT to sway you into voting for or against a particular candidate. Nor is it my purpose to discourage you from voting, to sit this one out so to speak. On the contrary, I believe that our God-ordained constitutional republic form of government bestows the right and duty on each of us to show up on Nov 6th regardless of the choices offered on the ballot. I also believe just as

strongly that our choices should only be made after much prayer, biblical discernment, and use of our God-given wisdom. Therefore as part of your own personal decision making process, I humbly submit for your consideration some thoughts and online references that you may find enlightening. Before I move to the primary focus of this posting, which of course applies only to the Republican nominee, the current incumbent and nominee of the Democrat party deserves some attention. Barrack Obama: Muslim? Christian? or Secular Humanist? There is no question about our presidents Muslim roots which have been widely reported and documented (reference The Emergence of President Obamas Muslim Roots at http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2009/06/abc-news-jake-tapper-andsunlen-miller-report-the-other-day-we-heard-a-comment-from-a-white-house-aide-thatneverwould-have/). However, if you are more interested in Barrack Obamas most current statement of his personal faith relationship to Jesus Christ consider the following quote given in response to a question in Albuquerque New Mexico in Sept 2010: I'm a Christian by choice. My family didn't frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. And my mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew, but she didn't raise me in the church. So I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead being my brothers' and sisters' keeper, treating others as they would treat me. I think also understanding that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility we all have to have as human beings, that we're sinful and we're flawed and we make mistakes, and that we achieve salvation through the grace of God. (Reference source at http://blogs.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/archive/2010/09/28/president-obama-says-weachieve-salvation-through-the-grace-of.aspx) What do you make of the presidents comments? According to David Brody, CBN News Chief Political Correspondent, it definitely sounded more evangelical than any of President Obamas previous statements about his faith. I will never attempt to judge the sincerity of anyones statement of faith in Christ; thats a matter solely between the person and the God who sees all, knows all, and will one day judge all. However, when it comes to discernment in voting consistent with biblical Christian values, I am compelled to move past the presidents words and examine his actions (his views on the sanctity of life, the institution of marriage, the moral hazard of debt, objective truth, etc). Stated another way, I have to set aside the John 3:16 of the candidate and come to terms with how I will deal with the imperative of Romans 13 should a governing authority ascend to (or remain in) power whose world view and actions are decidedly not in accordance with moral principles and biblical Christianity. By the way, Romans 13 applies to all candidates throughout all levels of government, not just the presidential nominees of both major political parties. In the late 1970s theologian and philosopher Francis Schaeffer, one of the foremost evangelical thinkers of the 20th century, published his classic work How Should We Then Live? The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture. Dr. Schaeffer writes
2

extensively throughout his book on the subject of humanism, or as this philosophy is commonly known today, Secular Humanism. In defiance of Elohim - our creator God -, Secular Humanism embraces human reason, ethics, social justice and philosophical naturalism, while specifically rejecting theology, religious faith, and objective biblical truth, among other things, as the basis of morality and decision making. It falsely supposes that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or a god. Dr. Schaeffer concludes his work and indictment of Secular Humanism with the following admonition specifically for Christians: This book is written in hope that this generation may turn from the greatest of wickedness, the placing of any created thing in the place of the Creator, and that this generation may get its feet out of the paths of death and may live. Sadly, 36 years after Dr. Schaeffers warning, we have a president who proclaims a Christian faith but whose associations, past and present, are immersed in a culture of death, deceit and rejection of eternal truth. My intent here is not to recite all the reasons why the Obama presidency must be rejected by voters in November. At this point Im sure youre all on information overload regarding the subject or perhaps have already voted early. But in case you are still undecided, I recommend you go see the movie 2016: Obamas America (for more information see their website at http://2016themovie.com/). Its a very compelling expose of what we might expect from a second term should President Obama be re-elected. Also, the online version of Christianity Today published a short article this past June titled Why We Should Reexamine the Faith of Barack Obama by Owen Strachen. (read more at http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2012/junewebonly/why-we-should-reexamine-the-faith-of-barack-obama.html). The sources mentioned above are by no means the only references on the topic of how Secular Humanism has attempted to destroy the objective truth of the Bible. There are countless study courses, books and articles on the web for your own personal growth. I will mention only two others that Ive found useful. In 1990 Dave Breese published Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave, a classic, concise synopsis on the subject. The seven men are Darwin, Marx, Wellhausen, Dewey, Freud, Keynes, and Kieregaard. Breese walks the reader through a concise expose of each of their errant philosophies, explaining how the unseen hand of Secular Humanism is controlling thought and activity in much of the world today including, I believe, the Obama agenda. By the way, if Breese were still alive I think he might consider adding three more men to make it a kind of perverse top-ten list: Saul Alinsky (Rules for Radicals), the Muslim Prophet Muhammad, and the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith. More on him later. To better understand the counterfeit secular religion of the enemy it is supremely important to have a firm grasp on biblical truth. So, lastly, I encourage you to consider The Truth Project, a DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of 13 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett and sponsored by Focus on the Family (learn more at http://www.thetruthproject.org/)

In summary, I believe our president has a Genesis 3 problem. I believe he and those who have mentored his rise to power have bought into the original lie from Satan that they can be like God (Gen 3:5). They have replaced the Creator with the creature just as Dr. Schaeffer warned. The Genesis section of the Pentateuch and the story of the Fall of Man bring me to Mitt Romney and the subject at hand. The prospect of Christians voting for a Mormon president is no less troubling than re-electing Barack Obama. Mitt Romneys Mormonism: A Sect Within Christianity? or Occult Religion? You may have picked up from the subtleties of the preceding opinion that I typically dont vote for Democrat candidates aligned with the religion of secular humanism. To remain fair and balanced, I have exactly the same stance when it comes to certain Republican and Independent candidates who ascribe to the same lies from the pit of hell. So, I was somewhat pleased when the 2012 Republican slate of primary candidates was forming and several solid choices were emerging. Too bad things didnt pan out so well. In the interest of full disclosure up front, I am not now, nor have I ever been a strong supporter of Mitt Romney. This is a source of mild division within our household with Paul Ryan being our only rock of common ground, thank goodness. Our conflict over Gov. Romney is understandable. He has a solid plan to get the US economy back on track, along with the personality and background to execute. The Romney family by observation and all accounts is to be admired. He is exemplary in his commitment to his religion having served as bishop of his church ward (ecclesiastical and administrative head of his congregation) at Belmont, Massachusetts, from 1981 to 1986. From 1986 to 1994, Romney presided over the Boston Stake, which included more than a dozen wards in eastern Massachusetts with a total membership of almost 4,000. Within Mormonism Mitt Romney is a member of the Melchizedek priesthood. However, to begin this discussion, and to gain a more compete understanding of Gov. Romney, I have to begin with a short refresher on Mormonism and its largest branch, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) to which the Romneys belong. Theres no shortage of information, pro or con, about Mormonism. So, the purpose of this posting is not to examine all the tenants held by the LDS church and the other hundred or so braches of Mormonism. Nor will I delve into the details of the four official, canonical scriptures to which the LDS church adheres, also known as the Standard Works. The Standard Works are: 1) King James Version of the Bible but only so far as correctly translated by Prophet Joseph Smith; 2) The Book of Mormon - Another Testament of Jesus Christ; 3) Doctrine and Covenants (aka D&C); and 4) The Pearl of Great Price containing the Book of Abraham, the Book of Moses, and writings by Joseph Smith including an extract from his Inspired Version of the Bible, a brief history of his life, and the Articles of Faith. Fallacies, fantasy, and folly are woven throughout the Book of Mormon, D&C, and the Pearl of Great Price. In short, Mormonism is a false religion and a counterfeit of biblical Christianity. It is also happens to be the most successful and well organized of all American cults. To document their erroneous beliefs I need only to highlight their two most glaring apostate

doctrines involving their perverse nature of God and distortion of salvation by grace. If you want to examine the various other areas of Mormon doctrinal apostasy and bizarre beliefs, an excellent starting point and reference source is the Mormonism Research Ministry (http://www.mrm.org/about). You could skip the rest of what I have to say, simply go this site, and immerse yourself in everything MRM has compiled (caution: you may never surface again until after Election Day!). Be sure to read Bill McKeevers short article Should Christians Support a Mormon Running for President? The Nature of God Mormonism claims that God is an exalted man. Their claim is that though the God of this earth exists as our Creator, he himself was a created being in eternity past in another realm of existence. Their view of God is summed up by the famous Mormon couplet, "As man is, God once was; as God is, man may be." The historic understanding of this strongly implies that God the Father was once a sinner, and that we ourselves may model our mortal experience unto godhood after the mortal experience he once participated in. Related to this is the teaching that the trespass in the Garden of Eden (the fall of man), far from being the source of original sin, was a step toward becoming what God is. Compare this to biblical Christianity regarding the fall of man in Genesis 3 where in verse 5 Satans original lie you will be like God is exposed. This deceit of Satan has been around since the days of Adam and Eve and continues to corrupt mankind right up to today, even to the extent of forming the foundational basis for Mormonism and its worldwide outreach. My earliest study on this subject was the classic Decker and Hunt expose The God Makers and subsequently The God Makers II published by Harvest House in 1984 and 1993 respectively. The titles say it all. These books and DVDs of the same title are available on Amazon and other online sites. I also recommend reading more on how Mormons view the nature of God at http://www.mrm.org/nature-of-god Salvation by Grace The essence of the doctrinal difference between biblical Christianity and Mormonisms understanding of Gods grace is much more subtle and sinister than the obvious difference on the nature of God. I suppose this is why Mormons continue to claim we all believe in the same Jesus, the same atonement, and the same grace. Stated another way, one theologian wrote in a critical examination several years ago, that for missionary and public relations purposes, the LDS may present Mormonism as an addon, a kind of Christianity-plus. Nothing could be further from the truth. First, understand the truth. The biblical Christian understanding of the gospel message of the New Testament is clear - salvation may be received through Christ alone, by grace alone, by faith alone. Personal works serve as evidence of the genuineness of one's faith and relationship with Christ, but do not in any way (even partially) merit, earn, or prove one's worthiness of eternal life. In Ephesians, Paul wrote, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." (Eph 2:8-9).

Now for the lie. The Mormonism Research Ministry (MRM) provides a good introduction and overview on this topic in their article Salvation According to Mormonism. To quote from the MRM website: The Mormon language on salvation can be confusing and difficult to parse. Leaders speak of salvation by grace and relying upon the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah (2 Nephi 2:8), but these phrases mean something in Mormonism that still tragically make it a false gospel. Mormonism teaches of a general salvation and an individual salvation. General salvation refers to the unconditional, universal gift of resurrection to all. Individual salvation refers to the process one must go through to receive exaltation in the highest heavenly kingdom of the afterlife, the Celestial Kingdom, where one may eternally enjoy family and become a God over his own spirit children. While Mormonism teaches that this process is made possible by the necessary merits of Christ and blessings of his atonement, and that gracious guidance, encouragement, and strengthening is granted throughout the journey, it nevertheless teaches that the decisive factor which determines one's final destination is one's personal, meritorious righteousness and worthiness. To comprehend the irreconcilable gulf between Christian salvation and Mormon salvation it is best to learn their understanding from the words of one of their own prophets. Elder Orson Pratt Sr. (1811-1881) was a leader in the LDS movement and an original member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles. Regarding the Divine Authenticity of the Book of Mormon he stated the following in 1850: The nature of the message in the Book of Mormon is such, that if true, no one can possibly be saved and reject it; if false, no one can possibly be saved and receive it. In other words, since salvation is received through Christ alone, by grace alone, by faith alone, then Mormonism is a false religion whose followers are destined to eternal separation from the one true God. On a related note, a closer parallel of Mormonism might be Islam rather than biblical Christianity. Mormonism and Islam are both derivatives of Judaism and Christianity. Both have placed their followers into spiritual bondage. And like the founder and original Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, Muhammad in the seventh century claimed new revelations and produced in the Qur'an a corrected version of the Jewish and Christian scriptures, presumably by divine dictation. Few will dispute that Islam in the first millennium was a new and is still another religion, and Muslims do not claim to be Christian, although they profess a deep devotion to Jesus. Islam has Muhammad, the Quranand Jesus. Mormonism has Joseph Smith, their Standard Worksand Jesus.

If this essay and the potential of having a Mormon president have sparked an interest in further study, I recommend the following online sources:
Southern Baptists have for many years maintained an active interest in understanding world religions and cults from a biblical perspective.

The Institute on Religion and Public Life, is an interreligious, nonpartisan research and education institute whose purpose is to advance a religiously informed public philosophy. Their website, First Things, contains an archived March 2000 Public Square article titled Is Mormonism Christian? by Richard John Neuhaus. (read more at http://www.firstthings.com/article/2009/02/is-mormonism-christian-8). Articles of Faith, the 13 (some say 14) basic points of belief to which Mormons subscribe is explained on the website of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at http://mormon.org/articles-of-faith/. This is the official LDS website. What you get here is the public face of Mormonism. Thus, a word of caution is in order when viewing this website (or any other official LDS information): to know and recognize the counterfeit, you have to have a thorough understanding of true biblical Christianity. Also, it may be wise to read a companion document written by ex-Mormons titled The Fourteen Fundamental Articles or Beliefs of Mormons on the Recovery from Mormonism website at http://exmormon.org/d6/drupal/fourteen

Conclusion Going back to the original question, I will paraphrase Francis Schaeffer How should we then vote? Dr. Schaeffers thesis comes from the watchman passage of Ezekiel 33:111,19, the title contained in verse 10. And so it is with the 2012 election. There are numerous voices within biblical Christianity acting as watchmen, calling the faithful into a deeper understanding of our responsibility in the public square. In this election season these voices seem to fall generally into two camps with separate options depending on what you believe about Mitt Romney. Lets take a closer look at both options. Option 1: Dont Vote for Gov. Romney This view includes all those who for reasons of conscience can neither cast a vote for Barrack Obama nor Mitt Romney. In this discussion Im in no way advocating that someone just stay home on Election Day. Far from it! There are too many other issues at stake, state by state, to sit out the election altogether. It may be a US House or Senate race, or county commission, or state constitution amendment, or whatever, Christians need to vote. So back to the issue at hand, the only real choices remaining in this scenario are to decline to vote for ANY presidential candidate or choose one of the third party candidates. The option of withholding a presidential vote actually has quite a following. One of the most notable proponents of this tactic is Alan Keyes with "The Platform Republican Approach to the 2012 Election". To get the full effect of Keyes message you need to refer to his bog at http://loyaltoliberty.com/?p=1728. However, to save you some time and to get the essence of Keyes approach Ill pass along the following quote from his website: simply Vote NO to Obama, NO to Romney, and NO to socialism whatever party label it wears. Vote YES to all GOP candidates on the rest of their ticket that you believe have not, in their words or the record of their actions, repudiated the GOP Platform in any critical respect. Keyes continues The result sought by the strategy is also simple: to produce, on election day, a remarkable disparity between the total nationwide popular vote for Mitt
7

Should a Christian vote for a Mormon president?

Romney and the larger total, nationwide vote for the rest of the ticket. The existence and size of that disparity will signal both the strength and the effective disaffection of the conservative base the elitist faction leaders of the GOP are seeking to exploit, betray and ultimately discard. Whether Romney wins or loses, this will also contribute to the likelihood of a Republican majority in the U.S. House and Senate charged with thwarting the anti-republican, anti-constitutional, socialist moral and economic agenda. I admire Alan Keyes for a lot of reasons and I cannot fault anyone for signing on to his strategy. But I am not sure the potential effect is worth the risk. If youre interested in following what Keyes and other liberty minded conservatives have to say I recommend the Renew America website at http://www.renewamerica.com/. The other tact is to support a third party conservative or libertarian candidate. This view is maybe best illustrated by perusing the Christian-oriented USA News First website. For instance in June 2012, prior to the Republican convention in Tampa, their website posted an article titled Ron Paul or Virgil Goode are Best Obamney Alternatives (see http://www.usanewsfirst.com/2012/06/18/ron-paul-or-virgil-goode-are-best-obamneyalternatives/). No, thats not a typo in the title of the article. They really were intentional in combining the candidates last names. Youll not be surprised that the folks at USA News First share the same opinion of Obama and Romney as does Alan Keyes. OK, so maybe the libertarian or conservative angle is not where you are focused in this election. But maybe you are still thinking of sitting this one out. You are not alone if, as a biblical Christian and solely on the basis of Gods Word, you have concluded neither major candidate is worthy of your vote. Reasons for that position abound as illustrated by two online articles posted in the past few days: Is Obama an AntiChrist? What Does Jesus Christ Say? by Steven Andrew and Mitt Romneys Greatest Lie Christians Ignore by Bill Keller. You can view both articles at http://www.usanewsfirst.com/2012/10/21/isobama-an-antichrist-what-does-jesus-christ-say/ and http://www.usanewsfirst.com/2012/10/22/mitt-romneys-greatest-lie-christians-ignore/. To use a football analogy, the scenarios discussed above are like being faced with fourth and long, deep in your own territory, far from the end zone but early in the game. No team likes to be faced with a punting situation. But the team cant walk off the field just because they think there are no pleasing options on fourth down; they would have to forfeit the whole game. Thats kind of like what you do when you refuse to vote for ANY of the presidential candidates, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Constitution Party, or whatever. Also, the coach would be foolish on 4th down to have the quarterback attempt a highrisk pass to a receiver in double coverage downfield; the odds are highly in favor of turning the ball over to the opponent too close to the end zone, risking an easy score for the other side. Thats what you do when you are so adamantly opposed to voting for a Mormon that you choose a great third-party, liberty-loving candidate that has absolutely no chance of winning the election. Though the team doesnt like it, the best option the only real option is to punt. Sadly, many conscientious Christians view the 2012 presidential election as a punting situation.

Option 2: Vote for Gov. Romney Yes, reluctantly, thats my conclusion. A vote for Mitt is like a punt for the biblical Christian. But, like the football team, we have to look at the bigger picture, stay in the game, put a strong defense back on the field, and wait for the next series of downs. If Christ doesnt return sooner, the next series of downs is the 2014 mid-term elections and of course 2016. The reality is this, we owe to Mormon Americans respect for their human dignity, protection of their religious freedom, readiness for friendship, openness to honest dialogue, and an eagerness to join hands in social and cultural tasks that advance the common good. That, perhaps, is good enough, at least for this election cycle. Maybe this is the reason there seems to be a rising tide of Christian support for Gov. Romney in recent weeks. On Sep 12th of this year Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS) participated in a panel discussion on the topic at hand. Dr. Mohler stated "The Kingdom is not riding on whatever happens on Election Day and the church's mission isn't going to change regardless of what happens on Election Day". Another panelist, Russell Moore, dean of the School of Theology at SBTS added The question is not John 3:16 in terms of reading the regeneration of the person's heart. The question is Romans 13 does this person have the kind of wisdom to bear the sword on behalf of God's authority that He has granted to the state and can I trust that person to protect society?" These men offered solid, biblical advice as to how we as Christians should approach this election. You can read more about the SBTS panel discussion in the article Theologians Tackle 'Should Christians Vote for a Mormon for President? on the Christian Post website at http://www.christianpost.com/news/theologians-tackleshould-christians-vote-for-a-mormon-for-president-question81537/#Y7M6SRsRo5qTuSTG.99 If you have an extra hour to spare, you can view the video of the entire panel discussion The Mormon Moment? Religious Conviction and the 2012 Election on the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary website at http://www.sbts.edu/resources/chapel/chapelfall-2012/the-mormon-moment-religious-conviction-and-the-2012-election/. If you do not have an hour to spare, try to catch at least the last 25 or 30 minutes. To further build on Dr. Moores reference to Romans 13, I firmly believe the future POTUS will have been established by God as the Apostle Paul stated in verse 1. Gods sovereign working in the lives and governments of men is a consistent theme woven throughout scripture. From the time of Kings Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar, to Kings Cyrus and Darius III, to Alexander the Great, to Herod the Great and beyond, God has established kingdoms and governments for His purposes. Unless some cataclysmic event occurs between now and Nov 6th, one of two men, both of whom many Christians find unacceptable, will become president. Therefore, perhaps a more significant question for Christians, other than the Mormon question, is why would God allow this to be? Has God selected a left-behind Mormon to guide America though the Tribulation after His true church has been raptured to
9

Should a Christian vote for a Mormon president?

Heaven? Will God use the resources and logistics of an awakened LDS church as His instrument of assistance for the 144,000 faithful Jewish evangelists in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ during that awful time to come? What about a reelected Barack Obama? Would God permit him to lead our nation down the road of annihilation and punishment for the national sin of abortion? Who can know the mind of God? By the way, as important as the question of evil authority as head-of-state may be to Christians in America, this is a much more personal question for our Coptic Christian brothers and sisters in the aftermath of the recent Egyptian elections. Worldwide persecution of suffering Christians at the hands of radical Islamist governments and terrorists causes me to step back, pray harder for the persecuted Church, and think less critically about our own elections. As Dr. Mohler stated so well, We have kind of migrated sloppily in our thinking towards assigning a priestly role to the political process and sometimes in our own way we baptized it as our own American religion of American Christianity. We have to recognize that that is not only a constitutional problem (but that it) pales over against what that represents as a political problem. On that note, I will wrap this up with one final caution. Regardless of who wins on Nov 6th we as Christians need to continue to pray for our president. And nearly as important, we need to stand as watchmen against whatever evil scheme may develop out of government at any level against life, liberty or any other inalienable right granted by our sovereign Lord. You all are as familiar with what to guard against as any other concerned biblical Christian. However, permit me to mention just one, the Mormon White Horse Prophesy, which you will not typically hear discussed or see reported in most media outlets. Before you write me off as some kind of conspiracy theory nut-job, do your own research. Google the term, follow the links, and check out the MRM website previously referenced. While I admire Mormons such as Glenn Beck, W. Cleon Skousen (author of The 5000 Year Leap), and many others fighting to help restore our seemingly lost US Constitution, tread carefully with Mormons stating that our constitution is hanging by a thread. That may or may not be a code word but it is straight from a Mormon concept woven throughout their history since about the 1840s right up to at least 2010. Do not confuse this Mormon prophecy with the white horse rider of Rev. 19:11-16; the Rider of Rev.19 is none other than the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who returns to establish His Millennial Kingdom. No, the Mormons white horse rider is of human origin and more closely identified with the white horse rider of Rev. 6:2, the first of the socalled four horsemen of the apocalypse. The Mormon white horse rider was prophetically viewed by Prophet Joseph Smith as being the LDS church leadership coming forth to save our fragile republic and the US Constitution which was predicted to be hanging by a thread. Im amazed, but not surprised, at how world events continue to align and validate the pre-tribulation rapture of believers and pre-millennial return of Christ. (read more at http://www.mrm.org/white-horse-prophecy). On Nov 6th (sooner if you take the early option) you will make you own, very personal decision in the voting booth. As for me, I think Ill punt for Mitt. And lets get ready to get back on offense for the 2014 mid-terms!
