On fiscal issues, Romney is pretty good. On abortion and special rights for gays, though, his record is abysmal. I wish I could trust him, but he flipped on these issues just as he decided to run for president. Doesn't sound very principled to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-20080963812685709542008-01-03T22:37:00.000-06:002008-01-03T22:37:00.000-06:00I feel like the religious leaders are shooting the...I feel like the religious leaders are shooting themselves in the foot for this election year.

That would make him a great Chief of Staff, not a great president. Please don't run my country like a business, that just doesn't make a lot sense to me, and it's the reason why Ross Perot didn't win back in the 90s.<BR/><BR/>For example, John McCain is almost as consistent in his conservative voting record and stance on issues as Romney.(In fact, he's slightly more conservative on some big issues such as the energy crisis and stem cell research.) One of my least favorite people in the world, James Dobson, won't support McCain because of his stance on gay marriage. Because Dobson doesn't like him is enough for me <B>to</B> like him. <BR/><BR/>But McCain is far-more qualified than Romney, in terms of years of service, and the type of service he's done in politics. So I just can't agree with him saying Romney is the most qualified.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure where I stand on the religion issue. As a born-again Christian, of course I'd want the president of my country to believe in the same God and practice Christianity. But as the separation of church and state grows wider and wider, it's becoming more difficult to keep Christianity in politics.stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760765831975016535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-54197719334379566832007-12-29T08:04:00.000-06:002007-12-29T08:04:00.000-06:00Thanks for the feedback Stephanie.. sound slike yo...Thanks for the feedback Stephanie.. sound slike you are pretty well informed about his work. I am not a fan of Grudem's complementarian theology but found his thoughts to be a good response to those who are saying "Christians shouldn't vote for a Mormon". Did you disagree with any of his points on Romney?kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-70196706874053360672007-12-28T18:24:00.000-06:002007-12-28T18:24:00.000-06:00My experience with Grudem left a bad taste in my m...My experience with Grudem left a bad taste in my mouth... and it's still there 9 years later. (I did some PR during on of the many gender neutral NIV controversies.) World magazine published an article FULL of erroneous information regarding plans to revise the NIV bible, and Grudem jumped on his ill-informed bandwagon, along with several other higher-ups in the evangelical world, and more or less slandered the good men and women on the translating committee. Thankfully, the Zondervan and IBS filed ethics charges against Word magazine, and Evangelical Press Association reprimanded them for their poor journalism. <BR/><BR/>All that aside, Grudem said and did some hateful things to Zondervan and IBS that only an insider like me would know about. So, my opinion of him and several other "big guns" in that world isn't that high. And I plan to never work for a Christian business again... it's just too political and full of back-stabbing for my taste.<BR/><BR/>So I take his words for what they are... words. And his words don't mean too much to me. He should stick to theology, what is truly gifted at, and stay out of politics.stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760765831975016535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-48591586505304977392007-12-28T16:38:00.000-06:002007-12-28T16:38:00.000-06:00Not sure why Grudem felt the need to issue a posit...Not sure why Grudem felt the need to issue a position paper.. maybe it was a response to all of the "Christians shouldn't vote for a Mormon" rhetoric that is out there.. of course..
