Bill Clinton & Mormons

Clinton told a group of reporters Tuesday night that he attended "Recruiting presentations" held by young missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-day Saints, to which GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney belongs, while growing up in Hot Springs, Ark. According to Politico, Clinton spoke highly of the Mormon religion, saying that he "Admires the church for its high ethical standards and belief in a celestial kingdom." Ref. Source 4

Mormons and Clinton Bill

That was funny to think about. There have been guys in the church that did worst so maybe / maybe not. He may not have been President if he were a Mormon at the time, we'll leave that for Mitt

Bill Clinton & Mormons Studies Doctrine Mormon

Mormons are subject to the same temptations and foibles as anyone else. However, it is true that if Clinton had joined the Church and was active and believing to a high degree, it's likely he would not have had the Monica incident. Likely he would not have become or remained a Democrat as to be such puts one into direct opposition to various critical doctrines.

Since many church leaders including the late Pres. Faust were democrats I doubt his political persuasion would be a factor. In office power can corrupt. Even Mitt will have his temptations to deal with should he win. I do agree that maybe Bill would have been less likely to commit the folly.

Emphasis on 'late'. One can give a pass to those as it was once possible in their lifetimes to be a good Mormon and Democrat.

You have to admit though... Bill Clinton does have that Mormon look, he could have even been a return missionary and now serving as a stake president somewhere.
