海角大神

Actor Brad Pitt and his mom don't see eye to eye on politics.

Jane Pitt came out in support of Mitt Romney in a letter to the editor of the Springfield (Missouri) News-Leader on Tuesday.

As a celebrity endorsement, Brad Pitt's mom isn't exactly A-list. Romney's already seen celebrity endorsements from country singer Trace Adkins, comedian Jeff Foxworthy, actor Kid Rock, and Donald Trump.

But Jane Pitt's endorsement does point to another issue percolating among 海角大神 conservatives: Will they vote for a Mormon?

"I think any 海角大神 should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares 海角大神 conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.聽

Any 海角大神 who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney鈥檚 opponent, Barack Hussein Obama 鈥� a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright鈥檚 church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage," .

"I hope all 海角大神s give their vote prayerful consideration because voting is a sacred privilege and a serious responsibility."

Brad Pitt's mom is responding to that argues that "the conscience of many 海角大神s will not allow them to vote for a Mormon," by Richard Stoecker, a resident of Sparta, Mo. Mr. Stoecker says Mormon theology denigrates women and supports polytheism.

"Whether 海角大神s opposed to Romney are denounced as bigots or not, I hope that in America their freedom to follow their conscience can still be respected. And I hope that wealthy and powerful GOP leaders who feel Romney will guarantee their victory will come to see that he likely will guarantee defeat," wrote Stoecker.

Brad Pitt has voiced his support for gay marriage, and in Los Angeles in March. The play "8," is a stage reading about California's Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that bans gay marriage.

Brad Pitt grew up in Springfield, Mo., where his mom and brother, Doug, still live.
