Mitt Romney: “I believe in my Mormon faith, and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers. I will be true to them…”

On the recordDecember 5, 2007
I believe in my Mormon faith, and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers. I will be true to them and to my beliefs. Some believe that such a confession of my faith will sink my candidacy. If they're right, so be it. But I think they underestimate the American people. Americans do not respect respecters -- excuse me -- believers of convenience.
