If Mitt Romney is the good, upstanding member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that he says he is, then he swore a solemn oath on pain of death in an LDS temple promising to consecrate "everything with which the Lord has blessed you" to his church.

In other words, he swore on his life that we will put the LDS Church ahead of everything.

I would like Romney to clarify for the nation this important question: If elected president, which oath will you stand by, your LDS Church oath or the presidential oath of the Constitution?
