Why is it that on another FR thread about Elizabeth Smart (A Mormon) that there is nothing but blessings and kind words, and wishes for a long and happy marriage for the young lady, and no mention of her religion? I think if we want to be consistent we need to focus on why we really don’t support Romney, and it’s not his religion. Because we can love Elizabeth and dislike Romney shows the real truth. His religion is a non-factor.

There is no contradiction here. I wish Mitt Romney blessings and kind words for a long and happy marriage too. But when he, or Elizabeth Smart, throws a hat in the ring, I want to know everything I can about them. Policy positions, character, belief systems (faith as well as ideology), leadership styles, presentation style, intelligence, conflicts of interest, etc. It all matters. It may be that I would not assign equal weight to every fact I learn about a candidate, but it all matters.
