“This is why the people claiming piety and holy status by giving Obama a second term need to really consider the consequences of their actions above and beyond their hatred for Romney.”

It’s ridiculous, really. Politics and personal morality are separate, and you put both at risk by mixing them as they do.

According to the folks to which you refer, a Theocracy would be the ultimate ideal.

Politics is ultimately about an ugly winding path of compromise and deal-making until you achieve as much of your ultimate goal as is possible.

Morality either is or isn’t.

The policy of this site is now to mix politics and morality for no other apparent reason than because Romney is Mormon, and some folks just can’t stand Mormons for their own reasons that make no sense from the political goal that should be paramount.

This election is about Rescue and Recovery - not a judgment of morality on peoples’ souls.

This is almost like when you hear about people who deny their dying children any medicine for religious reasons and then claim holier than thou status afterwards.

Not this year - the stakes are far too high.

***That’s the policy? Where is it stated?
