Looks like Romney is planning a speech soon. Should be interesting.

The article first appeared in the Philadelphie Inquirer and it is no fan of President Bush, it appears. Would Romney be able to assure swing voters that he would not merely perpetuate the faith-based thinking, and the rejection of empirical reality, that has trapped us in a ruinous war?

If Dickie Polcat is against Romney, then Mitt can’t be all bad...

It’s interesting to me that Romney is planning a speech to address the situation.

So when will we call for Hillary to answer questions about her religion? And Obama to answer questions about his religion-- be it black supremacy, militant Islam or faux Christianity flavored with both?

I just hope our fellow Christians find this whole Mormon-bashing thing is worth the cost.

I think there will be consequences to it that will mean uncomfortable and irrelevant discussions of the religious beliefs of many conservative candidates from now on. Liberals don't care if a candidate is Mormon or not, but fellow Christians have now made it OK to attack a candidate's religion, so don't be surprised when it's used on you next.

I think Mormon-bashers have provided the rope with which the Left will hang many religious conservative candidates.

If Willard Romney can make a case why a POTUS who believes in a cult based on the following document:

Scribbled in the hand of J. Smith the founder, then maybe just maybe we should take his candidacy seriously.

You are so right. There will be a price to pay for making religion the defining issue in campaigns.

Let’s face it, I mean really, how could anyone vote for a man who has been deluded by and is a member of a cult? Do these delusions tell us anything about his decision-making abilities?

I have mixed feelings. I am not Mormon, but have family and friends who are. They seem normal, and they seem intelligent. I don’t know why they joined what seems to me to be a very out there religion. Then again, I suppose the story of Jesus is crazy to people who haven’t had their eyes opened.
I’m not sure it would make him a bad President. But I’m not convinced he would be a good one anyway.

By your standards, then, no candidate should be elected who has beliefs that are odd to you, or to some undefined group of voters. Is that your position?

Well, gosh. If you say so, there's obviously no need for further discussion. The matter is closed.

What "mormon-bashing" are you referring to? They can't ask Mitt any tough questions without being accused of Mormon-bashing. When all else fails, being the victim is the go-to best solution by him and his supporters.
