So, say, Fred Thompson declares in September. And in his declaration speech he says he's runnin' cause it's a good "career move" on his way to becoming a god. And the press asks him to elaborate. And he says, "Well, I'm going to run my own planet one day; and runnin' a country is a good prepatory stepping stone toward that objective."
But that comment would only draw many follow-up MSM questions & queries & speculations. Columnists would wonder, "What kind of power trip is Fred on?"
Now ya know. What's interesting is that many LDS (and Mitt is likely one of them) believe they can become a god. And yet we have no MSM fury. We have no MSM follow-up queries or even initial questions along those lines.
And that's why your very statement doesn't address the full context of "religion." If a POTUS Candidate believes his ultimate eventual bully pulpit will be a throne on his own planet, ya better believe that it's a relevant issue!
Why should the MSM bother? You have done as good, or a better, job than they usually do of asinine twisting, speculating and downright viscious puking.
You may join the "pathetic lot" -- you are fully qualified for membership.
