Romney dismissed on the basis of bigotry (he’s Mormon. Note to bigots: get over yourself about it, he’s running for president not pastor)

I'd suggest if you want to be consistent, then issue the following bulletins: Note to Baptists: get over yourself about it...if you vote for fellow Baptist Huckabee, then you're a bigot 'cause you're voting for a pastor, not a president. Then you'd also have to say: Note to Mormons: get over yourself about it...if you vote for fellow Mormon Romney, then you're a bigot 'cause you're voting for an ex-LDS bishop, not a president.

Let's show some consistency...or do you always go around utilizing liberal pot-shot tactics by engaging in name-calling?

Unless you are trying make a joke out of the fact that Huckabee’s a pastor, you are not making sense.

I don’t know of anyone going around saying other candidates are unfit to be President because of the particular sect or Church they belong to. Only Mitt, despite being the one frontrunner married to his first wife, is hit with that, in some cases from freepers with “mormon” issues.

The consistent position is to check their morals and values, understand that any President will be working for all Americans of many different faiths, and not dismiss a candidate just because they don’t go to the same church as yourself.

The original term ‘bigot’ referred to French women who looked down at people who went to the ‘wrong’ church, back when Europe had wars between catholics and protestants. If the shoe fits ... Americans decided that fighting wars over what church you went to was stupid, and we decided on religious liberty instead and the 1st amendment. That’s worked out far better than having a 30-years-war over such things.
