Morning, rodguy911 and everyone. Thanks AB and congrats to last weeks winners for their posts.
I will get the munchies out this morning and watch the fun.
I thought Romney’s speech on religion was great and very misreported or interpreted by most everyone with a dog in the fight. Like Rush, I thought it was fantastic and well timed. It amazes me nobody seems to think it’s important to ask religious questions to other candidates in either party. Although I’m sure Hillary would say she’s very religious (wink-wink) and the media would buy it.
Mttt did do an excellent job on his "I am a Mormon speech so what",
Again I ask the question of all what would Mitt the Mormon do that Mitt the Methodist would not do? Is there any reason(rational) to believe that Mitt will govern any differently as Mormon than as a Methodist, Catholic or any other religion? I don't think so!!(And by the way he is still my # 2 choice behind Fred)
We vote the man in as President not his Religion,and if a person does not have freedom of religion here, where in heck does he.

I agree, and I think it’s an absolute outrage and abomination that this man is being pilloried and crucified over something we all treasure:
the supposedly impenetrable right to our choice of religion, guaranteed by the Constitution, and an expectation of a zone of privacy around that issue.
I’m not looking at him at my 1st choice in this campaign, but from my observations:
it’s clear he is a good and decent man
from a rock-solid family (even in those
contentious and prejudiced times, his
father apparently never had to go through
this ugly religious dissection)
who worked diligently to achieve his
professional and personal goals and
has been extraordinarily successful
who has raised a fine family of 5 sons
with a lovely and decent wife
whose life has never been linked to a
whiff of personal scandal, of which I’m
aware, and appears to adhere to a
high moral code of personal conduct
Yet, somehow today that zone of respect and “privacy” apparenlty only applies to:
killing inconvenient babies
and excludes that truly personal and private right of all our lives:
our religion.
