‘Haley was raised in a Sikh family but is now a practicing Methodist.’

Yeah and Obama’s now a Christian right? Right?

Really Classy.

What is this? Republican’s eating their own?

What happened to Reagan’s 11th Commandment?

If Haley loses the primary, you might as well hand the seat to a Rat. Because none of Haley’s supporters are going to support the winner in the general.

Bobby Jindal was raised as a Hindu and is now a practicing Catholic.

Haley doesn’t seem like the best candidate. Even if Palin did touch her like Jacob touched the Losties...

So anybody raised from a family of a different faith can’t be converted to Christianity...So I guess all of those preachers preaching the the Word in other countries are wasting their time? HUH!

Jake Knotts is a horse’s ass, so it figures that he would back Andre Bauer. This is a great way to hand the office to the ‘Rat Party.

But, but, but — Romney has endorsed her, and so has Jenny Sanford, Mark Sanford, and Sarah Palin.

How is Haley not a good candidate?....you mean that somebody attacking her means she must have did something wrong? politicians use whatever means to win, on both sides!

People do change religions. Maintaining strict adherence to Sikhism is probably fairly difficult without a Sikh congregation nearby.

BTW, we have TWO in our area ~ used to be one but they had one of those Baptist-like falling outs and split in two.

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Jesus invited everyone to follow Him. Certainly you are not proposing that the Road to Salvation is closed to Indians.

The difference is that she works on Methodist Church Boards. She actually DOES something for her faith. What did Obama ever do for Trinity CHurch of Christ besides sit in the pews and doze off?

"“We already got one raghead in the White House, we don’t need a raghead in the governor’s mansion,”"

This kind of bigoted, racist language is what turns people off about Republicans. There shouldn't be ANY room in the party for jackasses like this moron.

The state GOP and the national GOP should demand - publicly - that he resign. This is unforgivable, especially in a year that portends huge gains for the GOP.

He IS saying that Christianity is closed to nikki! Or he supports one of the other candidates and likes dirty politics or he hates Sarah and Nikki because they are women

Trinity Church of Christ was an underground arm of Nation of Islam. Obama was up to his eyeballs in the church until his association with it started affecting him in the polls. They were selling his books on the church web site.
