"You say much to prove that you do not understand what you are talking about."

Really?

"There IS no -state- test for religion. Anyone of any faith is -elibible- to run for the office. That has no bearing on what -voters- may weigh in casting their votes. If you are serious you get an F for reading comprehension. If you are a propaganda agent you get a D+ for only hauling in really stupid people.

If you are serious you're the one who gets an F for reading comprehension.

As a side note I may use ANY criteria I choose to pick a candidate, that is constitutional.

Of course you can.

Pay attention

"All Americans have the guaranteed right to consider their personal faith, and a candidates religion, when voting, it is protected by our constitution. Don’t try to challenge that."

Excuse me? I NEVER challenged that reality. GET REAL!

"Listen you want to support Romney be my guest."

Get your facts straight BEFORE you jump out there with knee-jerk comments.

No, you. Lol, classic inability to distinguish that the Constitution restricts government, not people.

“You certainly are testy, calm down.”

Well that is a point in his/her favor. The rising frustration indicates a dullard rather than a deceiver.

Dead wrong, either way.

**However, we do not hear much from Mitt Romney about his Mormon beliefs and how his Mormon beliefs shape his philosophy of life and his worldview. Should we ask Mitt Romney more questions about how the Mormon faith shapes his life?**

Why ask?

Here are the answers:

Find out about a cult

"You certainly are testy, calm down."

So, instead of offering apology for not having your facts straight before you jumped out there with your accusatory kneejerk comments, you offer another insulting comment, as per your usual M.O.:

Are you PROJECTING? (You do have a history, you know):

No kidding.

Your comments continue to display either intellectual disonesty, or incompetency in reading comprehension. Buzz off, you bore me.

You two tag-teamers play well together, don't you. /s

BTW, I'll be happy to dub you FR's go-to expert on what constitutes the definition of dullards and deceivers.

WOW. You really are obsessed with me, that hasn't happened since college.

Tracking my mega posting history to find references to wine, to prove some point (although no one will know what point you are tying to make).......do you have a life?

As I sip some wine, eating cheese and crackers I will ponder what your problem is.

You have trumpeted/defended/talked about Romney in your posts, if you are not supporting him just say so.

Really kido, take a walk, have a drink, watch a movie and stop obsessing on me...it's starting to get weird.

Oh, yea. Apologize for what? All I said was if you want to support Romney go ahead.

I guess I should apologize for not being more clear: If you WANT to support Romney go ahead, I DO NOT care.

Psalm courtesy ping, thought you'd might get a kick outa this obsession.

"WOW. You really are obsessed with me.

Don't flatter yourself. I never heard of you until you made your knee-jerk false accusation against me. It was then I checked your posting history.

I invite readers to check it, also. Talk about an "obsession"!! WOW!

Take a hike.

I appreciate the ping. This one is quite the blunt instrument in little Lord Fauntleroy’s arsenal.

I really can’t decide if it is mendacious or stupid. I suppose it could be both.

I certainly hope there are no devout evangelical protestants voting for that evil papist Santorum.

Good thing they can pretend they hate him for his support of Specter, rather than due to bigoted anti-catholicism.

What do you think we'd find if we "Googled" these key words: "The anti-Christ Beast riding the Great Whore of Revelation free republic forum?

I cringe -- not daring to find out.

Good, it seems you are going to lay off the posts like 22.
