I might be a bigot but i don’t care. Religious belief DOES matter to me. I don’t want a muslim for instance to be the POTUS for obvious reasons. What a person believes in tells us alot about what kind of decisions he’ll make in office.

Islam is the only religion that would disqualify someone for me. Other than that, it is risky business to use one's religion as a barometer to judge a candidate's political philosophy.

It should be a reliable barometer but it isn't. If it were almost all Roman Catholics would vote similarly and they don't. Santorum and the Kennedy's have very little in common.

That philosophy worked great in Jimmy Carter's case, didn't it?

Of course, the fly in that ointment was that if didn't elect Carter, we would've ended up with Ford. Ford might've ended up being worse than Carter. We'll never know. But it was pretty well accepted that Carter was much more Christiany than Ford.

I oppose Romney for political reasons, not religious reasons.

The Washington Post doesn't give a flying fig about Robert Jeffress's or your concernes about Romney's religious beliefs. They want discord within The Republican Party and, sorry to be so blunt, people like you are falling for it.

In The Washington Post's eyes, you are the equivalent of the people at Infest Wall Street. That is to say, useful idiots.

Sorry for the directness. Sometimes it takes a little tough love to get a point across.
