We need to stop that association of candidates with people that share the same backgrounds, beliefs, and thoughts.
Obama’s association with radical Muslims, leftists like Bill Ayers and radical black racists like Rev. Wright, were very important in forcasting what he would do with power and how he would view the constitution and America.
Mitten’s sub-culture of Mormonism is important to understand because it will influence civic decisions and how he views the equality and rights of those outside the cult and his small circle of associations. His inability and refusal to reach out to conservative voters (40% of the electorate) is telling on how much he’s internalized Mormonism’s “us versus them” way of life and thinking.
He has a difficult time relating to the American mainstream and is drawn to the isolated fringes important to elitists and so he is out of touch and rejecting of most people. We dont’ need another President who views mainstream Americans as his enemy to be shut out and ordered around with the top-down power of a paranoid, small and isolated man.
As they say, character matters.
