It ain't about his religion. It's about his politics. I don't like 'em.
"Andrew Sullivan's posting of a picture of the undergarment worn by some Mormons"
Oh I know he just did not go there. Those who live in Glass Freak Shows should not cast stones.
My response is always the same: Mormons have more in common with the values of mainstream American Christian denominations than do Jews. Would we be having this same debate over a Jewish candidate? I really don't think so.
To Mr. Dickerson - The First Amendment protects journalists. But Article VI of the Constitution protects candidates and elected officials from being subjected to a religious test.
So if I were Mitt, I would tell Dickerson to go to hell.
Leave it to the liberals to help him try to get past the Mormon issue -- until he gets the nomination. Then, it will be the only things that matters.
Didn't a mussie just get elected to congress? No one seems concerned about that. Who would you trust more?
What about Harry Reid and his Mormon beliefs?
How many people know Senator Dingy Harry is a Mormon?
He sure wasn't aspousing his Mormonism when he was talking like a liberal. I don't trust him no matter what. What bothers me is that he was a BIG star at the Idaho Republican Covention this year because of his Mormonism.
I wonder of Mormons are prepared for the deluge of Big Media stories about gold plates and talking animals is Romney became the candidate?
He shouldn't waste time on this issue. He should lay out his political positions, loudly and boldly, and keep pounding away at them until he is either elected or defeated.
His enemies are trying to draw him into a cul-de-sac, forcing him to waste time proving he's not weird. Ignore them. His potential friends want to know where he stands politically, and if he has the grit to stick by his guns when it all hits the fan. I have my doubts on the latter, and his challenge is to prove he's tough enough to take the pounding. Letting the enemy define the battlespace will only work against him.
The beauty of Romney is they have nothing to vilify except his religion. They can't call a Harvard Law grad stupid. They can't say he is fat, bald, short or ugly. They can't call a MA Governor a right wing kook. Thay can't call him corrupt or a Bushbot. They can't call him mean. This must frighten them terribly.
So that only leaves his religion. The same as their Senate Majority Leader's, who is (?)4th in line for the Presidency. Should Reid resign?
I don't have much respect for the political opinions of a person that believes that God used to be a man and that man will become a God.
