Exactly right!
The No Religious Test Clause of the United States Constitution is found in Article VI, paragraph 3, and states that:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
MYTH had better hope a lot of women, communists, and homosexuals come out, but looks like the communists and homosexuals will be voting for Obama again.
Guess that leaves women.

Whats that got to do with my vote ???
Ohhhh! It gets under their skin. Kinda like 0bama.
Great, huh??? Love you!
Voters can use it against him and that's their right.
Voters can vote for or against any candidate for any reason. Bigotry, hate, (racism for obama), whatever.
I don't give a rip.
My point is, I'm not for Romney because he's not a conservative. I view him as a poseur and worse.
This election is too important. Romney can and must be stopped in the primaries.
Very true. I'm a Mormon, and I don't have any desire to vote for Romney, mainly because I don't think he has any convictions. I don't think he has a well-thought out core of political principles. He will pander and say whatever he needs to say out of political expediency, rather than acting out of the firm belief that this is the proper course of action which will benefit the country and preserve or enhance our liberties.
I think Zero wants to debate either Mitt or Perry...he lives in terror of having to face someone like Newt or Cain.. In fact, I doubt he would debate them if they get the nom.
True. We are not asked why we voted for whom... yet.
If I had noticed that you were the poster, I would have known better. Sorry. When I saw the content of the post, I wondered how it could have had over a 100 replies without being zotted.
“Oh yes, people have already been playing the religious hatred card on Romney.”
It is not “religious hatred” to practice discernment and object to the blasphemy, heresy and apostasy of Mormonism that worships a false god, false jesus and false prophet. You do realize that Willard actually believes that he will be a god someday with his own planet populated with people that will worship him.
That is true, no doubt.

Saundra, you should know better. It's not a free speech issue to be posting on FR, you can free speech anywhere you want -- and thusly your rights are not violated -- except perhaps FR (if you post love for MittR) or RedState.
BTTT
I would have to say that Newt Gingrich holds that distinction. Hands down.
And while Gingrich is not in my list of favored candidates, I'd take him over Romney without hesitation.
My gawd, that comment is stunning in its juvenile stupidity.
You are free to start your own blog or website and spout whatever opinion you want.
But the First Amendment doesn't stop with freedom of speech - it also clearly implies freedom of association, and Jim says he doesn't want to associate with Romney-pimping RINOs. You apparently think Jim should be forced to allow viewpoints on FR that he vehemently disagrees with.
So who is the one taking an anti-freedom approach here? Look in the mirror for the answer, Saundra. It is not censorship for Jim to set standards for his own website.
Problem is, Romney governed a liberal state and expresses liberal views.
So, you are championing a competent liberal, which is the worst of all possible kinds.
