Let’s keep religion out of this.

Let's keep religion in this.

(After all, unlike TrueFact, the majority of Americans did as of just six years ago!)

A Freeper posted a Rasmussen late 2006: [see Election 2008: 43% Would Never Vote for Mormon Candidate (Rasmussen Poll) ]. According to that excerpt:

The Rasmussen Reports survey found that 35% say that a candidate's faith and religious beliefs are very important in their voting decision. Another 27% say faith and religious beliefs are somewhat important. Ninety-two percent (92%) of Evangelical Christian voters consider a candidate's faith and beliefs important. On the partisan front, 78% of Republicans say that a candidate's faith is an important consideration, a view shared by 55% of Democrats. However, there is also a significant divide on this topic within the Democratic Party. Among minority Democrats, 71% consider faith and religious beliefs an important consideration for voting. Just 44% of white Democrats agree.

So…what % of the following groups found that a candidate’s faith and religious beliefs were an important consideration for voting?
(1) Americans: 62%
(2) Evangelical Christians: 92%
(3) Republicans: 78%
(4) Democrats: 55% [still a majority]

Really? You have no idea what you are saying. If you folks continue to rail about Romney being Mormon, you’re going to end up having 0bama for 4 more years. And who knows what he is? But given a choice of the lesser of two evils, I’m going to do all I can to NOT re-elect 0bama. That include trying to convince you short-sighters to just hold your collective noses and go vote for Romney come November....all of you. Geez. What other choice is there? Some stupid protest vote or non-vote?
