Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

"It's a pity we can't all just forget about religion."

I agree -- and/or keep it as a personal matter, and never judge one another based on personal religious beliefs...

I must say, tho, shame on Romney for playing into the whole, rampant anti-mormon sentiment that surrounded his campaign. Rather than give the speech he gave -- which was purely an appeal to Bible belt Christianity, Romney should have said, "Yes, I'm proud of my own heritage. I've been married to the same women for decades, and we've raised a bunch of decent kids" -- which is a whole lot more than most of the other republican contenders could have said... And that lifestyle represents "morality" better than an affiliation with any organized religous movement, imo...

That said, Romney would have sold his soul and all his convictions to serve his political end. He was the ultimate "flip-flopper" on several core issues...
