		<description>I actually agree with you to a point.  I don&#039;t give a crap about the NPR stuff, but I agree Mitt is more then a little too slick for his own good and seems to have no core beliefs at all.  

That said:

You see, every time I hear Bill Clinton talk, I am overcome by the feeling that he is bullshitting us. Not in the usual sense that all politicians bullshitâ€”much worse than that. He oozes some vacuous froth of phony friendliness, lying through his teeth as he simultaneously smiles and grits â€˜em, and topped off with a heaping tablespoon of condescension.

Please, please tell me you are intellectually honest enough to realize that I can change that name and justifiably feel the same way.  Because he did the exact same thing.</description>

		<description>Candidates SHOULD refuse to answer questions about religion.

Why? Two reasons, the Bible, and the Constitution.

1) The New Testament has Jesus criticising the Pharises, who pray aloud in public, for the purpose of demonstrating their piety. He says instead that we should pray in a private place in our houses, not in public. When presidential candidates proclaim their faith in public, they are using their religion to promote their quest for power. This should make all Christians oppose each candidate who prays or proclaims his faith in public. To do so uses religion for personal gain. Doing so should disgust us.

2) Article VI, the last substantial part of the Constitution says &quot;...but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.&quot; Presidents swear an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, and to the extent that their religions are incompatible with the Constitution, they are to support the Constitution instead. To the extent that it can be inferred that the media is colluding with government in order to set up a sort of religious test, such questions by members of the media subvert the Constitution.

JFK dealt with this issue when he ran as a Catholic. Was his loyalty to the Pope greater than that he owed to the Constitution? Does Romney&#039;s Mormonism compromise his ability to uphold his oath?  Should we be concerned?

It does not matter. Ours is a predominantly Christian nation, but we have a totally secular government. &quot;Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...&quot; First amendment.

Religion should not be debated in presidential races. It is not seemly to do so. It violates the spirit, if not the letter of the Constitution as well. If we care about the free exercise of our religion, or our freedom of conscience, we must be very careful about the topic of religion in presidential races.

I&#039;m an atheist, and a Ron Paul supporter, in spite of the fact that he is religious.  But Ron Paul makes a point of saying that he does not make religion a point in his campaign.  Ron Paul knows that our freedom of religion is a result of the separation of church and state.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;You see, every time I hear Mitt Romney talk, I am overcome by the feeling that he is bullshitting us. Not in the usual sense that all politicians bullshitâ€”much worse than that. He oozes some vacuous froth of phony friendliness, lying through his teeth as he simultaneously smiles and grits â€˜em, and topped off with a heaping tablespoon of condescension.&lt;/i&gt;

Because he IS bullshitting us.  

&quot;Vacuous froth of phony friendliness&quot; - damn near poetic.

And not to mention how he has defined him as very good-looking.  What?! I find him - at best - bland looking.</description>

		<description>Hmmm, is there &lt;i&gt;nothing&lt;/i&gt; in the Book of Mormon that contradicts the Bible?  If there is, which one does Mitt &quot;believe&quot;?  (That&#039;s in quotes because I suspect that the guy believes only in himself.)</description>
