I just can't believe Mitt Romney is the leading candidate for the GOP right now. The guy is a Mormon. I have no disrespect for Mormons but come on? Do we really want someone with those beliefs running such a diverse, polytheistic country?

Also, the guy looks like a sleezeball with that slicked back hair. Looks like Mel Kiper Jr. from ESPN... http://www.google.com/images?q=mel+...&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1728&bih=802

He's still technically a Christian which is good enough for America. Now, if he were a Muslim, that would obviously be different.

As long as most Americans don't learn about the polygamy and magical underwear (they won't), Romney should be okay.

If he ever ends up winning the vote, every anti-republican commercial during the election will mention how he bangs 59 women daily and sacrifices virgins for his magic pants.

My point was that someone who practices a religion with views that are at odds with 99% of the country probably shouldn't be leading it. It would set the U.S. back a decade, while the rest of the world continues its progression.

There are many layers involved here:

1. Mormonism is both by definition and content, a strange, fringe religion in the context of an ostensibly Judeo-Christian society.
2. Mormon attitudes to homosexuality and women are troubling and basically incompatible with the 21st century.
3. His mormonism is downplayed strategically and sold to the media and the public as Christianity. So even if you're a Mormon, his brand of mormonism is troubling.

As an atheist, my simple feeling is that the newer a religion is, the closer it is to charlatanism. The best I can hope for is an Abrahamic president who doesn't go on about it all the time.

Is Massachusetts still lagging behind the rest of the States due to this Romney character being it's governor?

A Governor can't decide on sweeping federal policies and regulations. Who knows what Romney would do if he had that power...
 
Donald Trump is the luckiest rich guy ever. He comes across as dumber than a post.
 
What's interesting about Trump is that he expresses his moronic views in such a candid way that you can't help but at least trust that he believes what he says, which is a farcry from most politicians who respond in very measured, careful and diplomatic language which isn't appealing to the layman and is often thought insincere.

If he does actually win the Republican nomination, he obviously won't carry the same rhetoric and he will have a team of experts for both domestic and foreign issues. So I don't think we can judge his 2012 election campaign based on the shit he's spewing right now. But he's most certainly the kind of guy that will stray away from what his advisers tell him to say and those moments will be golden.

The liberal reply to the Republican apprehension of Obama's "true belief" was that even if he were a Muslim, it shouldn't matter. Are you of the opinion that Islam's views are any more compatible with a 21st century America than are Mormonisms'?
 
At least he will ask real questions and not pose as the typical politician who pretends to do something but does nothing to actually change things in a meaningful way. Hopefully Rand Paul or Ron Paul run, we need real candidates and not this left right bullshit.

I'm watching the video the article linked to. A basic summary:

Trump: Obama's grandmother says he was born in Kenya. If anyone would know about his birth, it's her!

(Upon being told that the grandmother was misinterpreted and clarified Obama being born in the US:)

Trump: Why should I believe anything his grandmother says?

Jesus fucking Christ lol

Thanks for the summary ;)

Um, no. I don't think fundamentalist Christianity is compatible with modern life either. I would not vote for a deeply religious president of any stripe.

It's sad that I am forced to vote for vaguely or hypocritically religious candidates, but that's the real world for you.

But, Obama isn't a muslim... so it's a hypothetical about a hypothetical.

Rand and Ron Paul are both VERY right wing, and Rand, troublingly, hitched his wagon to the Tea Party and can't keep his story straight.

Obama is a centrist corporatist. The idea that he's leftists is ludicrous. In terms of political thought, the country has swung wildly to the right since the day Carter was chased out of office by enthusiastic young Neocons. This country is built on capitalism and in some ways, is naturally rightist, but it needs checks and balances in philosophy, as well as government.

I cannot speak for OuterWorldVoice, but "it shouldn't matter" in the sense that Obama's views seem to be a product of reason and careful observation and not dogma, so it shouldn't matter what his religion is as long as he's reasonable. Those who seek to discount someone solely because of religion are, ironically enough, usually other religious people who adhere to the "I'm Christian, you're Muslim" thing. That is why Mormonism may not work with the broad slice of the American public. For me, I don't care if someone chooses to espouse a personal religion, as long as the driving force behind their political views is reason. Of course, I think that "personal religion" is an oxymoron because it completely negates the tenets of religion that say its beliefs must be followed at the cost of everything else; so I would say that Christianity, when properly followed, isn't very amenable to 21st century America. Most religions are in the same boat in that sense. However, when it comes down to a choice between a dogmatic religious person who says crazy things and a religious person who is reasonable but perhaps ignoring vast portions of that religion, I would choose the latter as the lesser of two evils. For example, I would choose a very liberal Muslim or Mormon, rather than a very dogmatic Christian, or vice versa.

lol. I'll give Ron Paul the fact that while crazy he does stick to his guns but Rand is a sniveling GOP shill like all the rest.
 
He is a crass opportunist and publicity whore. I have to assume he doesn't believe most of the shit he says. As long as it's what will keep him in the headlines at the moment, however, he will keep fucking that dog.

several times, through careful manipulation of our bankruptcy laws like most rich business people who get in that situation.

But don't worry, he knows how to fix our economic woes!

I remember reading that he managed to underperform the New York real estate market with uncanny ability.
 
He's getting to be the Sheen of candidates. Can we drop this illusion that he's even a plausible candidate and forget this ever happened already?

Does that mean he's winning?

If I were Romney I would be stoked, because these assclowns will split the primary and eliminate his Mormon handicap. I think the RNC would LOVE it if he just wasn't a Mormon. If he gets the nomination, the media is going to be full of information about Mormonism, including these gems:

1. Drinking hot beverages is sinful.
2. Jesus came to America, like Eddie Murphy.
3. God has a physical body, made of flesh and bone.
4. Black people couldn't enter the priesthood until.... 1978 because according to them, having black skin is a curse from god.
5. There are multiple universes with multiple gods.
6. Dinosaur bones are extraterrestrial.
7. Mars and Venus have dry riverbeds and are the source of our nice wet ones.

Gotta say. I don't know much about Mormons but that list is hilarious. Though I bet you could make some strange ass lists about Muslims Christians Jews Hindus and buddhists.

Funny, this is a common Christian belief also, look up the Curse of Ham.

Today it's not talked about much, seeing as it's been mostly omitted from most modern bibles or written very cleverly to slip by unnoticed, but it's still built into the foundation of the religion and was one of the things that "justified" the American slave trade.

Oh I know. You could make equally or MORE crazy lists from any religion. The point is that the lists will be made, and the religion will come under scrutiny if he gets the nomination in a way that Abrahamic religions usually don't.

A Scientologist candidate would be just as epic.

But the funny thing is that he is probably the most sane normal of the front runner bunch.

Palin? LOL.
Huckabee - Preacher who also recently went off on the birther stuff
Michelle Bachman Crazy Overdrive?
Newt Gingrich who worked so hard for the country he had to cheat on his wife. He gets money these days by giving out fake awards that people have to pay for.
Trump?

Mitt is the definitely the leading candidate.

There are a few relatively normal people running . . . but no one knows them. Crazy sells.
