It's just not his style.

I guess the forum timer doesn't use Olympic style timing, down to the .00001 seconds to determine who was first.

freaky deaky

In fact, he's already done it!
There is nothing HE won't do!

It is necessary to encompass the destruction of the Republican ticket, from top to bottom, and any tool apt to the purpose ought to be employed.

he doesn't think Obama's going to do that.

He and his people won't need to anyway. Your own KKKristians will do it for them.

thrown at the President, claiming he's a Muslim or the wrong kind of Christian? Wasn't it the GOP who made religion an issue?

what would it matter if anyone raises this issue -- even Mittens himself?

Or is there wackiness behind and before that pulpit? Or do you fear your supporters' consideration of this reality?

even though he isn't even a Muslim (and wouldn't/shouldn't matter even if he is). Hell, they've thrown everything AND the kitchen sink at him. That being said, Obama is too classy to go there and I'd be very disappointed in him if he did. I don't know why, however, him or the Dems would be wanting to go there. In fact, the only people whom seem to attack other people's religions (or lack thereof) seem to be...........Republicans!

Not gonna happen. But thanks for playing, Orrin.

That would be just so dastardly and underhanded, like holding a candidate responsible for something his pastor once said during a sermon. Something uprooted from its context*, shorn of everything except the desired sound bite, and used as a cudgel over and over again against that candidate.

How very distressing, Mr. Hatch. Shall I fetch your fainting couch?

*By the way, the context of Jeremiah Wright's "God damn America!" sermon was in the context of the United States' shameful history of enslaving certain people, preached to the present day descendants and those who look like them who continue to feel the effects of that enslavement to the present. Time constraints, naturally, keep the popular media from explaining this, because it's just tooooo complicated to get at all the nuance and subtlety of why a black preacher, talking to a black congregation, might think the history of slavery in this country was damnable.

wing that the President is a secret muslim (so what if he was) isn't a smear ?

Just more pathetic projection from the lemmings on the right.

I think the Obama campaign will completely leave that alone. The ConservaWacko Party will handle that just fine. They already hate Romney, and will talk up his Mormonism to demonstrate that.

I think there needs to be a through airing of Mormon theology, people cringe at Scientology - but Mormonism is 10x weirder and more contrived than that. But I think most people chalk it up as just another weird protestant sect.

The Mormon Church is one of the most psychotic and scary religious groups around - we saw the extent of the damage they can do here in California with the money they poured into passing Prop 8. I'm glad these bigots are going to be put on the spotlight - let the world see what they really are and what they stand for. America's religious institutions want to take us back to the dark ages with this birth control bullshit nonsense - and if they're put in that spotlight because of Romney - good, fuck 'em.

Because they don't care either.

So, Romney has lost 14 votes right there!

church that The President will exploit

I'm surprised they haven't tried calling President Obama a Mormon

all of a sudden religion is off the table? Fuck that.

not do it. They are scared they are going to lose and big.

Rmoney is the real-life Gordon Gekko, only with less style.

A swing state. Riling up the base?

his church at President Obama.

Isn't he Mormon himself?

that's the least offensive thing about him

Obama hardly needs to use that arsenal against Mitt. There is plenty that makes Mitt utterly unqualified to be POTUS. Like someone said up thread, prejudice against Mitt's Mormonism will be their excuse when he loses.

So why would he bother?

NOT the Dems. The sheer hypocrisy of bellyaching about an offense that has not even happened yet, while being an anchor of a party that has spent half a decade now publicly and loudly trashing the President's religious life is wilting. Fully expected, of course, but still wilting.
