Um, I think you were responding to me. I specifically object to professed Mormons, Scientologists, Cultists, and extreme fundamentalists of any religion.

In the case of Mormonism, it’s considered “wacky” even by most “legitimate” religions. I can’t imagine the credulity it takes to believe there is ANY validity to the Mormon faith. John Smith, literally, pulled it out of a hat and people who know this still believe.

I am forced to accept that American politicians must give lip-service to Judeao-Christian beliefs in order to participate. I gravitate towards candidates who aren’t “preachy” as the least among evils.

I can’t imagine a professed atheist, or agnostic, winning a national election. While this fact depresses, and disgusts, me I have to play the cards as they’re dealt.

Truer words were never written.

I don’t get it. Mormonism is not the original arcane cult, its just a cartoon version of the earlier arcane cult. And in any event, all religions are pretty arcane when you get down to it and put a “hypothetical god” above people.

So what is the beef about Romney that isnt equally valid for any candidate?

Arguably, by giving the whole business a lot of play (not that it isnt interesting–sort of) you are providing a lot of GOOD press for Romney.

Why is a man named Mitt? Why didn’t he stick with Willard?

It would be difficult for TP to quote a story that came out after their’s. Also, I don’t see how. inaccurately, identifying the original author as a “Democratic fund raiser with a political agenda” serves to mitigate Mitt’s comments. Other than to brain dead, neocon, trolls.

Thanx for providing a link to a story which makes Romney look worse.

Now, now, don’t be confusing R2 with actual facts. R2’s got his talking points memorized and if he has to start thinking about what he’s writi g, he’ll never meet his quota.

The US is best, and that’s that. Right, R2?

The Huckster is a dangerous fanatic and is totally separated from “the reality based community”. No more. No less.

I might enjoy meeting him but, I would feel better if he were bound and/or behind a sturdy fence.

To what do you attribute the better overall health statistics of so many of these nations with this terible socialized medicine when compared to the states for the States with its far superior system?

I really, really like Huckabee. I’d like to have a drink with the man, he seems like a really good, likable person who wants to do right.

That said, Christian Fundy who wants to take back the nation for Jesus?

Scary!

He’ll save that for when Jeb runs for president in 2012 or 2017.

No need to take pointers from Europe or Canada. We can make public healthcare as efficient as, let’s say, the U.S. postal service, the American way.

The Republicans not only know *exactly* what the Democratic candidates are thinking – but what the TERRORISTS are thinking as well!!

Amazing. Just …friggin’ amazing.

“HILLARY DID IT!!!”

I think we’re wasting our time. I have come to the conclusion that Roger is dumb and the other Roger is dumber.

Could you please elaborate on the “everyone gets health services”? I know several people who don’t, simply because they can’t afford to pay for health care out of their own pocket, or they can’t get health insurance due to pre-existing conditions, or they HAVE health insurance and still can’t pay for their health care.

I think you mean “everyone gets health services as long as they can pay for them.” Or perhaps you mean “everyone gets health services in an emergency room as long as it’s a life or death situation — of course, they may to have file bankruptcy once they get the bill.”
