a CANDIDATE SHOULD HAVE THE SAVVY TO NOT RESPOND TO SUCH A QUESTION REGARDING HIS OPPONENT’S RELIGION. However, the individual voter has a right to know more about the individual candidate’s beliefs, and we may count upon the democrat sycophancy media to educate the public on the vagaries of Mormonism. It will not be pretty ...

These were the comments of a Pastor at the Value Voters Conference.

However, the individual voter has a right to know more about the individual candidate’s beliefs,...

I agree and I do believe it is something a voter should consider.

and we may count upon the democrat sycophancy media to educate the public on the vagaries of Mormonism. It will not be pretty ...

Again, I agree. The vast majority of voters have no idea what Mormon beliefs are and as you say "it will not be pretty".

In this case, a candidate did not respond. A supporter did.

A candidate should ESPECIALLY have the savvy not to bring the subject up HIMSELF.

July 18, 2001, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Monday that Mitt Romney could not win the presidential election in 2012 because he has not done a good job of communicating his religion, Mormonism. “It doesn’t bother me,” Cain said in an interview with the Washington Times. “But I do know it is an issue for a lot of southerners. If you don’t win South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, you can’t win the nomination.” Watch video,

So, be prepared for the liberal media to eventually paint the entire GOP Southern base as religious bigots, when the time is right, thanks to Herman Cain.

Maybe there is a reason why Herman Cain has never won a single election in his life.

Be careful about jumping on the Cain Train without asking enough questions.

I agree, and would note that Rick Perry did NOT respond to the question. This was a Pastor who spoke at the event being asked directly what his RELIGIOUS beliefs are.

Bill Bennett made a BIG deal about this. But if a reporter who wasn’t Catholic asked Bill Bennett if he could go with Bill to his church and take communion, would Bill Bennett say “sure”, or would he would he tell the reporter that he wasn’t allowed to do so?
