If religion is...
...(a) off-limits or uncouth in some way;
...or (b) should be hermetically sealed from what constitutes "character"...
...then go ahead..."religion doesn't matterites" & the self-appointed "bigot patrol" are hereby invited...
...to come onboard this thread & go on the indirect defense of Obama on this thread by...
...attacking Santorum...
...plus lecturing posters to lay off bringing up "Christian values" and whether Obama has them or not.
Go on.
Be consistent (for some of you -- for a change).
Show that you're not a hypocrite after all.
Let's see those single-minded convictions about keeping beliefs & religion out of this race come out re: your even application of them across the board.
What? Few takers? What? You're going to prove yourself to be hypocrites, after all?
That Santorum is unelectable in a General Election?

The whole problem with this is that... well... I... am...not... Catholic. Catholics make up 21 percent of the total population, and about half of them aren’t really even active Catholics.
I actually believe that a vast majority of Catholicism isn’t based on the Bible either, so how exactly is a religious/social campaign going to appeal to me in any kind of way? And it doesn’t even work on a political level either of making common cause with Catholics, since the Catholic has generally been in the bed with the left anyway. It’s probably the reason why Saint Rick has a pro-union/government social welfare bent to him. The Catholic church does too, and he’s a “devout Catholic.”
Newt’s also a Catholic, but he’s running on actual ideas.
He wins, therefore.
Whence cometh this notion that economic has nothing to do with religion? Max Weber famously asserted that capitalism is based on the Protestant ethic, of work as an obligation on all.
Try decaf.
GO NEWT GO—it’s about the survival of our country, not Sunday school.
