There is only ONE religion at this point on my side of the aisle: the CHURCH OF GET RID OF OBAMA. To that end, if you're in any way not helping to actively get rid of Obama, you are with him. Shame on you.
Dear LS, I totally agree with this statement. And thank you from my heart for saying it.
Well said, and the holier-than-thou crowd who have complaints about Romney would just as easily have us exclude Quakers, Unitarians, Free-will Baptists, Pentecostals, Word of Faith, and ultimately any group that doesn’t conform to the specific complaintant’s viewpoints.

Wrong again. None of those groups are pseudo-Christian cults, Mormonism is.
I supported Cain, then Santorum and Newt, no complaints about their faith since they are all Christians. Romney is not.
May I suggest you "can" this self-refuting argument?
Here's why...
First of all, anytime you come with the phrase "holier-than-thou" as an accusation of others, usually means you've assumed some sort of "Mt. Sinai" type of moral posture yourself...(site of 10 commandments issued)
So once you start frowningly looking down upon others as "holier-than-thou," 'tis obvious then you see yourself as holier-than-thou of those you make the accusation...
Then once I point this out, somebody else can come along and say, "Colofornian, you see yourself then as 'holier-than-LS?"
And then yet another could come along to that accuser...the cycle never ends...
The bottom-line here is that a "holier-than-thou" accusation is usually the phrase issued by an out-and-out moral relativist who wants to cite a given moral code as originating in given personalities. They tend to NOT want to cite a given fixed moral code as the actual source or holiness and morality.
As for religious-based "complaints" attached to political candidates, so what?
I don't see you or Betty Boop patrolling all the thousands of "Barry is a closet Muslim" threads & comments that have been made for the last 4 years...Nor do I see you or Betty Boop doing the same for all the Rev. Wright threads & comments as well...
In 2008, did you go around defending Mike Huckabee given that he pastored a church before running? There were swipes toward him on that basis. Did you defend him? No?
Hmm...Seems you're both awfully selective in your defense of world religions and cults and even mainstream GoP candidates like Huckabee. Why?
If it really was a sort of "religious liberty" conviction you were operating out of, you would show your lectured hostility to those commenting upon Obama's religious ties. Even in your list of five groups, I don't see Obama's ties listed there (formerly United Church of Christ, alleged Islamic beginnings, etc.).
So you're AWOL there. Why?
If I had to guess the reason behind that, it'd be the usual reason...out and out religious hypocrisy.
People like to defend Romney's whacky cultic beliefs in this case only because it's politically expedient to do so. Otherwise, it seems as for the rest of those groups on your alleged radar screen, who cares for you?
You probably don't.
But prove me wrong. Show me ONE time where you've gone to bat for these groups on a thread other than in the context of defending Romney.
