Faith in America is a speech by Mitt Romney where he characterized his religion in his own view. He gives reasons why he will not leave his religion, and tells those who oppose his candidacy for the President of the United States because of his religion how ridiculous they are. Recently, Romney is under fire, again for his religion. While he was the runner-up in the primaries during the 2008 elections, an approximate 18% of Republicans refuse to vote for him solely based on his Mormon views. While he is the front runner (at this point) for the up coming 2012 election, this refusal of certain Republicans to vote for him may damage his chances at victory.

Woot. Shout out to the Muslims.
ReplyDeleteseriously though, Romney didn't lose because of his Mormon Faith. Granted it didn't exactly help him, but he was the forerunner coming into the primaries. He was a highly successful technocrat, businessman a REPUBLICAN who won the governorship of MASSACHUSETTS. You don't get much more impressive than that.
No, Romney lost that primary because he ran a crappy campaign.
We should just vote Jon into office whenever Obama is done.
I'm all of Jon Stewart for President. But props to Romney for sticking to his faith in that speech. I can respect that so much more than Senator McCain (who I used to be a fan of) who started changing his stance on everything he believed when there was a shot at the presidency in front of him.
