Romney's Mormon Faith Proves Divisive

Submitted by Charles Kidd, Jun 2, 2007 16:44

Looking at those professing a desire to be Prisident of this great nation, I wonder WHY anyone being a Morman would be disqualified as President. I for one would rather have a Morman of Romney's stature than a professed amoral atheist. At least Romney has a moral foundation and appears to live by his faith. He also has executive level experience as a successful businesman and governor.Those two qualifications Beats the hell out of the other blow hards that would sell their souls to the PC crowd.
