Romney Seeks To Dispel Doubts About His Mormonism
in response to reader comment: Birth control not the problem!

Please remember that family size is not the point here. The point of the article was, and comments should be, whether or not we can stand behind the notion that a person's religion should be a factor in his electability. While I don't agree with the content Governor Romney's speech, I must say that the fact that his religion is up for debate at all is most disturbing. It tells me that we are far from realizing that which was allowed for in our Constitution. Especially since we've been down this road already with President Kennedy. Have we such a short attention span? Pay we no attention to our own history? Judge the man for his platform, for his conviction, for his vision, on his merit. If you find him wanting, so be it. But let it not be on the basis of whether or how he chooses to worship God!
