no, we really haven't come that far. mitt romney is discounted by many because of his religion. many won't vote for him solely because he is a mormon. i mean, don't you know what they believe?? why, it's a cult! we don't want that church running things. you know, just like what was said when kennedy ran-nobody wanted the pope in charge. altho nothing untoward happened because a papist was in charge, we still have those who just know...KNOW.. that something bad will happen.
there are those who are
convinced that obama is a muslim. because, goodness knows, we're a god fearing christian nation.
we can't be having non-christians like a mormon or a muslim in charge. that's why we're suffering now, we've turned our backs on gawwwd.
and i prefer the george carlin 'i'm a recovering catholic' line to 'lapsed'.
