The truth is, Mormonism is old news. Everyone knows Mitt is a Mormon, and many somewhat weird doctrines were openly discussed in the 2007 campaign (see Huckabee, Mike)."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

My uneasiness for Santorum comes from his religious speak. He speaks as if God is directing him to do certain things politically, which brings to my mind the monarchical rule of French kings. It's as if he thinks God is the one from whom the president gets his direction and power, when in fact the American form of government is quite clear that "The People" are the ones that give the president his power. The president is not elected by God and doesn't rule in accordance with God's principles, he does it in accordance with the people.
I'm fine with a deeply religious person being president, but I like Romney's and Obama's handling of religion by keeping it in the background while other, more important matters for a president, are kept in the forefront."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Woot
I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

God seems to have told a lot of people to run for president. It worked out well for Bauchman, Cain and Perry. Can't wait to see how it works out for Santorum.

Sitting with three of their children, the Santorums said the campaign has been educational for the children, and said they've thrived on the encouragement of the voters they've met along the way."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Santorum shouldn't cry foul over being grilled on religion; he's pandered to the religious right and they are the sole reason he still has an active campaign.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
