Mitt's a Mormon, get over it.
Mitt Romney found himself defending his faith yet again in a crucial Boca Raton, Fla., debate.
Pundits, at least, still think Mitt's religion will cost him any edge he might have over Sen. John McCain in Tuesday's Florida primary. Debate moderator Brian Williams quoted an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll that shows 44 percent of Americans believe a Mormon president would have a difficult time uniting the country.
Mitt said forcing a presidential candidate to pass a religion test is "about as un-American as anything I can think of." (Unless of course, you don't believe in Jesus, right, Mitt?)

"My faith isn't terribly well known around this country. But I don't think for a minute the American people are going to say, 'You know what, we're not going to vote for this guy for a secular position because of his church."'

Britain's Manchester Guardian, at least, thinks it's about the money Romney is bleeding. Mitt told moderator Tim Russert he would release his latest campaign finance report when it is due at the end of the month, "and probably not a minute earlier."
How about a Cyborg Test?
"Seriously, if it were suddenly revealed that Romney is actually a ''terminator'' from the future sent back in time to kill Sarah Connor so her son would not be born, I wouldn't bat an eyelash.
Romney didn't use the exact words from the movie while campaigning before the Michigan primary, but in effect what he told voters there was, ''Come with me if you want to live.''

Did Brother Mitt really say: "My faith isn't terribly well known around this country. But I don't think for a minute the American people are going to say, 'You know what, we're not going to vote for this guy for a secular position because of his church.'"
Are you freaking kidding me?! He really said this? Did he really mean it? Most people in this great country know of Mitt's religions and know that it's odd, wierd, strange and illogical --like all religions. But what really bothers me is yet another blatant flip-flop that Romney has posed: he now says that people are not going to not vote for him based on his religion, when but a few months ago, with former President GHW Bush at his side, Elder Romney stated that freedom requires religion as much as religion requires freedom.
One could equally attack his syllogism as much as his slipperyness.
