Mitt: It's OK to be an atheist
In a speech in Manhattan, Mitt Romney revisted his December address on faith in America and cleared up an oversight: atheists. Mitt says of nonbelievers in America: "We are all in this together."Noting that he had been criticized for leaving nonbelievers out of his faith speech, Romney said:
I had missed an opportunity . . . an opportunity to clearly assert that non-believers have just as great a stake as believers in defending religious liberty. If a society takes it upon itself to prescribe and proscribe certain streams of belief — to prohibit certain less-favored strains of conscience — it may be the non-believer who is among the first to be condemned. A coercive monopoly of belief threatens everyone, whether we are talking about those who search the philosophies of men or follow the words of God.

Mitt Romney would have made a helluva President. Like him or not, he has the intelligence, experience and energy to help this country. I'm going to be looking for the "none of the above" options on my 2008 November ticket.
Jesus forgives Mitt for belonging to "The Church" and how he has lived his life..........
Mitt asks " Help me here, what comes after one ? "
Mitt probably would have been a fine President, as will any of the three leading candidates now. Mitt, however, is solely to blame for his failed candidacy. His shameless pandering to the hard right, divisive speeches, ridiculous positions on stem cell research and Iraq, unwavering support for the Moron (not Mormon) who is now our leader, and so forth, doomed his candidacy. He could have been the centrist candidate of the GOP which would have won, but he was too smart for his own good.
