Huckabee questions tenet of Romney’s Mormon faith
All this time I though Mitt Romney and Mike Huackabee were running for president of the United States; how mistake I’ve been all this time, the two are clearly running for pope. Seriosuly, who gives a flying fuck how much they believe in zombie jesus? How will this in ANY WAY make them a better president? These two are bickering over mythology instead of actual issues that have even the slightest bit of consequence in the world today. The US economy is slumping, housing market is bust, the country is swimming in debt, two ongoing wars and the prospects for another one on the horizon and they’re taking shots at each other over faith. BRA-FUCKING-VO.
Huckabee questions tenet of Romney’s Mormon faith
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said he considers his rival Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith a religion, not a cult, but questioned whether Mormons believe “Jesus and the devil are brothers.”
Huckabee raised the question on his own in an interview to appear in The New York Times magazine on Sunday, and ignited a new flap in the up-for-grabs race to be the Republican Party’s nominee in the November 2008 presidential election.
Huckabee was asked if he considered Mormonism a cult or a religion. “I think it’s a religion,” he said in the interview, published on the newspaper’s Web site on Wednesday. “I really don’t know much about it.”
Then he asked: “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?”
Romney, who has tried to dispel conservative Christians’ worries about the Mormon faith, responded on NBC’s “Today” show on Wednesday.
“I think attacking someone’s religion is really going too far. It’s just not the American way. and I think people will reject that,” the former Massachusetts governor said.

Romney says it is “going to far. It’s not the American way.” yet he has no problem doing that to atheists.

Back on 16 June 2007, I sent the following to the central Mitt HQ site:
Send this on to Mitt before you zap it. He needs to think outside the holy box if he is to make his appeal consistent with the freedom of conscience guaranteed by the First Amendment.
Still remaining outside the sheepfold: agnostics, atheists, secular humanists, Buddhists, Chinese ancestor worshipers, Shintoists, traditional Hindus, Wiccans, assorted polytheists, devil worshipers . . . those few too principled to be hypocrites . . . and legions of the wholly indifferent.
Homegrown Judeo-Xian-Mormon Taliban frighten me much more than Osama and all radical Islamic mullahs combined.
Pick up a copy of Margaret Atwood’s novel ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ to preview a future under the sway of corporate elites and all JXM “family values†mullahs.
