ORIGINAL: willbeurdaddy When likely voters are polled I guarantee he will be behind Romney. Romney is going to have a hard time in the primary just as before. The Mrs family is full of far right fundies. Believe me when I say that voting block has an issue with the "Mormon" aspect of Romney. He has to navigate around that section of the party before he can get the nomination. Do you remember his much touted speech about religion?Was supposed to rival JFK`s famous speech concerning his Catholicism?Seemed being a Catholic was a big deal last century. Well,here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIIGkBPdfdE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hp6F5gwpCA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYpSbC93-fg It really doen`t deal with America and religion the way JFKs did,ex.,it`s private,America`s about real freedom,etc.Platitudes aside,it`s more about Mitt and mainstreaming Mormonism. He also panders to the fundies by implying that American liberty would not be possible without god. "Liberty is a gift from god".... Oh really,I don`t think so.We fought for that,no one and no thing "gave" us liberty.I guess Mitt`s saying that atheists,Pagans,secularists and Wiccens are out`a luck in the liberty dept. Mitt is not sure that we fully appreciate the profound implications of our religious liberty. Really,Mitt? He gives us an example of this...the old cathedrals in Europe are big but empty. Then he disses the parishioners,claiming that their congregations are withering. The sincere believers I know don`t think of their faith as a popularity contest.Their faith doesn`t depend on such superficial things. What an ass. The real one,Kennidy`s speech.With a Q&A session that`s pretty interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUl6T2hQIbk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xaAfSyvQ0I
