Check out this line from Mitt Romney's interview yesterday with ABC News' Charlie Gibson:
"We never selected our president based on which church he went to. That would be a very sad day if we were ever to do so."
The line seems harmless enough--another attempt by Romney to elevate the national debate over his Mormonism to a question of whether a candidate ought to be discriminated against because of his religion. But God-o-Meter wonders if there's something more at work here. Can't Romney's quote be read as an argument against the surging Mike Huckabee? Rather than saying his own religion shouldn't be a bar to the presidency, Romney is saying that voters shouldn't support a candidate because of his religion. Who else could Romney be referring to?

I like Mitt Romney as well as Ron Paul & Huckabee.
I think Romney is about perfect for what we need in this country right now.
With China now in possession of the Panama canal. China having bought the Company that wrote our weapons defense code's. China having had threatened the USA to get our Bases out of the Orient, we complied but for only one Base left, were trying to hang onto to that.
China threatened us again and our fear of their 2 - 3 trillion dollars in our economy, they could drop causing us to go into complete depression worst than the 1930s.
China and Russia new alliance treaties with each other - and their allegiance to Sudan who is causing holocaust genocide in Darfur, Africa preventing USA in saving lives & help.
Also their ties to Iran & North Korea involving their nuclear ability.
Our now loses in our solvency, freedom and illegal alien criminals problems.
Joseph Smith founder of Latter-Day Saints (1830) was killed by a mob opposed to his heretic unorthodox religious teachings. Mormonism. Their faith appears far greater in Joseph Smith than in the Christ of forgiveness of sins.
Is what Apostle Paul warned the Christians about in Galatians (1:8-9).
If I were the Satan bring forth the Beast of Revelation, Now would be a good time for his arrival.
To come into power with such a man as with the history of Mitt Romney. I would feel better even if he were a atheist.
Maybe a new policy for a change, like Ron Paul wants to give USA.
As President Bush member of the Skull & Bones secretive society has recently mentioned World War III.
And all that has been and is happening gives me concern.
We have come down to the necessity of consumers buying power - With cash. To keep our economy afloat.
The question I have to ask myself about Huckabee. Is he two face. Does he talk like he has a fork tongue,
Like Indians used to describe us White men. We have to look at his past. And that concerns me too.
Since religion is politics' since at least canon. I thought it being OK to mention it here.
Clearly you don't understand the LDS church. We're called "The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints", and we worship Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Redeemer of the World, the Messiah, the Savior, and our Lord. It is ONLY through Christ that we can be saved and our sins forgiven. Joseph was a Prophet, a spokesman for God, and a wonderful man. Ask any active LDS member, they can tell you that simple truth.
