Apples and oranges. Zags was making the same type of lame comparison you are. The birth certificate relates to Obama's ability to even put his name on the ballot. Yours and Zags biased views on Mormonism only effect your perceived belief of Romney's capabilities as President. Pretty easy to see the lack of parallel. Sorry, I forgot we were in the "look at me! look at me!" generation. Nothing can be sacred or private anymore otherwise it's secret and/or cultish. Just because I don't share all of my life with the media I lack pride or courage? That's why I (as well as Romney and presently over 55,000 others) paid to serve a 2 year mission to share my beliefs; because I was lacking pride or courage to openly advertise my religion... Makes sense... I guess if you're looking for outward displays of LDS faith, you can look for CTR rings. CTR stands for Choose the Right. Those are kinda like the Mormon equivalent of the WWJD wrist band things. Or you could look for these on key chains. That's a pretty much dead give away the guy is active in the church. I know you're not a fan of any religion, so the following may not mean much to you, and you threw out the devil wink, so you're probably being a little tongue-in-cheek, but I'll thrown this out there anyway. I don't know the reasoning behind the LDS church's stance on blacks and the Priesthood prior to '78 and can't relate from my own experience since I wasn't alive when that standard was in effect, but I always find it interesting that Mormons get special treatment on this issue considering many other faiths did similar or worse; including virtually every protestant church (and especially evangelicals) I can think of that wasn't a "black" church. Gotta love double standards!
There's nothing more unusual or bizarre in mormonism as compared to generic christians, but he doesn't seem to be talking about it very much. Because he knows the republican base is now evangelicals that fear mormons.
Julian Castro is tearing it up. San Antonio is investing in education and jobs while Portland is investing in bike paths and bioswales.
Interesting juxtaposition. The RNC seemed to be trying to appeal to the head, while the DNC seems to be trying to appeal to the heart.
LOL. Here's one of my favorite local commercials. Just substitute "Republican" for "car dealer" [video=youtube;VLhNhF1jJcQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLhNhF1jJcQ[/video]

my take is that the democrats are much better at reading off the teleprompters and Michelle Obama is one fantastic lady and made a great speech.
well to be fair, reading is pretty elementary, maybe the gop should take a night class and get a better grasp on this whole reading thing
They all can read. Most of the republicans, including Ann Romney, really looked like they were reading off the teleprompter moreso than the democrats.
