WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney tried to capture the essence of what his religion meant to him in a little-noticed 1995 commencement address at his prep school. His Mormon faith, Romney said, is “one of the most important treasures of my life.”
It is a treasure that Romney, as a political candidate, has kept mostly in a private place — until recently. Now there are signs his protectiveness is easing. On Sunday, in what was described as a first for his candidacy, he allowed a handful of reporters to witness his attendance at a Mormon church near his summer home in Wolfeboro, N.H.

In my opinion, a nominee's faith or lack of it should never be an issue, but character should. And both presidential candidates are showing a lack of it in the way they are handling their campaigns.
Mittens hasn't quit lying since he started campaigning. And appointing Lyin' Ryan as his Veep candidate is brilliant...Liars 'R Us takes to the campaign trail spreading lies and bullsh!t to the four corners of the Nation. Romney is the creepiest Prez candidate to ever run a campaign. Wonder if Angel Moroni will award him a planet if he loses...retroactively, of course.
"The risk for Romney in opening up more about his faith is that it could turn some voters against him" says the Globe. In that case, it must also turn voters away from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a practicing Mormon. Perhaps it was Harry's Mormon faith that caused him to accuse Mitt of paying no income taxes. ---The Globe needs to INVESTIGATE right away the relationshop between Harry's Mormon faith and his speeches on the Senate floor. --If the Globe fails to investigate Harry, then the Globe once again proves that its columnists are NOT real journalists. They are just church PREACHERS.
