While Mitt Romney is running for president, there is a Mormon in Congress whose job is far more influential than a former governor. Who could it be? Its Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.<\/a> But, while Romney is expected to give a dissertation on the differences between Mormons and everyone else, Reid is spared this incessant questioning.
\nWhy? Because he is an elected Democrat, and no one expects them to actually hold to the tenets of their religion(s). For proof of the preceding statement see; Clinton, Bill, Kennedy, Ted, and Kerry, John. Ted and John claim to be Catholic and yet run afoul of many of the tenets of the Catholic Church (Multiple divorces anyone? Support for abortion, etc) <\/p>\n

This is another time around on the old double standard, Democrats can claim affiliation with any religious group and give campaign speeches from pulpits, but, the instant Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, runs for office we see articles like this from the Politico<\/a> about how the IRS is investigating Huckabee’s campaign. Isn’t holding one side to a different standard of belief, or faith, or at the very least faithfulness, than the other on religion bias? Aren’t we exhorted to accept every religion? Or, are we supposed to accept their religions only if they don’t follow the tenets of their religion? That really doesn’t make sense… <\/p>\n

Mike Huckabee won’t be our next president for a variety of reasons, but, that he is a Southern Baptist is the one that will be attacked with the most vigor. Wait and watch as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have what will amount to almost a competition to see which of them can speak from behind more pulpits between now and the Democratic Convention. My money is on Hillary by close to two to one, most of them will be black churches too…<\/p>\n

Why the truly religious get bashed for their views and the purportedly religious get a pass isn’t too hard to figure out, if you think about it.<\/p>\n
