I'd settle for one real one. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 04/09/2011 09:44:03 PM
But even then, we're talking about the largest & oldest Christian denomination. Their political marginalization at the highest levels is highly suggestive of something sinister at work. Meanwhile, a small aberrant cult with two prominent candidates should strike people as a bit odd. That being said, I find it sort of risible that Huntsman is automatically compared to Romney solely because of their religion.

Jon Huntsman, the No-Drama Conservative (he speaks like a diplomat but he is no moderate) Roland00 - 03/09/2011 05:11:12 PM 2590 Views
I haven't had a chance to read the entire article yet random thoughts - 03/09/2011 09:00:22 PM 285 Views
Do we need two catholics in the race? *NM* Roland00 - 03/09/2011 11:24:19 PM 157 Views

Santorum is not a real catholic? Furthermore Gingrich converted to Catholicism *NM* Roland00 - 05/09/2011 12:39:38 AM 118 Views
and they both have even less of chance than Huntsman does to win random thoughts - 06/09/2011 02:08:51 AM 274 Views
Real Catholics, especially educated Latin-mass types should understand just-war morality *NM* Cannoli - 14/09/2011 12:47:28 AM 122 Views
Personally I think the left spends way to much time focusing on relgion random thoughts - 06/09/2011 02:04:54 AM 332 Views
Religion is an indication on whether or not a candidate is rational-minded or not. Great Lord of Chaos - 06/09/2011 11:11:43 AM 416 Views
I agree the left does use religious prejudice to disqualify candidates random thoughts - 06/09/2011 02:04:02 PM 265 Views
How is it any different than Islam? Roland00 - 06/09/2011 05:00:30 PM 285 Views
Good point, they're all crazy. Vivien - 07/09/2011 06:30:32 AM 272 Views
I am an athiest, but they are not all crazy Roland00 - 08/09/2011 02:19:38 AM 279 Views
The religions are crazy. The people believing in them are not necessarily crazy. Vivien - 08/09/2011 06:33:46 PM 267 Views
I've yet to meet a rational sane atheist. Joel - 12/09/2011 10:01:59 PM 338 Views
Did you just call yourself irrational and/or insane? *NM* Legolas - 12/09/2011 10:38:24 PM 124 Views
It's late, so you may have to spell it out for me: Did I claim to prove a negative in there? Joel - 13/09/2011 12:09:09 AM 269 Views
That's a good point! Vivien - 14/09/2011 04:34:36 PM 260 Views
At the risk of extended tangent, that's a reasonable premise, but not one that leads to atheism. Joel - 21/09/2011 12:55:57 AM 395 Views
To cite a pop culture figure, Ken Jennings seems pretty rational Isaac - 06/09/2011 10:09:25 PM 372 Views
They can compartmentalize. Vivien - 07/09/2011 06:33:42 AM 307 Views
Everyone does that Isaac - 07/09/2011 06:59:02 AM 273 Views
So, you don't think that religiosity in american politics is increasing? Vivien - 07/09/2011 06:56:12 PM 339 Views
No, absolutely not Isaac - 08/09/2011 03:25:49 AM 257 Views
Why the hostility? Vivien - 08/09/2011 03:36:37 PM 263 Views
That would be my question for you Isaac - 08/09/2011 05:01:42 PM 338 Views
Ay. Vivien - 08/09/2011 06:27:17 PM 288 Views
We seem not to be getting anywhere Isaac - 09/09/2011 12:15:02 PM 247 Views
Honestly, I had the same reaction as Isaac, which is why I responded as I did. Joel - 12/09/2011 10:12:36 PM 387 Views
Much better. Vivien - 14/09/2011 04:49:38 PM 286 Views
Glad you liked it. Joel - 20/09/2011 11:17:35 PM 353 Views
why do you think America is becoming more religious? random thoughts - 07/09/2011 03:07:58 PM 271 Views
I said religiosity is increasing in american politics, and because it is. *NM* Vivien - 07/09/2011 06:57:35 PM 120 Views
spoken like a true believer, who needs facts when you have faith and righteousness *NM* random thoughts - 07/09/2011 09:36:45 PM 123 Views
Just based on my observations. I haven't written a report on it. Vivien - 08/09/2011 03:38:40 PM 263 Views
Gallup has looked into it random thoughts - 08/09/2011 04:44:25 PM 316 Views
Again, that's not what I said. Vivien - 08/09/2011 06:04:13 PM 262 Views
I think the opposite is true random thoughts - 08/09/2011 06:48:41 PM 268 Views
Re: I think the opposite is true Vivien - 08/09/2011 07:11:37 PM 288 Views
Maybe to some extent, but not much. Gher - 07/09/2011 11:22:08 PM 273 Views
There's an odd line halfway the article... Legolas - 03/09/2011 10:39:42 PM 409 Views
Which lines are you referring to? *NM* Cannoli - 04/09/2011 10:03:06 PM 103 Views
This part: Legolas - 04/09/2011 10:25:57 PM 309 Views
really? I didn't read this as a neutral article random thoughts - 06/09/2011 02:07:22 AM 270 Views
If you read it as a positive pro-Huntsman article, that only makes the contrast weirder still. *NM* Legolas - 07/09/2011 10:26:30 PM 120 Views
I think the problem may be your prospective random thoughts - 08/09/2011 05:09:31 AM 265 Views
Seriously? That quote parodies and mocks things that matter to conservatives. Legolas - 08/09/2011 08:39:21 PM 268 Views
no the quote mocks people who call him a RINO random thoughts - 08/09/2011 09:45:52 PM 246 Views
That actually sounds like a joke conservatives would say to each other where no media could hear Cannoli - 14/09/2011 12:52:18 AM 286 Views
Well, I certainly like him better than any other Republican candidate I have heard about. *NM* Darth_Katie - 06/09/2011 10:34:36 PM 122 Views
That actually managed to alarm me a lot more than it reassured me. Joel - 12/09/2011 09:52:31 PM 345 Views
