Personally, I don't want any preacher or priest in charge of this country or our military. i believe it is up the individual. just because they are a preacher or priest doesn't mean they wouldn't drop a bomb on you in a minute... maybe call it divine guidance.

I don't think the talk about Romney's religion is perplexing at all. An anti-religion bias is usually in the Dem talking points, with unflattering characterizations being made all the time. The left only seems to be tolerant of religion when its candidates are in black churches promising welfare and intoning like Southern Baptist preachers or when they are insisting that Islam is a religion of peace.
