But Doug, could you imagine voting for someone who believes the earth is only 6,000 years old (Huckabee)? How about someone who believes that during the Eucharist the bread and wine actually turn into the body and blood of Christ even though they look exactly the same as before (Guliani)? Or how about someone who worships a carpenter who lived 2,000 years ago (all the candidates).

Religion is all faith based anyway. Its silly to criticize someone because their unverifiable spiritual beliefs are different from your unverifiable spiritual beliefs. In fact, its more than silly, its bigoted.

I find Mittens "offensive and juvenile" … what's his point? That he's a flip-flopper who says just want he thinks a particular group wants to hear even though five minutes prior he said the complete opposite and claims he hasn't a clue as to what HIS EMPLOYEES are doing on his behalf? Why, I believe Mittens eyes are turning a VERY dark shade of BROWN …

So CNN - religious ridicule and discrimination is OK with you? You leave up a anti-Mormon slur and take down a rebuttal to it?

I cannot in my right mind imagine voting for a Man (Romney), whose religion he professes, belives that he will someday be a God of another planet in the universe.

This is very disturbing to know that still very few people would use comments like this one:

"I wonder if Mitt is going to wear his magic pajamas tonight when he gets in bed with his wives.

PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF! Gov. Romney is one of the most respected individuals when it comes to family values and his strong convictions regarding this issue.

That was very brave of you Jason. Making a juvenile comment like that in a public place. Most people would have been embarrassed. But not you.

In other news. I'm not a Romney supporter but you have to admit he handles these "scandals" well. In one day he's pretty much neutralized any criticism and has made Thompson look like he's playing political games.

Jason, Mitt Romney's pajamas may be many things, but they certainly aren't magical. He's also the only top-tier Republican candidate who's only had one wife. Go figure.

Merced, seriously what an Idiotic statement. But then I'm sure you knew that. Fyi, we are in an age where religious intolerance is as deplorable as racism.

The funny thing is that Romney is the candidate who has only had one wife…

What else do you expect from Democrats? They're pathetic…

Who cares Or give a (beep)? It Wanabees fighting for the spotlight to get smashed on election day. Wake up out of your dreams and smell the roses. The democrats have it won already you just dont know it yet. The best thing to do is to remove repulicans wanabees presidents from the ballat and put the tier one democrats on the ballot for presidents on election day. Amercia just deciding which democrat it want for president.

Who is Mitt Romney? A business man. He can run a business but contrary to some running a business is not the same as running a government. In a business there is one objective - make profitable and successful business. In government, it is to represent ALL the interests of the people - not the singularly minded my objective is the only way. We've had 7 years of that and look at the mess that got us into (US & Texas mess).

Jason of Merced,

Politics is no place to hold up someone's religion to ridicule or derision. Everyone holds their faith dear to them, and every faith has doctrines that others will find ridiculous when held up to the secular light.

Your comment is more telling about you than Romney.

That crazy Mitt! If he has to run against Obama will he accuse him of serving Satan since he's black? He loves the gays, he hates the gays. He's more liberal than Ted Kennedy and less sane than Ted Kazinsky, but further to the right than Reagan. Mitt is it!

I wonder if Mitt is going to wear his magic pajamas tonight when he gets in bed with his wives.

This was a dicey situation, and Romney hit the nail on the head. He came out swinging against the website- as he should have- but waited until 9/11 had passed so as not to upstage the events of the day. Well done.

[...] Mitt Romney continues his half-baked attempt at a political cover-up by declaring the now defunct anti-Thompson website to be "juvenile and offensive." Bastard. Sep [...]

What a bunch of monkeys this group of Republicans running for white house are. Not only that I belive in evolution, but NOW I believe in de-evolution. How else can you explain these apes.

Let the Repugs pick Romney. The Democrats will have a field day with this no good flip-flopper

Romney didn't have to say anything.

We already knew it was Jeri Thompson firing it up with her caustic, over-reaching, "I'm offended and a victim" dramatics. And there is nothing in Romney's comments that fit the description "blasts" that CNN uses in its headlines.

The most hilarious part is when the obviously hypocritical Thompson takes Romney to task and says there is no place for candidates that smear and THEN proceeds to SMEAR Romney in the most offensive way. You know "say anything" BLah blah blah.

The quality of the GOP primaries went down several notches once Jeri arrived on the scene.

Whew, we were worried. As the editors of a political satire site called The Daily Clusterdouche, we were certain this article was about us.

To the juvenilatron!

it IS juvenile and offensive. and THESE guys are representing us citizens?!

Romney will have Mel Sembler as his main backer for his campaign.

The same Mel Sembler who operated the child abusing Straight, Inc. organization all over the country.

What does that tell you about Romney's "values"?

As with Craig Romany sure has away of using words to kill speculation of his culpability on hot button issues of this type. It is truly effective however and the Thompson campaign response that it was "half-baked" is not taking the matter objectively and positive - Romney slammed critics with his response and there was nothing half baked about it.
