The left intends a religious test to hold office and a vow to reject all religious belief.
Most conservatives would never vote for a Muslim or an atheist. That's a religious test.
Could be. More, my priorities are me.My own.Whose butt are you up?
Are admitting a problem (your head is up your ass)?
....
There should be one for both sides and their addiction to party..... (Is there a 12-step program for Conservatives?)

The difference is, individuals are so far permitted to decide for themselves to apply a religious test or not. Democrats would replace that individual decision with the collective, imposed, and democrat decision.
Reporting from Belmont, Mass. — In a closely-knit Mormon congregation, Ronnie Catalano was a problem Mitt Romney wanted to solve.
As bishop — a position akin to priest or pastor — Romney presided over a fast-growing flock that included Catalano's wife, Sandy, a new convert. Ronnie, a cigarette smoking, wine-drinking Catholic, had accused Sandy of ruining their family by becoming Mormon. He tried to prevent her from attending church and from donating their money in the Mormon tradition of tithing.
Sandy was thinking of leaving her husband and moving to Utah with their two children, an anathema in a faith in which families come first and church leaders are encouraged to bring non-Mormon spouses of church members into the fold.
What followed, the Catalanos say, was an extended campaign of kindness and faith that went far beyond what Romney was obligated to do as bishop. Romney took the Catalanos under his wing. He called Ronnie to invite him to church events, gave him tasks such as manning a grill or setting up tables to make him feel included, invented jobs around the church when Ronnie was out of work. He referred Ronnie to passages in the Book of Mormon that spoke to the importance of families, and told the Catalanos that he was praying for them, and even losing sleep over them.
In 1991, after 11 years of persuasion, Ronnie Catalano converted to Mormonism. The 67-year-old Budweiser driver is now deeply involved in the church and has given up smoking and drinking, which he says saved his life because his father and brother both died of lung cancer.
"Mitt was the one who really stood out. He was always caring about my family, my wife, my children," Catalano said in a recent interview. "He taught me how to keep my family together."
"He saved us. He rescued us," added his wife.
OMFG..How awful!
You what stands out to me in that story? That the wife was a convert.
How is it possible for someone to take a look at Mormonism, read up on its invention, its various painfully implausible preposterous claims and premises and concoctions,
and say, hey, that makes a lot of sense,
I think I'll devote my life to believing that stuff!!
Seriously...
Yep. Seems that he's a cleric. It's nothing all that new..that a cleric runs for public office. Heck, places like Iran are governed by clerics. And clerics have ran in past elections like Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and Pat Robertson.

The Republican presidential candidate doesn't talk much about his role in the Mormon Church, but he served as a bishop in a Boston-area church and presided over 12 congregations as stake president.

Personally? I wouldn't vote for a cleric..no matter what the party.
But that's just me..I hate theocracy.

Just because someone serves in whatever role in their church does not mean they are going to govern based on religion. I'm an ordained minister myself. If I ever ran for, and were elected to, public office, I would adamantly maintain a religiously neutral attitude in the execution of my job duties.

If I found out you were a cleric of any type..I would never vote for you.
Just one of my little prejudices..I guess. I don't mind someone worshipping a certain way...but clerics have to big a connection to religion.

If it meant getting obama out of office, Americans would vote for the Pope.

Not bloodly likely.

And Obama claimed that Wright was his mentor and it meant nothing, Romney is a politician, not anything else. He is like Obama, say anything to get elected.
You have a problem with Reverend Wright?

I would vote for whoever is best suited to run our nation, regardless of race, color or creed.
I suspect that makes me wiser and more logical than you.

No issue with him, but he was the mentor of our current President. our current President said he listened to Wright every night, and went to his church every Sunday, cajoled with Wright outside the church, sounds like he was trained in the religious teachings of Wright, sort of like a cleric, but then again maybe Obama wasn't smart enough to become a cleric.
I thought the left swears up and down that Soros is not a Nazi.If it meant getting obama out of office, Americans would vote for the Pope.

Repeating lies does not make them true, Swallow. No matter how much you want it to, it doesn't.

Soros was thirteen years old in March 1944 when Nazi Germany occupied Hungary.[14] Soros took a job with the Jewish Council,[10] which had been established during the Nazi occupation of Hungary, to carry out Nazi and Hungarian government anti-Jewish measures.
