Romney isn't weird...
...he's as ordinary as a multi-millionaire Reaganite Mormon corporate raider can get.
well now, all of a sudden a persons religion is relevant..?
What is Harry Reids religion?
And while we are at it, what is Obama's religion?
I think you are approaching it the wrong way.
Religion was relevent when people demanded Obama disavow the views of Reverand Wright. (which he did, but people still bring them up.)
Religion was relevent when people denounced Rick Perry for not beleiving in Evolution.
Religion was relevent when people crucified Rick Santorum over his views on homosexuality and abortion.
I guess I have to ask, why is Mitt Romney given a pass on his beliefs, which are far crazier than anything those guys believe in?
The answer is quite simple. Romney never brings his religion up. In fact, he does the opposite and maintains that one's religious beliefs are so personal they don't belong in the public square.
So after having been CEO of many companies and the elected governor of a state when has Mitt Romney ever brought up his religion?
