[QUOTE="Jones, post: 713481, member: 4805"] Yup, if he wants the nomination (and we know he does) he's gonna have to come up with a credible explanation for his past and present positions on healthcare because his primary opponents will be all over it in the debates. And you are unfortunately correct about the mormon thing, I think it's disgraceful that religion still plays such a role in our political system. Whatever church/temple a candidate chooses to attend (or not attend) should be of no consequence as we're electing a president, not a pastor. People have every right to their own beliefs, but it's a huge turnoff for me when politicians start spouting off about god and how [I]He[/I] plays such an important role in their decision making. Are we actually supposed to believe that? Come on now... I remember after Tony Blair left office he gave an interview in which he was asked why he didn't talk about his faith more while he was Prime Minister and he replied that in the UK, if you went around talking about god all the time, people tended to think you were a bit of a nutter. Would that many of our own politicians could be as circumspect. [/QUOTE]
