I'm about to talk about the two things you aren't supposed to talk about.. and I'm going to do it in the same column.. Religion and politics.
I don't understand the hypocrisy of it. One candidate is automatically disqualified because of where he spends his Sunday mornings.
It doesn't matter that the church in question teaches fiscal responsibility and personal accountability.
A church that developed a welfare program that fosters self improvement, a program that is designed to ween people off it. This program doesn't breed generations of dependents.
On the other hand, if a person pays homage to the same deity as those guys who flew planes into the Twin Towers, that is off limits.
I guess what it comes down to, does it really matter what church a person belongs to? Politically speaking? I don't think so.
One last question to consider.. Why is religion such a big deal for a former governor from the land of the Kennedys, but no one cares or even knows that a senator from the Silver State goes to the same church??
