Romney Says He Wouldn't Appoint A Muslim To His Cabinet

Boston Globe:

A New York financier calls for a Muslim to be appointed to the next president's Cabinet and relates an interesting reply when he put that issue to Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.

Mansoor Ijaz, who describes himself as an American-born Muslim whose family came from Pakistan, writes in an opinion piece in today's Christian Science Monitor that he attended a private fund-raiser this month for Romney in Las Vegas. Ijaz says he asked Romney whether he would consider a Muslim for a national security post in his Cabinet, since he says radical jihad is the biggest threat facing America.

Mormon theories
You tube won't let kids listen to Mormons so be prepared to log on and verify age.

Amazing - to think in retrospect that Saddam's Ba'th Party was more tolerant and inclusive then Romney's imaginary old boys' club since Christians in his gov't were among his strongest supporters (no I'm not talking about Bush and company). Even more ironic that the US decided it was time for a regime change there - so that tolerance and peace can replace those deviants.

Romney's Cabinet will include only androids from the planet Tralfamadore. Like him.

The first dog's name will be Kazak.

No Mormons in his cabinet??? I thought he was a Mormon.

Well I think he is on to something here and I support him.

Interesting. It is seemingly OK to exclude Muslim because they are nonrepresentative. Now can we also exclude Jews who are just as nonrepresentastive? And Mormons are not representative either. Perhaps we should exclude them as well. Thanks for the suggestion Mr. Romney. I'll remermberr that on election day.

Romney is an idiot. By his logic, there should be no christians or jews in the cabinet either.

Hmmm.... now that I think about it, that seems like a good idea. There shouldn't be any religionists in the cabinet. Hey, even a secular president and vice-president. Wow. That would be great.

No religious influence in government? Nah. That's just an illusion. Separation of church and state is just an illusion.

OK, sorry. Fantasy time over.

In this fucked up theocracy we live in nowadays, that'll never happen.

He just needs a Muslim who eats as much Wonder Bread as he does.

Mitt Romney, the man conservative, Andrew Sullivan dubbed "the candidate that makes plastic look real".

[Vincero]

That anyone with an ounce of brains cant see that these appeals go directly to the base of the party is laughable. When you have the repuglicant candidates falling over themselves to appeal to the racist bigots that are the republican Reich-wing you can only expect the rhetoric to escalate..

Not even Grover Norquist?

"He married a muslim girl and she made him convert" Proving pussy is more powerful than the neocons.

Boy is Mitt really going out on a limb
here or what??

What courage!

So Romney's the Tall Phallus, Rudy's the Short Thick-headed Phallus, Huckabee's the Small Phallus that used to be HUGE and Thompson is the Phallus that's too lazy to get up. How does anybody in America reconcile in their minds voting for these people?
