Romney's Founders
The fable that the U.S. was founded as a Christian Nation is just that -- a fable. It is worth noting that the Declaration of Independence does not invoke Jesus, or Christ, or Our Father.

Mitt Romney is a panderer. He will do and say anything if it helps him get elected, but in truth, none of what he's doing helps him.

Jack Kennedy had an eye for history; Romney has only a tin ear. Kennedy de-emphasized the role of religion in politics; Romney only wants to amplify it.

Bottom line is I can't see that the Mormons are any crazier than the evangelical Christians. Or any more sane for that matter.

Despite the Constitution's clear prohibition of a religious test for office, the race for the White House has turned into a campaign to get Americans to vote in blocs for particular candidates based on their religious beliefs.

Now that Mitt Romney has introduced his religion into the center of the political arena, I think we have every right to evaluate him, in part, on precisely those beliefs.

Here's the thing that Mitt Romney can't say: The Mormon Jesus has about as much in common with Jesus of Nazareth as the Los Angeles Kings have with King Tut. They have the same name, kind of, and that's it.

Mitt's speech on his Mormonism today was meant to echo Kennedy's on Catholicism--was it? In his address--to a groomed audience--Mitt used the term MORMON, how many times? Once.

Regarding the Mormon church, Romney made the same kind of assertions that were at the heart of JFK's speech about his Catholicism.

While the media focuses on Romney and the influence of Mormonism on his potential presidency, it's much more important to shed light on his shadowy, pro-torture advisor.

Those who wonder about Romney's -- or anybody else's -- religion and how it will affect their performance as president don't need lectures on freedom of worship in America.

In the wake of Romney's highly-anticipated and widely-covered speech, the campaigns of several other White House hopefuls immediately demanded equal time from the networks.

This morning, Mitt Romney gave a brief speech on faith in America. I attempted to liveblog it. A heaping bowl of mixed success is thus served.

As Huckabee surges, Romney finds himself in a bit of a box, partly of his own making.

Politicians today face a religious politics far beyond anything Kennedy knew.
