Belief or no, it far right or no, anti-science or no... it still may not be a problem.
Thank you for the far-right anti-science opinion!

Unlike Romney, Obama has acknowledged and acted on all of them. You really didn't expect Obama to solve all the country's biggest problems in 3 and 1/2 years, with Republicans trying to block action at every turn, did you?
Despite the Republicans, Obama has done more to reduce C02 emissions than any president in history, he has invested more in clean energy, including nuclear, than any president in history, he has made the biggest tax cuts for the working class in years, he has proposed cutting military spending (as opposed to his opponent who has pledged to increase military spending, he has proposed increasing revenues (as opposed to his opponent who has pledged to cut revenues even further), through the increase in mileage standards and investment in clean energy he is reducing our dependence on declining fossil fuels, and has gotten new CO2 pollution limits set for industry.
The major flaw with your reasoning, is that THOSE AREN'T THE MAJOR PROBLEMS FACING THE NATION!!!
Yep, that's right. The Mormon addressed Baptists and did a good job of it too.
Excerpt from the speech:
Romney is sounding more and more like the person we want in the White House.
Romney will sound like anything you want at any time you want it.
I think this is both a positive and the problem with him.
Well it is if one refuses to acknowledge it is a problem.

Recognizing it doesn't mean a ****, considering that the outrageously high human population is the cause. Since nobody is going to kill off at least half of the population, and people aren't going to just magically stop breeding, yeah, it's an unsolvable problem.
What do you think we exhale?Breeding doesn't produce CO2....................
What do you think we exhale?
CO2 is hardly the sole cause of the depletion of our atmosphere, and degradation of our environment. I refuse to believe that you're unaware that more people leads to more consumption, which causes heavier depletion of natural resources, which ultimately leads to a very bad place to live.

It's just as ridiculous as the 'omfg CO2' argument, since CO2 is hardly the cause. "Global warming" nuts completely disregard irregular orbit, the Sun, continental drift, the drastic changes to the vegetation and wildlife due to population growth and expansion, not to mention pollution of soil and water, which is also a big killer of plants and animals. You want to talk about greenhouse gasses? Why stop at CO2? Why ignore water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone? And why ignore nations that have absolutely no emissions controls, like those in Asia, where the sky is a green smoggy haze due to industrial growth?Really? This argument?
Nobody has to promote it, it's happening. And quite a bit. The worst of it is nuclear waste, which doesn't turn into puppies and kittens.Catawba said:No one I've heard is promoting other sources of pollution.

I don't think there is much positive about being an unscrupulous panderer to public opinion. Telling people what they want to hear when they want to hear it may make them feel good, but it gives no insight into the candidate. I remember back in the day the "conservatives" really going after Clinton for similar activity. Romney and Clinton...peas in a pod. Actually that could be a positive for him as Clinton is sadly one of the better presidents we've had in recent history.
That's the problem. He SOUNDS like... You know he is only saying the things to win your vote. You know he is full of it, but I guess that doesn't matter.
Romney was the governor of MA, and to my knowledge his religion was never an issue. If that is the case why would you think it would be if he became president. Unless there are issues in MA that I'm not aware of.
An individuals beliefs are going to influence them whether they're in the White House, a corporate CEO, of the leader of a home. It influences my attitude when I wake up, my attitude towards other people, the decisions I make, where I work, how well I perform my job, how I manage my money, etc. I'm not saying Romney being a Mormon will be an issue, but because it's beliefs are NOT Christian beliefs, we need to be cautious if we are wanting an individual to return us to our founding principles and values.
Given the current direction of the country, it would indeed be dangerous to elect someone who believes that the Constitution was divinely inspired. If he acts on that belief, it could turn that direction 180 degrees.
Didn't the US go through this same issue when JFK was running for POTUS? I don't care what Romney "believes". Romney trying to get something religious thru our "do nothing" elected officials, is the last thing I'm worried about today.
Hell, at this point in time, I'd just like to see a budget pased within the next year.
yes, the US went through the same thing when Kennedy ran. The opposition tried to convince us that the Pope would be running the country.
You want to see a budget passed? Sheesh, you have high expectations for our dysfunctional Congress. Next, you'll be wanting a balanced budget, then perhaps an end to illegal immigration and even a successful end to the wars in the ME. Some people are just never satisfied.

I don't believe the Constitution was divinely inspired and to my knowledge neither does Romney. The evidence however is overwhelming when it comes to the fundamental principles of the Constitution being rooted in Christianity. That doesn't mean that God breathed supernatural life into the pages of the Constitution, but what it does mean is that our founders had a very strong influence from the supernatural pages of scripture and thus passed that on to the document when establishing this nation. Sadly, there is a group of individuals who want to deny this blatantly obvious fact and turn us into something our founding father's never intended and knew would lead to destruction.
