In reply to the discussion: Nothing should be left unturned....they hounded President Obama on his church, his wife, his race, [View all]longship
(40,416 posts)I generally do not like religious arguments in politics, especially when it's personal, like Willard -- or need I say JFK.
However, when the candidate himself campaigns with explicit religious rhetoric, that opens the door -- make no mistake with the Repukes it will always be a tactic.
But we can't overtly walk through that door. They are already campaigning on a plank that they are suffering religious discrimation. To criticize them on religious beliefs basically falls for their Rope-A-Dope. Fortunately, Obama is no dope. He will not walk through that door. Not should he.
Nor should we. If we do that, it gives them precisely what they want. It validates the meme that they have already seeded into the country's brains with their ever present echo chamber.
There are dynamics happening here that go beyond the stand your ground rhetoric in this thread. Think before you advocate any such strategy as is advocated here.
Cromwell may have said it best:
Thanks.
