And how do you think your strategy will pan out?

Please, I am more than willing to change my position here. If there is something I am not hearing in this campaign, I'd gladly listen.

My position is that it does Obama no good to mention Rmoney's religion, because the Republicans are already saying that they are being persecuted, and they've been saying it for years and years. So you tell me how to bring up Mormonism without playing into that hand! Especially now that Rmoney's seemingly is forming bonds with the real screwballs at Liberty U. Next he'll be speaking at Bob Jones U. Then, what are ya gonna do?

The whole thing has to be discarded. All religions.

But!!! The extent to which the Repukes bring it up, that's the opportunity which Obama must seize.

Myself, I am a near lifelong atheist. That's well over fifty years. But I have awesome respect for religion, unfortunately and especially in the political sphere. I watched it happen as a Dem activist in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, screaming at the top of my lungs about what was happening.

Unfortunately, the bad guys obtained power more than I ever thought they would. What's to do now?

The last thing is to play into their hand. They have aces. We need Jokers.
