It doesn't matter if Mitt Romney is a Mormon or Rudy Giuliani is a Catholic or Hillary Clinton is a Methodist. But it DOES matter if their religious practices make it more difficult to have an ongoing discussion on how to make this country a better place for all its citizens.
The lyrics from this Scott Beach song "Religion and Politics" from of all places, the Dr. Demento show, tell us why religion and politics truly need to be separate.
Religion and politics
Often make some people
Lose all perspective and
Give way to ranting and raving and
Carrying on like emotional children.
They either refuse to discuss it with reason,
Or else they prefer argumentum ad hominum,
Which is a hell of a way to conduct a discussion.A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
