Romney is so totally unqualified to hold ANY public office it's beyond me why the elites want this uber-liberal RINO so badly...
Supreme Court Justices who don't believe in our Founding Creed...that our rights come from God and that governments are secured among men to protect them is no big deal for Romney?
It should be for any of his Christian supporters...
Atheists are OK as Supreme Court Judges or Atty. General:Mitt Romney's interview with Tim Russert on 12/16/2007 [excerpts]:
MR. RUSSERT: So freedom doesn't require religion?GOV. ROMNEY: Well, this--the, the context was talking about the, the founding of the nation and the, the sense in this case of John Adams describing the fact that our constitutional form of government and this American experiment required morality, which in turn required religion. And, and yet, of course, on an individual basis, you have many individuals of great morality and--that, that don't have any particular faith.
MR. RUSSERT: So if you determined that the most qualified person for the Supreme Court or for attorney general or secretary of education happened to be an atheist or an agnostic, that wouldn't prevent you from appointing them?GOV. ROMNEY: Of course not. You, you, you look at individuals based upon their skills and their ability, their values, their intelligence. And there are many who are agnostic or atheist or who have very different beliefs about the nature of the divine than I do, and, and you evaluate them based on their skills. But I, I can tell you that I, I myself am a person of faith and, and respect the, the sense of the common bond of humanity that comes from that, that fundamental belief.MR. RUSSERT: But there'd be no litmus test?GOV. ROMNEY: No, no. There's no litmus test of, of that nature....... GOV. ROMNEY: Well, people have differing views about faith, as you understand, and, of course, as I indicated there are, there are competing faiths in this nation. But the, the great thing, of course, is that our values are the same. We have Christians and Jews for instance. They don't have the same faith, but we certainly have the same Judeo-Christian foundation, and it's those common values that allow us to select people regardless of their faith for, for positions of secular leadership.
