I read a few articles regarding and have been following the GOP race closely. From the start, attacks have been geared towards some of the Republican candidates because of their faith and practicing religion. Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman are both Mormon or more properly, LDS. Because of this fact, Romney more than Huntsman, have taken a lot of hits because of his proclaimed beliefs. Though this may not be hurting him because of his recent taking of the Iowa and New Hampshire caucuses, I fear the opposing media articles that are flooding the mainstreams currently. 

As I look into the coming months leading to the Presidential election of 2012 and the obvious Obama campaign for re-election, hind sight is 20/20 and I would hope many see the empty promises and failed attempts on the previous played cards by Mr. Obama in 2008. 

IF one of the two Republican candidates become the republican nomination and ran against Obama and people used the fact of religion as the deciding factor on which individual to vote for, I would be disgusted. 

As a citizen of this country we are protected by our Constitution. Stated in the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." There is no arguing a basic right of this country so why should we target someone because of their right to choose and their choice being one we do not agree with? 

I hope ignorance doesn't get the upper hand here and people take the time to realize the issues at hand and educate themselves of factors other then the personal lives of the candidates. In the end religion doesn't make a difference in foreign policies, national debt, and a failing economy.
