I am a registered independent and I am Jewish. As a Jew I am horrified by recent events in the Republican Party. That party has displayed its intolerance in selecting a candidate for president. Even worse Americans have revealed their intolerance.
Have you heard about the latest NBC-Wall Street Journal poll? It was focused on Mitt Romney and his Mormon religion.
- Reservations about voting for a Mormon 33% of all Republicans TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT 45% of evangelical Christians
- Not ready to elect a Mormon president 50% of all voters
- Not ready to elect a Black president 27% of all voters
- Not ready to elect a woman president 24% of all voters
There is no religious qualification to be president. Mitt Romney, a Mormon, has given a speech pointing out that he meets all the qualifications to be president. That speech was promoted by Mike Huckabee who has promoted himself as the Christian candidate.
This is no way to conduct a campaign for president. Could this campaign path cause many Americans to not vote in the next presidential campaign? Perhaps this will be one more reason not to vote a Republican to the presidency.
