Hey, you got religion in my politics! No! You got politics in my religion!

BLAGHHH!!!!

Quite frankly, I still think the idea of separation between church and state is a good one. I am a Mormon. Despite what some may try to tell you, Mormons are also Christians. Reconciling both with politics can be a challenge. Some vote strictly along party lines. Others along conservative, liberal, or religious lines. Hot topics like abortion and now gay marriage helps to sway people, often using the 'guilt factor'. I've always had a healthy disdain for manipulation and oversimplification.

I hate that we Christians have to feel compelled to vote for inferior candidates simply because of their stand on these two things. There are other issues! It's my opinion that being 'anti-public-health-care' is tantamount to being pro-abortion. Likewise, supporting senseless warfare. Hello! People are dying! And do we honestly think the country will be well served by putting a man of lesser integrity, intelligence, leadership skills, eloquence, compassion, wisdom, and strength in the oval office solely for the purpose of preventing gays from being able to marry?

I'm sorry Brother Romney, I really wanted to like you. I tried, but in the end I think Obama is the best man for the job.
