:listening to Romney's speech on Countdown:

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?

FUCK YOU, ROMNEY. ATHEISTS ARE PEOPLE TOO.

"Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone."

HOW.... HOW....

How can he even say that?!

I wanna cry. I can't believe someone who openly bigoted against people like me could be a frontrunner for the damn Presidency.

Jesus Herbert Walker Christ.

ETA: Okay, one? If Romeny comes anywhere near Missouri, I'm going to go to one of his rallies with a big fucking sign that says "Atheists are people too".

Two, I have regained my love of Mr. Olbermann. The sly acknowledgement of his SCs being written off as the same ol' thing each time, then basically saying, "your point is?" makes me very happy.

As a resident of the state he's from I feel I should apologize for the actions of Mitt.

You see dear Luce, the all the wannabe presidents act as though they shouldn't be elected or rejected because of their faith (or lack there of) but their all pandering to the religous because there's more of them in the U.S then the less religously inclined.

Things have come so far from the days when the president could say "Yes I'm a catholic but it has nothing to do with why you should elect me" And actually mean it.

Is that really true though? Because I thought I saw polls that indicated that the active church-attending portion of the country is actually a minority.

But they go to the elections more than the average non-church-going folk do.
