Fighting to save his faltering presidential campaign, former Massachusetts
governor Mitt Romney said Monday that he will reassure Republican voters
that his religious values are the same as theirs and that he believes faith
has a place in political life and governing.
Rather than hoping that voters will look past his Mormon beliefs, Romney will confront the issue of his faith directly in a speech on Thursday, stressing what he calls a "common heritage" in America that unites people of different religions
around a common set of moral beliefs.
"I'm concerned that faith has disappeared in many respects from the public square," Romney said at a town hall meeting here. "I want to make sure that we maintain our religious heritage in this country -- not of a particular brand of faith, if you will, not a particular sect or denomination, but rather the great moral heritage that we have."
Mitt Romney believes that religion is a huge part of political life and governing. I however don't, but I suppose you need some faith to take on that responsibility of President. I don't agree with Romney on this issue and don't think he is going to win, because there aren't many mormons and people are going to see that as a problem.
