It most definitely should.

"I think it's almost an abuse to use a religious association to advance a political agenda."

Almost, my ass!

Here is a quote from a related linked article. I am debating whether this is called irony or hypocrisy.....

Romney's faith in the spotlight again
By Robert Gehrke
The Salt Lake Tribune

WASHINGTON - At a speech in Boston last month, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney offered a lighthearted take on gay marriage: "As a Mormon, I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman and a woman and a woman."
Latter-day Saints get the joke on the church's polygamous past. But the greater context is about how Americans might still view Mormons, whether they are willing to put one in the White House, and whether Romney might be that man.

I was watching the movie "Bush's Brain" and it said Karl Rove grew up in SLC and went to Olympus Highschool. Anyone know more about that? Does he have mormon roots?
