In the dialogue surrounding Mitt Romney’s candidacy, there’s a hole. There are plenty of people saying things about Romney’s faith that it disqualifies him, that it doesn’t, or that it shouldn’t come up at all. But in the middle of the noise, there’s a vacuum of information about that faith. Most of Romney’s defenders want to avoid the topic because to offer details about the Mormon religion in this context would legitimize the faith-based attacks.
Mitt Romney gets a lot of political coverage. It's because of his religious background...and alot of people are taking on assumptions about Mormonism. The politico published an article about a new blog, that targets Mitt Romney's faith and helps resolve any misunderstandings about the Mormon Church. A Utah lawyer named Ryan Bell created this blog, called romneyexperience.com
The Salt Lake City-based church, while eager to field general inquires about it, has made clear that it intends to steer clear of Romney’s candidacy; the church is avowedly neutral when it comes to partisan politics. At the same time, Romney and his campaign steer any discussion of Mormon doctrine and tradition on to a higher plane of religious tolerance and the shared ecumenical traditions that bond all people of faith. So, with the democratizing power of the Internet, Bell is offering to answer the questions that the church and Romney aren’t.
This has to be one of the best ideas ever. Romney should be paying this guy. Honestly. The one problem with politicians is how vague they have to be...about everything. This is why Romney WILL NOT WIN. His religious beliefs are so specific and politics require him to sidestep everything. He needs this guy.
