...Mitt Romney in the White House [May 21]? I don't think this country could endure another teetotaler President. The charge that questioning Romney's religion amounts to bigotry misses the point that if he were elected, at least 10% of his income - which would come from us taxpayers - would go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We have the right to ask him what he believes. Remember, this is a church that, until the late 1970s, believed blacks couldn't go to the highest tier of heaven, limits women's rights and believes...

...recognize the need for a little journalistic skepticism, but as a Mormon, I would have loved it if the article had been a little more pro-Mormon.

...Romney is like a charlatan selling snake oil at a carnival. He accommodates his beliefs to the situation at hand for his own advancement. And if he cannot figure out that the Mormon Church is a cult branch of traditional Christianity, how would he handle the complex challenges he would encounter as President and Commander in Chief?

...strength of that visibility and image, Thompson, 64, has vaulted in public-opinion polls to within striking distance of the leading Republican candidates. In the latest TIME poll, he's at 10%, matching Mitt Romney. But Thompson is under no illusion that winning the White House would be easy, despite (or perhaps because of) his frequent acknowledgment that "certain doors have opened to me from time to time in my life...
