There was one interesting question raised in that video's comments, does the Ron Paul bring religion into politics? Because if he does, there really isn't anyone left to vote for
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

No. Ron Paul believes in the personal right to chose your own path. When it comes to religion, this is not something he uses to base his policies on. He is the constitutionalist.

As for Romney, scary scary!
Much of my family is Mormon. I have been to the church countless times. One of my brother's has been promised by the church during his "patriorical blessing" to see Jesus Christ before he dies, as long as he lives a "righteous" life.
The followers have been taught that the end of the world is near, and that when this time comes that the President of the United States will seek counsel from the Mormon prophet during the time of Armageddon. This is called "Joseph Smith's White Horse Prophecy". Look it up.

Now, you can bet your pants that if we elect a Mormon, who likely believes in this rhetoric (as based on my experience all the Mormon followers believe this), that he and the Mormon followers will most likely also believe and hence act as if he is this leader going into the times of Armageddon. Is this really what we want as the mindset of our president and 2% of our US population? Not me.

Mormonism is not typical Christianity, and is an extremist group. Not much different from the extreme Islamist, just in different ways.

I think the only two people left in the race for nomination are Romney and Paul. Santorum keeps blasting Obama about the economy and Gingrich has "woman problems". :lol:

I do. As a leader for the most militarily and financially powerful country in the world, it is most definitely important to know what they believe in, and more importantly how they may or will act based on these beliefs, religious and otherwise.

Just to be fair all presidents so far have all been christians, even Obama. So if Ron Paul says he wants change to come he should let Romney win. I still think that Obama will stay for another term anyway though. :P

Just to be fair, this statement is 100% false.
Monroe's, Madison, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Johnson, Grant, Hayes, and Arthur either individually disprove this statement, or for some at least arguably challenge it.

Your other statement is not really worth recognizing.
