Comments on: Romney Invokes Castro Saying? http://donklephant.com/2007/03/19/romney-invokes-castro-saying/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable.

When they report on democratic scandals, if they report it at all, they don't tell you the congressman in question's party affiliation. It's most noticeable in print media. But they ALWAYS point out when it's a Republican, and they NEVER do if it's a democrat in the hot seat. Look for it. I've come to just assume if they don't specify the party of the legislator who's in trouble, then it's a dimocrite.

I read somewhere a few weeks ago that it may be a cynical attempt to drive a wedge between Romney and Christian conservatives in the GOP, many of whom are quite ambivalent about the Mormon religion (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_Christianity" rel="nofollow">here</a> for background info on this).

I certainly do not hear the religion of any of the other candidates being mentioned with any regularity. In fact I would bet that most people have no clue what the other candidates religions are at all - with the exception of perhaps Obama. Sounds like a little bit of old fashioned bigotry to me.
