Too bad all the candidates feel the need to pander
to the religious.
Why can't we have a ballsy candidate who answers, "Why
do you need to know about my faith?
Because they have to court the theocratic vote. From what I understand, even Mussolini feigned to be religious. Politicians are crafty. To generalize what I mean, even Hitler would put aside his intolerance of other countries in his propaganda.

And, when politicians flipflop in our collective face, they can chalk it up as our misinterpreting what they previously said. That's the wonderful world of politics.
