Suppose it were made widely known that the "Living Prophet" in SLC
has announced that God does not want the USA to bomb Iran.

Could a President Romney HONESTLY say that the Prophet's new
revelation has absolutely no effect upon his presidential decisions?

Or, turn the issue around on its head:

Better to ask these questions now, that next year.

But should their religious opinions guide public policy?

If that is what they expressed when they ran for office, then YES! I want an honest candidate and not one who is simply a people pleaser...
