Will Palin go after Romney's Mormonism?

[RandySF]

Last night we learned that, in Sarah Palin's new book, she criticized president John F. Kennedy for his famous speech about his Catholicism and the separation of Church and State. She also praised Mitt Romney for "embracing, not running away from" his religion. Is Palin, by essentially saying that a candidate's faith matters, setting up Romney's Mormonism as an issue in the 2012 presidential race?

And I agree with msongs

5. To be fair she did not criticize his faith. She simply repeated

the same old argument all the Religious Right make
against us all on the Left.

They want more and more religion in the public square.
They contend that Religion is such a part of a person,
how can you turn it on and turn it off. Prayer in school.
etc.

Actually she was using Kennedy show how she percieves
Liberals view their own Religion. We say it is a private
matter and many of us prefer not to wear our Religion
on our sleeves. She is treading on dangerous ground.
not for criticizing Catholicism but trying to read
someone else's conscience. This is the problem I have
with Zealots. No one knows another's mind and conscience.

Sure she picked Kennedy, who tended to be a Conservative
Democrat to try to attack a Democratic Icon.

6. Nope. Because they both believe similar things in regards to the USA being the new Holy Land.
