Any more so than the religious litmus test of abortion?

Also... again... does it limit the persons ability to practice whatever religion they choose?
What does that mean "religious litmus test for abortion"?
I believe ones view on abortion can disqualifiy him for appointment to an office, but ones religion constitutionally can not.
It prevents them from participating in that way in the government. Please see article 6 of the Constitution.

So, to you, if one's religion teaches that abortion is murder, that person CAN be disqualified. But the religious views of your choosing cannot be used to disqualify someone?
There is NOTHING in the Constitution that says a person has to hire those whose views they disagree with. NOTHING.
If Cain chooses to not work with Muslims who support Sharia law, that is his choice. He has the FREEDOM to make that choice. The Muslim in question would not be forced to stop believing in Sharia law. There is nothing that hinders the Muslim in questions freedom of religious choice.
The party is still playas dating. They go out with this one for a while... they move to the next... but they always come back to the tried and true. Everybody already knows Romney. I agree, he'll likely be the one that gets the offer of the ring... but for now expect them to move about a bit and pay the "field"... If they find "The One" and it isn't Romney it isn't going to be like this, it will be far more exciting.
No, To me its not a problem if ones religen says abortion is murder, much like JFK's religion says such. Its what the person belvies that matters and what the person will try to enact using the government. Please see Article 6.

That Harry Reid never ran for president so his religion wasn't important to anyone outside his state. And maybe, not even in his state.
Whats your point Jug?......
The Constitution is irrelevant to the 4 points I made in the post....or the question I pose....
What country's constitution are you reading ?...It certainly isn't Art. 6 of the US Constitution
So one's religious beliefs only become an issue if he/she runs for President....it that you believe ?
Congressman or Supreme Court Judge or VP, etc...they're not important enough, huh ?
So WHAT religions have beliefs that disqualifies the person from running for president...(.IN YOUR MIND....)
Is it only Catholics and Mormons, or do you have others...>??
YOU can give us your view too Rana...as long as you agree
Much bigger deal w/ a Prez run. You're talking like christie or "the left" is setting the rules. Romney's religion is being targeted by those who call themselves Republicans.
Just an FYI. You are so obsessed w/ the "double standard."
You have a problem following along with the thread don't you.....this has nothing to do with Cain or the crazy Baptist pastor...nothing at all....
Christie was responding to my post and so was Jughead.....
Christie said.."That Harry Reid never ran for president so his religion wasn't important to anyone"....
So exactly what is she saying....the Reids Mormonism isn't important because he isn't running to President ?
And Romney's Mormonism is a big deal because he is?.....doesn't that make her a hypocrite and a religious bigot.....cause it sure as hell seems like it....plus
Its not important for Reid cause hes a Democrat and its is for Romney cause hes a Republican.....
Jughead keeps saying to read the Art. 6....wtf ?...that has nothing to do with my post or my question...we don't disqualify anyone the office because of religion...at lease not out in the bright sun of daylight....
And, in a way, I am obsessed with the double standard....not only because of it being against the very essence of eveything our country should stand for, but for the unfair and unjust way people are treated and the character assassination that comes with and because of it....

I understand why you're defensive. Because you were trying to insinuate that it was the left or the media or whoever who is deciding who gets more scrutiny for religion, and then you realized oops, it's the Republicans who are targeting Mitt's Mormonism.
You wanted so badly for it to be the left. Sorry, bravs.

Damo, the fact that Romney is OneCell's "favorite" should tell you all you need to know about Romney.
I disagree with your analysis, what I see happening is, a virtual unknown long-shot has steadily moved into the role of contender for the nomination, the more people hear of him and hear what he has to say. Six months ago, most Republican voters could not have told you who Herman Cain was, and now he is the #2 guy, and #1 in some polls. He didn't accomplish this with fancy flashy ad campaigns or publicity stunts, but with a clear articulate conservative message. He doesn't have more money than the other candidates, he didn't have better name recognition, he just has a solid core conservative message, which continues to resonate with every audience he speaks to.
Debate moderator: "Mr. Cain, is it true that you would support outlawing abortion for a woman who was raped?"
Buh bye, independents...
