    Because the only thing that appeals to working class white Americans more than bashing Blacks, or gays, or Mexicans or Muslims or universities or whoever the group to hate du jour happens to be is pretending to be a bible thumping, hypocritical Christian.

    Ron Paul is the terrific because of the fact he's a strict Constitutionalist, an economist with the help of learn, and is for the guy, no longer firms. Cain is familiar with banks having been chief of the Kansas city branch of the Federal Reserve, yet became a TARP cheerleader, huge time. we don't prefer greater corporatists. i'm unlikely by using all of them, nonetheless.

    Wow, a Ron Paul supporter... Ya know, I kinda like the guy and a lot of his stuff... Just a few glitches about foreign policy though.

    Anyway, the ONLY one I have heard make a federal case (sort of speaking) is Rick Perry. Maybe Bachmann a little. The rest have made their values know, and let it go at that.

    With 3 million unwanted children in the US foster care system, I think Ron paul's opposition to gay adoptions Is NOT keeping his religious values to himself.

    He doesn't talk about his religious beliefs as much as the others, but his policy aims are similar.

    You may have noticed that those asking the questions are the ones who always bring Religion into the debates. With only a couple of exceptions, the candidates only mention it when specifically asked.

    Perhaps you have not watched the debates and heard the questions being asked of them by the media. The media have made religion an issue.

    Everytime you say "Jesus" you get a vote regardless of anything you say or do otherwise.
