DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: ROMNEY’S MORMONISM OFF-LIMITS IN THE GENERAL ELECTION
Made popular 412 days ago in Society & Religion
theblaze.com — Questions have surrounded Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s faith since his 2008 run for the White House. Mainly, people have wondered how his membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints would impact his prospects among Republicans and the nation as a whole (The Blaze has explored this subject in detail).

Now, some Republicans — particularly Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch — are openly claiming that the Obama campaign will try to use Romney’s faith against him in the general election. On Wednesday, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) responded to Hatch’s comments on the matter and flatly denied that faith would be a factor in Democratic campaigning this year.

“You watch, they’re going to throw the Mormon church at (Romney) like you can’t believe,” Hatch said during a campaign event in Utah.

Wasserman Schultz, who also chairs the Democratic National Committee, took issue with this claim, calling it “nonsense” and pledging that the issue of religion would be off-limits in the 2012 presidential campaign. She also characterized Hatch’s claims that the Democrats will exploit Mormonism for political gain “just preposterous.”

No, when has she ever told a truth?

Yes, she won't be able to attack, but they will send their attack dogs like Howie Dean and James Carville along with the elite liberal media wing of the democRAT party to do it for them.
