And it is important to know what religion a candidate subscribes to because?

Of course. Character assassination and personal smear is an old and trusted weapon of the republican party.

Funny guy, hands down. But in my travels, people aren't as stupid as he might believe. I'd say the FOS population far exceeds stupidity in this era.
What some are calling stupid is an observation of provincial myopia applicable to citified folks who too narrowly focus themselves in specialty careers (more pedestrian is the Archie Bunker route), and their counterpart, the country mouse redneck using library books for shooting practice.

Both have more in dysfunctional common than they care to admit.

It is their own lack of character that their words and tactics betray. Lets see how long it takes full spectrum conservatives and republican constituents to figure out the fatal error in the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" life plan when it results in the constitution being used for toilet paper by their 'friends'.

Speaking of religion, why have we turned this oratorical actor, who supposedly has ultimate power, into a religious icon?

Hollywood has done something vicious to the dysfunctional human or Hollywood is a natural result of inate human dysfunction. Either way, political puppets of whatever stripe shouldn't be cared about beyond representation... but then one would have to be able to afford that representation in the first place.

Psst. There's no plastic Obama statue on anyones dashboard. Republicans are jealous that Americans believed in something they didn't own. AGAIN. What else is new.

Psst. Hollywood didn't do it. Madison ave zombie marketeers are eating your brains and feeding it back to you.

It's not like 'Hollywood' hasn't been pointing at it for decades.

It is a cult with dubious origins and some pretty whacked beliefs...

I don't need to know his religion to know he's a Muslim. Of course he denies he is a Muslim, but who can really be sure?
