Hey Mitt, what if the most qualified person is a Muslim? This sounds like Dubya's practice of filling positions with completely unqualified people who get the job, purely because they are Evangelic Neocons who pass a 'Litmus Test'. Mitt's comment is obviously an overcompensating remark meant for the Radical Right.

It doesn't sound to me like Romney would disregard possible cabinet members because they were muslim, but that he wouldn't seek out a muslim for his cabinet. That is 100% the right position, how does anybody's religion qualify them for a top-level government job? That head is misleading. Would all of you be just as upset if he wouldn't appoint somebody because they were Christian (Mormons included)?

What this suggests is that Romney will not put together a cabinet of the most capable advisors, but rather one that reflects demographic characteristics of America. That's an awfully interesting position to take, given that such a system would not have any Mormons in the cabinet (let alone the White House) either.

Its really sad to me that people are still judging others based on their faith. Isn't that the very reason the founding fathers left England?? I feel Mitt's answer was not only an insult to Muslims but also to all Americans that feel the same way i do. It would have been ok if he have said he would go by qualifications and not race, religion or gender but its obvious his answer was only meant to pander to his conservative base. I hope he loses votes for this answer but knowing how narrow-minded conservative republicans can be he probably just gained votes.

He said he"cannot see that a Cabinet position would be justified based on the percentage of Muslims in the U.S" That sounds to me like he's saying no Muslims in his cabinet because there's not enough of a percentage of them in the country. I don't even know what percentages have to do with picking presidential cabinet members. In retrospect that answer looks not only bigoted but kinda dumb.

Americans hold their rights as individuals, not as members of groups. No one should be barred from any position by virtue of belonging to any group, including any religious group.

We also, as some here have noted, have a specific ban on imposing religious tests on any individual seeking any office in our government. Romney has basically said he would ignore our constitution and impose a system of proportional representation in its stead. His position also must be that an American who is a Muslim shouldn't have the same access to serve in our government as other Americans. He ought to withdraw from the race right now.

Jon, Provo, Ut — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:13:24 GMT

In Mitt's defense, it seems that a lot of people are misinterpreting his response. He did not say Muslims are out of the question for cabinet positions. He said that a Cabinet position would be justified based on the percentage of Muslims in the U.S. Rather, as is to be understood, it would be justified based on the qualifications, skill, experience of the particular Muslim in question. His argument was against appointing a Muslim for the sake of having a muslim cabinet member, not against Muslims in general.

Jack — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:20:17 GMT

Romney is just trying to reassure the Republican base that he too is xenophobic. But the base should take this with a grain of salt. Republican politicians are actually closet islamophiles. They like the fact that Dubai now runs our ports, that Dubai runs our banks, and that Haliburton is now headquartered in Dubai. Many of you saw Bush and the Saudi king walking through the rose garden holding hands.

So my point is this: if you are xenophobic, don't vote Republican, because they do not share your views.

Rob Boston — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:26:55 GMT

There is a civil war in the Muslim world right now between radical nuts like Bin Laden vs. moderate Muslims. We initally backed the right group in Afghanistan by helping the Northern Alliance (all Muslims) to overthrow the Taliban. Then Bush attacked the evil nasty but absolutely secular Saddam in Iraq and we now find ourselves in a multiple shoot out. So NOT all Muslims are terrorists and we should see if we could strenghten our ties to the moderate Muslims.

Appointing a moderate American Muslim would be fine with me if he or she was the best qualified for the job.

When you seek to impose your will upon others, do not whine when they fight back with whatever means they have.

Jerry, you should know of all people. Republicans only care about loyalty. They do not give a rats ass whether they are qualified. It is all about kissing repuke ass. As long as you kiss their asses you have a job. Just like the 24 year old repuke loyalist who was sent to Iraq to set uo the stock exchange. He had no knowledge or experience in running stock markets, but he was a loyal Bushie. So Jerry it is all about loyalty to the repuke party and has nothing to do whether these people are qualified or not. Qulified people need not apply with repuke leaders, they only accept cronies and loyalists that put the party over country. Typical republican in my book.

I believe his exact words were he wouldn't have a "check the box" type qualification for cabinet members.

I believe the 'God' is in the details. The Children of Abraham, Itzhak and Ismail, pronounced the name of his 'God', two different ways. Itzhak said, 'Eloi' and Ismail said, 'Allah'. Either way, it's their Dad's 'God'. The same Deity in Latin is pronounced...well, 'Deus'.The term 'God', is an Aglicizing of the Germanic 'Gott'. In the Southern United States, it''s often pronounced "Guh-HAWD!". This Terminology War is nothing new to the Mediterranean Religions. The Greeks and Romans had different names for the same Gods, who had the same attributes. The Greeks felt the Roman Kings stole them along with their Architecture, and after the Greeks came up with Christianity, they felt the Roman Empire appropriated that, too. Hopefully, the next President will load the Administration with Buddhists. It's either that, Wiccans, or Scientologists.

Now the matter at hand is was the question was only used for a spin. Rommney's response. In another article Romeny states that he will put the best qualified in. Yes in the past people have filled their cabinet with other groups of people for votes. If the best person for the job is there, use them, regarless of race, color ethic background. I don't even care if they were born in America. If they are the best use them. A few presidents have even crossed political lines.

wouldn't putting someone in their cabinet just because they're of a different race/ethnicity as a scheme to please demographic groups be exactly what bush did, and did it work? no. i think romney is on for not putting someone in his cabinet so he can please one group, i know he didn't word it in his favor, but i think that's what he meant. and it's not bigotted to say you won't put someone of a different race in office just to put them in office. we can say all we want, but everything has to play out how it will, everyone, dem and rep needs to be given a chance to prove themselves in speech and action. forget the baiting tactics and mudslinging and let actions speak louder than words.
