Will we see the Democrats, and perhaps the mainstream press, try to discredit the Church in order to make Romney look bad?<BR/><BR/>The reason I ask this question is because of something I read this week on another blog.

Good points.<BR/><BR/>My wife was telling me about how recently Mitt Romney refused to spend state government money to protect someone who hates America (as I recall).
