Romney: No Muslims In My Cabinet
By Nicole Belle Monday Nov 26, 2007 11:05am
Via Democracy Arsenal, here's what Mitt Romney told Mansoor Ijaz recently about the possibility of appointing a Muslim to his cabinet:
I asked Mr. Romney whether he would consider including qualified Americans of the Islamic faith in his cabinet as advisers on national security matters, given his position that "jihadism" is the principal foreign policy threat facing America today. He answered, "...based on the numbers of American Muslims [as a percentage] in our population, I cannot see that a cabinet position would be justified. But of course, I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration."
Hmmm. I thought Republicans were the ones opposed to identity politics and quotas? Let's just check their party platform and....let's see....aha, here it is: "Finally, because we are opposed to discrimination, we reject preferences, quotas, and set-asides based on skin color, ethnicity, or gender."
Sorry, my mistake. There's no mention of religious discrimination there, so I guess Mitt's on solid ground. Quotas for Muslims are OK.
Silly Kevin. You thought the Republicans were serious about that? C'mon, without racism and baseless fear mongering of the Other, Republicans would have to run on their record, and well, you see how that works for them.

He has to maintain his manlyhood.
A Mormon racist?? Shocking!!!
C&L is skewing the real intent of the comment again:
He meant his kitchen cabinet.
nonbeliever @ 3:
Armageddon (Greek αρμαγεδδων; [armageddôn] also spelled as Har-Magedon in some modern English translations), is the final climactic battle (or Campaign) between God, also known as YHWH Elohim through the person of the Messiah, and Satan, whose name means 'adversary' and which is also known as the Devil, through the person known as the "Beast", written in the Book of Revelation in the Christian New Testament, or more generally, an apocalyptic catastrophe.
So we have a devil who thinks he is the messiah and another devil who thinks he is the messiah at war with each other meanwhile everyone is sitting around thinking . . . . what the hell is going on with these guys? This isn't putting food on my table or helping me pay the god damned bills!

OK then Mitt, I won't consider a MORMON for President. Two can play the bigotry card!
By that [perverse] reich-wing "logic", then this country shouldn't elect a Mormon.
He'll claim he's misquoted and said no muslin.
These guys are trying to turn this country back to a time when all minorities were just props. They ignore black people, attack Mexicans and Mulsims, fanning flames of paranoia and hatred everywhere they speak. George Wallace and Strom Thurmond would be so proud.
This mimbo is still running? Nice hair, Mitt, ya empty suit.
Left&Left @ 13:
Give Wallace some credit for atonement. It took a crippling gunshot to wake him up but he admitted after that he was an ignorant idiot.
Mitt Romney is also saying there will be no Jews in his cabinet - considering the numbers are roughly equivalent. Oh, and there are roughly twice as many Mormons as there are muslims, so including him we should expect to see one more mormon.
Thanks for making the math simple for us, Mitt.
From TP:
According to the CIA World Factbook (which uses 2002 numbers), Mormons comprise just 2 percent of the U.S. population, while Jews and Muslims comprise 1 percent each. Based on 2001 numbers, there were 2.8 million Mormons and 1.1 million Muslims in the United States. Surveys since that time indicate that the number of Muslims may have eclipsed the number of Mormons living in the U.S.
There you have it folks....Mutt is not qualified to be president by his own standards.
Left&Left @ 13:
And they have the Blackwater Christian Knights to deal with the non believers too!
so the MORMON wants to judge people based on their religion??
Gee...according to the latest census, .6% of Americans identify themselves as of Muslim faith...Let's see...in the same report, only 1.3% identify themselves as Mormon...how ironic...BOTH would seem to be "insignificant" percentages if you use Romney's barometer. Apparently, Mitt wouldn't have HIMSELF in his cabinet.
Okay, they'll be no Muslims in your cabinet Mitt, now how about gays in your closet?
Mormon Milton doesn't know jack about jihad.
If Mitt only had a brain. The more he opens his mouth, the more stupid he sounds. I swear, he is competing with boy Bush in the lack of intelligence contest. So far, they are running neck to neck in the catagory of stupidity.
Calculatorr @ 16:
The next five years is going to be very strange.
If we make it through next year in one piece without all hell breaking loose.
You see, in Mitt's world it doesn't matter if the individual is actually QUAFLIFIED for a cabinet-level position if he/she happened to be Muslim.
So Mitt, what would you say to someone who won't vote for YOU because you're a Mormon???
Coffins Draped with Flags @ 23:
boosh and romney are necking?
Lollimom @ 6:
LMAO - I'm not sure the kitchen is safe when Mitt's in the room.
Those "lower level" positions in a Romney Cabinet:
Cooking on the grill
Serving coffee
File Clerk
Janitor/BusBoys
In other words, any job that is low visibility and represents a slave/master relationship.
He didn't learn shyt from George Felix "Macaca" Allen, did he? And Allen's the reason that Virginia's turning into a solidly "blue" state.
How the hell did Romney survive in Massachusetts, another "blue" state?
The Political Junkie @ 28:
You are not the only one to be wondering about Massachusetts. I dont know if I can forgive them for Mitt"jesus visited the injuns,really my sister humpin-granddaddy told me so"Romney.
Wow. to all the ppl in Mass.......You really elected this inbred slack jawed yokel?
Well, gosh. So if Romney uses his own "thinking" on this, we might extrapolate that "based on the numbers of American Mormons (as a percentage) in our population, I cannot see that a presidential position would be justified. I would imagine that Mormons could serve at lower levels in a Judeo-Protestant/Catholic administration."
I keep reading that Romney is a highly intelligent person. Would someone please direct me to where there is any evidence of this? When you couple this last statement of his with another fairly recent one having to do with our "right to be kept alive" as being part of the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness trio, ... well ... I'm just at somewhat of a loss for words here to describe my confusion over his "thinking."
ysaddaden @ 26:
Now there's a possibility.
It's so pathetic I can't even formulate a response. 2. Mitt believes that "jihadism" is the biggest threat to foriegn policy and b. Is not interested in a "highly qualified" canididate from a Muslim background that might have a unique perspective because the population statistics are not high enough?
So, does that mean rich white men will not get all of the high level positions? Pretty soon hispanic-americans will be the largest ethinic group. When will they start getting all the high level cabinet jobs?
moniker @ 22:
I dunno, he seems like a jack off to me.
How do you think he got the name Mitt?
Wouldn't it be ironic if the Arabs have to save us from the irreversible damage Bush Co and the Repungicans have done to this country the past 7 years?

I think Mitt's comments is reflection of what is acceptable currently in America.
What surprises is not Mitt's comment, it is the lack of media outrage over this pure discrimination, one that counters the very essence of our constitution, more importantly by someone who wants to uphold our constitution.
I fear we are in dangerous territory, if Mitt's comment has become acceptable by the media and the public, then it would not be long before one can say 'Eff you JEWS - Jesus Killer' without any repurcusion whatsoever, and furthermore even encouraged by our church, and national leaders.

Left&Left @ 49:
Okay. I won't argue with you.
I usually agree pretty much with the C&L slant, but this one is pretty lame.
There might be 1.1 million Muslims in the US--how many of them are long term, career politicians/operative Republicans? You are really asserting that Romney have Muslim, or Jewish, or Native American, or flying-Spaghetti monsterish, cabinet members based solely on their religion, for the sake of diversity? Granted, there appear to be Republican Muslims, although I don't happen to know any personally. Do you want a Democratic president to appoint Christian conservatives as a sop to diversity?
I am disappointed at the lengths NB is going to here to make an issue out of Romney saying he probably wouldn't have a Muslim on his cabinet. It stinks to high hell of molehill-to-mountainism we like to disparage the wingnuts for.
I am sure there are perfectly valid criticisms out there for Romney, but I don't think this is one of them.
What's the difference between Mitt's cult and somebody else's religion?
It's a trick question. They are all fantasy cults.
FarLefty @ 58:

LiberalTarian @ 57:
You don't see the problem with someone who bemoans being discriminated against based on religion saying he would discriminate against someone based on religion? The constitution insures no relgious test to hold office. Why should what religion a cabinet member is make a difference? How would he even find out what religion someone was?
LiberalTarian @ 57:
It's an issue because Mitt has made it about 'religion' and 'percentage' rather than qualifications.
No one is saying there must be a Muslim included in Romney's cabinet, only that Romney's rationale for not choosing a Muslim is wholly specious, and thus, the public should be wary.

Romney's cabinet will be one Morman and his wives.
64 (damn fingers) You will Not be asked for ID.
This makes perfect sense when viewed throught the "I'm for it if it benefits me" filter through which republicans see everything. Will a quota benefit those people and not me? Then I'm against quotas. Will a quota keep those people out of my cabinet and my friends in? Then I'm for quotas!
In a few decades, when whites are a minority in this country and non-whites and non-christians increasingly run things, these people will forget that they ever were against quotas. They have selfishness where their principles should be.
FarLefty @ 58:
My God can beat up your God(s).
Hey, just because Mitt is a Moron doesn't mean that he shouldn't be able to choose the cabinet he wants, discrimination be damned. Besides, it's not like he's going to win anyway (then again, I said the same thing about our current national embarrassment, so cross your fingers).
Personally, I only way that I could vote for someone named Mitt (please tell me that that isn't his name. While I still wouldn't vote for him I would feel a little better if his name were short for Milton or something like that. For some reason I imagine that Little Mitt was tormented throughout grade school, called everything from 'Muff" to "Mittens"; unless he came up in an environment where such a name is actually common, which could be part of the problem, I suppose) is that they were actually the Second Coming. Short of that, I don't think so.
Then there's also that whole Republican thing, too.
Doesn't anyone find it rather telling that in the last few years more than one minority group has been vilified by the party of values?
Gays are now feared like the plague, Hispanics are hated because the GOP and the media managed to connect them to illegal immigration, despite the fact that illegal immigrants come from various ethnicities AND there are millions of Hispanics in the U.S. who live here legally and are U.S. citizens. On top of it all, there's the hatred of Muslims and Middle Easterners.
It's like a Republican wet dream to have so many groups vilified. It makes one wonder, what an ideal America looks like in these people's (like Mitt) twisted minds.
"But of course, I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration.”
lower levels, mitt? what, like the dungeon? freudian slip much? yeesh, this hair-job is a class-A buffoon.
so, i would like someone to ask mitty, if he going to base his cabinet appointees based on population percentage, just how many gay people he will appoint to cabinet positions~
there are a lot more gay people than muslims on america (somewhere in the vicinity of 5-10%), so... will mitt go by his little formula?
me no thinky.

Shadowgm @ 61:
Shadowgm, right on. Romney is a double idiot for not giving the obvious answer which is: I would exclude no one on the basis of religion. Instead, Mitt the Twitt says the opposite: I will absolutely exclude a Muslim on the basis of religion. Then he compounds his own stupidity by trying to make it appear as a statistical matter that just happens to have a religious component.
LiberalTarian, this is not a small matter. Sure Twitt has the right to choose whomever he wants to be on his cabinet. But he is here publicly asserting a right to disallow someone on the basis of religion. Romney is courting the bigot-vote here, plain and simple. He owes -- but won't pay -- an apology to Muslims and tolerant Americans everywhere. Further, he needs to disavow bigotry and narrow-mindedness and to eschew potential voters who embrace either quality.
I'm glad to see he's finally showing his true Mormon colors.
Maybe he'll hire a Mormon to act like a muslim... They both believe a post-jesus prophet, (a poor, uneducated man in both cases) who brings a new bible to the world through a revelation by an angel. Shouldn't be too rough.
HA!
Votingvet@77 It's not just Shit Romney Votingvet. All the Republicans candidates speak in code to the bigots. Just listen.
The ironic thing is that multiple Mitt Flopney will be a victim of his own religious bigotry! Mainstream Christian America will never vote for a Mormon! LOL!
I bet Mitt would have a problem with Jews as well in his cabinet. After all, the Nazis were not to fond of either religion and it would make perfect sense to think that Mitt would stack his cabinet in the same way as the Nazis.

If Muslims aren't fit for his cabinet, then Mormons aren't fit to be president.
Republicans like Mitt continue to ignore the Constitution at every turn when it benefits themselves. That "damn piece of paper" calls for a seperation of church and state, which can be inferred to mean that people can run and serve in office despite their religious background. Of course, that does not matter for neocons like Mitt who are waging a holy war against "Islamofascists."
Trittydi @ 111:
Mormon women have periods?
Yes, but will he have an Indian in the Cupboard?
I wonder, then, how Romney answers those who say, "No Mormons for president"?
Romney is a Republican, therefore he is, by definition, an ignorant bigot.
What a fucking moron. A smart politician would have said, "when I'm considering who would be in my cabinet, I have one requirement: superior ability. What color they are and their religious convictions are unimportant."
But Mitt is a racist and a Republican so intelligence goes out the window. Please keep these fuckheads out of the White House next year. Any Democrat will due - even Hillary. She's no progressive -- we know that -- but you know full well she'd never say something this stupid.
This means a Mormon is not qualified to be a president given their percentage of population.

The Utah Jazz could boast of a couple of African-American players. One was named Adrian Dantley. The other was Karl "the Postman" Malone.
And they both delivered. Utah couldn't even spell "PLAYOFFS" without those two brothas.
In fact, the only time there were any semblance of African-American populations were as a result of the Utah Jazz and their family members in town for the NBA season, although I worked with an African-American woman who voluntarily lived there. I think they could even boast of a chapter of the NAACP, but probably not before the 1990s.
Hell, the Mormon church wouldn't even let African-Americans attend until 1978...
The Political Junkie @ 128:
Actually, they could attend almost right from the beginning, but in 1978 were allowed into the priesthood. The priesthood comprises every Mormon male from the age of 12 and up. Blacks were like women, not allowed the priesthood, but considered under it's protection.
Briefly under Joseph Smith, they had the priesthood, but by the time of Brigham Young, the argument became that whites weren't prepared for it.

"A Muslim belongs in the Cabinet
Muslims are uniquely qualified to help deter Islamist threats."
If one takes that thought process to it's logical conclusion we should elect a practicing Muslim President just because he's a Muslim.
The American Psychiatric Association designates three levels of mental retardation. Moron - Imbecile - Idiot.
Imbeciles go to school, work hard and aspire to become morons. Calling Romney a moron is not an insult but high praise indeed.
Replace the words "Muslim" and "cabinet position" with "Mormon" and "President of the United States" respectively and the irony of that statement becomes all too evident.
You know the real reason why Republican politicians are so often caught with their "logic and principle" pants down? They simply need to come up with trumped up reasons to cover up their real motive: either 1) Mitt doesn't like Muslims or 2) and more likely, he needs to APPEAR to not like Muslims in order to keep his support. All these "powerful" people obtained their power by knowing how to kiss ass to the right people, and that's just how they win office in this case too -- and you don't look to soulless cardboard-cutouts for logical argument based on principle.
You have to be elected first,you flip flopper SOB.You've got two chances,slim and none.
Romney: No Muslims In My Cabinet
USA : No Romney in Our Cabinet
To be fair; I read his statement and he didn't say that at all. I don't think he would be too concerned if there weren't any Muslims in his cabinet, but nobody gives a shit that there are no Muslims in this cabinet. Why would anyone expect any repug to even use the word Muslim except in sentences like "Muslims are dangerous" and "We should be killing more Muslims."
Wait a minute!
That's not Romney-the-Republican talking...
That's Mitt-the-Mormon talking.
LiberalTarian @ 58:
This certainly wouldn't be one of the times I would choose (as I oft have) to disagree with the slant of C&L.
One of the most enormous follies of the Republicans for the past seven years is how stupidly they have ventured to fool around in the Muslim world armed only with western tradition and a false or non-existant understanding of what the Arab region is all about. A woefully minimal amount of ground troops with Arabic communication skills. Maybe people like Mitt better just leave this part of the world alone if they don't want to have an allied member of their faith and population working alongside his own people to fix their problems.
Nevermind the already mentioned, outrageous defiance of the constitutional rule that you DON'T IMPOSE RELIGIOUS TESTS. He ought to get 0% of the vote right off the bat saying things like that in his advertisement.
lol @ teh constitution

Just what we need in the White House. An even worse
religious fanatic. How long will the American people
keep standing in the corner, and dropping their pants,
on demand? Americans had better wake up, and send
these fanatics back to whatever cesspool the came
from, before the religious fruitcakes start legislating
all moral issues from the Government, even more than
is already the case. Most all of the oppressive laws
enacted in the last 30 years, are Blue Law specials
from the same bunch that thought nothing of killing
1 million Iraqi babies with their sanctified Christian moral
sanctions. in their Christian "Crusade" against Muslims.
And those babies all died before 9/11. They died for
the simply offense of being born Iraqi. Some say at
least an additional 1 million Iraqis have been eliminated
since 2003. These fruitcakes think they are King Saul
with a kill all mandate from God. Proving religious fanatics
are murdering bastards, no matter which God, or religion
is involved. Mitt has made it clear he would escalate
the "Crusade" in the Middle East to glorious new heights
of Godly sanctity.
The Political Junkie @ 128:
Right. But as a person who attended maybe NBA games in that period, and whose season tickets were about 10 rows behind that visiting team bench, I can attest to A) the superiorskills of the Jazz, and B) the light skin color of the over all team, in comparison with all the other teams in the NBA at the time. It was stunning in its contrast.
And as a descendant of Mormons, I tend to notice what's going on in the mother hive...
