Imagine that the many LDS (Mormon) owned businesses decided that they should be exempt from covering illness in their employees because the illness was the result of the choices they find morally wrong, drinking caffeine, smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages. They should not provide insurance for people who suffer illnesses which result from these choices. Morman's own Marriott Hotels, many many other corporate interests- I think the Cardinal from New York needs to consider this before claiming a special dispensation from the Federal Government for a significant and personal area of health care.

"Another Unforced Error". About a week ago, CNN played a clip of Romney saying Forclosures should be allowed to go through. Would be good for contractors, banks, etc. What a contrast to his recent Post-election night statements about the evils of Forclosures. Would love to see those two clips run together.

Hardball...2/9/12 Mr. Matthews and his white,male guests...refer to "Obama" (not a white boy" but often refer to Speaker Gingrich...hmmm. Why can't/don't you white fellows describe "Obama" as Mr. or President Obama? Some of you white boys ain't had no home train'....get over it...As Bill Cosby once said, "Some folk need to get out more."

The discussion with a Georgia Senator who walks out of a state legislative vote with seven other women chose to show their dissatisfaction with the vote on women's contraception vote.

But when Chris Mathews asks a question, "WHY", there is no mention of the fact that the conservative right is religion driven. Hardball refuses to discuss the issue of religion and its grab of all issues on the table today.

Santorum and Romney are religion driven as well as the show Hardball – because the tough questions will never be addressed. A soft pitch is all the show confronts, and is all that comes of talking heads who are religious driven.

I am looking for a secular alternative.

Sorry for the follow up.
