End of Religion Bashing in Presidential Race

President Obama and presumptive GOP nominee Romney will no longer be allowing attacks on each others religions, after they established a sort of truce. Recently, Republican Super PAC's proposed to put a spotlight on President Barack Obama's religion, as had happened in 2008. However, Romney shot the effort down before it even got off the ground, saying "I repudiate that effort. I think it's the wrong course for a PAC or a campaign. I hope that our campaigns can respectfully be about the future and about issues and about a vision for America." Obama reciprocated that sentiment as Democrats, upset about the idea of Obama's religion being under fire, said that Romney's religion should be under fire, too, stating that “We've said that's not fair game. And we wish that Gov. Romney would stand up as strongly and as resolutely consistently to refute these kinds of things on his side.”So now both political candidates have stated that the topic of faith shall no longer be used as a means of personal attack, and so the presidential race should now be about only topics regarding each candidates campaign.
