Of course they're not going to come out and stick their necks out and stick up for people. BUT WHY NOT? That's what makes our country sucky, IMO. Everyone is "moderate" and nothing changes. Because, you know, we don't want to ruffle any feathers. Well eff that!
I am totally cool with a candidate having personal beliefs and different ideas for the country. I don't entirely think that's possible when you're talking about someone's spiritual beliefs all the time (some people can do it, not all people can), and in order to know if someone is the sort who can personally believe one thing and do another in practice, you need to have info about the practice.

That's where he's lacking for me.
