An imagined conversation:

Mitt Romney: “I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers – I will be true to them and to my beliefs.”

John McCain: “Faith of my fathers.” Nice phrase. Wonder where I’ve heard it before?

UPDATE: Numerous readers take me to task for not recognizing this hymn:

Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.
