Of course, such statements are not without precedent. Christ himself was hated and despised by the crowd friendly jews (Pharisees, Sadducees and Hypocrits) If that is the kind of restraint that Mr. McCain has, he would in my opinion not be a good choice to represent the people of this great country. Behold the man Mitt Romney!! Referring to the New York Times Article “GOP Rivals Dislike Romney”

What hypocrisy when McCain digs Mitt Romney as being a 'Flip-Flopper'! When it comes to controlling illegal immigration, John McCain now claims, "I've heard the people; our borders must be secured first." As one of the grand architects of the horribly flawed amnesty bill, McCain never priortized the need to secure our boders ahead of granting amnesty to 12-20 million illegal immigrants. So who's the Flipper now? McCain also boasts he's Mr. Military, because he called for the surge call in Iran. Some Commander in Chief he'd make ---he spares no cost of human life or tax dollars to protect Iran's borders, but only now 'hears' Americans demanding their borders be protected against illegal immigrants. Sure his hearing has improved--it was the deafing sound of the Tsunami sized wave of anti-amnesty phone calls that crashed the Senate phone system. Somehow, having the heart of his campain hopes smashed along with his amnesty bill ironically improved his hearing. If he, Bush, Kennedy, Clinton and the rest of his cloak room Cronies hadn't written the amnesty bill in secret, he might have been able to hear the millions of protesting American voices. Actions do speak louder than words, and his back-room politicing is evidence that he didn't hear anti-amesty sentiment protesters because he didn't want too -- until now. Surprise, surprise! Mr. McCain ---is the Biggest Flip-Flopper! What puzzles me is, how can voters can suffer from such severe short term memory loss about this guy's immigration plans? Also, now that our failing economy is taking center stage among candidates, why aren't voters making the connection between illegal immigration and our failing job economy, broken heathcare system, and over-burden schools? As long as we have a poorer-than poor, unlimited supply of workers who are tax subsidized, our economy isn't going to recover--it's going to get alot worse unless we elect some who will stop it. Mitt Romney is the man who will defend the laws of our country and secure our borders-not hand those who breaik laws a 'get of jail free card' as Senator McCain will. This is why Mitt Romney must be our next Presidenbt. He's the only candidate who has had the courage to state----from the very beginning of his campain--- that he will adhere to existing immigration laws, seure our borders, welcome legal immigrants and has demonstarted that he has the business and finacial expertise to turn America around!

It is Unfortunate that republicans are tearing down rupublican candidates with unfounded, hateful and bigoted comments. Suppose your candidate wins the primary... Well, What does it matter if all the negative campagning turns would-be-voters away from our party in the final election! In light of the war, slower economy, housing crisis etc. the democrats have ability to sway the thinking of the ignorant. You don't have to be the best candidate to get into the White House. (Remember Jimmy Carter?) There is really only one candidate that can bring the whole republican party together and lead a victory against the democrates later this November. I like all the candidates on our side, but there is only one with proven leadership, morals, knowlege and the record to bring positive fundamental change to Washington and do what is right for America. Be honest and open as you study each candidate and you can't deny that Mitt is our only chance against the democrats. We need a president that can lead America not just fill a seat. It would be nice if the republican candidates who are most favored by the democratic party would opt out and endorse the strongest candidate to win the White House.

Factcheck.org: McCain’s Misleading Mailer

He faults Romney for “providing” state funding for abortions that Romney didn’t seek, and courts ordered.

Summary
McCain is sending out a postcard mailing in South Carolina that is misleading on more than one point.

It says that “Romney provided taxpayer-funded abortions,” a distortion. Romney’s Massachusetts health-care plan faced a court order requiring abortions to be covered.

It says Romney “refused to endorse Bush Tax Cut Plan,” but fails to note that McCain himself voted against it.

It says, “Hillary tried to spend $1 million for a Woodstock museum” until “John McCain said NO.” In fact, McCain wasn’t present for the most important votes on the project.

Analysis
A copy of the mailer was provided to us by the Mitt Romney campaign at our request, after news accounts about it surfaced over the weekend.

It shows a smiling John McCain promising to “fight for lower taxes” and to “veto every single pork-barrel bill that crosses my desk.” Fair enough. Those pledges sound very similar to promises Romney himself has been making. But the mailer goes on to draw a picture of Romney’s record as governor of Massachusetts that is so distorted as to discredit McCain’s claim to be the candidate of “straight talk.”

That is hilarious. Huckabee effectively aired a negative attack add and didn't have to pay for it or answer for it. Nice, sophisticated political maneuver for the "guy next door," eh? That in response to Mitt Romneys contrast adds. The only honest one is Mitt Romney, and those who call him fake are only repeating hearsay. At least he had the courage to admit he was wrong about choice on abortion, and change his stance. He has never been "pro abortion!" Never! He has always believed it was a grevious sin, but his attitude on the role of government in the choice is what changed. For honesty and integrity, not to mention a resume of successful executive leadership and history of turning things around and reforming them into successful enterprises, from private companies to the Olympics, Mike Huckabee cannot come close to touching Mitt Romney. I hope enough people can wake up and look at the real issues, and get over their religious bigotry. This is 2008, not 1847! Tim, you sound as if Huckabee is the only honest one. That is hilarious.

Let's just hope that not only the people of Michigan but the rest of America will wake up and realize that Mitt Romney is the candidate with the most integrity in this race, the most education, experience and proven ability to be a strong visionary leader for times of critical change our nation now faces. McCain is an old man whose day is done and an established member of "business as usual" in Washington. Huckabee is a preacher and social liberal. Those 2 are in it for the glory. I'm disturbed by this persistent attitude we've developed in this country that a person cannot be a strong leader with integrity if they happen to be "rich". Since when did it become a sin to be wealthy? It's the American Dream to be prosperous! Give me a leader who can't be BOUGHT and CONTROLLED any day! Who's spending HIS OWN MONEY for the chance to do great service to his country! Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Monroe, Teddy Roosevelt:l wealthy leaders and great presidents! And no, I AM NOT A WEALTHY PERSON, working middle bearing the tax burden class born and still today...GO MITT!!! WAKE UP AMERICA to values of hard work, growth, development, innovation and LESS GOVERNMENT!! I agree with all the quotes I’ve been reading here today.
