You know… one thing I don’t understand is that McCain and Huck put down Romney for his money. Yet, McCain for sure is not hurting for money because of his wife’s vast fortune. And McCain/Huck have both have changed their minds on several issues through the years - and yet they beat Romney up for flip flopping. What is going on?

I think the growing story is that conservatives will not show up to vote for McCain against Hillary. McCain is Hillarys best hope. Give us a true conservative against Hillary and there is a clear and decisive difference. Give us McCain and it is like picking between gray and black. The media is trying to shove this guy down our throats and they will be surprised to see the true conservatives will simply spit McCain back out when it comes down to it. He will have to win with moderates not true conservatives.

I thought McCain came off as an as$ last nite, it was obvious he took Mitt’s quote out of context and what the heck was that comment about buying and selling companies costing people jobs? That dumb smile on his face the whole time…Out of the so-called republicans, Ron Paul is the only one I think truly speaks from his heart, although Romney is growing on me…

The other thing McCain said that made him look foolish was saying Romney changes his positions five minutes after admitting he would not sign his own bill. What a joke!

I don’t like it when McCain gives little digs - it is not necessary. We like Romney!

In my opinion McCain clearly revealed to the watching world his dishonesty, tendency to illogically act out, and his unpresidential bearing and demeanor. I do NOT want John McCain representing me to the world!

Mitt Romney has out classed McCain in every debate appearance they have had. Mitt is “head and shoulders” above McCain in knowledge, poise, and ability to communicate. When Mitt does make a mistake or misstatement, he recognizes that he has done so and moves on.

If McCain can’t handle himself in debates in the Republican Primary, I hate to see what will happen if he wins the nomination, or, heaven forbid, should he become President. The thought of McCain dealing with world leaders such as Viktor Zubkov (Russia), or Wen Jiabao (China) is appalling.

Vote McCain! The one with the courage to call for the troop surge when the Democrats were calling for timetables for withdrawal. Thanks Florida for not listening to the elite media, Rush, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, etc.! A great win for McCain because it was in a primary closed to only registered Republican voters where no Democrats or Independents could vote and McCain won by 5 points or 100,000 votes!

Romney: 1994: “I was an independent during the time of Reagan/Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan/Bush.”

Romney: 2002 “I will preserve and protect a woman’s right to choose.”

There’s something offensive, too, about McCain’s comment that “I did it out of patriotism, not for profit.” Suffice it to say that McCain’s patriotism is genuine and is among his most attractive qualities. His tendency to lord his patriotism over others is among his least attractive.

Thank you gov. crist! thank you senator martinez! You won flordia for mcCliar! Thanks you Mcliar for lying about romney(iraq issue) . You got Flordia tuesday, but you will not do it again!

Republicans unite. http://www.mittromney.com

Mitt is is mcLiar slayer!!!!!!!!!!

Can everyone just have a mind of thei own and stop using others talking points. Again, you check voting records! I did, Mitt has twisted many things in his campagne, saying he hasn’t raised taxes, he just called them something else, McCain is a liberal, Huckabee as he stated last is the ONLY candidate who has not waivered on his stance on abortion. He also totally changed Arkansas for the better!

Last night McCain, who is the putative frontrunner, resorted to a barrage of personal assaults on Romney that reflect more on the man making them than the target of the attacks. McCain now has a habit of describing Romney as a “manager for profit” and someone who has “laid-off” people, implying that Romney is both unpatriotic and uncaring. Moreover, he complains that Romney is using his “millions” or “fortune” to underwrite his campaign. This is a crass appeal to class warfare. McCain is extremely wealthy through marriage. Romney has never denigrated McCain for his wealth or the manner in which he acquired it. Evidently Romney’s character doesn’t let him to cross certain boundaries of decorum and decency, but McCain’s does. And what of managing for profit? When did free enterprise become evil? This is liberal pablum which, once again, could have been uttered by Hillary Clinton. By Mark R. Levin

McLAME will lose against the Democrats Guaranteed!

A VOTE FOR HUCKABEE IS A VOTE FOR McCAIN!
Anyone that doesn’t see it that way is either Naive or an idiot!

And Thank You to the 695,746 registered Republicans and Florida for voting McCain!!!

A vote for Mitt is a vote for Mormonisn, I challenge you to study it for yourself, if Mitt gets in, it is not like a Baptist, Presbeterian, Assembly of God etc. In their religion, they MUST do what the prophet in Utah says! Period! So since you were so bold to name call: a vote fr liberal McCain or cultist Romeny is a fool, because the Bible says that those who sy there is no God is a fool. Because you cannot believe in the God the Bible speaks about and believe in abortion, as both Romeny and McCain have done.

I respect McCain’s service although I disagree with his less than conservative stance several policy issues(immigration, finance reform, gas emissions, drilling in Anwar, selection of Judges).

However, the greater issue of concern for me is his hypocrisy. His “strait talk express” has been shown to be completely false. He was smug and arrogant as if he is owed the Presidency. He was disrespectful and childish. His attacks over these few weeks have been clearly politcally driven by his hunger for power. He has gone way down in my book. The last thing we need is a hypocrit in the White House.

Romney has responded to McCain’s immaturity with Class and shown the even temperment that allows for a Commader in Chief to make sound, wise decisions. This all on top of his standing up for the conservative values we need. Your vote counts and last nights debate only confirmed that Romney is the one. Please join me and vote Mitt for president.

Romney does have problems with the issues. How firm is he? How long has he held his current views?

I really don’t see a candidate with a full package coming out of the GOP race.

It’s a shame that Huckabee will probably back McCain when he eventually drops out. Huckabee would make a fine running mate for Romney as McCain would for Billary. Someone should tell McCain he’s standing in the “Left Isle”.

A note to Rod on Mormonism, I am one, and I thank my parents for giving me such a wonderful life. Obviously you do not know much about our faith. We still have free agency, we DO NOT have to follow everything. Maybe you should attend our service and see how uplifting it is. I hope Romney wins, not because of his faith, but because of his ethics, his knowledge and his intelligence.

I think the differences between Romney and mcain are becoming more clear and Romney is showing himself to be the most conservative. I only hope that mike huckabee will drop out soon because he can’t win and his entire campaign has been based on stopping romney and helping mccain. I hope conservative voters will realize that voting for huckabee is a waste and they will give their support to Mitt Romney. if mitt Romney can secure a foundation of conservative voters he will rise as the republican nominee, and he is the only candidate with the resources to win in a national election. Besides even if Mccain wins he will destroy the republican party and it will be a victory for the democrats.

I like McCain’s willingness to not go with the flow, not follow the direction of Rush and Sean H., his willingness to attack wasteful spending whether it be from the usual democrats or the republicans, who failed to control spending during the first 6 years of the Bush administaration when they controlled both the House and the Senate. I don’t think Romney has the nads to do that, just like he didn’t have the nads to forgo his religious exemption from Vietnam, nor the nads to forgo his college exemption from Vietnam, nor the nads to take a position on the troop surge after the ‘06 elections, nor the nads to run for Governor in Massachussettes as a pro-lifer, etc. You may not like all McCain’s policy positions, but at least he takes a position and puts it out there. While Romney was doing a mission in France, McCain was doing a mission in Hanoi. Give me a President with nads and leave the economy to the private sector where it belongs.

McCain’s case, adherence is the exception to the rule — McCain-Feingold (restrictions on political speech), McCain-Kennedy (amnesty for illegal aliens), McCain-Kennedy-Edwards (trial lawyers’ bill of rights), McCain-Lieberman (global warming legislation), Gang of 14 (obstructing change to the filibuster rule for judicial nominations), the Bush tax cuts, and so forth. This is a record any liberal Democrat would proudly run on.

I liked Romney’s plan in the debate to find all 10 million plus illegals in this country and ship them out of the country, whether they’ve been here a day or been living here for a generation. I’d love to see a movie that shows how that would happen. Government agents and police going door-to-door and pulling out grandparents, mothers, fathers, children, babies and putting them on buses being sent to holding facilities prior to deportation. Pulling people out of churches, synagogues, and temples that attempt to keep them in this country. Something tells me Romney might flip-flop on that one!

I remember the first man I voted for, for President:
-He was pretty old.
-He was a senator.
-He was a war veteran.
-He was not the most conservative candidate on the ticket.
-He was not really my favorite Republican candidate, but the media insisted he was the only one who could beat Clinton.
-He got his butt handed to him in the general election.
So what’s the moral of the story? Apparently that the Republican party has a memory span of less than ten years.

McCain is out of the conservative mainstream, and out of touch with the American people.

I remember Romney getting his butt handed to him 2 days ago. Some have a memory span of less than 2 days.

In a blog post, Josh Trevino has outlined the parameters of “Romney’s Florida win.” Trevino points out that according to CNN’s exit poll numbers:
Romney won pro-lifers.
Romney won the mainstream religious. (Huckabee won the very religious–less than one-fifth of the pool.)
Romney won the Protestants.
Romney tied Huckabee with Evangelicals.
Romney won the pro-GWB voters.
Romney is the primary second choice of Giuliani voters, Thompson voters . . . and McCain voters.
Romney won the immigration hard-liners.
Romney won the upper-middle class, earning between $100,000 and $200,000 annually.
Romney won the terrorism-oriented voters.
Romney won the self-identified conservatives and the self-identified very conservative.
Romney won the values-oriented voters.
Romney won the white voters.
Romney won the tax-cutting voters.
In short, Mitt Romney won the Republican Party’s idea of itself — and that, too, is a big deal. If you’re white, Protestant, anti-abortion, go to church on Sundays, think well of the President, want lower taxes, hate terrorists, make a good living, want to do something about immigration, and live in Florida, chances are you voted Romney. The question before Florida was whether McCain could win a closed Republican race, and now we know he can. The question now is whether he can win conservatives — and in Florida, he did not.

I believe that this flip flopper rap that the AIPAC controlled media has placed on Gov. Romney is absolutely ludicrous. I was a life-long Democrat, and I firmly believed in a woman’s right to choose. But as I got older and wiser, I left the Democratic party and my belief also changed. I am now against abortion, except in the case of incest or rape, the same position that Bush holds. So, does that make me a flip flopper? No. It makes me a person who has grown spiritually, and who believes in personal responsibility and accountability. So instead of you evangelicals continuing to allow yourselves to be brainwashed by the Israel Lobby’s media mafia, you should thank God that people are finally seeing the truth about abortion, including me and Gov. Romney.

Uh, are you a loon? Florida’s closed Republican Primary was 2 days ago, they said McCain won by 100,000 votes. Guess it was all those dang poor, tax-raising, atheist, Bush-hating, pro-abortion, open-border, liberal, non-white Republicans!! I live in Florida and can’t seem to find the 695,746 of these type people that voted for McCain!!!

Romney: 2002 “I will preserve and protect a woman’s right to choose.” Of course, this was in Massachussettes.

I have no respect for McCain. I will be voting for Romney in CA this week. If McCain gets the nomination, I will vote for Obama in the general. At least I can respect Obama. Republicans and conservatives, unite for Romney!!!

I think many of the Romney supporters are bigoted, Democrat, Mormons who wouldn’t normally vote Republican but put religion over their Democrat ideals and therefore wouldn’t vote for any Republican other than Romney. That’s why if he’s not the Republican nominee, they’ll go back to their normal Democrats.

Does McCain “get why he wouldn’t vote for his own amnesty bill”? Can we trust him to build the walls and enforce border security? Will he do was has never been done? I don’t think so. He is an arrogant, smug politician that’s been at the trough for 25 years.

I trust McCain as far as I can throw him. His talking points are shallow, simple and general. If he has anything more than a military record and an abysmal Numbers USA rating, please let me know… Too bad Huck will endorse him, and hopefully Huck’s supporters won’t gravitate to mediocrity McCain. That will really suck for the conservative GOP voters like myself….

Friends… I can secure our borders because I’m from a border state and I have lived there most my life and I am a Senator from that state. Friends… don’t ask me why I haven’t done it yet. Maybe it’s because I have a lot of voters to keep and who knows what would happen if I did. Friends… I hope all of you evangelicals continue to waste your vote on Mike Huckabee because he’ll never make it to the presidency and you take all the votes from Romney. And lastly … Friends… Once I’m in office I’ll be sure to take the wool, that I so easily pulled over them, off so you can see the real liberal I am.
Thanks Friends!!!

What a disgrace to the party.

Rod–A vote for Mitt is a vote for mormonism??? He’s not running for the pastor of your church–and neither is Huckabee. I am not mormon, but I respect those who are. They behave in a much more christian way than many of the evangelicals I know. They walk the walk, as does Mitt. Actions speak louder than words. Romney has more ethical foundation than Huckabee ever will flip flops and all.

I look forward to Romney’s illegal immigrant trail of tears march to the border….unless they’re white or wearing white shirts, a tie, and riding a bicycle then they should get to stay.

Teresa,
Utah is traditionally the most republican state in the Union. You’ll find that in the last few elections that has been the case. It’s no coincidence that it is a predominately Mormon state as well. There are many diverse people in Utah but for the most part it is Mormon. Now to your point… I think you’ll find that it’s not the fact that Mormons aren’t Republican enough it’s the fact that McCain isn’t Republican enough. If you’re going to have a liberal ie. McCain in the White House…. why not have a liberal who can excite and lead towards something better ie. Obama. McCain is a compromise for Republicans and that’s the bottom line. McCain is dividing and conquering right now and you’ll see that as long as there are two evangelical republicans… McCain will win… and friends… that’s just not what I want.

An open letter from a concerned voter to Senator John McCain:

Senator McCain,

Over the years I have been an admirer of your courage as a POW. I have also been impressed when it seemed that you were a man of integrity in the Senate, in spite of your opposition to many Republican and conservative positions. However, during the course of the current campaign, I have become convinced that I was wrong to think so highly of you. I no longer recognize you as the hero who long ago stood up to your Vietnamese captors and defended what was right. Let me explain why.

I have observed your recent debates and political posturing, including your dishonest attacks on Governor Mitt Romney’s position on Iraq. I say dishonest because I have read the entire transcript and watched the video of Romney’s April 2006 Good Morning America interview, upon which you based your attack. Frankly, I do not see how any honest observer could conclude that Romney ever supported the Democrats’ proposed legislation imposing a timeline for a withdrawal from Iraq. In that interview Romney specifically stated that as president he would veto any such proposal. What part of veto did you not understand? Romney went on at some length to explain exactly why he would veto that type of “timeline for surrender”. Romney did also discuss some private timelines and benchmarks that he would apply in dealing with the Iraqi government. Haven’t President Bush, General Patreus and even you also supported such plans as part of our war strategy? You even said that if your benchmarks were not met you would withdraw the troops. Couldn’t that be misconstrued as your own timeline for withdrawal? Your continued attacks on Romney on this phony issue say nothing about Romney, but do raise troubling questions as to your own honesty, character and intellect.

Why is this all so important to me? It goes far beyond an honest debate on Iraq policy or mere election year politics. It goes directly to the character issues that I believe are of utmost importance in selecting a president. I know that you never attended Harvard Law School, but most Americans know, either from jury duty or from inherent good sense, that a person who is intentionally untruthful on one important matter may be distrusted on all others. If you can look the American people in the eye and blatantly lie about Romney’s Iraq position, how can we trust you on other important issues facing our country? Frankly, your campaign tactics reek of Clinton-style ethics.

Beyond your lack of honesty, I am concerned by your pathological inability to concede any error in political judgment. Your lie about Romney is just one example where you stubbornly cling to a position even when confronted with incontrovertible evidence that you were wrong. You somehow believe that you are always right, even when your current position has changed 180 degrees from what your have said in the past. On the Kennedy/McCain amnesty bill, which the American people rejected so vehemently, you now say that you support securing the border first. But, if you can’t admit that you were wrong previously on amnesty, how can we believe your election year conversion to border security? In fact, on Meet the Press on January 27, 2008, you told Tim Russert that, if given the opportunity as president, you would sign the Kennedy/McCain amnesty bill. So, how can we know which is the real McCain policy?

On the issue of the Bush tax cuts that you voted against, you have changed your public justification for your votes. Do you think that we don’t remember what you said at the time about “tax cuts for the rich”? Why should we believe you when you say that your real reason for voting against the tax cuts was because spending was not being controlled? Inexplicably, you also say now that you support making the same tax cuts permanent. Were you wrong before, or do you think that spending is suddenly under control? If Romney took such inconsistent and illogical positions you would deride him as a “flip-flopper”.

Your choices on campaign tactics, amnesty and tax cuts show that your judgment is seriously flawed. Your inability to even recognize such errors is itself a flaw in character. What is it about your psyche that prevents you from saying, “I was wrong.”? Integrity is not believing you are never wrong. Humility is not weakness. Stubborn adherence to a known mistake is simply foolish. As president, how could you objectively deal with complex legal, diplomatic and economic issues if you ignore the plain facts and only see what you want to see? In a time of crisis, will you misconstrue a foreign leader’s words to fit your own preconceived notions or to justify your own past mistakes? Where will that lead us?

It is now clear to me that you lack the personal integrity, judgment and intellect the presidency requires. I cannot support you in the primary, and I will not vote for you if you are nominated. You are manifestly unfit for office. You may not like to hear it, but that is straight talk.

Sincerely,

Concerned Voter

I think the piling on going on against John McCain is a reflex response from those who can’t stand independent thinking, and what nothing but amens from the amen corner. I have always been a republican and wish certain folks, Rush, Sean, and Ann especially, would just cool it and allow that maybe some of us have enough lights on upstairs to see the only way the White House will be occupied by a republican this fall is if a moderate is chosen to run against the democrats. As a 70 year old retired doctor I also am convinced changes in our medical system are only a little less important than tort reform. Tax relief and decreased spending I am all for.

6 days until the Romney campaign is over.

WHAT DO MORMONS REALLY BELIEVE IN?

Do you really want to know what do Mormons believe?

Go to http://www.mormon.org and click on Basic Beliefs

On this page:

You can ask for a FREE BOOK OF MORMON read it and you’ll really know what kind of Jesus they believe in.

You can also request for a FREE HOLY BIBLE compare it with the Book of Mormon and you will know the truth about those Mormons.

DON’T GIVE UP ON GOV. HUCKABEE YET AND DO NOT VOTE FOR MITT UNTIL YOU DO THAT!!!!!

I absolutly agree with DMH. Coming from Califonia and moving to Utah, all the rumors you hear about Mormons you should forget about! Ill ive learned since living hear is they work just as hard if not harder then me and you. And they have strong morals when it comes family, and caring about your neighbor. That aside I like Mitt Romney because he is the strongest condidate when it comes to economics. I want someone that made a fortune in American Buisness, because thats someone I want to lead me, not someone that only cares about the War on Terrorism which has nothing to do with alot of Americans excpet effect the economy. And why wont McCain just answer an economic question straight?!

ABQ-NM … if I request a FREE HOLY BIBLE from that non-christian mormon radical cultist extremist group and read it… will I also know what Jesus you believe in? Hmmm…. wonder why they’d want to give some crazy random book away for free… especially if they don’t believe it.

Mitt Romney: Thank you for running for President. You are the only hope for true conservatives! It is beyond me how people cannot see that you are the most qualified person in every way to lead our country. And not only that, you are also the best example we could put up for the rest of the world — an honorable man, father, and husband with high morals and standards. Thank you for sacrificing your time to serve our country. Thank you for being willing to spend your own money and for not being “owned” by other crooked politicians. I have the greatest respect for you!

You can also go to lds.org for information on Mormons… it’s an real eye opener

If Romney extracts the millions of illegals here and sends them home, then who will build our border fence?

If Romney wins, will he make it easier to research my genealogy?

I am getting tired of people bashing Romney simply because of his religion. If you don’t want people to support him why can’t you come up with a more convincing reason. I have always voted republican, but I refuse to vote for McCain. If he is the nominee he doesn’t stand a chance against Hillary or Obama so I won’t consider my vote a waste when I vote third party. The line has been drawn in the sand, and at some point you have to vote with your values and you may have to ditch your party to do that.
Unfortunately we are probably going to have a democratic president this year, but lets at least have a democrat ruining the country, not a republican. McCain is a democrat and his hypocrisy disgusts me.

6 more days and the Romney supporters can go home to Hillary and Obama.

If Romney doesn’t get the nomination, my husband and I will vote for Clinton.

If Romney gets the nomination, my 3 wives and I will vote for Romney.

Ok- so McCain won in FL by about 95,000 votes. You can go to CNN and after a bunch of clicking get the county by county results (I assume it is available elsewhere). What do you find? 51,000 of those votes were in Miami-Dade county alone! What does that tell us? It was the Cuban Americans siding with Mel Martinez (and I can’t confirm but I thought I read a column by Novak that said he was a co-sponsor on McCain/Kennedy) that really swung towards McCain. So a vote for McCain, who dodged the question last night about voting for his own bill if it came up while he was president, is a vote for that bill to be signed! Amnesty all over again.

Palm Beach county went 9,000 votes for McCain and then there was +/- in all the rest. So McCain did, as the exit polls showed, get the senior citizen vote.

Now, obviously Cuban Americans who voted are legal immigrants who could vote. But someone please tell me why Miami-Dade went 49% McCain, 26% Giuliani, 16% Romney, and 6% Huckabee. Was it something other than just Martinez’s endorsement, was it McCain/Kennedy or was it something else?

Any Floridians with additional insight?

I agree with the countless posts I have read today that McCain is absolutely unelectable. The person who said “as long as we’re going to have a liberal running the country, let’s have one we can respect. Vote for Obama.” Hear! Hear!

What to do in a McCurious George against the Witch contest is a puzzle to me, however. I’ll probably write in Mickey Mouse, or vote for Ralph Nader, just to make him feel good.

Imagine having to listen to Hillary’s voice on the tube for the next 4-8 years. And they say they cringe at W’s! Are you kidding me? That woman’s voice is like nails on the chalkboard, right down to the shiver down your spine.

I’m crying for Mitt. He could be so great! Still, I’m holding out a glimmer of hope for him. Somehow, Mitt. Somehow!

And, if not this year, maybe in 2012. If you think its a fixer-upper now, wait till Hillary gets her claws on things!

I’ll tell you, as an Idahoan, why Miami-Dade voted the way it did:

All highly populated, poverty-rich, intelligence-poor metropolitan areas vote Democrat. They’re looking for a handout, in the form of free healthcare, amnesty, or something else, they’re always asking “what can my country do for me?”

Watch that same county turn on him in the general like a rabid dog.

When you have the smartest, most effective candidate with the most presidential demenor and he does not have a substantial lead, it makes you wonder what kind of voters you are dealing with.

John McCain has POOR LEADERSHIP history.

John McCain shows how STUBBORN and ARROGANCE he is during the debate, which is an indication of his lack of leadership skills. His senate record shows he has constantly went against his own party and working with the liberals to mire in controversial issues.

Yes, he was a Vietnam war hero. But he has ridden that status for over three decades as a CAREER POLITICIAN with very little positive results. Keep in mind McCain has no private sector, managerial or executive experience in and out of the government, what so ever. The only management experience he has may just be his 12 congressional staff. Being the chair of some committee in the capital can hardly translate to real life experience. Does the country really think this man can revive our economy and make us competitive again in the world?

McCain just looks too old and frail. What a terrible image it would be for America if he is at the helm. Just picture him not getting along with many of our allies and bringing more divisiveness to Washington. Not to mention his lack of understanding of how the economy works in the world. He reminds us of Jimmy Carter, who won the white house with his character that brought poor results and smearing Romney’s in a cheap way.

If McCain became the nominee, come Jan. 2009 we will hear “Hail to the Chief!” being played for Mrs. President.

Dean,

I’m the daughter of 2 Cuban-Americans who were exiled to MIami about 37 years ago during the Castro Revolution. My parents and people of my parents’ generation as well as many of their children have witnessed first hand how scary a communist ‘redistribution of wealth’ really is. It is these people that voted for Romney (and against more liberal/socialist ideas as McCain/Giuliani’s) in Miami. The problem is that over the years, with the Cuban-Americans’ aging population and many moving away from the Miami area, much of this demographic has shrunk. In its place are Cuban-Americans that have arrived more recently (eg since 1985) who have lived many years, perhaps their whole life under a Communist regime and this is all they know - reliance on government help and the almighty redistribution of wealth which squashes all motivations for trying to make it on your own (why should you when someone else will do it for you? - did you catch that McCain belittled entrepeneurs in the Repub debate?). Unfortunately, these were the ones that carried McCain in Miami.

I”m a Republican and McCain scares me - not so much for being a Dem in Repub’s clothing (although that does bother), but I’m scared because he appears to be a loose cannon with his finger on the button.

should read exiled 47 yrs ago…

I agree Phil, McCain should have won by much more than 5 points. I can’t believe Romney only lost by 100,000 votes in Florida.

I live in AZ, and I am embarrased to admit that I have voted for John McCain in the past. He has stated that he is on a Straight Talk Express. I would take that to mean that he will be honest and truthful in his words. Unfortunately, his Staright Talk Express has taken so many detours that he is lost in the woods. I will never vote for him again.

To hear several commentators say the same thing, and to see a very funny Princess Bride parody involving Mitt Romney and Governor Huckabee, go to http://www.conservativesformitt.blogspot.com

It’s amazing how much saying Huckabee resembles saying Humperdink…

I agree with Bob, McCain should have won by much more than 5 points. I can’t believe Romney only lost by 100,000 votes in Florida.

Can someone please explain Mr. Romney’s position on timetables to me, because he sure can’t

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDKCDdevWnk

Thanks for the insight, Linda.

Poor Mitt, everybody is picking on him, judging by these pro Mitt emails he has won the sympathy vote. A few Hillary tears and he will have the Democratics. Mitts political life has been planned, directed, and controlled by others (higher powers?).

If this was choosing to date an old sailor versus a yuppie named Mitt …this chick will stay home on election day to wash her hair.

I think MItt’s defense is worlds away from HIllary’s crocodile tears. You can’t blame the guy for trying to combat false accusations (even the liberal media, who luuuuvs McCain, rightfully came to Mitt’s defense discrediting the accusations).

Mitt is the 2008 Flip Flopper!

Abortion-
As Gov: it is a personal choice and not the govt
As Candidate: pro-life
FLIP FLOP

Immigration-
2 Years ago: backed McCains plan
As Candidate: vilifies McCain
FLIP FLOP

All he does is shift his position to the Conservative side, saying what they want to hear. Do not trust any “conservative” that comes out of Massachusetts, the most liberal state in the Union.

Check McCains 30 year record. He is more of a Republican and Conservative then Mitt ever was, is, or shall be.

Check realclearpolitics.com. McCain is the only one that can beat the Dems.

McCain 2008

Gee Matt-

Fact check. As a Gubernatorial Candidate he said personal choice and government shouldn’t be involved. As Governor, ticked off many in MA by actually being pro-life. Maybe flip (but definitely not a flop). (But Reagan, Bush, and gee- even me- went from choice to life.)

Last night Romney made clear that when he saw (and did not study in depth) McCain’s plan it was reasonable (far cry from backing which he never did). McCain caved further to Teddy and the final bill was even worse so he did not back it then and does not now. (Not even a flip in my book.)

McCain a conservative? HAD a good rating of 80+%, but in the last decade has gone way left. Not just working with Democrats, but the far left wing ones like Kennedy and Feingold. Opposed tax cuts at the time (not because of lack of spending cuts which is his current lie) because they “favored the wealthy.” Gee- Major flip on his part.

Sponsored and wrote the amnesty bill, got beaten up by the public for it, said last week in an interview he would sign it if it came across his desk as president, then last night did not have the courage or morals to say no I will not sign it. How could he when he won FL because of his stance on that bill. He’s flipping and flopping like a fish out of water on this one.

In the SC debate stated unequivocally (he loves that word) that we are not heading for recession. One week later- we need a stimulus package and make the tax cuts I opposed permanent. FLIP!

He clearly thinks working for profit is bad. Not conservative. (But I guess dumping your first wife for someone much younger and worth $25M is???)

Considering running as Kerry’s VP? Not conservative.

Please show me what record I am missing.

No Republican can win if the base doesn’t show. McCain will lead to supermajorities of Democrats in the House and Senate and the one thing he is good for- Iraq- will be taken away.

McCain is a lying angry old big midget and we must reject him. There I said it.

I feel much better now. Thanks.

McCain cannot win against Democrats. They will expose his hypocrisy and come after him in debates in ways Romney feels he cannot. Here is an excellent article on the subject:

McCain is unelectable against Barack or Billary.
Very Interesting, media bias and great slide to the left. Big media hate Romney, Reagan Ike, and other conservatives. Republicans should take their time & not rush to Judgement on Romney or
McCain, go slow. Their is very little difference between Obama & Hilliary on issues. So its
Obvious McCain is trying to run to the right of Romney on the war, and its a loser for
McCain in the fall. Romney is more conservative than on all the issues and the same on
Iraq, except the 100 year in Iraq statement which is a loser for him also. The only issue that McCain
hasn’t waffled on is Iraq. Romney changed position on abortion and was honest about it. If McCain
wins nomination he has little chance for being elected, and Democrats are begging to run against
him. McCain has one issue. The democrats would love to have McCain bounce around on his Iraq
pogo stick. They will kill him because he is old and not very intellectual, a able politician but,
has changed positions on to many issues. The media likes him, but the line that he can work
with the left is laughable, because he is a leftist. Romney impresses me as a very intelligent
man, sincere and honest, not a washington opportunitist. Romney statement at the debate
on foreign powers at this time in history. He won as a republican in a very liberal state. He
is appealing to some moderate democrats. The claim that McCain is more electable is a media
illusion. The media will paint him as a heartless politician, dumping a cripple wife, swearing
& anger tirades they will paint him as a old cranky man. Romney is more electable, much
more intelligent, a real family, instead of a wealthy trophy wife. Romney is a clean machine.
McCains closet will be exposed by slippery Democrats.

Huckabee should get out. His hatred and class warfare tactics against Romney are base
& low class. Is he trying to kiss McCains you know what for a position down the line.
Huckabee is a bad example for Christians.

Let us look at McCain’s conservative credentials:
-IMMIGRATION: he wrote the bill granting amnesty to illegal immigrants (co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy)
-SOCIAL SECURITY: he voted to give your social security money to illegal immigrants
-TAXES: he voted against the Bush tax cuts multiple times (he has since flip-flopped and has campaigned as a lifelong tax-cutter)
-RHETORIC: he routinely engages in Democratic class warfare against big companies in America, particularly the “evil” drug companies who research cures to debilitating diseases for a profit
-ECONOMY: as recently as December 2007 he admitted “he does not know the economy very well” and needed to get better at it
-1ST AMENDMENT: he wrote the McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that was declared to be an unconstitutional infringement of the 1st Amendment (co-sponsored by ultra-liberal Democrat Russ Feingold)
-2ND AMENDMENT: he was called the “worst 2nd amendment candidate” by the president of the NRA
-ENERGY TAX: wrote a bill (co-sponsored by his buddy Lieberman) imposing a massive tax on energy which, according to the Department of Energy, would drastically raise the price of gasoline and put 300,000 Americans out of work
-GLOBAL WARMING: supports radical global warming legislation which involved him voting with every Democrat; think only America is responsible to take action, not other superpowers
-JUDGES: he joined forces with Democrats (Gang of 14) to block the Senate Republican’s attempt to confirm conservative, strict constructionist judges
-WAR ON TERROR: fought with Hillary Clinton to demand that terrorists be given a full American trial
-GAY MARRIAGE: he joined liberals to fight against a federal marriage amendment supporting the institution of traditional marriage
-CHRISTIANS: campaigning in 2000, he famously described Christian leaders as “agents of intolerance”
-PRO-LIFE: he filed an amicus brief against pro-life advocates in Wisconsin
-BI-PARTISANSHIP: he met with leading Democrats in 2004 to discuss the possibility of being John Kerry’s Vice-President
-PROFESSIONAL ETHICS: ringleader of the infamous Keating 5 ethical scandal which cost US tax payers $160 billion (Google it)
-PERSONAL ETHICS: McCain cheated on his first wife after she had a severe accident that left her partially disabled. He then divorced her and married his multi-millionaire mistress, whose daddy bought McCain a spot in the Congress

Mitt Romney has my vote and the vote of all my friends.

Fellow Republicans…..we have to unite to stop McCain. He is not a true republican. If we do not unite and stop this man from become the nomine then we will lose the soul of the true Republican Party. The only person who has a legitimate chance of beating McCain is Mitt Romney. Like him or not, it’s the truth. Huckabee supporters, band together with the rest of us who are true conservatives of the Republican Party to stop this imposter McCain! Look at the facts, Mitt Romney is our onl
