I haven't seem Romney do anything that would lead be to believe you sinister scenario. He is am ambitious man, but he is also a man of integrity.
Doubt if McCain will miss your vote. |
|
he is ruthlessly ambitious and is perched in a political tree looking down like a vulture at the elderly Mccain...just waiting too assume the presidency if McCain dies in office.
What a ghoulish fiend!
Mitt the Buzzard is too liberal for america; his compulsory health care plan is un-american,
and He has switched positions several times, just like hus fellow masachusttes liberal, John Kerry
I'll vote libertarian if Mitt the Buzzard is the VP choice. |
|
for yoo'...
Vote for what you can do for your country!
I was not allowed to do this in Massachusetts.

|
|
I'm not choosing a religous leader. I don't really care what you do in the privacy of your own church - right now we need a leader that understands the economy.
By the way, the site is up now - http://www.mittforveep.com and I'm getting a t-shirt to wear at McCain's next appearance in my area to show my support. |
|
What is my religion? Im a Christian.
Now as to what flavor? Ah, there is the rub. That is why i need a recent "approved religion list". Seems like if your not sanctioned, you get a lot of grief around here.
It's sad that someone is reluctant to speak freely of their religion. Thanks Evangelicals for creating such a tolerant atmosphere. Im sure our forefathers would be proud. |
|
You write: "Which has got me thinking. Im in a bit of a fix here. Im not sure if my religion is on the Huck/evangelical approved list. Is there someplace I can go to find out?"
It's not. We already looked it up a long time ago.
What is your religion, by the way? |
|
On the one hand, I hate to see someone with Mitt Romney's leadership and executive acumen playing second fiddle. On the other hand, a Romney pick would prove McCain has class and can put his personal preferences aside to do what's best for the country. Romney is ready now to step into the top should anything happen to McCain and that is what is most important. Some would say it not only is important but should be the only consideration.
When Romney announced support for McCain it showed Romney had class and could put aside his personal feelings for the good of the party, the good of the country. Now McCain has a chance to show us that he has what it takes to do the same thing. |
|
|
I KNOW were not wrong! I wish I had Elder McConkie's testimoney, but I'm working on it. One bit at a time. I just get tired of folks who feel it's their 'calling' to tell ME what I believe, feel, and know. |
|
Your religion is not wrong, just incomplete. I don't believe that it will keep you out of Heaven, though. All must be educated. You have already accepted Christ and that is the most important thing. The rest is just like a signature on the deal.
Queenmum, We are not wrong! Nothing else makes sense. I don't have Mckonkie's testimony yet, maybe some day. |
|
no true conservative would agree to such a spot.
So does that mean Mitt is not conservative?
Mitt would be a good VP choice. Personally I suspect Pawlenty followed by Sanford. But McCain will pick a reasonably solid conservative guy who is stronger on fighting illegal immigration, but not so conservative as to lose the independents.
And Queenmumofseven, don't let some of these guys bother you about your faith. |
|
|
You're going to need to check in with the ET. (evangelical Taliban.) Not sure if they have a number or not, but a lot of them show up here regularly. |
|
Stoped by to see whats up. And to my suprise its religion again. Hucks supporters say their dislike for Romney or their like for Huck has nothing to do with religion. Ahh Yep.
Which has got me thinking. Im in a bit of a fix here. Im not sure if my religion is on the Huck/evangelical approved list. Is there someplace I can go to find out? |
|
|
Well said. I don't doubt Eddie is a christian, however, he has no right to tell me that I am not. I'm quite sure that someday in the very near future, it will all be clear. Either we were terribly wrong (doubt it), or we were right. Personally, I'd rather have a faith in a living prophet how holds all the keys, than to flit from pastor to pastor, trying to find one I like. |
|
you may not say that I am not a Christian, but you do say that my Christian beliefs, and those of another 1.5 billion Christians are wrong. |
|
Your words,
"They are attacking traditional Christianity in an attempt to build their church up."
The elders do not attack any other church nor do I. Our church does not need anyone to build it up. It can stand on it's own.
We believe that our Savior is Eternal, his body was created. I am assuming that is what you mean when you say we believe Jesus is a creature.
Eddie, I would NEVER say you are not a Christian. We have a difference of opinion. We both love the Lord and count on His Grace for our salvation.
Surely you can read the Holy Bible and see my position regarding the nature of God. My position can be supported very well. It is the Council of Nicaea that LDS folks don't believe in. We count on personal revelation as given to the Prophet Joseph Smith who actually SAW God the Father and Jesus standing at His right hand as it states many times in the Holy Bible.
|
|
I hope you are right about Huck's good intentions from here on out, but a few things bother me - he knew he was going to offend Mormons - a key group in the GOP, and he didn't really care. His apology seemed insincere. SO what if it was what he believed about Mormons, it wasn't the time or place. There is NO excuse for what he did.
I know you don't agree with many of the things I post about Huckabee. I just think that we haven't seen the last of him, or his kind of tactics. I don't want him to get any traction again. He's not a good fit for the conservative movement and he plays indentity politics which are divisive and beneath our party. The GOP can do without him. |
|
I don't claim to know Huck's heart but my thinking is he believes the negative things he's been taught (and taught himself in SLC) about the LDS church being an enemy to good Christians.
So, from that point of view, it made perfect sense for him to raise the red herring question of the spirit family connection of all God's children, including the pre mortal family connection between Christ and Lucifer. Saying they were spirit brothers is a rough approximation but not an accurate presentation of the LDS view of life before we became mortals.
Yes, I conclude Huck very much knew what he was doing when he posed that rhetorical question to the press--which question he knew would make sensational headlines. But, if he honestly believed that the LDS belief in the pre mortal or spiritual life of all God's creations was incorrect, then he would want to expose what he considered heresy. (Doesn't make it an ethical thing for Huck to have done but it was a well-timed question since he was in a fierce battle to win votes away from Mitt.)
As I listen to Mitt when he's questioned about that part of the campaign, Mitt seems to have moved on and doesn't hold a grudge - calling it the nature of politics. I suggest we move on, too.
Huck did say he would support even Mitt as the VP candidate if Mitt is John's choice. Now, that's where I put my money on Huck - that he will be loyal to the party, and I understand he's now working for John's election. Remember the detail of forgiving enemies (real or perceived) and doing good to those who despitefully use us.
I have probably offended many of you and ask for your forgiveness. I'm working on cleansing the inner vessel - seems to take a lifetime. |

After the kids's chores were done and checked, we sat down for breakfast and scripture reading. Then, I put one on the preschool bus (he's special needs and goes to a special preschool), supervised the kid who loads the dishwasher, tossed in a load of laundry and got the others off to the other two school bus stops. Then, I went to walmart with my youngun. Did a tad bit of grocery shopping, came home, put it away and came on line for a few ticks. Emptied the dishwasher, and swept the floors. Now it's noonish. my kindergartner will be home in a minutes, I'll fix his lunch and my youngest and put her down for a nap while I work with my kindergarten kid on his site words. In about 45 minutes, his preschool brother comes home. I'll feed him a snack, as he eats lunch at school. Read to him for a few and then send them out back to play. I'll check my e-mail for more work, or questions about my work, check some blogs, then start dinner. I have a few jobs to do this afternoon, and will leave about 4 for my appointments. I'll be back at 5 or 5:30. when my husband gets home, we'll sit down for dinner. If I have reports that I need up tonight, I'll do those after dinner, while everyone is watching a video. Then, I get the kids organized with what they will wear in themorning, take care of folding some clothes so they will be in the baskets in the am for the kids to take care of. We have family prayer, brush teeth, read stories and go night night. While I am gone this afternoon, my kids will supervise themselves in gettig showers and homework done. next week, I have a big job out of state. My mom will be staying here during the day. Yes, I am raising responsible and independent kids.
It's called "organization".
So, how was your day? |
|
Since you asked, my kids, save the youngest who is right here reading a book at my knees, are in school for at least another 15 minutes. Secondly, I don't have maids, but my kids have chores. Before school, all beds are made, bathroom wiped down, dirty clothes put in baskets, clean clothes taken care of. Dishes are put in the dishwasher after breakfast. I run the dishwasher, do the laundry and work about 10 hours a week at my own business (which is mostly on line). I was up at 5am to write my reports from yesterday, and upload it to my clients. (I do consulting, but not for political parties or persons). Then, I cleaned our bedroom (husband leaves for work early), wiped down my bathroom, then woke up the kids. I came down to my office, checked homework, went on line for a few ticks, then emptied the dishwasher before breakfast.

I am probably wasting my keystrokes on you, but in the event there are other more open minds reading this, I will proceed.
LDS missionaries do not tear down other faiths. The message is a positive one - if you like it join us, if not that is a person's choice. The message does not target other churches - there are no lessons as to what is specifically wrong with Catholics, Baptists, or any other faith's teachings. We say bring all that was good in true your old faith, and see if we can add to it. Yes, we do believe that the Priesthood authority given by Jesus to the apostles was lost from the earth as they were killed off before others could be called, and that a restoration of that Priesthood was required. We also believe that there are many good people of all Christian faiths who we rejoice with knowing of the amazing grace Jesus made possible for us to partake of. To be a Christian is to be a follower of Christ - and no one church has a monopoly on that. |
|
Maybe I understand a little why you are upset with LDS doctrine and with what you understand to be LDS's attitude towards other Christians such as yourself.
Shift to third-person comments:
I get a little lost in the vocabulary issues of a created God versus a non-created deity so have never made any comments to Eddie's posts as he writes in defense of his teachings. I sense his strong defense is based on his devotion to God and I write to offer respect of his deep love and honor of God.
And I've been thinking about his posts re the LDS belief that the Savior's church has been returned or restored through Joseph Smith - with the same organization and priesthood keys as held by Peter, James, and John, etc. Yes, this is a bold doctrine but not one meant to say in any way, shape, or form that other Christian churches are bad by inference because there has been a gradual apostasy and then the wonderful Reformation and now a Restoration. It is all good. Each devoted Christian past or present has loved the Savior and tried to walk in His footsteps.
The motivation to invite a friend or family member to take the LDS missionary lessons is not a desire to compete with other churches but a desire to share the glorious news that the Savior is returning and that He has re established His church again - just as was prophesied by Daniel, John the Revelator and other Old and New Testament prophets. That's all.
|
|
|
A perfect example of the delusional Huck followers. |
|
|
|
|
that at least two posters on this blog and other pro-Romney blogs are employed directly by Romney, because if they had another job they would never have time to do all their pro-Romney postings. And I must conclude that a mother of eight must have terribly independent children or several maids to be able to spend every waking hour on the blogs. I can not - toodle-loo. |
|
to clarify a little, the LDS teach that Jesus is a creature, albeit a special creature. Therefore, when the LDS worship Christ they are worshipping a creature according to their own beliefs. |
|
why do the LDS worship a creature? I believe only almighty God, the Creator of all things shoud be worshipped. I myself would never give to a Creature the worship that belongs only to the Creator. |
|
the LDS is the one defining who is a true Christian. The LDS is the one who is saying all of the traditional (or as some say creedal) Christian denominations are apostates to the Church founded by Jesus Christ. I have not called the LDS or anyone else an apostate Church.
Separated brethren maybe, but not apostates. |
|
Why Eddie has the right to define who is a true Christian, and who is not?
I'm glad I'm not making that call! All I know is that I am one. that's what is important to ME. Idon't care what chuch you go to on Sunday. Just respect that we go and worship Christ too. |
|
ones being called apostates to Christ, it would make more sense if they took offense at these accusations by the LDS, than the LDS taking offense at having their teachings exposed to the light. |
|
thank you for acknowledging the LDS teaching on Christian apostasy. This is also the message that the young LDS preach when they go door to door. They are attacking traditional Christianity in an attempt to build their church up. Why do many LDS take offense that traditional Christians want this position of the LDS to be known far and wide? This is the foundation of the LDS as laid out by Joseph Smith. |
|
what makes PC and Qweenie experts on electoral politics. They baldly assert what the outcome of the November elections will be based on whether or not McCain picks Romney or Huckabee for president. Unless they can read the future, these are the assertions of people who have demonstrated clearly and often their limited worldview. |
|
you are the only one who does not understand what I said. No amount of explaining has ever led you to understand anything said by anyone who disagrees with you.
You have never, on TH blogs acknowldeged that you might be wrong and someone else might be right. |
|
we will not deny that our church contains the fullness of the gospel. I don't think that is so surprising. EVERYONE believes they are in the right place, otherwise why be there. All religions contain a portion of the truth. Only one has all the keys of the kingdom as given by the Savior to the apostles.
That could be the Catholic church unless an apostasy occurred. Then a complete restoration needed to take place. Reformation wouldn't do,as how do you take a living branch from a dead tree? |
|
the way to salvation leads through Joseph Smith? |
|
the Church fell away from Christ's teachings around 150 AD to know what the LDS teach. |
|
why cannot you deny that the LDS teaches that all other Christian denominations are apostates of the true Christian faith? Is it because that is exactly what the LDS teaches?
Is the reason your only response to these questions is to call the questioners bigots or to lie about their characters is that you cannot deny the statements? |
|
How can telling the truth about the LDS be considered tearing them down?
If I am lying, it should be easy for you to point the lies out to others. Since, you cannot point out my lies than obviously I am telling the truth about the LDS and you just do not want people to know the truth about the LDS. |
|
Where is wise woman when we need her.
I am a big Romney fan, but can look at any other former candidates and try see the good. Mike Huckabee seems to be a decent guy. He is likable enough. I don't think he will ever be president because his appeal is not far reaching enough, but he loves God and more importantly, God loves him.
GOD also loves each person who has written here and hopes they would try to live the gospel they profess to follow. In the things that matter, we ARE on the same page.
We want someone who is pro God, pro family and pro country.
No one is going to change another's mind on candidates.
|
|
the truth only tears down falsities and false religions.
Perhaps you can go into your vivid imagination and deny that the LDS teaches that they are the only true form of Christianity. Then you can deny that the LDS' claim that all other Christian denominations became apostate within 200 years of the Resurrection of our Lord.
In fact, I am surprised that you have not denied these assertions since your acquaintance with the truth can only be described as "fleeting" at your best.
False accusations are the "coin of your realm" and most people who read TH blogs know this.
As Jack Nicholson's character in the movie said, "The truth, you can't handle the truth". Heck, in your case you can't even recognize or state the truth. |
|
Does he still think child/adult sex is not evil? He is defending the FLDS folks in the practice of their "religion", but on TH daily tearing down the LDS church. Who believes he has any credibility?
If I were him, I would explain my previous remarks about adult sex with 12 year olds. |
|
I've seen many posts on TH by Huck followers who think Romney is still controling Bain, which is buying Clear Channel, who is controling what talkers say. Huck made the accusation because he can't otherwise explain why no talkers like him. It must be a conspiracy!
Jill, where was the receiver for Romney? Did you see anything in his ears, or on him? You have made yourself ridiculous with this one. No rational person believes Romney was coached. LOL |
|
but they call all other Christian denominations apostates of the true Christian faith.
If you like being called an apostate, than the LDS deserves your support in its attempts to eliminate non-LDS denominations. |
|
|
It's a funny one, and one that McCain will never put out because he knows it's loser team up. The west, north and east is very important to carry in a presidential race. He'll lose all three with Huck. Well know fact. Polling plays it out. You don't have to love Romney to vote for him. In fact, I would perfer you did not. Then, when things go great, you won't have the right to beam with pride that you voted for the BB Team, or the McCain/Romney team. |
|
Huck is a loser with the L tatooed on his forehead. McCain won't pick huck, as McCain wants to actually
WIN. With huck, he wins Arkansas. Without him, he wins the rest of the nation. Take off the rose colored glasses. Your guy? very narrow box of voters. My guy? Pretty wide and deep. And it's not just LDS voting for our guy. Bush family. Rove wants him. Several govoners have approached McCain about Mitt. I'm more comfortable with a guy who understand the econ completly, than an guy who can't even balance his personal checkbook. (and is on the list as one of the 10 most corrupt gov, where most of the other 9 are Democrates.)
I tell you my 'personal finances' because it's important for you to know that I may not be in the same tax bracket as Mitt, but we both pay the same percentage in tithing and we both live within our means. Try it. You'll like it. You might even become republican. |
|
Bravo Qweenmumof7! You got all your finances going in the right direction. I would not bother to even comment on it but only because you told me "That it would be wise for me to do the same"..... I never even discussed my personal financial situation with you, nor do I intend to. In fact, I am a very prudent individual and never, never buy what I cannot afford....... So there !
PC .... You need to get your tag-team helper Hector (unless that is the blind leading the blind) as you are losing it on your conspiracy theories concerning Huckabee. Nobody believes that garbage! I do not even think that Hector would be proud of your performance today. It does not help your candidate out, one bit ! |
|
|
You and I and most of the posters on TH know that it all stems from Jelousy. It is truly funny to read some of this stuff. some (Sarah, Synth, ProfessorX, Eddie) I've grown to love as I skip by their postings. They cry: "mitt is rich", but fail to point out that he made every penny, and did not take a salary while govenor or even as head of the SLC olympics. He has said as president, he would not take a salary, and as veep, I doubt he will either. I have heard many times over how huck sometimes has problems making his mortgage. Well, I would call that financial mismanagement. He's either living in a home he can't afford, or needs to make more money. He's about the same age as I am, and I don't understand why he is struggling to make a payment. Oh yea. Real job thing. Never mind. This all stems from jelousy. Period. They say Mitt is 'stiff' and unapproachable. I had no problem shaking the mans hand once. I found Huck to be disingenous and aloof when I met him. Mitt looked me in the eye. Huck did not. And even if Mitt were not LDS, I would vote for him. But then, had he not been LDS, he'd be the nominee, and huck would never have been. |
|
Maybe she's in the wrong party, I don't know. America is full of whiners who think the government should solve all their problems. It's not the job of a president to solve your problems, Jill. You live in the greatest country on earth with more opportunity to prosper than has ever been available in the history of the world.
I've taken my lumps, lost a house due to a business failure, been dirt poor, moved on and prospered again. Never asked for one thing from the government. I don't need Huck to feel my pain! I need government to get off my back and the backs of business, so that we can really be free. That's what Romney has to offer, real world economic experience and the intelligence and drive to change the status quo in Washington.
And for your info, Romney made a huge fortune before he ever moved his family into a "bigger" house. They still live in it, and it is modest in comparison to what they could afford. The Romney's are not your typical wealthy family - they are well-grounded in down to earth priorities. |
|
|
Your right, most americans do have a mortgage. Mitt used to have one too. He's just paid it off. I'm moderate income, but my husband and I work hard to pay extra, so we can pay off our home soon. We follow the counsel of not having any debt. Romney follows the same example. Perhaps it would be wise if you followed the same. We purchased our home 2 years ago. We did not buy more home than we could comfortably afford, and every extra penny goes into the principal to pay it off. We have no car payments, no credit cards. I'm quite confident that Mitt has started out in the place I did. In college, he had a small apartment for him and his family. As he got more successful in his job, he moved up. I don't care if someone is successful. I do think Romney identify's with me. much better than a man who has to beg for money on TV. |
|
I'm willing to bet that you also believe the Clear Channel/Bain Capital/Romney conspiracy that says Rush and all of talk radio were forced into supporting Romney, but really know he's a L I B E R A L ! The "big business, establishment" thing, you know. LOL
Yep, Huck started that one and his followers are in lock step.
Got news for you, Jill, Huck cares more about money than Romney does! Yep. He is a money grubber and always has been. What do you think all those ethics violations were about? M O N E Y, and Huck obtaining it unethically. Same thing with his televangelizing.
Romney earned every penny of his mega millions because he worked hard and is a very intelligent man. His simultaneous Harvard business and law degrees( with honors) were not handed to him, but you probably also have a conspiracy for that, too. |
|
|
No, I do not believe the cover-up job by the Network on that one and if the shoe was on the other foot.... you would not as well. I heard it all live and Romney's hesitation and then quoting exactly what someone else said. Got news for you, Huck would not change his roots for a silver-spoon any day.... Most Americans have a mortgage to pay, so that leaves Romney out. He cannot identify with middle America. Everything was handed to Mitt. Huckabee's earthly struggles built character in him. We are tired of Presidents and leadership that cannot identify with the real problems and issues that most common folk deal with every day and year after year. .... Again, I think you all deserve each other. Birds of a feather flock together. |

To 'flipflop' one must have changed his mind more than one. Yes, mitt flipped. So did Huck. On MANY things more than Mitt. Reagan used to be pro choice, and he too 'flipped'. Your arugment is bogus, and based purly on the bias you have against someone as great and successful as Mitt. And yes, I truly believe That Mr. Huckabee is jelous of Mitt's success, family and his life story. Otherwise, why does he constantly have to say something about Mitt at every opportunity? At least Mitt has the class and grace to smile and move on. |
|
The whisper thing is so fun for you conspiracy nuts. Don't you bother to think or read? Did it occur to you that if you could hear the "whisper" that it would have been so loud in Romney's ear as to blast him off the stage?
Did you bother to learn the explanation for it? is from NBC:
"While the buzz over the incident was loud enough that Brian Williams, Russert’s co-moderator and anchor of “NBC Nightly News,” felt the need to weigh in, the grassy-knoll types will be disappointed. Romney’s innocent, the network said.
Domenico Montanaro, an NBC News political researcher, wrote on the network’s political blog, First Read: “After reviewing the tapes, NBC determined that an open mic[rophone] picked up a whisper from the audience.
“It is unclear who it is that says it, but it was not said by any of the candidates, was not heard in the hall and, more importantly, not heard by the candidates.”
Huckabee fans have a little trouble sorting fact from fiction and Jill has proven it here today. To her, Huckabee is a man of integrity! Never mind the lies, the ethics violations or that he's on the top 10 list of corrupt politicians. Never let the truth get in the way of a good fantasy, Jill!
Yep, Romney is jealous of Huck, sure that one makes a lot of sense. Romney wishes he was on that list and that he had trouble paying his mortgage . . . .
|
|
Those Romney-ites can't handle the truth. I still haven't forgotten that debate where there was that secret "Whisperer" that had to prompt Romney with the correct answer in one of those questions. Oh, the media shut that one up in a hurry..... Honestly, I think that Mitt is jealous of Mike. For just one reason, Mike is the best debater you will find anywhere and everyone knows it. Also, he doesn't ever have to worry about getting tripped up in a lie as he is a man of integrity and truth unlike someone I know.
Gotta go now ..... be back later |

I read somewhere that this is how they are referring to a possible McCain/Romney ticket.
I like it.
I mean this ticket woould drip with "gravitas" compared to Clinton or (Mr Never Done Anything) Obama. |
|
Hi, Everyone
Please check this website: unitethegop.com
|
|
They are best buds! They can do a one-two punch and con more little old ladies out of their social security.
Huck is good at that sort of thing. He loves registering for "wedding" gifts and things like that. Anything to help pay his mortgage. |
|
|
From all the accounts I've heard of Mitt Romney as a person, I would much rather have an even-tempered, very accomplished person with a great family helping to lead our country than someone like Mike Huckabee. People say that Mitt isn't sincere but I agree with a commenter above who mentioned how much Huck likes cameras. I've heard he needs to make some money...maybe he should just go back to Arkansas and become a televangelist. |
|
No more Mitt.
He had his 15 minutes of fame and his hair could not handle it. Time to move on Mitt! |
|
I have about had my fill of 'southern leaders'. Carter, Clinton(s), Byrd, Duke, Landreau, Johnson, Jefferson, just to name a few.
Regan? He was a westerner.
I will also mention that Mitt won popular vote in West Va, but backroom and quite un-ethical deal between Huck and McCain, sent McCain's delegates over to Huck. So, that proves to me that Mitt CAN and WILL win the south. It's time you folks over there in the 'bible belt' learned tht we've most of the country and population over here, left of the mississippi river. And you all don't corner the market on Christianity, either. |
|
I would like to point out to you that there is about 300 million people in the USA. Talking to 2000 people seem a little thin, don't you think? Id like to point out to you that even after Mitt left the race, McCain still creamed Huck. Now we all know McCain is no conservative. So the conservatives certainly have no use for Huck. Independents? No. None were impressed by Huck either. Crossover dems? No evidence of that either.
No matter how you slice it or dice it, Huck is a one trick pony. He drew in Bible belt evangelicals only. We need much more than that and Huck just can't deliver. In the North, West and East, Huck is a major liability to a national ticket. We need to win this election. There is so much at stake here. |
|
|
The evangalical taliban is out in force tonight! Must be nice to be the only christians on the face of the earth. That's a gig I can do without, too much of a burden making sure who's christian and who s not. |
|
And to some of the rest of you ......Whether Huck can pull in the conservatives is a mute point.... he did win those Evangelical conservative states and always showed very strong in areas of certain states that were predominately conservative. I have viewed the comments of literally thousands of Huckabee supporters over the last 4 months. They include many Democrats who thought that they would never vote for a Republican. They do not like Obama or Hillary and want to go with Huckabee. I have also heard from Independents that want to go with Huckabee. I have not only viewed their comments for the last 4 months but I have talked to at least 2,000 of them on the phone. The percentages are very high and promising. I can tell you one thing that they will not vote for a ticket that has Romney & company attached to it and that includes Hannity, Laura, Rush, etc. I understand it is all about Bain Capitol and Clear Channel ( In other words ALL about MONEY and Romney's association with that ) Everyone looking out for their pocket-book at any cost ! What's new ?
Nighty-Night now ! |

last year there was a disaster in the San Diego area. Without camera's etc, Mitt went out with his son (who lives there) and helped clear trees. Physical labor. No camera's, no fan fare. I've heard story after story of the Romney's helping out, quietly. Somethings are best kept personal. I don't make a big deal out of those I've personally helped, when I am able to. And, I am grateful with someone like the Romneys' step up and quietly help me.
Service is best done out of camera's range. Huck goes places others won't? That's a huge laugh. Typical TV preacher. If there's a camera within range, he'll be tearing up for it. |
|
|
I look forward to a McCain/Romney. Mitt should really be at the top of the ticket. But I'd be thrilled to take him in the second slot. In fact, it's one of the few things that would make voting for McCain palatable. |

I don't give a creek nickel what Bay WIndows says. If you know state law, you would know that a governor cannot change the status of marriage. The Supreme Court of Massachusetts was shopped by liberal activists. |

How often do you read these gay mags? do your buddies know this? Be carefull they don't find out.

Yep, I'm sure the man who was a main speaker at an anti-Mormon convention was sincerely looking for info from a NYT reporter about Mormon Doctrine.
Huck's intent was to divide and the attack was well-placed. He didn't need to pursue it because he got the response he wanted. You think Huck is innocent, just like you must believe he's conservative. He's neither.
Since Huckabee has no shot at VP, we don't have to ask whether or not we could support McCain/Huckabee. But I'm curious, why do you think Rove says Huck would double McCain's troubles? Do you think it has anything to do with his record or character? Or his foreign policy blunders?
I'd really like to know why Huck's supporters think people like Rove, Rush, Levin, Ingraham, Larson, Hannity and others are unanimous in their distaste for Huck. |

Huck supporters keep saying that Huck will bring in conservatives. What? All the evidence points away from this. Even when Mitt left the race, Huck still got clobbered by McCain, who we all agree isnt much of a conservitive.
Independents? Crossover Dems? Where? Everywhere he ran he never got any independents or any suggestion of crossover dems.
Hickabee gets only one narrow demographic. Evangelicals only. Period. Now they are important to winning and should not be discounted but they hardly make up enough to justify his obvious detriments.
Romney on the other hand has a much broader appeal and will help in a much broader national election. |
|
There are a few reasons not to believe that Huckabee didn't already know.
1. He spoke at a convention held in Salt Lake City where a lot of anti-Mormon things were said.
2. The guy went to a seminary. He was a preacher...My little sister knows that protestants don't use prayer ropes. So for some reason I find it hard to believe he didn't already know that theological point of Mormons.
It's pretty safe to conclude that he used that opportunity to scare Christian voters away from Romney.
|
|
|
I noticed that McCain was in Alabama talking with low income and middle class voters today - he wants to visit the places forgotten and the silent, forgotten people. I don't think Romney's well-couffed locks would impress anyone there. McCain doesn't want him cutting up his skinned KFC bird in front of those folks. No, Romney just doesn't work in middle America, and that is what this election is all about. |
|
|
I did not want to get into religion but since you brought it up ...... Mike Huckabee never attacked Mitt's religion ..... he only asked a question because that was his understanding and he wanted to know for sure. I believe the question was "Do the Mormons believe that Jesus and the Devil are brothers?" If the answer is NO, then why would one get offended ? Just say "NO" and move on. Mike did not pursue it after that and actually came out and apologized later if he had offended him in any way..... That is more than I can say for your candidate. Did he ever apologize for the negative ads and how he portrayed Huckabee in an untruthful way? I'll bet Mike Huckabee would vote for a McCain/Romney ticket IF that happened to be the case.... and may I ask the same of you and your leader if it was a McCain/Huckabee ticket ? ..... I am sorry but I see Huckabee as one HUGE asset to the ticket and the only one that is going to beat the DEMO's. I do not see that for Romney ... As I said before, Huckabee pulls in the majority of the conservatives and also many cross-over democrats as well as independents. His supporters are faithful and they are many, many in number. You may as well, get on the winning team here because a Mitt will only sink John's boat..... then you can say "Hello Obama" |

This is from your last post "PC, quit trying to play the "anti-Mormon bigotry card." It's getting old"

LOL Action you cant be for real. Are you that blind? Your last quote sure sounded bigoted to me. |
|
1. Romney was attacked by the MA Dem party for being pro-life. While he campaigned as someone who would not try to change the status quo of abortion while in office, he was pro-life.
2. While in office Romney vetoed bills that wanted to use human embryos for research. He encouraged girls NOT to have abortions, much to the chagrin of all the Massachussetts liberals.
3. Romney had no say over gay marriage. But he DID support a bill in congress that defined marriage as between a man and a woman. |

PC, quit trying to play the "anti-Mormon bigotry card." It's getting old.
Here are the facts about Romney that Kool Aid drinking Romniacs like you have yet to refute. Facts are stubborn things PC. But they must be dealt with and in your many months attempting to defend the Mitt Bot's actual Far Left Wing Record, you have failed miserably. No matter how much you claim he's the bestest darn guy out there, his actual record says he's the least qualified, least honest, least trusted, and most left wing.
One more time ladies:
If McCain wants to win he shouldn't choose a running mate who is to the left of him.
Romney is not a conservative.
Romney is to the left of McCain.
McCain didn't illegally institute same sex "marriage." Romney did.
McCain didn't establish $50 co pay abortions as a "healthcare benefit" as part of his socialist healthcare plan that was endorsed by Hillary, Teddy K, and Planned Parenthood. The Zombie did.
McCain didn't support homosexual scout masters. Romney DOES!
McCain didn't order Catholic Charities to give children to homosexuals or go out of business even though they were not legally obligated to do so. Romnmey did.
McCain didn't order Catholic hospitals to issue the abortion pill even though he was under no legal obligation to do so. Romney did.
Romney opposed the Bush Tax Cuts, favored McCain's Amnesty bill and McCain-Fenigold.
Romney also bragged about having some of the strictist gun control laws in the nation when he was governor.

Who died and left you in charge of Christianity? Don't you think its a little arrogant of you. To speak for Jesus? To deciede who belives and who doesn't?
That is why Huck has absolutly no support outside the bible belt. People are afraid of this kind of mentality. You people scare away millions of people that would vote rebublican.
Please do us a favor. When you go out in public, Please dont tell anyone you are a republican. You will just be scaring away more needed votes.

I will tell you a few things about Jesus.
He is the son of God the Eternal Father, not the Holy Ghost.
He stands on the right hand of His Father, not the right hand of himself.
When He prays , He is praying to His Father, He is not praying to Himself.
When Jesus prays to His Father that we may be one in them(John 17:21), He means one IN PURPOSE. Just like He is one in purpose with His Father.
LDS believe in the Jesus of the Holy Bible.
No water, vapor and ice of Nicaea for us.

...you're right about one thing. If Mitt is on the ticket, Mike will be too much of a baby to vote.
If Huckabee is on the ticket, you can count on the DemoBrats winning, because no Mormon in his or her right mind would for a ticket that included a man who attacked their religion, promoted himself exclusively as a "Christian leader," rather than a man for whom all faiths in America were a good thing.
For the record, I am not LDS. I am an Orthodox Christian, from the Byzantine tradition. (Sister church of the Catholics). |
|
If you're going to try to extrapolate that Mitt Romney's religion is dangerous in the White House, I'll just ask you into the history room to look at folks like Jefferson, Lincoln, and Taft...none of whom were explicitly Christian. But they still respected the office of the President.
What makes you think Romney would be any different? |
|
|
I think your candidate got out of the race as he saw that he had a formidable opponent in the South that was going to clean Mitt's can. Mike never sits on his as you said. Apparently you are out of the loop on the busyness of this man. He has been speaking to several college campuses just last week and writing a book just for starters. Mitt dropped out because he knew he wasn't winning and he didn't want anyone to know just how bad his clock was going to get cleaned. (Huck was already proving that to him) He was trying to play that "Mr. nice guy image" with hair and teeth all in place, saying. "Here I am John McCain.. the one that really is supporting you here, vp, vp, vp ! Oh please, vp!" John McCain can forget winning the election if he was to choose your candidate. Huckabee's will not vote for sure if Mitt is on the ticket and you can take that to the bank! I have heard all of the opinions for the last 4 months. |

Just following your logic.
You say Mitt should stay in Wall Street because that is what he does best.
Then Huck should stay in televanglism because that is what he did best. |
|
|
When it comes to the LDS church and the Black Liberation Theology - you might want to begin the conversation at this point. Who is Jesus? These two religions have a different Jesus than the one other religions have......so if you need forgiveness, shouldnt you know from whom? Either way, McCain is too smart to pick Mitt. The two of them look so fake and forced as a team it's laughable. It's like fraser, Niles and their dad - only this is not a comedy, it's the POTUS. |

"Romney understands the economy and what business needs to succeed". Americans need a good economist working in wall street. Mitt is so good at it, that he should just keep his day job as a patriotic gesture. How is that for a case against Mitt becoming VP. Actually, the man just can't translate his economic success into political success. He does wall street better than main street. Please let Mitt stay where he is most successful and most needed at this time in history - wall street. Say No to Mitt for VP. |

Do you think God is activley supporting Huck. And is God against Romney? Will we go to Hell if we support Romney?.
Is it your duty to God to support Huck? Do you think we will be forgiven if we Mitt supporters repent?
Just curious. |

This ticket would make more sense than asking Mitt to become VP. At least with Hillary as VP to McCain, they can neutralize Obama's "uniting" message while taunting experience. They can keep the military vote, seniors vote, hispanic vote, the south, west and NY. The women, and whitemen. And they can really annoy the McCain haters who are now taunting Mitt for VP. Rush and all other ego driven paid mouth pieces would finally be confused because they would not know whether to attack Obama (the obvious looser) or McCain/Hillary the all left-center, center-right ticket that incorporates 60% of the party. Plus when McCain is done in 4-8 years, the democrats can get Clinton to run again, and become the head of the ticket with Obama as VP. This would make Hillary's legacy and place in history - even more historic. |
|
|
I expect the mittbotts to continue with their quest for LDS to control some part of the executive branch, if not the presidency then the VP. However, this year any Ivy League educated person should not be allowed near the executive branch. We need an every day american running the executive branch and a VP who can be president on short notice. A person who can CONNECT with voters without padding their resume by making up stories about being a life long hunter, his parents marching with MLK and an NRA endorsement. A person whose religion does not raise questions, and a person whose record shows CONSISTENCY on some level. McCain's record may annoy some people, but he has been solid on national defense. On what issue has Romney been consistent? NONE! |
|
|
Figurativey speaking, Mitt will do or say anything to become president and if McCain is stupid enough to pick him for VP, then he should watch his back 24/7 incase Mitt takes him out (figuratively speaking), so that he can fulfill his wish to be president. This would happen after the inauguration. Mitt is a LOSER AS A CANDIDATE, BUT HE IS GOOD AS AN ECONOMIST. Please urge Mitt to keep his day job, he is so much better at it than trying to buy authenticity because for the life of him the man can't make a convincing closing argument to voters. Never mind his record and religion - YIKES! |
|
Someone voted for Romney in the primary and then ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE HIM!!! Oh my Lord. It's now a SIN to vote for Romney. You people have gone insane..LOL
Dont you see how weird you all appear. You ain't helping Huck with this. But go ahead. Be my guest. |
|
Apparently Romney. He's with McCain and Huck isn't. Guess all that backside smooching didn't do much for him. :)
Yeah, Weyrich pretty much destroyed his good reputation aligning himself with the petition's bigot brigade. He had his name taken off, btw. Huck certainly was involved. Did you notice the plausible deniability in his statement? He said he "had nothing to do with the content or the placement of the ad". And he was emailed beforehand. What a dork. A decent person who wants to unite the party would have urged the group to stop. This has Huck's MO all over it. "What, who me? oops, sorry!" |
|
Who did you say was working for the good of the Republican Party? Romney who starts as site to promote who: HIMSELF, or Huckabee who starts a website: HuckPac to promote Republican candidates?
By the way, Mike Huckabee had nothing to do with the NoMitt for VP ad. He can't help it if the people who did run it like him. By the way, one guy, Weyrich, supported Romney during the Primary but repented up and asked God to forgive him for not supporting Huckabee during the primary when he should have.
|
|
Did anybody notice that our humble Mitt Romney who went out with McCain to fundraise, had big time donors who only would give $15 million dollars if Romney was the VP? What do you call that if it's not trying to buy the VP position?
What kind of financial wizard like Romney is supposed to be spends $40 million dollars of his own money against Huckabee who spent $15 million all together (without debt)and still loses all the southern states? By the way, other than Florida Romney was 3RD in the Southern states. Which person, Romney or Huckabee, used their money wisely? NOT ROMNEY!!!

Romney gets crticized for "running for VP" when he is just doing what they should all be doing. Why is Romney the only one out there? I thought Thompson and McCain were friends. |
|
Certainly their right if they want to be that stupid was what he was thinking. He's relying on Romney a lot. I think if he were afraid of the bigot brigade he wouldn't be asking him to do anything.
McCain obviously knows the south is not a worry, but that he could easily lose the west with Huck as veep. |
|
PC:
Here's what he said and a link to the page:
“But McCain did chime in on the anti-Romney4VP advertising campaign launched by some former Huckabee supporters, joking that he could “save them some money if they’d just e-mail me. But if they want to make that statement through a paid political advertisement, that’s certainly their right.”

Go look up the stats on Politico.com, they are there for anyone to see.
If Romney had stayed in, he would still have taken more than Huckabee. The only reason Huckabee was getting a larger margin was because Romney dropped out. That's obivous to anyone.
I'm going to have a great Christmas. McCain will win. Obamessiah is the best thing to have happened to Republicans. He's almost as loaded as Hillary with skeletons.
I'm counting on a few things: 1) the so-called "young" vote gets drunk on election night and don't turn out for Obama. 2) McCain draws so many Reagan Dems/Independents/and Democrats from the present Hillary/Barack spat that it puts him over the target. |

I don't call several hundred delegate votes a close second. Certainly, Huckabee stayed in the race a few days longer than Romney, and he did come in second to McCain; however, who knows how things would have ended if Romney had stayed in the race a while longer. You simply cannot know how many votes McCain, Romney, or Huckabee would have received in that circumstance; you or I can imagine and say "if" or "but" BUT that won't change a thing. As Don Meredith, the famous Cowboy quarterback, used to say, "If "if's" and "but's" were nuts and candy, we'd all have a Merry Christmas." Unfortunately, it's not looking like a Merry Christmas right now for you or me. |

No one can credibly say Romney as VP would be bad for the economy. Give me a break. Bain Capital helped companies grow creating more jobs. Romney understands the economy and what business needs to succeed. Les regulation, less taxes and fair, free trade. He's got a track record of success in crisis management that no one on the scene can touch. |
|
Actually, it was more like a month and a half before Huck even came close to the count. even then, he tied it, because Mitt was out. Mitt still got the second most popular vote - even after a month longer.

would only bring more of the same - more jobs shipped overseas, more companies stripped and bankrupted by joint venturers, more erosion of our manufacturing base, and more depletion of our national security because corporations are dapling with Communist China and the Taliban. As it stands now, we don't have the domestic capacity to make sufficient war materials in a national emergency. Our economy is in the tank, and we simply cannot afford to have the status quo. |

Glad to see these efforts. Mitt is absolutely the best choice for the McCain/VP ticket. |

Yea, he carried a few southern states, and Mitt did come in second to most of those. But, in Fla, CA, and the entire west, Mitt carried the day in either first or second. Same with the North and Northeast. We don't matter. Hucks army is out there, true, but Romney's is bigger, better funded and has been active for quite some time. I have a hunch that John will be telling Huck to settle down and back off. Mitt's the guy. Frankly, it's about time that Huck got off his can and started doing something productive. then again, he does have the mortgage to make.... |

I guess that means that Romney didn't win a close second with McCain on the popular vote? That Huck had to stay in two weeks before he could catch up with Mitt's delegate count?

Have you heard any media interviews with Romney lately? He is doing an excellent job defending McCain's economic policies - a job Huck could never do because he doesn't have the depth or the experience. All Huck is good for is some folksy one-liners, not substance. I suggest you listen to the MSNBC interviews of Romney with Linda Douglass and another one with Joe Scarborough. It's hard to see anyone who's a better fit than Romney. And the conservative base would get pretty excited with Romney on board.
I think McCain is impressed, hsmith, because he's asking hin to do quite a lot of these interviews and appearances. And talk radio is impressed with Romney simply because it's hard not to be.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24204104/
One more thing - Romney is far from the status quo. He brings something no one else has - real world success in management and leadership. |
|
McCain for his bid to the White House, nor do I think McCain will be impressed by this overt bid for the office. There is no need for Romney or his supporters to go to this trouble, Fox and most "conservative talking heads" are already running free advertisements for Romney reguarly. Why? Romney's money and business influence. Americans will not go for more of the status quo.
Change is what this election is about, and Romney is an image of more of the same.
Romney has extremely high NEGATIVE ratings nationwide and would only be a drag on McCain. |

Apparently, the LGBT RNC and RSCC didn't get the message the first time after the Republican electorate resoundingly defeated the potential nomination of three LGBT Republican attorneys (Giuliani, Thompson, and Romney)for the 2008 Republican POTUS nomination. With 2 LGBT attorneys remaning in contention, the LGBT RNC and RSCC wish to give the presidency to the Democrats and assure the nomination of liberal judges to the federal appellate and the SCOTUS. Thank you, LGBT Republicans for undermining the sovereignty of the United States and the further promotion of borderline caretaker environments for children, regardless of gender, by neurotic legal and medical professionals. |

Never, never under-estimate Huck's Army. They will give their last dime to him. Because they believe in him .... and never waver. I personally know the strength of this Army. It is mighty! Mike won those conservative Southern states before Mitt ever dropped out. Also, I would hate to think that I had to buy my own ticket to victory .... no substance there!
On a lighter note: Mitt does have a good head of hair ... but I prefer Huck's dimples. |

I would rather have someone who tells me like it is and has a respectful, and different opinion, than someone who supperglues their lips onto my backside and is nothing more than a yes-man useful idiot. Yea, it sure looks like Mitt and John are at war! Shows who the true gentlemen in this race is!
And you can have Huck. He's ALL YOURS! We in the west don't want him. Double dog dare Huck to come to Utah to campaign for John. won't happen. He's campaiging in Arkansas with John. It's about time. Hopefully, little old ladies won't sell their precious wedding rings togive huck a few bucks they need to feed themselves. |
|
Wondering what John McCain will do with that $1.98 huck will raise for him?
And honestly? It's about time Huck went campainging in Arkanas with John. Mitt went out right away.

Guess what?...... Mike Huckabee and John McCain are together campaigning this week. Mike is working hard for John. They got along fabulous with no cross words between them when they were debating ..... unlike Romney. I bet you wonder what John and Mike are up to and what they are discussing this week ? .... Ha! Eat your heart out! |
|
Ha, ha. Just goes to show that Huck's followers are just as poor of losers as he is. Romney has a very good chance at VP for a many reasons. They been enumerated for weeks now. If he is it, will all the Mormon haters and Romney haters refuse to vote?
Doesn't matter, because McCain will win anyway, and Romney will be a great VP. Get over it, whiners. |
|
Now that is a funny image. Can you just envision it. Romney going, "Please John, pick me. I'll be a great VP. I did not mean all of those negative ads I financed about you. Please John, pick me. I promise, I will be a great VP.
I can change my record anytime and people will believe me, at least people who believe in Joseph Smith." |
|
Romney is also have their origins among LDS. Anyone seeing a pattern here? We can credit the LDS wh post here with consistency at least when it comes to misstating facts. |
|
have their origins among LDS. Does that say anything about Romney? The readers must be the judge of that. |

Such humility!.....lol, lol ....Do not get your hopes up folks. I can still hear John McCain in one of those debates admonishing Mitt...."You have spent millions on attack-ads attacking myself and Huckabee." That was when Mitt was trying to blame others for a negative campaign when he started it himself. I used to think Mitt was a pretty good guy ....but his colors came through loud and clear in his run for President. I can already hear him panting for that VP spot and it is loud! He knows that for any reason McCain should get ill, that ole Mitt will be right at the right place at the right time..... Then he can have a run for 2012 too !! .......Dream on folks! |

If Romney is the veep nom, very few will stay home. VERY FEW. The south won't be lost, as dire as some here make it out to be. However, Huckabee is so caustic, that McCain risks the entire western United States, along with the North and the East. Maybe it's time for the Evagalical taliban to do what we've been told out here in the west for years. Sit down, shut up and accept the nominees.
Carter, Clinton, Johnson. Southerners. Reagan. Western. |

Romney is toast. He is not even a conservative. The surest way for McCain to lose is to pick somebody he doesn't personally like who happens to be more radically left wing than McCain himself.
Can't the Zombie just go away along with his kooky Kool Aid Swilling Romniac Followers?
My God this is getting embarassing.
Romney is done. Quit shilling for him Matt. You are embarassing yourself. Starting to sound like Hewitt's former goon McCullough. |

When McCain got the nomination I entertained the idea of staying home, too - for a short time. And I believed there were legitimate reasons for doing so. But in the end, I got over it because the stakes are too high with the WOT, Iran, taxes, gloabl worming and the SC.
I just can't see handing over the troops to the left, and I won't be a part of it. |
|
|
Maybe I'll just stay home........ |
|
|
Those who will don't amount to a hill of beans and McCain can win without them. A brick will beat either Obama of Hillary. They are seriously flawed, don't represent the majority of American thought, and are being decimated my operation chaos. By Novemeber, the country will be running to the polls to vote for McCain. He's a breath of fresh air compared to those 2, even as horrible as he is. |
|
Yes, Romney is looking good, and contrary to the belief that VP's do nothing, Romney has already helped McCain by articulated his economic policies very effectively. He has a lot of offer if McCain puts him to work.
|
|
|
Not a conservative between them. A third of the party sits home. We're tired of being ignored. |
|
|
Try not to get drawn into eddie the pedafile, or anyone elses anti mitt's commemts. No matter what you say thaey wiil just keep posting them just stick to your guns on your beliefs. Mitt for VP!!!! |
|
Romney is doing what good losers do - go out and make sure the GOP wins. He's proving his creds, not that he needed to. And he's a great spokesperson for McCain in every interview I've seen. McCain owes him some thanks.
You've got to be kidding when you say Huck is not all about ego. LOL. He was making an absolute fool of himself in the process of "giving voters a choice".
None of the other candidates displayed the votriol against Romney, only Huck. But Romney never once returned anything but graciousness. That's the kind of man he is and the country noticed. He is on the very short list for VP for good reason. Huck isn't. McCain is staying far away.

McCain-Obama, or Obama-McCain. In my business, trends are revealing.

Do they speak english on the planet your on? Huck was in it to give people a 'choice'? O choice of what, might I ask? Why is it just fine and dandy to call yourself the 'christian' leader, but then cry wolf when we say religion should not be an issue. Hucks ego is bigger than arkansas. He is not a humble man who wants to simply do good. He is in it for himself and himself only. And what about the 'mormon' issues? Don't we have freedom of religion here in the United States? What are you guys, the evangalical Taliban? Personally, I don't see any 'Mormon' problem that the dems can hit us on. Many others don't see it either.

Romney is such a suck up...all he cares about is himself. Do you really think that Romney would be helping McCain if there wasn't something in it for him? Give me a break....all he cares about is becoming VP so he can be President in 2012. Nobody campaigns for VP except Romney who is so desperate!!!
Sorry, Mitt, not in '08 because the Dems. had the Wright mess. If Romney is on the ticket as VP, the Dems would attach Mormons. We don't need to have that problem for the Republicans.
By the way, Huckabee stayed in the campaign because he wanted to give all of the rest of the states a choice to vote for. He is not about his ego....that's the last thing to think about him...he is very humble...unlike Mitt! Why don't you mention anybody else making comments about Mitt...none of the other candidates liked the way Mitt attacked everybody on the Republican Party who was leading in the polls. Nobody else did that because they showed respect for each other, except Romney, of course.
There is nothing wrong with Mitt's money, except when you try to buy the Presidency or VP.

He's just not thrilled at all the face time Mitt is getting, or the boost by several, including some pretty big GOP types like the Bush family. If Huck was serious about helping the GOP, he would have dropped out sooner, stopped with the pettiness of some of his comments abour Mitt and worked for the common good. We did not see that, and most likely won't.
I don't think there is anything wrong with being a rich guy wanting now to run for office. Mitt did not take a salary as Gov. Did not take one as head of the SLC Olympics. And has said he won't need to take one if elected to pres - now vicepres.
Besides. The dude has his own airplane. Gotta admit - that's pretty cool. |

Well, I guess that new Mitt blog will steal all the show...but nevertheless, here's my own place. To vote for who you want as McCain's Veep, select from the poll on the right-hand side...

of fact. That is quite a low level of intellectual ability.
She also condemns all of the people of, at least, Kansas as evil.
She does not appear to be rational. |

(Gallagher's column April 18, 2008 11:27 am)
"In Kansas, twelve year old girls can marry, unless the law has been changed in the last couple of years.
People who say that sex between an adult man and a twelve year old is by its very nature evil are mistaken. This is a very recently developed opinion and has been advocated by those wishing to place governmental authority over parental authority. This type of thinking is coming from people who self-righteously believe everyone should do as they say. It is totaltarian in its origins."
And in another blog (Huck hits Mitt) post he wrote at 6:42 pm:
"If it is evil by its very nature, why does God enable a 12 year old to procreate?
He said that sex between adults and children as young as age 12 is NOT EVIL. I didn't lie, and I think eddie is a dangerous and sick person.

but by the phrasing of your comment you left a wide-open space for jokes to fill the void... |

to understand simple English. |

Even for 12 year olds. He hates Romney and slams the LDS faith, just so everyone knows where he is coming from. |

He's out there talking about McCain everywhere - lots of interviews. And he's doing a great job of it. There really is no a better spokesperson that I've seen. Great interview the other day on MSNBC where Romney did an excellent job of talking up McCain's economic policies. Romney is clearly a real boost in that dept, and that by itself is a powerful reason to choose him.
McCain is thinking about WA and Or, my neck of the woods. I think he has a shot for one or both if he chooses Romney. |
