This e-mail is making the rounds in the pro-family world in FL. Four of the top conservative org. heads are now with Romney:
Four pro-family leaders endorse Mitt Romney for Florida Presidential Preference primary
Recent changes by candidates for the Republican nomination for president have made it much clearer that Mitt Romney is the preferred candidate of choice in the Florida Presidential Preference primary.
The recent withdrawal of Fred Thompson from the nomination process and the news reports that Mike Huckabee will only have a minimal campaign in Florida leaves the winner take all race for Florida's delegates between Mitt Romney, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. The news reports on these recent changes are provided below. Additionally, the Rasmussen Report provided below shows Mitt Romney has the best chances of winning while Huckabee and Thompson trail far behind.
Rasmussen Survey of 754 Likely GOP Voters January 20, 2008
Election 2008: Florida GOP Primary
Mitt Romney 25%
John McCain 20%
Rudy Giuliani 19%
Mike Huckabee 13%
Fred Thompson 12%
Ron Paul 5%
Not Sure 6%
Dennis Baxley, David Caton, Carole Griffin and Anthony Verdugo, representing over fifty years of combined pro-family leadership in Florida, support Mitt Romney in the Florida Presidential Preference Primary.
The election results from Florida's Primary on January 29th will play a significant role in the Republican nomination for president. Florida's election results are expected to heavily influence the choice of voters during the February 5th Super Tuesday primary that will be held in many other state.
Mitt Romney is clearly the most conservative candidate among the top three competitive candidates (Giuliani, McCain, Romney) appearing on the Florida Presidential Preference ballot in Florida.
Dennis Baxley is the incoming Executive Director for Christian Coalition of Florida and former Florida State Representative for District 24.
David Caton is the Executive Director of Florida Family Association.
Carole Griffin is a pro-family lobbyist in Tallahassee and heads the Eagle Forum in Florida.
Anthony Verdugo is the president of Christian Family Coalition.

you mean group and spokespersons of organized hate and supremacist groups? |
|

he is refering to true conservatives that will choose the candidate that best fits the conservative ideals. This time, independents and democrats will not skew the republican party's true inclination. |

Kirkpatrick, David D. 11 March 2007. "In Romney’s Bid, His Wallet Opens to the Right" _The New York Times_
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/11/us/politics/11romney.html ?_r=1&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1198897685-V4op/WdPFhPK3 8TYd2kXyA&pagewanted=print
Conservative critics of Mr. Romney have already seized on a $15,000 donation to Massachusetts Citizens for Life — which was first reported in January on a little-noticed anti-Romney blog by Carol M. McKinley, an antiabortion activist in the state — to argue that he is trying to buy the group’s support, or at least silence its criticism. Mr. Romney’s wife, Ann, is also helping to raise money from others for the group.
Massachusetts Citizens for Life was critical of Mr. Romney, who was then a supporter of abortion rights, during most of his tenure as governor. But over the past few months, its officials have issued favorable statements about his record on abortion issues that have become an integral element of his appeal to social conservatives.
At a conference of conservative activists in Washington last week, Mr. Romney’s campaign passed out a statement from the group praising him as one of Massachusetts’ “strongest assets.”
The conservative Web site Mass Resistance accused the group of selling out. “Outrageous,” the site declared. Mass Resistance has published a dossier on Mr. Romney’s former liberal views and has become a hub of conservative opposition to his nomination.
Marie Sturgis, executive director of Citizens for Life, said his donation had no influence on her group, which has an annual budget of about $600,000.

Also, the latest version of Romney won't advocate stopping the killing of embryonic human life.

nyrock,
How does being Pro-life equate to being a supremacist? Isn't it true that Margret Sanger established Planned Parenthood as a White Supremacist organization? Isn't it true that the real supremacists in this country are you Liberal Fascists? |
|
Will soon become a mighty roar as more and more citizens realize he can unite this country, stand up to our enemies, work to fix the immigration mess with humanity and with respect for the laws of the land, establish firm fiscal policies, reform our bloated entitlement programs, and work on the rest of his to-do list to fix Washington.
People of faith, all faiths or of no faith, need not fear his leadership. He will stand for our collective core principles of freedom and not flinch to stand up for marriage and families. He will support and defend our Constitution.
GO MITT! |

a sneeze away from needing a restraing jacket. With all due respect. |

The problem with Mitt is that republicans do not know what they are getting. He changes positions and says whatever the voters want to hear. This lack of candor and clarity is why the south and big states will end Mitt's misery on Feb. 5th. Mitt has lost the lead in two big primaries, don't let the paid mouth pieces spin him as the front runner in FL. |
|
...you can always depend on Sarah Bigot to trash Romney, can't you?
You seriously need help.
|
|
McCain and Huckabee
is that conservatives know what they are getting with them and they don't like it. Even though these guys say one thing, we know it means something else.
The problem with Guliani is that he is not a social conservative, although he is strong on fiscal responsibility and the war against radical Islam.
The problem with Ron Paul is that he treats the American Public like little children by telling them all they have to do is pull the cover back up over their heads and there is no monster under the bed.
The problem with Sarah is that she doesn't understand this. |

Romney is now up 5% in Florida on the latest Insider Advantage Poll matching the 5% in the latest Rasmussen Poll. He is also now a close second in California taking away a great majority of the Conservative votes.
The momentum favors Romney in Florida. It will be interesting to see what happens to McCain and Giuliani after they lose Florida.
Go Romney '08! |

Mitt cannot win the general election, plain and simple. A vote for Mitt in the primary is like a vote for Hillary in the general. And those that foolishly back a guy who is trying to lie and buy his way into the WH truly deserve 8 years of Democratic control on our government. |
|
|
I think you are wrong in saying Mitt Romney cannot win the general election. |

that Mitt Romney is not genuine to his core beliefs has not taken the time or made the effort to look at his political practices as Governor of Mass. His 'speak' leading up to being voted in as a Republican in Blue Mass might have been confusing to a pure rightest but his actions while in office most likely saved the lives of the unborn. He did not sign into law any pro-choice legislation nor did he assist in any way a support structure for leftist thought or ideology. Anyone who believes that Mitt Romney is anything than a legitimate Conservative is being boondoggled by anti-Mitt-ites. In addition, Mitt Romney will have a great chance to gain the support of moderates and some liberals to take the White House in November. Many of you are believing in a Power that Hillary does not have. Her own party is split down the middle and many Libs that I know personally will NOT vote for her if she is the candidate from the Dem side. |

Let me ask you all a question or a little test question here.
You receive $100,000 and Mitt receives $100,000. Which of you two will take that $100K and make it grow? Or will you take it and spend it hoping to make yourself feel good about the things you purchased?
My money literally and yours (taxes) is on Mitt. I have much more confidence in Mitt's ability to take more than $100,000 but more like a trillion dollar economy and know how to make it work for the American people. He knows economics. When you have a strong economy you can have a strong military (which I am a member)and strong family values that keep people out of poverty and teaches them value of an education. |

Voting for a candidate on the premise of "electability" is not only irresponsible but, with due respect, cowardly. Conservative voters who would side with any candidate for any other reason than principle and conscience is betraying him or herself.
If you believe candidate X meets your criteria for the job of America's leader then vote for him/her regardless of the fact whether they can win or not. If we as Republicans/Conservatives choose a candidate and he happens to place second in a general election, so be it. We voted with our dignity. And perhaps our nation needs another Carter so we can find another Reagan.

website you always like to go to is a fraud in that they take things out of context all the time.
Mitt is a Mormon as we all know. Mormons do not believe in abortion. Mitt didn't and doesn't believe in abortion personally. He stated that he would not change the law on the books at that time and protect Roe v Wade. Once he was elected as Governor (which by the way was in a financial mess like we are now, as was the Olympics, as was any other company that he consulted on and turned around) Mitt vetoed EVERY time a bill that tried to expand abortion laws. So he held to his promise. It is a lie to say that Mitt was for abortion. As an LDS member abortion is against our beliefs except in the case of rape, incest, life of mother.
Mitt also has more popular votes, more delegates, won more states and so you all can follow the MSM and continue to say McCain is the leader but TRUE conservatives will vote for Mitt as their opportunity comes up. |

I am voting for Mitt Romney. He is a great statesman with the Midas Touch. Everything he touches turns into gold. Under his leadership, he will turn America into gold and propel America into greatness! From sea to shining sea... |

LIberty Belle...I am laughing still. You are hillarious! Yes, the site administrator is Pro Romney and you're all doomed!
I troll this site nightly, posting occasionally. I come generally just for the laughs of reading synthesizer, Sarah, and other Mitt haters. You remember the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland? These guys are Mitt Haters from "A Mormon in the White House", and THIS AIN'T NO FAIRY TALE! Go Mitt!

"Field Of Dreams" when Kevin Costner heard the voice say, “If you build it, they will come”. The way I remember it, Costner kept hearing the voice until he built the baseball field then like magic "they came". This is what I think about with the endless rhetoric that comes from the likes of “bigkam” and his cronies who keep shouting over and over, “Romney can’t win, Romney can’t win, Romney can’t win”.
I think that, that they think, as in the movie if they say it enough it won’t come true. Well bigkam and cronies, it may work that way in the movies but you are out of luck in THE REAL WORLD where Mitt Romney will beat your McNasty, Shrillery, and Omymama to become the next President of the USA. Go Mitt! |

Romney certainly was a shrewd businessman, but he doesn't really have that great a record governing Massachusetts.
Here is what the Boston Globe wrote on February 15, 2006, as Romney was nearing the end of his governorship:
"Since January 2003, when Romney took office, through the end of last year Massachusetts ranked 46th in job growth, up just 1.1 percent, according to Global Insight, an economic consulting firm. Nationally employment grew 2.8 percent. Massachusetts topped only Louisiana and Mississippi, which got crushed by Hurricane Katrina, and Michigan and Ohio, which got crushed by the decline of manufacturing....
Romney likes to point to the fact that the state's unemployment rate has fallen to 4.9 percent from 5.7 percent when he took office. What he doesn't say is that is in large part because so many people have fled the state or given up looking for a job. There are 40,000 fewer people in the workforce than when Romney took over." |

Romney sugar-coats his record, and cherry-picks his facts and figures to paint a very rosy picture of his accomplishments. The Fact Checker has given him multiple Three Pinocchio ratings and even a Four Pinocchio rating (the worst) for some of his claims.
I would encourage people to take a closer look at Huckabee. Huckabee is the only other governor in this race, and he has a record in Arkansas more than twice as long as Romney's. Allies of Romney funded the Club for Growth's early attacks on Huckabee, which curiously started running ads against Huckabee far before he was much of a blip on the national radar.
Yet many Arkansas businessmen, who know Huck's record, came out recently in support of Huckabee and stated that the Club for Growth's ad was misleading. A closer look at the facts on Romney's own record, on the Club for Growth's own website (stripped of editorializing), shows his record was at least as questionable as Huckabee's.
The fact is that Huckabee governed extremely well, raising Arkansas education standards from well below average nationwide to 8th in the nation, and repairing one of the nation's worst road systems. He cut spending to the bone before being forced to raise taxes to cover a budget shortfall.
On the social issues, Huckabee has a proven record of supporting life and marriage whereas all Romney offers are flip-flops and promises. Huckabee can DEFINITELY be trusted on these issues but Romney not at all. |

It's true, I just posted a comment about Romney's record. It was there, then POOF! It disappeared. |

Sorry, my browser must have had a problem. The comment did come back. My bad. |
