to: Romney | 1:51 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

This Mormon is voting Romney but I am not casting my vote based on the religion we have in common. Up until last week, I was an undecided voter leaning toward McCain.

I voted for McCain when he ran in the primary against Bush (sorry George). At the time I was somewhat wary of his reactionary temperament at the time but I liked what he had to say and chalked it up to the pressures of the campaign. In the last few weeks I've watched him closely with the intent to confirm that my vote for him was the right direction. Disappointingly, it is not.

Perhaps it is age, perhaps it is too long in Washington, but I've come to see that John McCain does not reflect my values or principles at all. I've been extremely disappointed in the man I once thought of as my future president and if he is the Republican nominee I will probably not even vote in November as the top runners in the democrat party are ones that I could not in good conscience vote for either. I might be able to vote for John Edwards if he were even on the radar.

For years I valued Senator mcCain's position on a host of things, but lately I have discovered his lack of honesty, integrity and manipulative tactics put him in the back row in my book. He has recently clearly demonstrated his jealosy,insecurity and poor judgment by his unfair, unwarranted and hasty judgments and assessments towards Mitt Romney. Is this the kind of man we want as our President who knowingly makes false attacks against a man who can lead our Country back to Greatness? McCain is a big disappointment.

Ryan | 2:44 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Okay I watched meet the press and read the transcript. Romney did say what McCain is accusing him of... Romney just said the timeline should be private. He had the quote and where he said it. Watch meet the press. McCain has the quote.

Dont get me wrong I dont support McCain. I like Mitt and im not even LDS. But McCain isnt lying, look it up Mitt said it.

Comments continue below

To Ryan... | 3:22 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Saying a timeline should be private is NOT the same as saying Gov Romney has a timetable to bring the troops home. The timeline could be the course of future action, which may OR MAY NOT include removal of troops. Senator McCain is not a war hero. He didn't save any lives. He was a POW and trys to play that card as an entitlement to the Presidency. He and Huckabee are in bed together to take down Romney. Then Huckabee will be his VP candidate. McCain is deceitful, not the "straight shooter" he says he is. He voted against the tax cuts TWICE and now says he supports them. He joined hands with Ted Kennedy to grant amnesty to undocumented workers in the USA. I would put his integrity on the same level as Bill Clinton; maybe even lower...........

Business Review | 4:15 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Romney's expertise is in business management, NOT in economics. There is a huge difference. Just because he can be a successful businessman does not mean he will make a good president of the nation. In fact, many people believe his firm advocates exploitative management practices. He is a big business groupie, who follows companies around and gives them advice on how to maximize their exploitation of their workers and their customers. That is not what the President of the US should be about. The US Government is NOT a business, nor should it be run like one.

Vietnam Vet | 4:18 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

John McCain has never called himself a war hero. John Kerry called himself a war hero. Others call McCain a hero because they admire his service to his country in the military and recognize his status as as POW. Hero is probably not the best choice of words, but in this sense, McCain is much closer to being a hero than Mitt Romney ever will be. The few posts I have made here have been respectful of both candidates. But obviously, there are quite a few spoiled young folks making comments here who have no military service of their own. Too bad we have no GOP candidate with both military service and great money-making skills. Then this argument would not exist. The comments on this thread just confirm that this will not be the year for a Republican victory.

russ | 4:27 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Just a comment to Ryan: when you are a POW you are a hero. You cannot take that fact away from John McCain. Think slowly and clearly about what a good day POWs had in north vietnam, year after year.

Personally, I would cross a busy street to shake hands with a POW. I have done it in Texas. They earned it.

War hero? McCain? Yeah, as a fighter and as a POW.

Mitt? Well, maybe he ... well... he didn't. Sometimes simple facts ruin our pardigm.

Anonymous | 4:38 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Mitt is obviously the best candidate. We need character, leadership and integrity. These are all core items surrounding our faith. Who better to lead this country than an LDS member whom embodies these traits. He's got my vote.

Quote from "Meet the Press" | 4:39 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

"There's no question but that the president and the prime minister, al-Maliki, have to have a series of timetables and milestones that they speak about but those shouldn't be for public pronouncement. You don't want the enemy to understand how long they have to wait in the weeds until you're going to be gone."

Nowhere in there do I read that Romney advocates "a" timetable for withdrawal, but rather a "series" of timetables and milestones. DUH! Any successful plan has to have these benchmarks. The next question was asked if he would veto "a" timetable to withdrawal the troops from Iraq, to which Romney answered yes, he would.

McCain is a war hero | 4:51 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

On that there is no doubt. Does it qualify him to be the most powerful man/leader in the free world? Absolutely NOT!

Romney all the way!!

Response to Business Review | 5:02 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Mitt understands economics and business management. They aren't mutually exclusive. You have got to understand economic trends to make sound business decisions. I agree understanding macro economics is critical is well - albeit it is more of an academic exercise. I believe Mitt has a stronger grasp of economics by far more than any of the other candidates.

To Anonymous | 4:38 p.m. Jan 27, 2008

It sounds like you are stating that being LDS would qualify someone for the presidency. It is illogical to think that just because one is a member of the church there is inherently character, leadership and integrity embedded in members. I would think quite the opposite and what I see inhereted is superficial character traits and plastic personalities.

Nice try but I think I'll pass. McCain is the Man.

Bobbi | 5:14 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Funny how Romney believes that he deserves an apology for McCain saying that Romney stated that he believed in setting a set date for withdrawal (point being Romney wanted it to be secret and not publicly stated). Why didn't Romney offer the police during the Olympics an apology for swearing and disorderly conduct? Witnesses said the used the F word, Romney says it was H E double hockey sticks - but no apology. Romney has been recorded using Barack Obama's name inserted for Osama bid Laden numerous times, when pointed out to him of his error - no apology made.

Is Romney not man enough to admit when he is wrong, or to apologize for his ungentlemanly behavior?

ROMNEY'S DA MAN | 5:19 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

For those who think that Mormons for Romney are only for him because he is Mormon.. you are dead Wrong.

Harry Reid Happens to be a Mormon... I wouldn't vote for him if my life depended on it.

Mitt is the only candidate that can get the economy rolling.

Without a strong economy.. we'll have to bring the troops home if weather we want to or not.

Romney is the candidate for me. All this talk about flip-flopping is ridiculous.

Mitt changes his mind on one issue.. Abortion.... (And he didn't try to sweep that under the rug.. he didn't apologies for changing his position... in fact why punish someone for come to the light on such and important issue?)

On the other hand McCain has changed his position on two MAJOR issues in just the last month...

#1 Now he wants the Tax cuts permanent (Even though he voted against them)

#2. Now he has taken a harder stance on Immigration (Trying to emulate Romney's plan).

It's pretty clear who is the REAL flip-flopper.

McCain is who we needed on the battle field when he defended for our country...

But ROMNEY IS WHO WE NEED NOW.

Quote at 4:39 p.m. | 5:22 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Thanks to the 4:39 p.m. contributor who gave us the complete Romney quote. Where McCain was completely dishonest and told the big lie was at the end of his statement when he lowered his head and his voice, knowing that he was about to lie and said, "like the Democrats." Not by any stretch of the imagination could Romney's statement given to "Meet the Press" be construed as being "like the Democrats." McCain lied. He knows he lied and you and I know he lied.

Andy Neilson | 5:27 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

I liked the comment about McCain not being too bright. I don't mean it offensively, but he seems to be a little slow on the uptake. I don't think he's actually trying to deceive anyone, he just doesn't remember from day to day what side he's on on the issues..................I like Mitt for two reasons. First, his integrity is excellent. Second, he's really, really smart. He knows everything about everything. In debates he makes his competitors look like deer in the headlights. That's the kind of guy you want dealing with the British Prime Minister and the Supreme Court Justices.

Mitt 08!

JOHNJ | 5:34 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

I use to like McCain but he's really messed up on the Vietnam hero bull. Ya know the real hero's are the mothers and fathers who have and still live knowing that they lost thier son or daughter in a WAR and all the troops that are still messed up to this day!
Sure McCain was there sitting at the hanoi hotel while everyone else was getting killed or disabled for the rest of their life!!! So why does that guy think he's so great. What a loser using the Vietnam War to worm his way into the whitehouse?? Wakeup AMERICA!!!!!

I guess you guys forgot that Mitt ran negative adds which misrepresented and distorted his opponents views. Now you guys are throwing a hissy fit when they are doing it to Mitt. I don't care for negative campaigning but I am ashamed that most of you on this board seem to ignore the fact that Mitt has done it, in Iowa and New Hampshire. If I was to compare the integrity of Mitt and Mccain, Mccain wins in a landslide.

POW comment. That has got to be one of the worst comments I have ever seen. I don't think you know what these men went through in the Hanoi Hilton. I have read books on that place, I have listened to speeches by former POW's who where there during my time in the military. I listened in shock when they described the different types of tortures that where implemented on them. I have so much respect for Sen Mccain and other POW's. They are Patriots and Heroes. I may not vote for Mccain but I won't object if he gets the nomination.

Re: Romneys da man | 6:36 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Wow two things. How about Gun Control, Abortion, Gay rights, Stem Cell, Immigration, Taxes and many others. I think we all know who this person is, the real Flipper, Mitt. Don't believe me, use your brain and go research your candidate. If you can't do that, then turn your brain in because you obviously aren't putting it to use.

Utah Republican | 7:17 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

McCain is a Democrat in Republicans clothing!! I will not vote for him if he is the nominee. He is the only republican to vote against the Tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. I will vote for a third party in this election. What is wrong with my fellow republicans around this Country? This is really sad.

russ | 7:22 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Mitt understands economics? The guy told Michigan voters that he would spend fed. money to bring back auto jobs to Michigan. A, it isn't going to happen, and B, use fed. money? Well, when you pander you pander. A duck is a duck, and when you are a panderer, you are a panderer.

I wonder what he is going to say in California? Texas? As for my state, pander away! We will forget the real world out there and hustle up to the trough for the dough.

Mitt understand economics? No, I don't think so. Does he understand pandering?

Oh my yes. Oh..... my.......... yes

Anonymous | 7:31 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Some of you have argued that it is false to assume and LDS member would vote for Mitt based on just his religious affiliation. I have to apologize to the LDS faithful for the misinformed and sometimes mean spirited comments.

I would like to qualify that the LDS are smarter than just to vote for an LDS candidate; they also have to be republican. I canï¿½t say I agree with the mentality but at least there is a semblance of logical thinking in the political arena in Utah: LDS+Republican=Elect.

bob | 7:35 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Has McCain reached the point where he'll say and do anything to beat Romney? Seems so.

Mitt, a better fit | 7:38 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

McCain showed in the last debate that he can lie to the entire nation without any qualms, saying that he did not know where Tim Russert was getting a quote attributed to McCain, and McCain knew full well he had said those words. And he expects us to trust him as president? We do not need another Bush in the White House.

This is just the latest in a long series of moral lapses and ethical deficiencies coming from McCain. Remember the Keating-5, in which McCain took a bribe to help cover up the defrauding of the american public via the savings and loan scandal. McCain has clearly proven he cannot be trusted with power, with the blatant abuse of power in the Keating-5 alone. He should not be allowed anywhere near the White House--we cannot afford a Bush II administration. Plus, McCain is an adulterer, a clear lack of moral judgment in this also.

Romney has shown to have much more personal integrity, and is much more morally sound than McCain. Hillary is in the same establishment mode as McCain. Romney is by far the best candidate running for president.

Re: Utah Republican | 7:45 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

If Mccain is a democrat what does that make Mitt. Mccain record shows that he is more republican than Mitt if you put their records side by side.

Mom's for Romney | 8:03 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

I guess McCain didn't pay too much attention during the debate when Mitt Romney clearly defined his support of the military especially in Iraq and refused to pull them out until it was safe.

Poor Russ, I read you a lot in Deseret News Comments and you are always throwing a tantrum with no basis! Oh My!

parker | 8:06 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

McCain is a complete criminal liar and he has a history of lying to the American people.

McCain says he is for tax cuts, but he voted against the Bush Tax Cut.
McCain lied. He is a liar.

McCain says he does not support illegal immigrants, but voted in favor of legislations that support amnesty plans.
McCain lied. He is a liar.

McCain flip flops within a 47 second time. The fastest and world-record holder. He earned the gold medal for lying within a 47 second time.
He is the fastest liar. http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/04/mccain-flip/

McCain says, ï¿½He Has ï¿½Never Asked For A Single Earmark Or Pork Barrel Projectï¿½ For His State.ï¿½
McCain lied about that also.
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/06/mcca...

McCain lied about his infidelity that occurred in 1979.
He was still married and sleeping with another woman.
McCain lied about that also.
www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2006/0607.benen.html

Do you want a President who is an aggressive and traditional liar?

McCain can not be trusted with foreign affairs;
He can not be trusted with the national economy;

We must not put a liar in the White House. We must not let a liar become the President of the United States.

Get Real..... | 9:30 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

To "Ryan" and anyone else that thinks Romney wanted a specific date for withdrawing troops from Iraq...get real. Yes, Romney said that Pres. Bush and Iraqi leaders should set timelines and benchmarks for the war in Iraq. There's no denying that. But, is that the same as a "timeline for withdrawl"? Absolutley not. Think about it: 1st, the sole intent in publicly debated discussions about an "Iraq war timeline" has ALWAYS been about setting a date for withdrawl, as in, "if we haven't won by X date, then we're out of here!" That is definitely NOT what Mitt was advocating. I've got news for you folks: your U.S. military ALWAYS goes into a war with clear, objective, quantifiable goals (or "benchmarks") set. Otherwise how are we supposed to know if we're winning the conflict? Yes, sometimes the benchmarks we set are not as inclusive as needed (i.e., the extensive looting and sectarian violence after the major ground campaign ended) but yet, there were already benchmarks in place. Indeed, how can ANY organization progress w/o clear goals? To say that Romney advocated a "get out of Iraq" date is overly simplistic and therefore utter nonsense.

McCain for withdrawal | 9:46 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Oh, how the worm turns! John McCain in a 1/23/07 Arizona Star article, calling for "benchmarks" for keeping troops in Iraq: " 'They'd have to be specific, and they (Iraqi government officials) would have to meet them,' he said.
Asked what penalty would be imposed if Iraq failed to meet his benchmarks, he said: 'I think everybody knows the consequences. Haven't met the benchmarks? Obviously, then, we're not able to complete the mission. Then you have to examine your options.' "

Later on in the article: "Still, several Senate Democrats who oppose the troop buildup and also may seek the presidency said they were struck by McCain's comments.
'We Catholics call that an epiphany,' said Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Joseph Biden, D-Del., who is sponsoring the main Democratic resolution opposing the troop buildup."

Funny how short McCain's memory is....

Seems he was AGAINST withdrawal, before he was FOR withdrawal, before he was AGAINST withdrawal. Just don't tell the troops....

More "Get Real...." | 9:46 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

For McCain to criticize Romney for wanting Pres. Bush and the Iraqi gov't to establish goals in the Iraqi war is ludicrous. Senator McCain, as a former U.S. Navy fighter pilot and 5 1/2 year P.O.W., knows full well that one of the very FIRST things he will do if elected President is meet with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretary of Defense and the senior most military leader in Iraq (currently Gen. Petraeus) and review the "benchmarks" that the Department of Defense and the Iraqi government have set. So, yes, McCain is criticizing Romney for doing something that a) your military has ALREADY done and b) he himself would immediately do if elected.
Lest anyone say I am am a McCain hater I will say I tremendously admire him for his military service and deep patriotism. Going through USAF Survival School and enduring a simulated P.O.W. camp for 36 measly hours made me seriously wonder how those guys did it for YEARS. He IS a hero and he has earned our nation's respect. However, I don't think it speaks highly of McCain's current character to misconstrue Mitt's words and attack him in this manner.

Suburbs of SLC | 9:49 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

By no means would I say that all Mormons support Romney because of it, but I would say that there are a whole lot that do. I've spoken with a number of my friends about who they support, and they all say Romney. I ask them why, and I get answers like 'he writes his own speeches' and 'he looks presidential'. It's no big secret that they like him because he's Mormon, but they like to try and hide that that is why, and they hide it poorly.

Mike | 10:00 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

John Huntsman Sr. should take Johnny Jr. out to the woodshed for supporting McCain in Florida. Dad supports Mitt and Jr. would be nothing without Sr.'s money and name recognition. Utahns should remember who their governor endorsed when he comes up for re-election.

Larry | 10:03 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

I like both Romney and McCain and would trust them over any of the three undemocratic Democrats who cede US sovereignty to the international community via treaty and submerge our Constitution through left-wing gobbledygook passing as federal judicial decisions, if given the opportunity.

You are all right about the media wanting McCain, though. I joked with a McCainiac co-worker: Bad news for your candidate-Romney up 4% in Rasmussen poll; Worse News: McCain endorsed by 'Rambo'; Kiss of Death: NY Times Endorses McCain.

I would warn those violating the Reagan commandment that even if Romney wins this thing, he may give McCain the VP spot or at least a senior cabinet position and unify the party, which would not be a bad move. In other words, Reagan was wise and should be listened to more than ever in 2008.

BTW, the vicious NY Times swipes at Giuliani are so transparent. They know Rudy's going to lose and be back as the Big Republican in NY and they want to do everything they can to undermine him if he runs for Governor when it's time for the voters to spit on Spitzer. We know your shallow tricks NY Times.

Lisa | 11:08 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

I'm really getting discouraged, OK, disgusted with people who assume that all LDS members are kook aid followers and would vote for Mitt Romney simply because he's a Mormon.

Give me a break. Can't you people be a little more open minded than that? We have minds, you know.

The fact that you assume such a ridiculous notion affects your credibility more than anything.

Don | 12:40 a.m. Jan. 28, 2008

Don't we all ask God for help in difficult times?

America's next President will need God's help.

Do you think God would help a Dishonest person?

McCain has proven himself disingenuous and even dishonest.

Romney is an honest man.

Look and Choose Carefully America!

workm13p | 1:06 a.m. Jan. 28, 2008

With all the flip flopping Romney does he probably does not remember his position from two weeks ago. I am so sick of reading these horrible one sided newspapers that make Romney sound like an angel which he is far from and making McCain sound like he is a demon. I can not even listen to Romney anymore. Everytime I watch a debate it's like listening to a broken record. My record says this and my record says that but my record says i just don't care for the idiot. All he talks about is his short reign in Massachusetts where they couldn't wait to get him out and the most successful thing he did was build a temple there. Romney is an idiot who thinks his "Laywers" and "Attorneys" can fix everything for him. We need a leader not a manager. You can not manage the United states. You can only lead it and Romney is not suited to do so.

To Lisa | 8:23 p.m. Jan. 28, 2008

OPEN MINDED??!!.. Please tell me about open minded... Or at least help understand how the the LDS faithful define open minded.....

Stuck in Utah

To "Stuck In Utah" | 9:46 p.m. Jan. 28, 2008

The LDS faithful ARE open-minded; open-minded to anything that does not oppose the light and knowledge they have been given from God (you can commence screaming in anger now....) just like I would expect Catholics, Baptists, Jehova's Witnesses, Pentacostals and even scientists, etc to be wise enough to reject foolishness if it contradicted knowledge that they knew to be absolute truth on a given subject. People today often hail "open-mindedness" and yes there are often times it helps to consider new ideas, however, remember that if one is ALWAYS open-minded he can act just as foolish as if his brains had fallen out. BTW, how can you really be stuck in Utah? The Latter-day Saints came to the Salt Lake valley to live in peace. If you don't like it, you're free to leave, since I reeeeally doubt that you're as helpless to leave as you claim.

Chuck and Huck | 10:12 p.m. Jan. 28, 2008

I watched a Chuck Norris tirade against Mitt Romney tonight on Hannity and Colmes. He ranted and raved about how Mitt was trying to buy the Presidency with his millions. Chuck and Huck have become so rabid in their attacks on Romney that they have lost all credibility. Chuck Norris is a liability to Huck, as if Huck doesn't have enough liabilities already. Give it up, Huck, and go back to preaching. You're an also ran.

conservativemama | 11:46 p.m. Jan. 28, 2008

I am LDS and have been researching every candidate in this election. I did not wish to support Romney just because of his religion. In fact, the opposite was true. I feel that Romney is not conservative enough. But of the candidates who are still in the race, Romney is looking the best to me, so I may decide to vote for him in the primary next week. I don't believe in supporting a candidate because he shares my religion. I do believe, however, in voting for the one who most closes shares my political philosophy.

Stallone vs. Chuck Norris | 9:16 a.m. Jan. 29, 2008

Hey Huckabee and Norris,

Just remember that Sylvester Stallone, Rocky and all 5 other Rockys and Rambo all have Romney's back. Haha.

what a joke | 9:31 a.m. Jan. 29, 2008

romney is all about money ... he knows that money can buy anything he wants, including the presidency ... he has fooled so many people and seems to be fooling more ... the question i ask is this: when your heads are buried as deeply in the sand as they are, how can you make a reasonable choice? ... ROMNEY IS A BUSH CLONE ... we can't survive another bush ... and finally, ann coulter, the disgusting queen of the sewers, loves romney ... that fact alone should make you stop and think ... WAKE UP!

BJ Jazzy for Romney | 10:19 a.m. Jan. 29, 2008

FEAR. - Its written all over McCain's wrinkled face! I hope and pray that the people of Florida make the OBVIOUS right choice and vote MITT! Romney is far and away the man we need running this country. He is NOT AFRAID!!!!!!!!To fabricate pure unadulterated lies is a desperate attempt and anyone who has closely observed and watched the debates should have an easy decision to make. VOTE MITT!!!!

To "what a joke"..... | 10:37 a.m. Jan. 29, 2008

Romney has "fooled them" how? Where are your facts? Where's your numbers? Your stats? Your quotes? Who said them and in what publications and what are those dates? And, so Ann Coulter likes Romney. She's proven to be a die-hard conservative which means that Mitt must be fairly conservative too. Without any objective, substantive claims to back up your opinion it sounds to me that you just hate conservatives and if they have money you hate them even more.

Pondering in Idaho | 11:15 a.m. Jan. 29, 2008

I am suprised at the comments that have been made and flung at each canidate. It reminds me of how the canidates themselves have been acting. I think perhaps the best option is to state fact not opinion, and be able to back it up with truth. And no CNN does not count... Do the research get educated, not emotional.

Mark | 1:34 p.m. Jan. 29, 2008

You Mormon bashers have it all wrong. Utah Mormons don't just vote for Republicans. Utah Mormons don't just vote for Mormons. Utah Mormons vote for WEALTHY, WHITE, business-oriented, LDS Republicans.

Old Vietnam veterans who are political moderates need not apply. And if they do, their intelligence and patriotism will be questioned. Even if they are naval aviators and were TORTURED in Hanoi.

Frank | 1:32 p.m. Jan. 29, 2008

I wonder how long Mitt would have lasted at Hanoi?

russ | 2:07 p.m. Jan. 29, 2008

Did someone say that John McCain isn't very bright?
Try landing on an aircraft carrier. It is not for the weak of heart or brain dead. To be a jet pilot requires a lot of things, and one of them is brains.

What a cheap shot.

what a joke | 5:07 p.m. Jan. 29, 2008

you don't have to be paying too much attention to know that romney outspends his gop rivals ... according to msnbc: "The cumulative ad spending leader in the state [florida] since March was Romney, who aired 4,475 TV spots, nearly 10 times as many as McCain did" ... but, noooo, you say ... that's just the LIBERAL MEDIA fabricating again ... ann coulter can tell us the truth! ... sorry, i don't hate you ... i pity you..

Funny man | 6:00 p.m. Jan. 29, 2008

McCain appears to have won in Florida. That's it for Mitt. I have said it first.
