Romney blew it. | 3:27 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
To: Want Romney?
If you think the Romney "hate" is strong here in Utah, just wait until you start reading the comment boards in the other states. They REALLY don't like Romney.

I don't like McCain.... | 3:41 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
either. Romney is by far the best candidate! However, I do admit that I think
McCain would do a good job with our nation's number one priority:
preventing more terrorist attacks. Again, I think McCain's slanderous lie
that Romney advocated a "get out of Iraq" withdrawl date stinks to
high heaven and is hypocritical! However, if McCain gets the GOP nomination I
will vote for him. Why? He'll stay in Iraq and get the job done while
Hillary and Obama said they'd get the U.S. out right now, well before the
job is done. And...I believe that McCain will fight hard against terrorists
around the world. Can you see Hillary or Obama doing that? I can't. They
tend to have the typical Democratic vision dancing in their head that if someone
is unkind to you then it's your fault because you "weren't nice
enough to them". That sounds nice but it isn't always true.
Sometimes people hate you for no good reason and will NOT change. McCain
understands that. BUT.....so does Romney. Romney's strength is not just
in his "Commander in Chief-ness" but also in his tact, his
non-agressive speaking style, his patience and intelligence as well.

To "Moderate" | 3:49 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
Mitt didn't say he "wished he had the chance", he said he
"wished I (he) would have joined the military". He didn't say he
did not have the chance. He said he had the chance and didn't take it and
now he regrets it. How is that "plastic"? Please don't leave
him just for the fact he acknowledges he made a mistake. Haven't you
looked back on your life and wished you'd done something differently?

You may not like Huckabee, but he was definitely the least annoying last
night.
Oh well, I just voted for Obama.

To "Romney blew it"... | 3:59 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
My point exactly. I've read literally hundreds and hundreds of posts in
non-Utah sources: Newsweek, CNN, msn.com blogs, etc. Yeah, they really do hate
Romney and a HUGE portion of it is because he's LDS. (That's what
THEY said, that's not just my perception). That is precisely why Romney
supporters ought to be presenting the truth about Romney cause the media
certainly isn't doing it....
To "Mormons for Huckabee" | 4:14 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
Let me get this straight. Because Mitt Romney's father walked out on Barry
Goldwater's convention speech that automatically means that his son is not
fit to be President? Dude, when you hold a grudge you really hold a grudge.....
Hillary | 4:16 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
If you're unaffiliated and you don't want Hillary for pres vote Obama
in the primary. Mitt has it obviously sewn up in Utah. Let's have the race
between the best from each party.

GEORGE Romney? Sweet revenge after just 44 years, huh?
What you true blue faithful conservatives don't seem to comprehend is this: You had your chance to run the entire government - executive, legislative and judicial, and you still have most of it. But it failed! Why? 1. the desire to control every bit of it, just because it seemed possible. It led to things like squelching science, a double standard for justice, the trashing of alliances and the misuse of penal power in and outside the country. Even disaster victims were treated politically. 2. the desire to get ALL the people on the same ideology without any more intellectual heft than Bush himself. 3. miscasting all Americans as Christians, meaning right wing Christians.
See it go? The legislative branch is narrowly on the other side, and liable to go more so. The executive is heading to a shift that could go for decades. The judicial branch will stay conservative for the most part for years, and it will be conservatives in court looking for relief because it won't be anywhere else. Put the blame on the people at the top of the ticket and their neocon pals.

To: Please Pay Attention | 4:14 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
Dear Please Pay Attention,
Romney does not qualify for the kind of business experience we need in the White House. Bush (and his father) were businessman, and see where that has gotten us. In both the Bush's and Romney's instances, they are big-business oriented... not small business based! This is an absolutely important distinction.
The only president we've had who had a sensitivity to small business was the farmer president Jimmy Carter (and yes! I agree that he was a very ineffective president, having to pick up the pieces from the Nixon era). Problem is, he keenly understood agriculture needs, but missed the boat on small business needs. WE NEED A SMALL BUSINESS ORIENTED PRESIDENT!
When a man or woman runs who's not been an attorney, CPA, big-business CEO, real estate speculator, etc., but real 'SMALL BUSINESS' owner, who's started a business from scratch, with his own money, had to take out SBA loans and have his home secured against those loans, had to bootstrap major parts of that business' operations to make due, etc., etc. In other words, no inheritance seed capital, no rich uncles (or other family members, etc.). That's someone I'll elect regardless of political party affiliation.

Neocon Mormons are the biggest babies in the world.

They simply cannot look in the mirror to see how Aryan-like and unlikeable they truly are.

McCain will never approve trying to push forth a marriage ammendment to the Constitution. That's why he shouldn't be elected.

Wow! How uncivil we have gotten. Why can't we have a civil, non-name
calling, serious debate that will help all of us learn and move forward in this
process of selecting two nominees for the highest office in the land? You know,
all many of you are doing is just turning each other off as opposed to engaging.
I've noticed this incivility in the comments in newspapers in NY, CA, and
FL, besides UT. So many want to just call each other names and hurl insults.
Let's be respectful of the candidates and of each other. Then we can move
forward. THANKS!!

"Check Point"
What Romney Said About Troop Pullout -
by Michael Luo (Januuary 31, 2008)
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. � Senator McCain of Arizona, who makes �straight talk� something of a political brand, likes to say he always tells voters the truth. But what about the accusation he made in Florida that Mitt Romney once supported a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, a topic that again became heated on Wednesday? Mr. Romney called the accusation offensive. Mr. McCain stuck by it. Mr. McCain has argued that his accusation is accurate, pointing to an interview on �Good Morning America� last spring on ABC-TV in which Mr. Romney said he believed that President Bush and Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki of Iraq should have �a series of timetables and milestones� that they discuss among themselves but do not announce. Mr. McCain�s accusation is misleading. In Florida, Mr. McCain sought to lump Mr. Romney with Democrats.

McCain's Lie - Pt 2 of 3 | 5:10 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
Governor Romney wanted to set a date for withdrawal, similar to what the
Democrats are seeking,� Mr. McCain said. But Mr. Romney
has not called for withdrawal from Iraq, a Democratic refrain. He has repeatedly
said he supports President Bush�s strategy of staying the
course. He has dwelled more than Mr. McCain on the prospect of American
troops� returning home. In the fall, he also appeared to
hedge when asked whether the troop increase was working, saying it was
�apparently working.� Mr. McCain
argued Wednesday that the direct question Mr. Romney was asked last spring was
whether �there should be a timetable in withdrawing the
troops?� �The right answer to that
question,� Mr. McCain said, �was,
�no.� �
Mr. Romney said: �Well, there�s no question but that the president and 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."

McCain's Lie - Pt 3 of 3 | 5:18 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
"Mr. McCain has focused on the last part of the quotation to say Mr. Romney
wanted to pull out American troops. Mr. Romney appeared in the rest of his
response to discuss measuring progress in Iraq, an idea with bipartisan support.
WHEN HE WAS ASKED IN THE INTERVIEW ABOUT VETOING A BILL WITH A TIMETABLE, AS
PRESIDENT BUSH HAD PROMISED TO DO, MR ROMNEY SAID HE
WOULD.�
Now, if even the liberal New York times recognizes the lie that McCain is perpetuating, then why can't America? Is McCain REALLY the kind of person you want leading YOUR country?

Mormons for Huckabee | 5:29 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
Let me say this again:
George Romney walked out on Barry Goldwater's convention speech.
Why, you ask? Because George Romney was a liberal who advocated communism in North Vietname.
Mitt Romney is a liberal who raised the capital gains tax, funded the "Govenor's commission for gay and lesbian youth", denied the Boy Scouts participation in the 2002 winter games (because the BSA denies gay leaders), and voted for Paul Tsongas. Mitt Romney is bad for the Party of Reagan and bad for the conservative air that I breathe.
Go Huckabee!
Afterall - we are Bruce R. McConkie Mormons and Barry Goldwater Republicans.

McCain is an idiot! Why can't america wake up and see that? It boggles my
mind that he is leading. His record, his monotone boring voice, his smug
attitude, and frankly his age. If he could have done anything for this country
worth while he would have a record to show for it and he doesn't. Romney
is the only republican that can beat the democrats and the media knows it.
That's why they are pushing McCain. I'll either not vote or vote
democrat before i vote for McWugget!
Seen lot's of this... | 6:15 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
over the many years I have been alive I have seen and heard it all. America is
still here and it is a great place to live. Politicians come and go and they
often leave a wake of destruction in their path. Mitt is a fixer upper but
people are afraid of him like going to the dentist. What possible trouble could
Mitt really inflict on the country he has learned to serves and love so well.
There will always be a majority of liberals to see we are taken care of by the
government. Mitt could bring truth and balance to the office of President. This
year, we may get another DUD for sure. Hillary with her nasty agenda, Obama with
his idealism and inexperience, Mc Cain with his little chessy cat grin and his
desire to be COMMANDER IN CHIEF...and direct the war! Will we survive? YES, the
pain may be so bad that people will come to their senses and return a leader to
the White House...Maybe Mitt will have to wait for that time...SAD.
one man's opinion... | 6:38 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
I'm embarrassed for these politcians who are jumping on McCain's
bandwagon (with their endorsements)...because it looks like he's going to
be the nominee.
Being an American hero forty years ago has nothing to do with how McCain can successfully run this country. On a scale of 1-10, McCain gets a score of 3 (tied with his pinocios) for his Emotional Intelligence. What an ego. What venom. What me'idis! I'd be a happy man if I never heard McCain utter the words "I'm proud of my record"..., and "my friends..."
Please don't call me your friend, its patronizing.

November. That's part of Hillary and Bill's long term strategy. They

Bill is intelligent, experienced, reads, and cares about people. He is also a lawyer.
Gracious you have good ideas. Thanks.
As to McCain losing, he will. But not because of some plot. It will be because Bush, Jr. has blown it as President and no republican can win this year. Outside of Utah, the winds are blowing. Change is coming. And it is long overdue.

Have to admit, I've never seen so many whiners and complainers in one
place. You are going to abandon democracy because your candidate isn't
going to win? You are going to vote for the other side just to spite somebody?
How old is everybody posting here. We live in a free country with the freedom
to determine our leader -- AS A GROUP. You cannot always get what you want, but
if you try sometimes, you might just get what you need. Go out there and talk
to people to support Mitt, if he's your man. If he doesn't win, suck
it up and go with the next best option. Life goes on people. Bush was a
fantastic disaster and we are still doing fine.

Don from Missouri | 11:23 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
Mike Huckabee is only staying the race to be a spoiler. He and his gang know
that as long as he stays in the race, he'll divert enough votes away from
Mitt's chance of winning the nomination. As a conservative, I'm
seriously considering changing my party affiliation to the Conservative Party.
The Party of Lincoln, Teddy R. and R. Reagan, has been highjacked by McCain
brand of liberalism, I frankly can not and will not support a party that would
nominate such a nut case. McCain and his gang of liberials i.e. Ed Kennedy, and
others will help fragment the party for years to come. Pres. Reagan would roll
over in his grave if this happens.
Ronald A. Young | 11:58 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
What does George have to do with Mitt? Neither are close to being like the
Grandfather and both are very much their own people. Remember Mitt pulled a mess
in Salt lake into a huge success. Saved a mess in L.A. and Served Mass well.
They are still very much closed on Sunday and almost tight as a drum on
Christmas. Huckabe is the most likely to give us back Sunday and get Roe v Wade
over turned, but other issues with him scare me.
Troe Patriot | 12:13 a.m. Feb. 1, 2008
On the debates the other night Mccain and Romney called each other a liberal and
you know what they were both right. The only true conservative still running is
Ron Paul as a ten term term congressman from Texas. He has been a staunch
patriot for following the constitution. He has never voted for a tax increase.
He believes in a smaller government and that my friend is a true Conservative.
He wants to stop the looting of the social security fund, and he opposed all the
so called free trade agreements that lets other countrys dump food and products
on us. Also he wants to bring the troops home, now. No more no bid contracts for
Halliburton. I will vote for Ron Paul if I have to write his name on the ballot.
I will never again vote for the lessor of two evils. Because do you know what
you still get? EVIL. He has took 2nd in 2 states Nevada and Louisiana with
virtualy no positive media coverage. Check out his voting record,and you'll
find out he says what he means and he means what he says.
Hey Don from MO. | 12:46 a.m. Feb. 1, 2008
Teddy R was a progressive, he even left the republican party to run on his own

Lincoln a conservative at least by todays standards.
Leo | 12:50 a.m. Feb. 1, 2008
Mike Huckabee always seems to be the most eloquent of the republican candidates
(when he is allowed to speak). The interests that control the media are doing
their best to marginalize him - its really obvious isn't it? Romney seems
to have his vascillating head in the clouds and not to be in touch with anyone
without a country club membership. McCain is too much a soldier and hasn't
run a State government, so he's seems to be a one trick pony. Don't
let the media control your thoughts - please! I invite you to look at all the
candidates websites, including Mike Huckabee before you make up your mind (it
may be a real eye opener!) Exercise your freedom from corporate control and the
media. Remember, the sponsors of those debates is dicating how much time each
candidate can talk and the questions asked - they are using that medium to
promote their objectives. Even if you don't change your mind after going to
each of the websites (just take a few minutes), you will at least prove to
yourself that you can be a free thinker and you are! Thank you!

Remember This? | 2:03 p.m. Feb. 2, 2008
Remember in last week's GOP debate when McCain snidely pointed out that he,
and not Romney, had been endorsed by several Massachusetts newspapers? Then he
bragged about how he would get his home state's newspaper endorsements. (I
thought Romney showed tremendous restraint by not punching his lights out, BTW.
I don't know if I could have been so calm, even on national TV.....)
Anyway, so McCain bragged about endorsements. As the saying goes, "talk is cheap". Or how about "put your money where your mouth is"? The media recently reported that Utahns gave $5.2 million total to Romney's presidential campaign through the end of 2007, including $619,471 in the last quarter. IT WAS NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH AS SEN. MCCAIN RAISED IN HIM HOME STATE OF ARIZONA ($2.75 million).
Gee, John, in your OWN state? Phoenix alone has more people in it than all of Utah. How's THAT for an "endorsement"?

What Have We Become? | 5:14 p.m. Feb. 2, 2008
Fear has always made America strong. Were we ever more determined than during
the Yellow Scare? When every Christian gentleman lived in mortal terror of his
daughter being doped up on opium and raped by pagan, mustachioed Chinamen? What
about the Red Scare, when citizens from all walks of life showed their pride by
turning in their friends and associates to rabid anticommunists? Has America
ever been more resolute?
Not so very long ago, we winced every time we saw someone with facial hair or a backpack. Average people were terrified of opening their mail for fear of getting a face full of anthrax. Those were perhaps our country's greatest days. Yet that once-phobic spirit that defined our times is drastically changing.
My God, what have we become?

Preserve the climate of fear | 9:48 a.m. Feb. 3, 2008
The last six years have been a golden age of American apprehension and mistrust.
Thanks to the events of Sept. 11, 2001, all of America was united, standing
shoulder to shoulder in sheer, unrelenting fear. But tragically, that atmosphere
of panic and confusion has begun to fade, and without another terrible attack to
bond us as a nation, we are dangerously close to entering a post-post-9/11
era.
We cannot allow that to happen.
We must all do whatever we can to preserve America by refocusing our priorities back on the contemplation of lethal threats�invisible nightmarish forces plotting to destroy us in a number of horrific ways. It is only through the vigilance and determination of every patriot that we can maintain the sense of total dread vital to the prolonged existence of a thriving, quivering America.
Our country deserves no less than every citizen living in apprehension.

McCain will not win the presidency. Conservatives (me included) will NOT vote
for him no matter what he says. We've know his liberal record, we've
seen his out-of-control, foul-mouthed, boorish behavior towards his Republican
colleagues. We don't want a anti-free speech, pro-illegals, pro-tax cranky
old coot in the White House.
Romney is THE MAN OF THE HOUR! He is an outstandingly decent, brilliant, incredibly successful guy. Conservative, calm, articulate, analytical, organized, world-class executive. What's not to like?!
A vote for Huckabee or Paul is a vote for McCain. Neither Huck or Paul has a snowball's chance in you-know-where of becoming the nominee. I'm convinced the Huckster has been bought off by McCain, offered the VP or a cabinet post for ousting Romney by splitting the conservative vote.
The American Conservative Union reports that McCain is the MOST LIBERAL Republican after Lincoln Chafee, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, and Arlen Specter. Those five are only nominally Republican, are more liberal than a lot of Democrats.
Most Republicans are conservative, want a president that reflects their values. The candidate that fills that bill is MITT ROMNEY!

Romney is THE MAN OF THE HOUR! He is an outstandingly decent, brilliant, incredibly successful guy. Conservative, calm, articulate, analytical, organized, world-class executive. What's not to like?!
A vote for Huckabee or Paul is a vote for McCain. Neither Huck or Paul has a snowball's chance in you-know-where of becoming the nominee. I'm convinced the Huckster has been bought off by McCain, offered the VP or a cabinet post for ousting Romney by splitting the conservative vote.
