The anti-war socialist libs that believe that you can not support the mission
and the troops without forcing your kids to join the military are hyprocrits!
What they are ostensibly suggesting is that there be forced national service or
a draft to make it "fair." The logic of these anti-war liberals is
the logic of a spoiled brat child. Well I say, you should not be able to
criticize the war effort unless you went to Iraq, Afghanistan, Phillipines, etc.
How do you like that logic? It makes as much sense as your logic.

I don't know if Josh Romney is qualified to replace Matheson. He has very
young children. Maybe he should focus on raising them and gaining personal
success before running for public office.
The talk about enlisting is absurd. I support the war, but I also have three kids, so I would not enlist. If I was drafted, I would willingly serve, and I am pretty sure Josh Romney would too.

Mormons complaining about bigotry is awesome irony. Cry us a river.

$$$ ?
- Why do the "have-not's" hate the "have's"? What worries me is that so many posts complain that these people (whether Romney, Clinton or Obama) have money. Those with money create jobs in the US and every time we pass tax increases that take away money from them, we shoot ourselves in the foot by taking away OUR jobs and our kids jobs. Those posting comments against "the rich" are the people that would rob the rich to feed the poor. We are well capable of taking care of the poor ourselves in this nation and don't need the government to do it for us.
Josh has the name recognition and has a vibrant personality to allow him to make for a great run against Matheson that John Swallow didn't. It is a shame that in the reddest state in the nation, we support Abortion activist, house leader, Nancy Pelosi, by voting Jim into Congress. Jim is a good man and not even a bad politician, but he does not represent the views of his constituents in southern Utah. We need to wake up and get someone to run against him who can win regardless of net worth.

Josh Romney has bravely served his father,and thus the US, by driving a van
around Iowa. Well, maybe he didn't drive it, but hey. As our fearless
President says...."That's hard work!". Some of you people have no
idea how difficult it is, say, when you get a flat tire in the middle of a
cornfield in Iowa and you have to get on your cell and call some road service to
come out and change it for you. It's very irritating and inconvenient.
Believe me, it's every bit as irritating as being shot at in Iraq, risking
your life on a daily basis, serving your country. Josh has shown that he can
stand that kind of irritation and inconvenience, which would make him one fine
Utah elected official. He also understands, that by serving his daddy, who is
Mormon by the way, that he's actually better serving our great nation than
by enlisting, because we all know Mormons have the only true religion and
everyone should be Mormon. So go for it Josh! Run Josh Run! You may not be the
one mighty and strong, but you are close to it! You have my vote!
Rob | 9:30 a.m. Feb. 26, 2008
We can see that the a good part of the Chickenhawk Brigade is out in support for
a Romney to avoid the nasty work of actually fighting for something they say it
so vital.
Didn't Mitt also do everything he could to avoid answering the call from the United States when it was his chance to serve?
I remember that Mitt said his sons were serving their country - not in the military - but by working on his campaign.
But now Mitt's campaign is ended.
If Mitt can't convince even one of his son's that this Iraq War is worth their time - he never had a chance of convincing anyone else.
Sad, sad, sad...

Even if Matheson is a Conservative Democrat he still is a Democrat. We need to
win the house back and if Romney can help it is a good thing. Democrats back
their leadership when they go to DC. A vote for Matheson is a vote for Nancy
Pelosi. YIKES!
Chris Laurence | 9:38 a.m. Feb. 26, 2008
It is bigoted to vote against someone based solely on his religion. It is
identity politics to vote for someone based solely on his religion. Identity
politics is a problem when the group is the majority, as in Utah or the South.
Bigotry is a problem when it rears its ugly head anywhere.

On His Own | 9:54 a.m. Feb. 26, 2008
His opponent would not have to "paint him as a priveleged
silver-spooner". He is one. A home in Millcreek and a vacation home at
Deer Valley at age 32. That is pretty good. There is a villa open next to ours
on the French Riviera. We'll be in touch Josh.
If he had done anything on his own, ever, I might vote for him.

but let an open minded intelect (ability to comprehend and reason)look at it
with an open mind and you will never get the votes you need to be the president
of this great country. MAY GOD BLESS ALL THE MORMONS

RE:Peter Boyce Clark
Dear mr. clark. Mitt Romney supported abortion rights when he wanted to be elected governor of the liberal state of Massachusetts. Maybe his son has daddy's values. Is Josh really a closet right to choose supporter? He could be. It was only after Mitt decided that he wanted to become president and get the conservative vote, that he had a very dramatic change of heart about his stand on abortion. Oh well, Mitt's a Mormon Republican so we can forgive him his flip flopping, even on abortion. Maybe Josh will do an opposite flip flop when he decides to move onto the national political scene? At least Pelosi has been consistent in her beliefs on the matter. Mitt flops around like a fish on dry land.

I never served in the military, but I have the utmost respect for those who
do.
I also support the war because I believe it is a noble cause and what is best for our country. I do not support it because I am a war mongering chicken hawk.
Those who are participating in it deserve our respect and one way we can serve our country is to make sure they are taken care of when they return from the theatre of combat.
If idiots want to say you MUST fight in a war if you think it is an important cause, then they should take a look at their lives.
� Never drive a car again if your are an environmentalist.
� Quit your job if you hate capitalism.
� Pay more taxes yourself if you want socialized medicine (yes, the gov't will take your money).
See how stupid that it? You can support causes without taking the most extreme measures.
Just as we send letters and care packages to the troops without fighting, you reduce your emmissions, but you don't stop driving.
People should use their brains sometimes to think these things through instead of just insulting others.

Caleb,
A Satanist? Seriously? Is one running somewhere? Considering they represent the antithesis of everything this nation was founded upon, yes, it would be a problem, bigotry or not. The rule is not defined by the extremes. An atheist can be very open about the rights of religious people to exercise their First Amendement rights, so atheism per se should not be a disqualifier.
Mormonism is well within American norms, whatever the anti-Mormon publishing industry may try to foist upon the public. I would encourage people to find out more.
I suppose I will have to grapple with my own anti-Satanist bigotry. Honestly.

Character makes the man and you'd be hard pressed to find people of better
character than the Romneys. Josh should not be blamed for being a son of
priviege just as one shouldn't be blamed for growing up poor. To many
people seem to be jealous of successfull people and thats to bad because thats
what America is about. As far as Mitt for president, I'm not electing a
preacher, but rather a president. Mitt of all the candidates was the most
qualified to hold that position and thats an obvious observation. srs

RobertMD | 11:35 a.m. Feb. 26, 2008
Mitt Romney could have had it all. Most of the Baptists we know were really
behind him (most of them knew of Huckabee's secret liberal ways and ethics
violations) until he started wavering from one position to another. The excuses
didn't matter; "situational ethics" are just that.
If he had just stood up for his beliefs, and been true to his religion (re gay marriage, abortion and stem cell research), he would have had almost ALL the conservatives' votes and Huckabee would be a dim memory.
PS. Guess what? Huntsman and Matheson may be big potatoes in a little field there in Utah, but nobody we know here has ever heard of them! Go figure.

The whole chickenhawk argument is so utterly absurd, it rebuts itself. We have
an all-volunteer military in this country for a reason.
Do the "geniuses" making this argument think we should get rid of civilian control of the military in this country also? If not, why? I mean, according to your "argument" only people in the military should be able to make decisions concerning the military. Good thing a majority of the population during WWII and the Civil war didn't take this asinine view, unless I missed the part in the history books detailing Lincoln's and Franklin Roosevelt's glorious military service.

"For all you "Patriots" out there, why should a Romney join an
army that has invaded Utah to occupy Mormon property on several occasions? This
may be ancient history but some Mormons don't forget how they were treated
in the east or the west. "
After reading comments like the one I have quoted above, can anyone really claim to be shocked that a large segment of the population would never vote for a Mormon.
This is almost as absurd as the Muslims who bring up the Crusades to justify their hostility towards Christians now.

I looked up Mitt Romney's Blogg and I saw Josh Romney for Congressman. I am
not living in Utah, but I hope he will success there. I heard Mitt Romney is in
Deer Valley in Vacation home. I am sure of lot of stress about his campaigning.
"Mitt Romney understands of Reality of situation and can take a very
unemotional approach." "Not winning isn't the end of the
world" I do understand him very well. Lot of people against
"Mormon"...? People doesn't understand
America!!!"Believe" what? I want this country to Lead the country and
to the world. We don't believe on "FAME" only. Who will build
this country is the "BEST thought". It is politics are tough

Campaign experience is not the kind of experience we need. Has this privileged
kid ever wondered what it was like to worry about paying the bills? Has he ever
thought twice about the daily struggle most Americans engage in to make ends
meet. He has no clue. Neither does his flip-flopping father. I hope he wastes
more of the family money in a futile attempt to unseat Matheson. The sooner the
money is gone, the sooner this family becomes irrelevant.
Indiana | 1:33 p.m. Feb. 26, 2008
Hater: You may have aptly named yourself. You have also made some judgements
that you know nothing about. How do you know he doesn't know how to pay
bills? When I had a chance to listen to him, he was very respectful and
concerned about the daily struggles of regular every day people. Once again,
you "haters" just throw out unsnbstantiated junk that has no bearing.
You have a lot of nerve if you ask me.
I think that is the problem with alot of these comments, they are written by a limited number of people that need to put some other things in their spirits besides hate. Learn about these guys. You are just out there slinging stuf you know nothing about.
These are wonderful people and many of you are doing nothing more than bearing false witness about people who do NOT deserve it.
Shame on you. God bless those of you who really do your homework and try to find out about the candidate and the issues and then be supportive. Good things should happen.

Romney for VP or replacing McCain. Please.
I live in Massachusetts, in the community next to Mitt's.
What a fake he is, a conservative. Come on.
He says he's pro life but in his Massachussetts health care law he pushed in 2006 it requires Planned Parenthood to be on the policy board. Why did he allow that? Hmm. Any Mitt supporter's want to answer that?
Mitt is a RINO in conservative sheep's clothing.
And now he wants to take McCain's place because of lies in the NYT? Sorry, that's not going to happen.

re: Indiana
Typical knee-jerk defense of one "of your own." Did I pretend to "know" anything in my post? Re-read it and see if you can discern a statement of fact from a question. I am sure they are "wonderful people" as you say. I don't want him to represent me - plain and simple. You and many others are religious bigots without even knowing it. You accuse many of not supporting the Romney clan based on their religion. Problem is, their religion is the ONLY reason you support them. Ask yourself honestly, if Mitt and his kids weren't Mormons would you really support a non-native Utahn raised in the hotbed of liberalism (Massachusetts)to be your president, governor, or US representative? Of course you wouldn't.

It's not un-American that they did not want Romney because of his religion.
Mormonism was the brain child of Joseph Smith and there is plenty of evidence to
prove it's just another cult. It only takes one afternoon of good research
to see that.
I can't support a president who fell prey to a big fat lie because it shows he does not have good common sense and does not research something before he follows it blindly. We need a leader who considers everything carefully and does not just jump into something without careful research.
Of course I doubt you will show this on your site because you are probably just as biased as the so called un-Americans that did not want Romney and you filter out the stuff you don't want due to politics.

this is to Hater and to Michael
Hater: Your letter was rediculous. Of course, I have supported many candidates that were not LDS. I was NOT raised in Utah. In my view your judgements are unkind from one who doesn't even know him.
AS for Michael: Talk about your bigotry. my my. You took one afternoon to convince yourself that Joseph was not a prophet. I am sorry you were not desirous to spend more time in your research. I have spent my entire adult life studying the life of Joseph Smith, early church history and the scriptures in depth. It takes much more than a cursory afternoon. If one does not wish to know the truth, any lie will do.
If all else fails, one can always try the Lord's formula and search, ponder and pray. You read and study. You think analytically and with an open mind and heart. Then, you humble yourself before God on your knees and ask. It is a great experience. Anyone reading this, know I have done this. Joseph Smith is nothing less than a prophet of God. Great joy!

Why all the hubub, he is a good man and that should be recognized. Josh served a
mission, is active and Utah can relate and rely on that background. He is an
ideal candidate and for those who cannot accept or at least take a look at him,
you are clearly bigoted against the LDS church.
In the end it wont matter as the LDS voting block will deem its will upon Utah and I am proud of the majority that will make that choice.

Josh exemplifies all of the qualities that we right thinking mormons hold dear.
He is rich so he must be righteous, he doesn't work much, his daddy is
rich, he goes to church regularly. He's one of us, so we all, as right
thinking people should vote for him. I don't see how anyone could not vote
for Josh. He's a Romney, he's LDS, he's republican. What more

Alot has been said about the "Politician's" children or
grandchildren becoming politicians and how that is wrong and to much like
"Royalty". I don't understand how people can sling so much mud
with no reality check. How many Plumber's children - become plumbers? How
many Plant workers children - become plant workers? How many Teacher's
children - become teachers? Do you get the picture? Nothing is wrong with any of
that. How hard is it to understand that alot of people "become" what
they have seen and experienced growing up. How many of you have the guts to get
out and do something, instead of griping about it not being done? I would say
not many. The people that make things happen don't just talk... they DO. If
you want change - then YOU help change it instead griping and wanting someone
else to change it. Why can't you "Gripers" give your children a
better legacy and "Do" instead of "Gripe"?
