Of Course They want to attack him, he is what's good for America!!! Wake Up America, The Liberal Democratic Party is the Communist Party of America in the 2000's! Conservative Democrats are Electable, Moderate and Liberal Democrats are FAR from the mark of the 60's and earlier Democrats! They are Lethal to America, they are Marxist BED BUDDIES!!!

I would listen to these critics except that the stench of hipocrisy is overwhelming and I have to leave the room....
The best comment is 'we have to look at what he has done and not what he has said.' Bravo, I agree 100% and if that is truly done, Romney outshines any of these critics. Romney needs some help on responding to the attacks of flip-flopping. He isn't nearly as bad as 99% of the congress and senate, but for some reason, he doesn't combat it well and therefore he is a prime target for such attacks.
I, for one, hope Romney isn't the VP pick, because McCain makes me sick with his politics and believe he'll the lose the presidency. Thus leaving a door open in four years for Romney to win the Republican nomination and defeat the incumbent Obama whose 4 years will have been a farce.

The Dems are fearfull of seeing two "blue" states turn "red".Mass. & Mich. However, I think McCain is going to choose Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.

Aren't elections fun? Since when does a flight to Utah count as a flip?

The day a gay, leftist Democrat says something nice about straight, rightist Republican Mitt will really be news.

Stinging, inconsistent attacks that lack any credibility because of their source. lol

I'm curious how Romney will explain:
"God hasn't spoken to man since Moses," when this clearly contradicts LDS dogma.

Nobody kicks a dead dog. You would think the dems would wait for a running mate to be selected before they blast everyone they can think of.

Why would this come as any surprise to anybody? The democrats continue on their course of complain, distract, and oppose and then point fingers as to why problems persist. Where are their initiatives? Where are their proposals or solutions?

Gov. Romney has taken stands on positions while a candidate for president, therefore, he becomes a target for democrats because, 1) he is right and 2) he proposes actions and bring solutions to the table.

The American people will see this and understand. There is no wonder why the approval rating of the democrat lead congress is near single digits. As they continue to point fingers and continue to be obstacles and create problems, in order to get headlines, rather than bring solutions, they will continue to falter.

I Don't see where the DNC has any right to talk about anybody I Don't know why anyone would want to vote Democratic seeing as how since they took over 1 1/2 yrs ago we went down hill from Jan 07 to worst record in history of congress and still going down

I would love to see Romney on the ticket. The articles about him provided great fodder for columns and commentators here in the DesMitt News. In addition, he'd help deliver Utah for the repbulicans. Oh, wait. I see it's already been signed for.

Barney Frank bashing Romney actually helps Romneys cred

Flip floppers may be only right half the time - but ideologs are often wrong all the time

Wow, no surprise there, Democrats attacking potential Republican VP candidates before they're chosen, no surprise. I do hope that before folks comment on the spurious attacks that they at least watched a few of the many, many debates, then they may have some credence in their opinions. Yes, Mitt Romney changed some positions, but did so, not because of political polls, but out of reasoned, thoughtful experiences. By the way, I watched both parties debates to make a more intelligent choice in November. Barney Franks?? Go Mitt!!

With an attack like that from the democRATS, I think Mccain just found his VP. He must be a great guy!

I've always wanted Romney as McCain's running mate and believe that would be a very strong ticket that will win the election.

The way the DNC has now raised their game in their all-out ATTACK against Romney just confirms to me that I am "right on". Romney/McCain can win!! GO "MCCAIN/ROMNEY'08"! :)

Not surprising but don't be confused. The Dem's are using their dark and hopeless frame of reference and really describe themselves probably more perfectly than anyone could possibly imagine. That is the true message in these attacks, we should say this is what the Dems are really like themselves. It's like they are looking in a mirror and describing what they see.

Hear what people really say.
Understand for myself what they really mean.
Gather unbiased information freely.
Decide for myself who we really need.

This has been one of the most atrocious election years ever -- all we have been fed is sound bites and unsound opinions -- from all sides.

Oh how I long for the days when you could meet a candidate, look him in the eye, feel his grip, and know from personal experience if he was what he said he was.

YUP and what else you got? sounds like someone is nervous about Mitt. Here is the deal in michigan business is a disaster because unions (d) are demanding high salaries the interest in the stakeholders was making money Mitt worked for them. In public he works for the people and does a great job of that too. As for the flip flopping it is very simple as a politician you must represent the people who elect you. It's not the politicians values that matter it's his ability to plan and execute the plan.

Outside of what is illegal I don't care what politicians do as long as they stick to the plan I elected them for far too often our politicians think they get 4 years between acountability then the lies come out again I can't hardly stand it. At least Mitt is saying what he will do to represent me I like that it means he get's me enough said

How are you going to attack a Man who is basically clean. No Affairs, No Thefts In Office. Known to be a great administrator. Great family man. There is far less to fear in Mitt being a Mormon then Obama being who he is, what ever that is. Anti Abortion (a lot of us over the years changed our minds on that issue. He has his draw back like anyone but they are so much less then Obama and who ever he chooses to run with him. It would be like evil attacking goodness. So many people seem to be putting aside there core values in order to embrace Obama, that I find it greatly disturbing. I live for the repeal of Roe v Wade. Protecting the Borders, and I do believe you can locate and deport every illegal alien in the United States. Its not an over night thing and the methods may not please everyone but it would solve the problem. Also to protect Americans from Sherrill Law, because of their Ethic background, or faith group that they where born into. Freedom both of Religion, and from Religion.

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
