Teach the "christian" south a lesson. Vote Ron Paul or Obama so that they will learn to respect LDS repubicans.
I choose to vote for Obama, having watched for the past two days the absolute joke that the gop has become.
Count me as one gop member who is disgusted that Palin was chosen: she is not ready for prime time.
I vote for my nation: i must switch to demos.
attack Obama, attack Obama, attack Obama... is this theparty of negativeness or what!!!!!!
Please tell me the issues and where the gop is on those issues!!
Obama has told the nation about where he stands. Why can't my party do the same????????
I am going to switch tomorrow morning down at the court house. I have had it with this negativness.
showed Good Sportsmanship by throwing his support
to the chosen candidate. Many times things don't work out as one wishes, especially in a very very competitive setting. Part of life is dealing with those "losses". To approach them as learning experiences and by showing Maturity and Good Manners
and Grace is really the only proper thing to do.
That speach was the greatest speech I have heard in 20 years of politics!
Mitt should be our President of the USA!
Why couldn't they have put at least one "true" Republican on the ticket?
This so-called maverick mentality is laughable, given that the Republicans have controlled the executive branch for the last eight years.
I say they've had their chance. Time for actual change.
There is no place for socialism and infanticide in our nation.
It is "stupid" not stupit. As to the rest of the liberals - Why does it seem that most liberal bloggers attack the Republicians based on their personal family issues or resort to base name calling instead of debating on the merits of the issues with intelligent arguement. I guess it is because they are STUPIT.
Hey Jerry - Brilliant -
"It is the same old story. Mitt's talk was ok but I have never heard McCain say anything like that[.] [A]all I hear him say is to fight with Borak [Barack} and say what borak [Barack] will do. They need to just be honest[.] [T]thet [They] think we are all stupit. [stupid - wonder why they think that]. McCain lost our vote by not picking Mitt for vis [vice] pres."
Mitt will be back.
It's more than just making sure that there is no poverty in the world - a great goal, WHAT IS THE PLAN? There was no plan explained there. Submitting legislation is far different than having to live with it. The people in Washington, all of them, need to be replaced with average people from all walks of life - who KNOW what it's like to LIVE with what Washington doles out - then maybe Washington would be less likely to have unreal expectations from limited resources - from our families, big and small businesses, etc.
It's time to wander in the wilderess for a season, while the GOP gets it's collective act together.
McCain has his man in the form sister Sarah Palin, who preached a pretty mean sermon tonight. I mean calling out the most benign senate majority leader in recent memory like she did took some real chutzpah. The beauty contestant gloves are off and she means business. Joe Biden must be nervous tonight. I mean, if Harry Reid has to take that kind of tongue lashing, Joe doesn�t stand a chance.
No, Mitt never had a chance with that group and yet he drones on�assigning virtues to folks who never had any, and extolling the qualifications of a man who is vastly over experienced in nothing to do with being president.
The sad part is that deep down, Mitt knows better.
There are obviously many comments posted on these DesNews boards in which posters claim to have at one time been rabid Romney supporters (or McCain supporters) but who now, because Palin was chosen as VP, will vote for Obama "for the good of the nation".
Read "Go Mitt" at 8:43 for example.
Give me a break...
Where is the substance?!!!
I really think it would be better if McCain were to fail so that we can have a redo in 2012. McCain and Palin might be the weakest Republican ticket ever.
I can't understand how such a smart and successful guy can run such a dumb and lackluster campaign. As much as a lot of us wanted him to get it, he didn't deserve the nomination.
He could have done such a positive speech, but there was a lot of negativity in there and sounded more like Bush 3.0 than McCain even does.
Reagan would be turning in his grave.....
recommendation for energy conservation -- let's keep Al Gore's private
jet on the ground!" Two messages in that statement: Al Gore should set example by not wasting fuel himself, and that if he weren't spreading his message we would be better off.
The republican party has zero respect for the man or our religion. I can see these, pundits can see this. Why can he not??
I find Nader and Paul interesting choices - these types are the only ones likely to break up Washington - but we all know that is a wasted vote. Until some ultra rich independent who is amazingly qualified comes along we are stuck with Reps. and Dems. Someone out there give me hope!
Cow-towing to this crowd was offensive to real mormons. I'll take the steady and soft spoken Harry Reid any day and have fond memories of the late Congressman Wayne Owens who never compromised with haters in order to get elected.
Mitt's talk was awesome. The crowd gave him a rousing ovation upon entry, then a couple of other times. I think some were subdued because they know they were looking at the best, most qualified individual to be president.
A class act on all fronts...
