Mitt Romney has the guts, brains, foresight, experience, committment, persona,
charisma, integrity and character needed to run the United States of America,
which he will do, for the next 8 years. The left wing media along with all the
democrats knows he will knock-out either Hillary or Obama - Edwards might as
well pack it in now while he is still ahead.

Webster defines the noun flip-flop as an abrupt change, as to an opposite
opinion. Please, one of you pundits (not you, Lifer, you are too biased)), tell
me the difference between the self-righteous, self-proclaimed straight-talker
John McCain, who says he is now and always has been consistent, but is now doing
a 180 degree turn from his McCain/Kennedy immigration bill because the American
people have rejected it en masse, and Mitt Romney doing a 180 in regard to
abortion.

Here is a news flash: Mitt decides to wear a red, white and blue pull over...
boldly going where no man has gone before. McCain is angry that he didn't
think of it first and hangs his medals on a black sweater. Huck accidently
pours milk on his suit and it forms a white cross. Fred goes one better and
wears a baseball cap that comes from Notre Dame. Guiliani wears an ILFlorida
cap and swears he has worn it before, somewhere. Ron Paul does not see the
humor in any of it.
The demos? Can't comment on them, can't find them. I would guess that they are at Furniture For Us outlet picking out the rugs, draperies, and linens for the WH. Can't blame for being so cocky.

GO MITT GO...YOU'RE THE GREATEST!!!
Mitt ain't it. | 9:11 p.m. Jan. 14, 2008
"You're the greatest!!!"
Really? And in all caps? What exactly is Mitt Romney "the greatest" in?
The greatest number of flip flops overlooked by his supporters?
The greatest number of insults lobbed in a single speech?
The greatest pandering ever seen in an election campaign?
The greatest walk with Martin Luther King?
The greatest use of a car top carrier?
The greatest number of anti-endorsements?
The greatest mannequin candidate we've seen in a long time?
The greatest dodging of almost ANY question asked of him?

Mitt is greatest in looks and style.
Mitt has the greatest command of the language.
Mitt has the greatest experience needed for the job.
Mitt has the strongest work ethic, untiring, motivated and willing and able to fulfill his committments.
Mitt has the greatest family...Just take a look.
Mitt has moral strength, committment to family, country and to a strong America
Mitt is a winner in all areas of his life...He's the object of jealousy and becomes a target because of it.
Mitt is what this nation needs...If the nationals can't see that they and we are the losers.

I am SO EXCITED about Mr. Romney's candidacy. He just inspires me a lot and
I am so happy that I am not the only one who likes him. He is such a great
person, you could just feel his leadership potential just all over his persona.
What a Great Family!

The information I get in Japan is limited, so I am grateful for any
point-of-view beyond mainstream media.
Although I didn't like the negative campaigning (call it what you like, but it was negative), I think he is the most qualified to run the country. Other than abortion, I am not aware of any other issues he has changed his stance on, so comparing him to John Kerry is off-base. I don't really care about him being "plastic," since I don't ever plan on having dinner with him.
To the people in Michigan, and in response to Huckabee's commnets, you shouldn't be seeking "a neighbor" in a president, you should be seeking someone smarter than the person who just laid you off.

I hope Mitt Romney becomes president. Then he can use his church's
influence (tax-exempt status) to spread the word of Joseph Smith far and wide
and bring the abominable and false churches of the world to everlasting light
once and for all so that they too might see ... (you know the rest).
If the heathens aren't obedient and go along with the program and bring in the demon ACLU, it will give Romney the opportunity to bring to fruition the prophecy of "the Constitution hanging by a thread.

Mitt is OK, but I prefer McCain. Huckabee and his ilk are dangerous to
religious minorities. Obama and Hillary are better than Huckabee.

Like it or not Romney is the best candidate. He can't take care of all
Michigan's problems but when is the last time anyone made any sort of
effort? By small and simple things great things come to pass. So many Americans
are so negative and wont do the little things themselves or take any
responsibility. They just blame everything on the President or somebody else. If
Mitt can take all the abuse and change peoples minds he will be a great
president. But he needs to realize he can take only small steps at a time and be
patient with the negative people and convince the people what they need to do
and their responsibility. And if they are to lazy to do it who's problem
will it be? America should work together to get things done and not point
fingers and blame who did what to who.

He is winning the race so far and somehow it gets portrayed that his back is against the wall?
And why not let more than 3 states (how about 50?) vote before forecasting the winner? Better yet, get the biased media out of the way and just let the people vote. They should focus on reporting the news rather than trying to create news.
I will vote for Mitt not because of his religion but because of his track record. He is a proven leader who has succeeded in business and politics and life. His success should not work against him!
We need someone who knows how to turn this country around. Go Romney!
