Let's get Hussein out! I don't want socialism in my country. Unlike his wife, this is the first time I've not been proud to be an American. None of us will have any "change" left when he is done.

Repubs?

MAYBE I'll vote GOP again when they return to conservatism and actually lead the country.

MAYBE.

Doug G

He's a good man, a principled man, a good leader for our party." Thats why I voted for Obama.

Curious

I'm curious Chris, how many years of post-high school education you have?

Brother Chuck Schroeder

As a Mormon and a Republican I'll never be a puppet to the puppet master Michael Steele. I never heard Steele talk about this when Sarah Palin was running, or even Mitt Romney. Why do it a year after the fact?. Here's Steels healthcare plan to. The Republican Healthcare plan, if you get sick, die quick. Or ask President Obama to beg Forbes 400 Poor, poor billionaires to buy you a over the counter minimum requirement of two Bayer Aspirin because of the recession. That'll help relieve the pain and reduce the risks of heart attack and stroke, you all are seeming to be having these days. And if you get better, we'll see you at the Hugh Hefner Playboy Mansion for one of Hefner's lavish GOP fundraising parties and call it a town hall meeting without the wife, with a wide variety of Fundraising Products tools and Ideas for all types. Then you'll be ready and empowered to elect or designate in the 2010 re-election as our personal puppet and true constituent. I would of brought this up there to LOUDLY if I were there in West Valley City not FL.

"He's a good man, a principled man, a good leader for our party."

If Mr. Steele was in the southern states, he'd be saying the same thing about Huckabee.

Chris B.

Just graduated this year with a Masters from the U.

re: Curious

Cant speak for Chris, but I have three college degrees and I want Obama out too.

The crux

Steele said the party "needs to focus on its ability to reach out and embrace the diversity that defines this country."

Jon Huntsman is the best the GOP has got so far.

Follow the Constitution

This country needs good leaders who stand by the Constitution and have great moral principles and will not back down from them. Hopefully the next elections will have individuals with those qualities to vote for.

Bountiful Brave

While I consider myself politically conservative, I'm not sure if I'm aligned with the Republican Party anymore. I'm not sure which is worse; Liberal Democrats or Southern Baptist Republicans.

No Hope and Pocket Change so far.

Fundamentalist are taught Not To Like Mormons.

They where scared that Kennedy was going to make everyone follow the Pope.

A fundelmentalist could never close his Church once every 6 months and have everyone watch from Home.

Neither could He Not Pass An Offering Plate. As many afried to Preach the Strict Law of Tithing (it can cost you your job in Religion), survive on a few full Tithe Payers and Chump Change.

They consider going to Church by area and having No Paid Preacher to be unseamly at best.

Our Organizational Skill border on the Cult. The fact that most can gather togeather on an issue with out fragmenting or causing 3 wannabes to atart their own Churches to be amazing.

That Power and Jobs In Religion are given up, (Released) is way byound them.

For some that the members can get help from the Church, Fast Offering, Church Welfare, Bishops Store House etc, and that our New Buildings are opened Turn Key with No Debt.

All this is scary enough with out adding the BOM, Joseph Smith, Temple, Temple Marriage, Eternal Familys, Kolob, etc.

Note the RNC Talking Head is Black.

re: Chris B.

Looks and sounds like a Masters in "RACISM." With Americans like you who needs enemies outside of the US!

I've always been Republican, but the party is now far too far to the right. References to Obama being a Nazi and fear of "death squads" permeate the party. They seem addicted to emotions of anger toward other Americans, justified by patriotism, and fueled by radio spokespersons who administer regular doses of "anger highs" that keep them coming back for more. Until they can break free from the truth twisting information outlets and ridiculous e-mail forwards and realize there are some good, Christian-based ideas outside of their party, they will reverence people like Palin, fear that Romney will let LDS leaders run the country, and continue to be fringe.

Steele, who is from Maryland, may preach that Republicans are past the religious test, but trust me, the southern and midwestern conservatives will never allow a Mormon to represent them as the GOP nominee. But if you want a man with principles like mine, as an active member of the LDS Church, I choose and admire President Obama. Forget the rhetoric you hear, the guy is morally correct and consistent. By the way, what is "awesomeron" blathering about? Makes no sense at all.

lost in DC

I think it's sad that evangelicals would allow an abortionist to be elected before they would vote for a mormon. They sacrifice the unborn at the altar of religeous bigotry.

No Religious Bias Against Mormon

There is no religious bias against Mormons, once again that is just playing the "Victim Card".

According to Mr. Oaks, people should be able to vote their religious beliefs and the vast majority of American's religious do not agree with Mormon beliefs.

Mr. Oaks statements points out that Mormons will vote and legislate their religious beliefs. However many Americans simply do not want any part of this religion, and therefore they will simply practice their own religious freedom and refuse to support these candidates.

This is a valid Christian Principle as taught by Mr. Dallin H. Oaks. What is good for the goose...

Just curious: awesomeron, is your native language German? They also capitalize all nouns. That also might explain your misspellings. Otherwise, you seem to be a rather inept troll.

Let's get one thing clear...the Southern Baptists DO NOT control the Republican Party. They are only one of many groups.

I think Michael Steele is great and I really admire him for his brains, his integrity and his courage.

I am proud to be a Republican. I have two university degrees and many years of experience in Washington. Unfortunately, some members of our party forgot who they were. We have paid a hard price for it.

VERY unfortunately, our country lost it's way in the last two elections. As time goes on, it becomes more and more clear that the nation made a terrible mistake by electing Obama.

We now have a chance to save our country from going over the cliff. I hope everyone will jump in and get involved.

LET'S GET BACK TO THE PRINCIPLES THE FOUNDERS ESTABLISHED.

re: Curious

I have two doctorates... I think that Obama has little to no respect for the U.S. Constitution.

Obama's White House Communications Director Anita Dunn recently (June 5, 2009) delivered a speech to a group of high school students where she said that one of her favorite political philosophers was Mao... Mao was a brutal communist Chinese dictator.

Obama has surrounded himself with people that discount democracy and the Constitution. Scary stuff!
