I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you….

Excellent post. Keep it up!

I believe the Only…. Candidate that will truely help my family survive into the next few years is Mike Huckabee… I Think he won the debate.

1. Huckabee 2. McCain 3. Thompson 4. Romney 5. Guiliani 6.Some libral

I felt like Romney handled being beat up gracefully, and he stood up to some of it– he should. He tried to make Huckabee answer a question and I’m sure he’s very frustrated with everyone labeling him the negative attacker when all his ads have done was focus on issues/records and he’s fed up with Huckabee never addressing his record, only whining and attacking Romney’s character. If you can really say that Huckabee’s snide comments haven’t been more personal and negative and you buy into his whining that Romney is bullying him, you should go back to elementary school because that’s the way Huckbee is acting. You could see Romney was reaching his limit, but he has more self-discipline and demeanor than either Huckabee or McCain who seem to revel in this new partnership to take down Romney.

Guiliani had some good ideas about immigration but he can’t hide from his liberal record. Huckabee and McCain both shy away from directly answering ?s about their record. McCain talked about a fence and the borders but avoids talking about what to do with illegals who are already here because he wants us to forget about his bill that does give some amnesty and will not keep more illegals from coming here. What’s more serious or important, that Romney once said it’s a reasonable approach and then when he could come up with his own plan, he doesn’t think it is the best route– or that McCain supported it, wrote it and believes in it???

None of them, except Romney, are well-rounded enough, smart enough, and dignified enough to compete with the democrats or be the next President.

I’m from Iowa and still fired up about how The Huckster fooled all his blind followers here who would rather vote for someone because he is a pastor than someone with brains and ability to face all the country’s big problems. Iowa was early, unfortunately some people in following states are voting for him just because he won Iowa but more and more people are looking at him and recognizing what a fraud, unintelligent, goofy guy he is. Can you really see him meeting with Foreign Leaders and being respectable?? He never answers questions straight up, doesn’t defend his record, just whines about other people ‘being dishonest about it’. HE has been dishonest about his record. He says all the taxes he raised were after “80% of the people voted for them”– NOT TRUE. Do you HUCK supporters stay open enough to scrutinize his record. Does it matter to you that he is being dishonest about his record in order to get elected? Won’t he be dishonest on the job if he is dishonest while he’s pursuing the job?

Read http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/huckabees_fiscal_record.html.

Huckabee brags about how his democratic state kept re-electing him as evidence of his doing something right– all it signifies is that he ran the state the way a Democrat would. He is NOT a fiscal conservative!! Conservatives are refreshed by him talking about Christian values outright. Romney does too. Mitt wants God to stay in our schools and on our $, but he doesn’t force it on you in a condescending way like Huckabee does.

Somebody answer me specifically how Romney is NOT a conservative?

Abortion is the one thing people are criticizing Romney for. It is important, but not as immediate an issue as Iraq, terrorism, illegal immigration, health care costs and the imminent recession that everyone is talking about. Also, if you really watch and listen to Romney explain his change it is very reasonable. He has always been opposed to abortion morally, personally. When it was theoretical, he believed government’s role in what people should do was more in line with choice. When he actually had authority as governor, he had to personally face making something into legislation, he had to go with his personal conviction. I think that’s what we expect our leaders to do. He wants Roe vs. Wade overturned, would love there to be no abortion in the country, but is not going to force that view on the whole nation. He would be President over a lot of people with differing views on it. Huckabee’s ad that he put out/didn’t put out MISLEADS people to believe that Romney is responsible for or in support of the MA healthplan allowing $50 toward abortions. Romney opposed it, it was a state court ordered mandate that he had to obey. Like Mike Huckabee touts that he ‘obeyed the law in Arkansas’ by raising taxes for education then makes some remark about ‘I don’t know if you have to obey the law in MA…’

Which leads into the fact that Huckabee (and McCain) have both been more negative on this campaign than Romney– despite what the media keeps trying to perpetuate, even with Chris Wallace’s question on the last debate. Ridiculous. Romney has pointed out differences on their records. He pressed Huckabee to answer his question about taxes. The meanest thing he has said is that “he (Huckabee) makes up facts faster than he talks”. Hucakbee has attacked Romney’s character by calling his campaign dishonest, his comments are riddled with snide, personal cracks, his early comments about the Mormon faith were very specific ideology differences in order to rile up evangelicals against Romney. Huckabee jabs, then takes this ‘good guy, I didn’t mean to’ stance, knowing the damage has already been done and he comes out LOOKing like the more moral man. What a bunch of crap he has been pulling. I am floored that Huckabee got anything from NH voters!

Mitt Romney brings the most breadth of knowledge, best solution oriented approach to what is facing America. He brings people from all sides to the table, gets the best information and makes successful, critical decisions. Watch Greta’s conversation with him on the Mitt Mobile to learn more about his Foreign Policy approach. Watch all 3 parts to the video. It’s a GREAT look at him. He shares his stance on terrorism and I think it would have helped a lot of people in NH who voted for McCain just because of his military/foreign policy experience. It’s curious that these clips weren’t more visible on the website during the Iowa and NH voting. Fox?? Romney is a dignified leader who can work with the international community. His experience in the Olympics may even help other world leaders respect him.

McCain has some good character, although he seemed to relish a little too much in jabbing Romney on the debates. He can be bull-headed like Bush though. He’ll stand up to people or go against the grain, but that’s only good if he’s fighting for your exact point of view. I don’t think he would be any more effective in working with the international community than Bush has been.

In debates McCain avoids talking about what he plans to do about all the illegals already here. He focuses on a fence and securing the border only. That’s because he wants us to forget that his immigration bill really does offer a type of amnesty that won’t deter more illegals from coming. It doesn’t punish people who have broken OUR federal laws. This is just one summary of his bill:

It’s scary to see American’s voting for pastors, candidates they admire because of war experience, or because they ‘like his smile’ and ‘think he would be a comforting president’ (Obama). Do you realize that we need a strong leader?! This next President is CRUCIAL to our future. I agree that a vote for any other Republican OTHER THAN Romney is helping the Democrats. A Democrat will get America on it’s way to socialism. Europe is seeing the effects of socialism and they are starting to turn away from it and voting in conservatives.

I especially appreciate the comments on here from Canadians. They have a different society and yet are close enough to be knowledgable spectators of our country. LISTEN to them! Don’t listen to the media or their biased commentators (know who these people work for before you listen to their stance!). Listen to individual, respectable sources. How does Romney having some democratic supporters make him not a conservative.

I can see people being leary of Romney that he has had his eyes on the White House for some time. So what? Realize that every one running or who has ever run for presidnet has had his/her eyes on the White House. It is usually because they want to be in a position to make things better. Does being rich and white really mean he will not be an excellent President? I’d rather have my brilliant employer run the country than my hick co-worker who steals condiments from the break-room. (Yes, Huckabee really did steal furniture from the Governor’s mansion). Romney is wealthy, but don’t forget that he didn’t take pay for his governorship or the Olympics and he tithes 10% of his income! Does income really have any bearing on the characteristics we need as a leader– yes, he has been successful in his endeaveors…

I can see Romney has a tendency to exaggerate, but it’s out of enthusiasm more than it is calculated deception. When he is called on it, he admits fault. What more can you ask for? On the other hand, Huckabee has said “oh, I don’t know anything about the Mormon faith?”, when he was a main speaker at a Baptist seminar in SLC which was designed to refute Mormon doctrine and convert Mormons. Don’t you think you need to know their doctrine if you are going to try to discuss it and refute it with them? Isn’t that kind of false statement a little more alarming and telling than Romney’s slip about seeing ‘more change in the next ten years than we’ve seen in the past century’ or whatever?

The other arguments about Romney being too perfect etc. are just absurd. I like what another writer wrote about the fact that Romney’s got all 5 sons strongly supporting him and they are a close-knit family. Watch them. That says alot about the way he has lived his life.

KEEP UP the support. Polls show that people BELIEVE Romney will get the nomination, but it won’t happen in a vacuum. You have to get out there and VOTE for him!! I can’t do any more from Iowa (yet!)
