Go Mitt! Our country needs you!

The way Mitt Romney is running his campaign is ingenious. I am an avid chess-player and I am stuck to the tube and blogs to see how this will play out. Romney is destroying the old corrupt political system which plays out every four years for as long as we all can remember. Presidential candidates were ultimately decided by cloak-room politicians predetermining the win by selecting the early contest states that must be won for a winner to emerge. Some may say Romney is cheating by not playing “fair” by the old school rules; however, he is simply playing the cards in his favor. He is running his campaign in all 50 states giving the people of every state a voice in electing their next Presidential candidate. This is Democracy at it’s finest. I love it! I have heard too often people complain how they never even got to vote for their candidate because of the way the caucases are set up. It’s brilliant and amazingly enough it appears to be working. Romney is winning by a large margin. No wonder Romney is so respected. He is always taking such innovative approaches to everything he does.

In my own opinion, I really hope Floridians give Mitt Romney a chance.

We are headed for an all out recession, far worse than we saw in the 80’s because of the housing and loan scandals due to scandalous lenient lending practices since 2003.

There are only about .000001% of Americans as qualified as Mitt Romney to lead the American Corporation to economic prosperity (one of them is Warren Buffet but he’s not on the ballot).

Mitt Romney is the only candidate the media takes seriously. When they ask him what he would do to turn the nation around they don’t expect sound-bites, because they know he has the answers. Even Jim Kramer respects him enough to bring him on his show and ask those tough questions. People that are really knowledgeable all respect the guy. Do you know who really was behind the surge in Iraq plan? It came from the Generals fighting the war in Iraq. We had so many problems with the war because Donald Rumsfeld was trying to micro-manage the war. Romney knows business-101. He knows that you never micro-manage anything. You bring the best qualified people together (which would include mostly the military Generals of course) and chart a course and get the job done, and he has a very strong record that backs it up.

I see great times ahead with that kind of leadership, the roaring 90’s all over again but better because of no bubble at the end due to improper management of our economy. Being an average American, I have already pledged my money to his campaign, and I know that was the best investment I made in my life.

We don’t have to concede to China to overtake us and replace us as the world super-power in 10 years. We can vote Romney for President!!!
GO MITT GO!!!

Let the races begin…

I am amazed people aren’t paying more attention to Mitt Romney.

I really have yet to understand why so many think that McCain is the big front runner among conservatives. All of his good showings have been in states where they have open primaries. In other words, independents have been the ones fueling his campaign. Conservatives can’t stand McCain, and for good reason too. His support of things like the amnesty bill, McCain Feingold combined with his opposition to the Bush tax cuts and other actual conservative issues, in my opinion make him a liberal in conservatives clothing.

Republicans beware with McCain, he still remains unapologetic about a lot of his past stances on issues and I can guarantee that a vote for McCain is a vote for the resurrection of the amnesty bill and probably a whole lot more that will make conservatives mad.

But it was a great night for the unelectable Ron Paul….right Carl? lol

I believe Fred Thompson’s plan all along was to take votes from Mike Huckabee,
for McCain. I’m not saying McCain was in on this, I don’t know.
But, I think from the very begining Thompson was a hopeful vice-president of McCains, should McCain get the nomination.
It seems funny he didn’t care to jump in when everyone else did and he wasn’t putting any effort into his campagin, until the the S.C. debates when he really started attacking Huckabee and then went behind him in S.C. to pick up enough votes to keep Huckabee from first place.
Thompson is nothing but a dirty politican. Should McCain get the presidency and pick Thompson, then we all will know for sure what went on in S.C.
I for one that am a Republican, will not vote for McCain if that happens to be the case.

Lets see, Mitt Romney wins Nevada and delegates that go with it and its all about McCain as the front runner. Interesting. Last time I checked, Romney was the leader in overall delegates. I’d love to see Giuliani declare it a two man race between he and McCain when he hasn’t even registered on the radar to this point and McCain is trailing Romney in delegates.

As for Huckabee, sounds to me like he is kissing McCain’s butt in hopes of becoming his Vice Presidential candidate since he has already burned all his bridges with the Romney camp. McCain may be a angry and tempermental old man but he isn’t stupid. Putting Huckabee on the ticket would take away from the legitimacy of his candidacy and make it easier for the Dems to win a general election.

I am hopeful that Duncan Hunter will come out and support Mitt Romney. Romney is the last person with a strong illegal immigration policy left in contention for the nomination thus I think a Hunter nomination would be appropriate. It might not bring a lot of attention much as the media has ignored Hunter a lot during the campaign, but it could help Romney in California.

I am hopeful that Fred Thompson despite his long friendship with John McCain will see that McCain really has little to no chance of defeating Clinton or Obama in the November election. Fred knows his friend and knows that McCain’s record has not been as good as it should be in matters of budget, spending and taxes. I am hopeful that Fred will realize what is best for the nation and choose to support Mitt Romney. This would give Romney a boost in the South which he needs to help overcome the prejudices some have against Romney’s religion.

Florida will be the decider for John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. McCain needs a more broad appeal win than NH and SC in order to really be a contender. He really needs to win in multiple states that doesn’t allow independents to vote in the primaries to truly be a contender in November. Giuliani needs his first win. Rudy however does have some broad appeal in other larger states, and thus a second place finish in Florida I think could still serve him well, but he needs to be in the top 3 at least in Florida.

John McCain really needs a win in Florida, without such I do not think he will be able to move on in the process. Romney can lose florida and still remain in contention, Giuliani could come in second or third and still do well enough in CA and NY to be a major contender. If Romney wins Florida then there will be little to stop him from becoming the eventual nominee. Giuliani if he wins will still have a tough road to become the nominee as would McCain.

Huckabee really has no chance at this point of being the nominee, the only purpose for him remaining in the race is that he probably is hoping for a VP nod. The main problem with that is he’s antagonized a good part of the base and the western centers of the GOP and thus his participation on the ticket might do more harm than good. However he might make a good boost to a campaign willing to offer an olive branch and a cabinet position. Despite his comments in the past about Romney’s faith, the best opportunity for him to serve might be in a Romney administration. I’m not so sure McCain would be as forgiving of events in SC as Romney would be for the religious comments. (Prior to this I thought Huckabee might make a good running mate for McCain but the last few days in SC has made me change that opinion). He might serve well as Secretary of Health and Human Services or as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

We won’t really know McCain’s, Romney’s and Giuliani’s chances until probably after Super Tuesday. However I really see little reason for Thompson or Huckabee to remain in the race at this point. If the last projections are correct it is likely Romney will get the most delagates, followed by Giuliani, and then McCain a distant third.

At least the new early caucuses and primaries shook things up, which we needed. I’d say the idea was a good one. It might even help the later states that are normally ignored as folks may need the delegates this time around.

No Comments?

Gee I wonder why? Wheres Ron Paul’s 2nd place report? Your not bad because dr Paul smoked you atthe debate are you. I usally watch you but your tone and sarcastic question to Mr Paul I found offensive. I USED to watch fox newsalot, but you people ar getting to big for your britches. I stil watch fox and fiends least they still act normal the rest of you are far from fair and balanced. I used to like hannity and colmes but sean is reading to much of is own press and his bias to rudy and fred is apparent. hannity was rude to mccain and when mcain said i didnt chang my position hannity sat there like a weasle. If that was Dr paul sean woulda came unglued. Hannity would rather prosecute the so called war on terror than take care of our own orders.

Therefore I get my news from google fom here on out

Romney not out of it? By any objective measure he is clearly in the lead. Fox has cherry picked deligate counts which repress the logical deligate count. Romney has 72 which actually seems weighted low in NV, McCain has 38, Huckabee has 29, Thompson has 8, Paul has 6, Giuliani has 2. The press and especially Fox (which appears to be working on a very strong pro McCain, and anti Romney, even mildly anti Giuliani bias) has arbitrarily and artificially put more weight on chosen state contests, disenfrachizing other states who’s citizens are arguably (sad we should have to make the argument) as good as any others.

Romney has won 3 “Golds”, which are much larger than McCains wins (even Romneys 2nd in Iowa got nearly twice the deligates McCain got in New Hampshire). He has 2 strong 2nd place “Silvers”. And While McCain is touted as the “comeback kid” (even though he’s older than any other president has been) … Romney came from nearly no where, a pretty much unknown who had much less weight in the polls until he came upon the scene recently, and of course Huckabee was in the same boat.

Had this race been covered with more objectivity and balance it’s doubtful that McCain would be seen by anyone as a front runner, or would even have won what he did, as a media favoritism is worth more than any candidate can ever raise, and it’s something that shouldn’t happen because it’s not fair to the candidates, and especially not fair to the voters because it distorts and corrupts the democratic process. The press takes on way to much power when this type of biased coverage is applied … provisions for freedom of the press in the constitution never envisioned this type of institutional abuse, nor the power fostered and developed by the press interests in the country which was done basically through what could be seen as extortion, to apply this kind of control to abuse our country’s democratic election process.

Cameron’s pro McCain bias is obvious, and more than a little disturbing. That lack of objectivity should be reserved for those working in his campaign, not those who are responsible for objective reporting on all the campaigns. I don’t think the others, especially Romney and Giuliani are being treated fairly, mostly there seems to be a real dislike for Romney though, and an obvious bias against him in Carl’s reporting.

So. The political equivalent of the writers strike. Maybe we’ll all be so glad they’re gone we won’t care what happens in Florida? It really does seem like a very long way to November. I’m sick of most of these people already. If Fred endorses McCain instead of Romney I will be extremely disappointed in him. I will feel I totally misjudged him.

Funny how no comments which were all legitimate opinion backed up by logic and real happenings exampled have gotten through on any of Cameron’s articles, but I have been recording my comments and will expose the fact that they are being censored on this forum to whoever I need to in order to bring this to light. I really dislike biased reporting, and intend to do what I can to stop it when ever possible. A shame it should come to this with FOX News of all networks … but Fox is also more vulnerable to critisism than the others because there are powerful people (who are also hipocrites) out there with a real problem with Fox, but if Fox can’t honestly be fair and balanced it deserves to be taken to task for it. You have an audiance who will not tolerate corruption like the audiances of the other networks do, same problem the republicans have, because of the same group of people.

Not a mention of Dr. Ron Paul in your biasd article. He is handily double Giuliani in most states and has more delegates. Imagine if your so called ‘fair and balanced’ reporting realy was… A reasonably equal press coverage would have certainly given the voters this one more option.Shame on Fox, sad when I have to resort to ABC to get any news on Dr. Paul.

Good morning – A few complainers about the coverage on thier specific candidates aside (you will always get some of that)I have routinely turned to Fox first to see what is going on. Personally I would be satisfied with either McCain or Huck. I am not against Romney but do believe he tens to change way to often and to me appears to pander to the crowd. I also question his real appeal to mainstream America – so much money spent, he actually should be doing much better. While Mac and Huck vary quite a bit on some core issues, I could support either due to my perception of real integrity, intelligence and patriotism they both embody. Whether you see yourself as a Republican or perhaps an Independent or more conservative Dem, Mac simply stated has the best chance of any to beat either Hillary or Obama. I believe Obama to be an honest and intelligent man – I just do not agree with his politics at all. Hillary is a Clinton – they should both be in jail in my opinion. Semper FI

i agree with omega,
the msm which now includes fox is gunning for mccain. they disregard the voters wishes and try to push their candidate i.e. mccain/clinton down our throats.

as a wife and mom, i’ll stay home before i vote for either of these candidates. if i want to vote for a real liberal i’d vote in the dem party. why vote for a rino who has dissed christian and conservative voters time and time again.

when he called robertson and the late falwell agents of intolerance, that told me what he thought about all christians.

i’d like to know what piece of legislation mccain has signed onto with republicans that didn’t take our rights away.

Count me as another who is looking elsewhere for my news. “Fair and Balanced”: NOT!!! Once again, Fox demonstrates its bias by omitting Dr. Ron Paul, dispite his garnering a greater quantity of votes and delegates on a consistant basis over Rudy Giuliani.
I’ve already cast my ballot early here in Florida…Please, Bill McCollum, stop spamming me with those annoying ‘vote Rudy” prerecorded calls now!

Romney is clearly the only one who cares equally about why each state is given a certain number of delegates. The media trys to put extra weight on wins that favor their candidates even when the number of delegates is small.

Mitt will win the presidency because he is the only one with true promise to turn Washington around!!! We need a turn around expert and CEO in the White House. Someone with good values and smart. Top of his class at Harvard Business and Law schools!!! Help start Target, Dominoes Pizza. Got insurance for hundreds of thousands of citizens in Mass. while getting Mass. back in control of it finances.

GO ROMNEY AS EQUAL CITIZENS FROM EVERY STATE WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS TO LET EACH STATE AND EACH CITIZEN HAVE A SAY IN THE NOMINATING PROCESS!!!!

[...] so it’s on to Florida for the McCain campaign, where Rudy Giuliani is strong and where Mitt Romney will no doubt scorch [...]

Huckabee will end up in La Casa Blanca when there is a BBQ for all the former loser candidates, hosted by Rudy and Condi.

Huckabee peaked mid-December, and now that the facts have come out, and he’s shown himself to be a liberal, unprepared, dishonest, and unserious, his poll numbers are heading back to the asterisk territory from which he came.

One slick-talking, undisciplined, naive governor from Arkansas per century, please!

Carl, why is it you say the only thing Mitt has going for him is money? By the way McCain and Guilani have spent almost as much money. He has an amazing message and plan and it is about time you gave him credit for it. He has the ecomonic experience turning around MA economy and has a plan to keep America out of a recession.

Mark my words he will do well in the heartland MO, KS, OH and continue to do well out west. He will compete well in the Northeast where he Goverened. He will also do well in FL and some of the southern states where there is less of a anti-Mormon Baptist bigotry influence. I wonder what your excuse will be when Mitt is still in first in delgates after Feb 5th.

Fox News discounted Romneys win in NV as others not competing. There is a reason they didn’t compete because Mitts message there hit home. If every Mormon had stayed home he still would have won by 20+ points. Romney didn’t compete in SC so why not discount McCains win.

McCain just spoke on CNN and during the interview said he planned to win FL because they are a patriotic state. Basicly saying that if he loses a state its because they are not patriotic. What a slap in the face to MI, NV and Wyoming.

Wow this reporter on CNN is really calling him out …mentioning only 30% of republicans voted for him and how does he plan to get the republican vote in order to win states where independants cant vote for him. Way to go CNN. In McCains reply he said the SC primary winner has been the candidate since 1980. I guess we should just call of the rest of the elections and crown him now. He is taking voters for granted and like Hillary is running on the inevitablily platform without a plan to fix americas problems. Mitt has a plan to fix the economy…McCain doesnt. Mitt has a plan to fix immigration…McCain offers Amnesty. Mitt is for conservative Judges …McCain has gang of 14 with Dems to pick moderate Judges. I beleive both will be strong on security..in fact every president takes americas security seriously.

McCain says he knows how to get Bin Laden and he will do it…If he knows how to get him why is he keeping it a secret and putting america in danger. The reason is he doesn’t have any new ideas..our military is trying as hard as they can to get him and to say they aren’t doing everything possible is a slap in the face to them.

McCain says as president he will make authors of earmarks famous…why hasn’t he done it up to now? He could get on Fox News everytime there is a budget passed and proclaim who is getting earmarks and doesn’t.

He will say anything to get elected and deliver nothing. Mitt is results oriented look at everything he has done in the corporate world, the olympics and as Gov of MA. He has spent his life making lemonade out of lemons. Mit is a copassionate family man. McCain just has the sour looks and dispositions like he lives off lemons.

Romney 08 ..Go Mitt

Why would anyone want an OLD man for a president? Geez, one would always need to wonder if he was in good health and in my opinion, he’s not.

Plus, do I want him giving illegals amensty? He still believes they should.

Hi Carl,
I agree ( about the concession speech an attempt at the short list), but McCain – Lieberman is the ticket I would most like to see. Talk about a net gain in democratic crossover voters, he is perfectly compatible for McCain, and would be a great choice for president in the future as well.

Both parties have the kind of campaign contests that the media should love. Super Tuesday–as defined by the media will be the true test of all of these candidates. Romney has the money to compete–but I am not sure about McCain and Guiliani if there is a three-way virtual tie in Florida. Florida will definitely be a test for the three GOP campaigns as far as being able to reach out to diverse constituencies. Unless McCain or Guiliani come out of FL with a clear win–40% of the vote or more, they will have problems raising money and being able to compete in the Super Tuesday states. There will only be one week between FL and Super Tuesday–so the campaigns will have to rely on the media attention from the win in FL–which will last for about 48 hours in the news cycle at best and TV ad buys–and in the those Super Tuesday states–that is big bucks. Romney has the funding to do this. McCain is still playing catch up and Guiliani’s strategy of Florida, Florida, Florida, has hurt his fundraising efforts as well. Huckabee does not have the money to compete in FL and knows it–which is why he returned to Little Rock last night rather than heading to FL. He and Thompson will be jockeying to put themselves into a VP positon. The three GOP frontrunners–Romney, McCain, and Guiliani –whichever the nominee will be, will most likely choose a Southerner for the VP spot on the ticket and Huckabee and Thompson have always known this.

These are just a few of the obvious reasons Romney is the most electable candidate for the Republican party.
1. We need his economic expertise and experience creating and holding jobs. He has real world experience dealing in today’s global marketplace. Without a strong economy, nothing else works. Romney is or best hope to grow our economy. Many people consider Romney an economic genius.
2. Romney has a history of asking the right questions, listening intently, evaluating carefully and decisively LEADING. He brings new vision, efficiency, and energy to every endeavor
3. Romney has impeccable integrity and high standards. He is absolutely trustworthy.
4. Romney stands firmly in support of our constitution. He supports states rights and individual rights. He is committed to the preservation of our freedoms.
5. Romney is strong on education. While his was governor, Massachusetts students ranked #l in the nation in education. He will encourage innovation in technology and research and development to find answers to the energy crisis. Romney is an exceedingly intelligent man and proven problem solver!
6. Romney is committed to a strong national defense. He will protect our borders and keep our nation safe. He is also an excellent negotiator.
7. Romney will work to ensure our laws are enforced, our borders are secure, and illegal immigration is controlled.
8. Romney is a self-made man who owes no one favors. He will bring fresh voices and new ideas to the table. Romney will bring dignity and respect to the office of President.
9. Romney is a committed family man. He supports socially conservative values and walks the walk in his personal life.
10. Romney has strong grass roots support all across the west. He is an excellent strategist and a winner.

A VOTE FOR ROMNEY IS AN INTELLIGENT VOTE FOR A STRONG AND HEALTHY AMERICA

Explain please McCain’s front-runner status when he’s behind Romney in both wins and delegates.

One line on Romney, buried deep in the article. Even though he crushed every one else in Nevada, and picked up more delegates than John McCain.

He’s still leading the pack with delegates, and votes!

Yep Carl, he is still “very much in it” and although it might make you cry, MITT ROMNEY IS GOING TO WIN THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION!!!

MITT ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT!!

Omegahpla is 100% correct. Even the Communist News Network gives Romney more credit than FOX News does. “Fair and balanced?” What a joke!

The Dick Morris/Fox News type Republicans are so blinded by their hatred of Hillary, they want us to sell our souls by giving up on conservative candidates like Huckabee, Thompson, and Romney. This is because they think that McCain is the only one who can beat her in the General Election. After selling out the Republican base, these pseudo-conservatives are going to be in for a big shock when Hillary wipes the floor with McCain over his “100 years in Iraq” policy. Guess what? IT DOESN’T MATTER IF THE SURGE IS WORKING! “THE SURGE” can’t last forever. Democrats and most Republicans don’t want to stay in Iraq; period. “The Surge” is not going to win this for McCain. It will be his downfall. It’s time to pray for McCain’s downfall NOW, before FOX makes sure he gets the nomination.

One more thing. Does anyone remember that John Kerry asked McCain to be his running mate (before John Edwards) four years ago? And, McCain took awhile to think about it!

Carl: A question. We debate about who will win the nominations, but is there a passion for any of the candidates, really? I sense that no candidate is actually wanted by the public. (www.LeastObjectionable.com). As a nation, we deserve better than pandering people who need votes to reinforce their sense of self.

Did someone actually suggest that Romney has the best chance to beat the liberals come November ? This is not a difficult issue to reseach. Any objective analysis would place Romney right above Huckabee as the least electable candidate. The liberals freely admit this. The most electable candiate would have to be McCain, Guliani or Fred (my favorite). Since Huck has taken Fred’s votes, it’s really down to McCain or Guliani. I’m a Southern Baptist and a grad of the largest Baptist univ. in the world. Huck is a great speaker and I’d like to attend a sermon of his someday. But, look at his record. He is no conservative. He’s no conservative Southern Baptist (ask Paul Pressler and others who know). And bringing up Romney’s religion and basing so much of his campaign on self rightous rhetoric is profoundly un-Christian. The left media has a field day with him come November. I don’t like McCain, but he and Guliani (my second choice and the only one who can stop McCain now) are both honest and electable. That’s saying something is these very anti-Republican times. They will keep my family safe ! A Huckabee nomination will produce a liberal landslide, thereby creating an avalance of liberal legislation and judges that we have not seen for a long time (1964-1968).

I’m amazed that I’m writing this. I stopped reading cnn because of the last biased election. Now I’m annoyed at Fox for the same thing. I agree with the previous poster, Romney is holding on? McCain is coming back? Am I missing something? Where am I supposed to hear what’s really going on anymore? I go to Digg.com and get inundated with Ron Paul crap, which as I can see by the numbers he’s not even a real contestant, I hear about Giuliani as if he’s practically elected on foxnews only to find that they’ve been inflating him up beyond what America thinks of him. I wouldn’t consider myself a Romney supporter but I’d like to know if I’m wasting my time on a candidate that doesn’t have a snow balls chance. My last rant and then I’ll leave this, I know way too much about Ron Paul and Giuliani, information that is irrelevant as neither will be our candidate.

It is a sad day for S.C. Huckabee should have won. Thompson was the stumbling block.
He will reap what he sow.

REFERENCE NAVADA, HAS ANYONE INVESTIGATED TO ASCERTAIN THAT POSSIBLY BILL MAY
HAVE PURCHASED THOSE INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE A STATEMENT AS TO WHAT HAPPENED TO
THEM IN ORDER TO MAKE A FUSS FOR HILLERY TO BEAT OBAMA? WHEN DEALING WITH THE
CLINTONS A LITTLE DIGGING WILL USUALLY FIND OUT THERE IS SOMETHING ROTTEN AND ITS
NOT IN DENMARK…..

Carl – you wouldn’t have a problem with a Romney concession speech. Your reporting is pathetically biased towards McCain and Huckabee. You and FOX are “Anyone but Romney!”
Fox used to be my home page and my source for news, its longer the case after watching the endless biased spin.

I really believe among other things that the candidates are putting out there, where does McCain stand on gun control, from what I read from him gun owners better beware, why doesn’t the press bring things like this up, I still also believe that Fred Thompson was another Ross Perot, a shill

WHERE DOES MCCAIN STAND ON GUN CONTROL? FROM WHAT I HAVE READ HE IS NOT ALL PRO GUN. WHY IS THIS NOT BROUGHT UP IN THE DEBATES OR THE NEWS?

McCain will be the destructin of the Republican part. As conservative, I’ve been upset with President Bushes reckless spending. McCain is not a repbulican. Let’s not forget that Kerry was looking into having McCain be Kerry’s running Mate. The headlines or McCain should be – open borders, Amnesty to all, more taxes, more spendig, bigger government. Just because McCain was a POW does not mean that he is tough on on terrorism. McCain help destroy qualified judges because they didn’t follow his liberal ideology. The fight on terrorism has many fronts, one of which is the federal court system. Forget about John’s words – what are his actions? If he gets the nomination I will vote for Bloomberg. If Mike isn’t in the race, I would rather vote for Hillary – at least I know what she will do, rather than the flip flopping McCain – does anyone really think that he is conservative?

Huckeby is equally distastful. More taxes, the government takng care of us (more like a police state) and turning the checkbook over to Mexico. Hello Mike- we don’t care if an ILLEGAL is educated – get them out of the country. Help legal immegrants not ILLEGAL.

Mitt – you can run a business. People voted for Corzine in NJ for the same reason, and we’ve gotten hosed. Your changing voice for each state doesn’t show, consistency or trust worthiness. Why should I believe anything that you say when it’s a diferent Mitt for each state.

Rudi -As a Jersey resident, I appreciate your effort. My first day working in NYC I saw rats in the streets. You clean he vermine out of the city, so I know that you can clean the government. Your double speak about Illegals is amusing. Where is your condemnation for Bloomberg when he said that the city couldn’t survive without illegals? What is your plan to shrink the federal government? Socially you’re off the charts liberal, let’s hear some more about how you would change Washington

Fred- The only conservative in the race, I don’t understand why people don’t support you.

Ron Paul – You brought up a great point in the debate that no on would respond to. The Republicans used to stand for: Smaller government, less regulation, less spending, more state’s rights, and protecting our borders.

While getting a cup of coffee this AM,I had a conversation with someone else who was buying a $1 cup of coffee. There is a general distrust of each of the candidates. He was a vet and would never vote for McCain. The overall point regarding each of the candidates is that they are all out of touch with reality. In a deja vu moment – can any of them tell us the price of a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk or even a tank full of gas?

This election is a slim picking of bad and worse options – And people don’t understand why Mike Bloomberg’s candidacy isn’t viable?

While getting a cup of coffee at the local convenience store this Am, I had a conversation with someone who was also getting a cup. We both are disgusted with the race this year. The reason being – the field of candidates are bad and worse. Unfortunately, as an individual without vast resources, no one in the political process listens, hopefully someone will see this posting and think about the comments.
The ideal platform is to seal the border, round up and deport all illegals, fine employers and landlords that aid and abed the illegals (fines plus jail time), cut taxes, cut the government’s size, reduce the deficit and protect America. If you haven’t figured it out already no one in the US is in want of health care. I can walk into a hospital without health insurance and receive care for free – it’s called indigent care – it’s not meant for everyone so don’t try to make it for everyone. I can do a better job of helping the needy in my community – don’t take money from my paycheck, add your overhead and give it to some organization I would never want to support. The money, without excessive overheads will go to those organizations that actually help people.
John McCain. John you’re out of touch. Open borders, amnesty, increased government (yes – have you ever thought about what your silly little liberal legislation costs), and silencing your opponents (destroying the public square with your “finance reform” – new speak for hand cuffing anyone who you don’t agree with) is so against mainstream it’s not funny. Your message may play well with liberals but to the Republican Party you are the liberal candidate. I would rather vote for Hillary than you, because she at least has a consistent message and history.
Huckabee. Mike, your raising of taxes, educating illegals, and approving every increase in government is dangerous. Illegals are not entitled to college education. You don’t need to educate them, you need to arrest them and deport them. Let them get an education on their country’s dime not mine.
Mitt – yes you can run a business. Governor Corzine was supposed to be NJ’s savior by bringing business principles to government. We residents of NJ are more taxed, regulated and impacted by corruption as any time before. Mitt you need to demonstrate how you will change the status quo.
Rudy – Great job in NYC – how do you plan on fixing the federal government? I dislike your social positions but like your no hold barred action.
Fred – you are the only conservative – You never got your message out. It’s a shame that you missed the opportunity.
Ron Paul – It was an embarrassment how you were treated in the debate on Fox. I thought it was telling that none of the candidates tried to disagree with your statement about the Republican Party – smaller government, lower taxes, less regulation, sealed borders. It was very telling that no one had the gumption to address your points.
There is significant discussion that McCain will get the nomination. If he does, he will never win in November. There will be droves of conservatives running to Bloomberg. If Mike doesn’t run then we will vote for Hillary. Better to vote for the devil you know rather than the devil you don’t. Although she has a platform so far left, at least she has the decency to hold to her values.

CArl- you stated last night in your coverge of McCain that he had 2 back to back wins- one in New Hampshire and now in South Carolina! Luckily I wasn’t holding anything in my hands cause I would have chucked it at your head in the television. Back to back wins???? Hello!!! Did you forget about Michigin and Nevada??? Romney wins!!!! Why do those not count? If any one else had won those states, surely they wouldn’t have been dismissed so easily. But the media’s(Fox included) continued disdain for Romney is soooooo obvious, it is retarded! When is Fox going to get on board? Or are they courting McCain as the Left media is because he is as left as one can get and still be a republican? What about being fair and unbiased? Good for McCain to be the “Comeback” Candidate… or whatever, but give credit where credit is due and Romney deserves a heck of a lot more credit and coverage than he is currently receiving.

I agree Kurt, about Carls question to Ron Paul, it was disrespectful. I don’t see Ron as anything more than a bad cartoon character, who’s shrill rhetoric is often disengenuous, but the man deserves some respect until he flips out on some out of whack fantasy diatribe, and so shows he deserves a corrective response. Like when the guy went off on “all these guys are ready to go to war” in his high nasal whine, and Britt asked him since all of the others said it was right not to fire on the speed boats, who the heck he was talking about? Ron Paul is a joke, but reporters should maintain some objectivity as that is their job, and if they can’t do that they really need another job.

I personally was hoping one of the candidates would say we should have gone from that incident with those boats and completely anyalated anything Iran had in their country that floats. If it were my option I would have. They would have thought twice next time. That kind of thing makes for the most wonderful and successful diplomatic talks, even with fanatics. And another note, I would have blown up every oil well and refinery in Iran for sending people in to help with blowing up Iraqi oil wells. I think Amdumeanyjihad or whatever his stupid name is would look better sucking eggs than issuing threats and depending on and drawing strength from the politically driven morally bankrupt anti war for political reasons hate Bush fanatical idiots in our own country. Some of whom are simply stupid, and some of whom are actually and with real intent, sedicious in their anti US actions which are nothing but a quest for power.

There is no doubt that the choice is either Rudy or McCain. I think McCain is a good guy but he’s been in Washington for almost a quarter of a century. I think he’s had his shot to make anything happen and he hasn’t. Rudy put Republican ideals to work in a city where “republican” was synonymous with evil and came out on top!

As for “Momentum”, thats just a code word the media uses for getting you to vote for the guy they like and have chosen to cover. Quite frankly I respect SC’s choice and thats about it. Iowa was full of hard-right conservatives, NH was liberal independents and MI was Romney home turf. Why should I base my perception of who is electable on their idea of who is electable? 4 states out of 50 have voted and NONE of them have the delegates and sway of Florida! SC may have the streak of electiong the nominee for the last 24 years but no GOP candidate has won the white house without Florida since 1924!!!! THATS WHY FLORIDA IS KEY!!!

RUDY 2008!!

Carl, my friend, you’re losing my as a viewer and fan with your spin for McCain. It’s about time you lighten up and give the Mitt Romney campaign fair and balanced coverage. I’ve hung tough with you for years, but enough is enough! Are you losing it??
Jon

McCain cant beat ron rue paul in Nevada cant win without democrats crossing over who wont vote for him in the general election has lobbysts in charge running his campaign on chris wallaces own show sez forcing Musharrif to go after binladen is a bad idea now will go after him “to the gates of hell” the poor guy cant remember how much money (2bill one debate 6billion the next) and is still pushing mraps which cant stop sovet bombers (john blackmarket weapons fight the war on terror not ideaologies, diesel subs, su-47 berkuts, su-37 terminater, 3 mile ranged antitank weapons, in lebanon Israel couldnt cross a valley) no Navy left in Pensacola except the sunken Oriskany, Lexington gone Entrprise gone Forrestall in Texas so Bud Day is bussing people here to Fort walton Beach to the confrence center (pushed Huckabe out of his date) to make a crowd appear where the Hurlburt AFB Eglin AFB the New Home of the Green Beret and EOD is, the poor Rangers are still in TENTS at Duke fieldfrom Hurricane Ivan and funding for the Fisher House is on hold untill BRAC 91 (Fort Marcy a fort with a moat and golfcorse for congress to play golf at and still no VA Hospital for Hurlburt Eglin? come up to the Air Force musieum and see the New Memorial to the Fallen Soldiers that would have stood a better chance had you not held up the STRYKER.

Get the 50 year old helicopters transports tankers and bombers off of the batlefield before they take more SOLDIERS LIVES . Have a nice day! berkut

Campaign Carl (cute moniker there dude, just like your cheezy “grin”, right)…Carl…after all the FOX News coverage of the NBC reporter (Williams) being a CHEERLEADER for a particular candidate, and working hard to minimize any other candidate’s accomplishments, and even misquote/misstate their positions…I’d think you wouldn’t CONTINUE to blatantly do the exact same thing in the Republican Primaries. You brazenly carry the Pom Poms for a McCain/Huckabee ticket out in the open…dissing/dismissing the likes of Thmpson/Romney/Paul ad the rest continually You almost seem angry and yes, even somewhat spiteful/hateful whenever someone like Mitt Romney gains any traction ANYWHERE…you, sir… are neither fair, nor balanced in any respect. At all. And if FOX keeps the likes of YOU onboard…I’m going elsewhere for my primary source of “news”. Good day to you “sir”. Republicans have much better options than you…”sir”. CNN is now appearing much more “balanced”, and “fair”.

Signed…and EX-Murdoch customer.

Wow, all that and not a word about Ron Paul… you know, the guy doing better than Rudy G. I’m also getting the impression that Fox News is about as fair & balanced as CNN. It doesn’t seem to matter which party is in power because they both spend our money and the govt larger. I’d like to see some small govt for a while. OBTW, everyone still remembers that Florida is still in 2 time zones, yes?

Faux news distorts yet again, listing #’s 1,3,4 for Nevada when Ron Paul takes 2nd place, but you ignore it again. This graphic pretty much says it all…

http://www.ronpaulforpresident2008.com/images/nvqo0.jpg

I mean at least change your name to “Biased against Ron Paul news” just be honest you shape the news, ignore the facts, and push your brand of spin whenever you can. When the New World Order takes over, sadly they will run you under their wheels when your usefulness runs out. Try to think beyond todays pay and think of the future for your family, all the kids they will destroy, and all the people they will enslave! Lets try to wake up and restore America to its intent. Ron Paul is the only one who follows Barry Goldwater/Ludwig Von mises & Ronald Reagan principles, lives them, and does his best to be truthful. But since he’s not polished or paid off its hard to print such things.

As the Repubican candidates head down to FL, the establishment should remember not to be so ideologically purist as this election cycle is different.

How would Reagan withstand todays conservative perfectionism and ideological frisking that takes place with Republican candidates in ‘08?

http://thepoliticalpost.wordpress.com/2008/01/20/the-real-reagan-and-modern-day-conservative-purists/

Voted for amnesty for illegal immigrants,voted against english being the official language,voted against bush tax cuts ‘twice’,voted against the marrige amenment,voted for campaign finance reform,alines himself with liberals like Ted Kennedy, and oh by the way had a affair when he was married,sounds like a conservitive to you?Not me!”Stright talk friends,John Mccain is a BIG LIBERAL and he cant be trusted!!!!!!!!

JR and other McCain backers. If your logic to your voting perferences is to try to outguess who will beat the Democrats, it is not a good strategy. The Republican Party base is Conservative. And the conservatives will never vote for McCain or any other liberal in a so called attempt to beat the Democrats. It will never happen. The only reason that McCain won NH is because the Independents and Democrats voted for him and the conservative vote was split. The only reason that McCain won SC is that the Independents and the Democrats voted for him and the conservative vote was split.

But if you combined the split conservative vote, you would have a candidate and the votes to make it happen. If the Huckabee followers continue to not see that clearly Romney is the front runner for the conservative movement, we will not only end up with a Republican, McCain, who has voted more times for the Democrats than the Republicans, we will end up with a Democrat in the White House. Most Republicans would rather stay home and let the Democrats take the blame for what will happen to our country, then future destroy the conservative movement by putting in a candidate, McCain, who will surely put the coffin in the conservative movement for years to come.

To say nothing of the fact, that Huckabee knows nothing about the economy or he would have never instigated a sales tax on groceries in Arkansas to fix their problems. And he would have never come out in favor of the flawed socialist Fair Tax plan that would have every low income person on a monthly federal check and which would have to take away States rights to implement the plan by having the states collect the tax for the federal government. Which by the way is Unconstitutional.

Romney is clearly the conservative front runner and the conservative choice for president.

Romney is a true conservative?? Come on….look at his record.

While running for the Senate in Mass (94), he called for same sex marriage, now he says he is not for gay marriage, but would accept civil unions.

While running for Governor is was pro-abortion. While running for Gov he said “I fully respect and will fully protect a woman’s right to choose.”

He has supported steam cell research in the past citing it as a way of possibly finding a cure for MS, form which his wife suffers. Now he is against it??

In 2006 Governor Romney supported the President’s immigration policy as well as the McCain-Kennedy bill. He expressed support for an immigration program that places large numbers of illegal residents on the path toward citizenship and said illegal immigrants should have a chance to obtain citizenship.

He even went as far as to say that Republicans that break from the President on this issue are making a “big mistake” according to the Associated Press.

Now he claims to be on the opposite of all these positions. Before you vote…don’t just listen to what they are saying now, go back and look at their record.

Mitt will say anything to get elected. He ran as a left leaning moderate in Mass because that is what the people there wanted. Now we are supposed to believe he did a complete 180 because he wants the conservative vote.

“SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE…BUT…(no pun intended)”
For all of you Republican pundits, crazies, dreamers, and next president of the US wanta-be’s out there here’s a news flash for you…AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!!!! Save your breath, save your money, save your time, save your endless arguments, save your hopeful dreams, save your ill-directed schemes, save your stupid blogs, save your supposed expertise, and above all save your face because there isn’t a chance in hell that this country will actually elect another Republican candidate!! Period!

Has anyone who has half a brain noticed the surge in the Democratic candidates usage of the magic word “CHANGE” in their campaigns? There’s a reason for that peoole! The reason is, that this country is so utterly fed up with “business as usual” that it will elect a woman, a black man…a dog…ANYONE who represents some type of major “CHANGE” in the eyes of the American electorate. And the Democratic candidates know it!! Wake up! Get real! I would bet my life on the fact that it makes absolutely no difference who the Republican’s end up selecting for their ultimate coronation…he stands no chance! Sorry, but this is the hard, cold truth of it.

I am not a registered Dem, so if you’re thinking that I’m just playing politics here…I’m not! I actually like a lot of things about certain of the Republican candidate’s platforms, such as Huckabee’s fair tax plan as well as his thoughts on how to control the illegal immigration problem, for example. Actually, as long as we’re going down this road, I believe that Mike Huckabee’s chances of winning the Republican nomination would be a “cinch” had he not had the whole Baptist thing on his record. This country is becoming so anti-Christ, that this alone has sealed his fate. Sorry all of you so-called “ultra conservative evangelicals” out there. (Who, by the way, are just like you and me…fallen sinners!) This ain’t gonna happen either, no matter how much we like the guy. There just isn’t enough of you anyway to tip the scales of injustice that are so prevalent in our land.

So, where do we go from here? Well…any level-headed person who thinks what I’ve just said through with an unbiased and open mind would have to conclude that:
#1- I am right!
#2- Maybe I shouldn’t “waste” my vote on a Republican?
#3- Maybe “change” would actually be a very good and healthy thing for this country?
#4- Do we really want our next president to be named “Mitt”, for God sake? Come on! Only thing worse would be “Barack”!
#5- Ok…maybe “Hillary” would be the worst! (Do we really want to say that Bill is our “First Man”?)
#6- How bout “Fred”…or “Rudy”? No! (Chants of “Rudy, Rudy…” are NOT coming from the stands I’m afraid!)

The wonderful thing about this country is…that we can all voice our opinion freely and express ourselves in whatever way we want. For this I am very thankful. I hope that the change that will ultimately come for this country is a change in the right direction. What direction we need to go…only God knows. But, undeniably, we will go in an altogether different direction, just wait and see.

i believe mitt rommey can run circles/rings around any of the dem candidates. he has business expertise; has turned the olympics around; started a business (staples) etc. looks presidential; will appeal to younger voters.

now ask yourselves what has clinton, obama, edwards or even mccain ever done in the private sector?

have they ever met a payroll? have they ever started a business or turned others around to be profitable?

Well………………Well

New poll just out from Rasmussen on Florida shows Mitt Romney with 5% lead……..Mitt 25%, McCain20%, Rudy 19%.

I keep telling all the ‘make McCain frontrunner’ crowd to wait for closed, Republican only, primaries….In SC, McCain could only muster 35% of Republican vote…………..also unlike other states where Mitt/Huck/Fred all split similar voters, now McCain will be splitting similar minded voters with Rudy…………..

Carl is a complete hack. In three seperate long sections on the Florida primary he “failed” to mention Mitt Romney at all. He mentioned Thompson, McCain, Guliani and Huckabee multiple times, yet doesn’t mention the person at the top of the most recent Florida pull. Carl is so biased he doesn’t even attempt to hide it.

Carl, you’ve joined the msm chorus that, for some reason, dislikes Mitt Romney. What is it? Is he too clean cut, well-heeled, articulate, intelligent? Not enough of an insider for you? Perhaps you’ve exchanged too many reciprocal pats on the back with John McCain. You’ve relinquished any attempt to be objective in your campaign analysis, choosing to shape public perception rather than to report it. Don’t you realize that any thinking person knows that the candidate who ends up with the most delegates wins the nomination? At this point, that person is clearly Mitt Romney, not McCain. From here on out, it’s only going to become more apparent, because, as many others have pointed out, those of us who are members of the Republican base can’t stand McCain. He has been a party sell-out, and has maintained his notorious nasty demeanor while doing so. It’s not surprising to see his co-RINO partner Lindsay Graham, part of the infamous Gang of 14, standing behind McCain during his speeches, often wiping tears from his eyes. Wouldn’t these 2 make a fine White House team! Sat. night, FOX did not even let us watch all of Mitt’s victory speech after his Nevada win. Oh, that’s right, it’s because it didn’t really matter since he ran “uncontested.” It was more important for us to see losers Thompson and Huckabee jockey for the VP spot alongside McCain. Don’t be a loser, too, Carl. MITT FOR PRESIDENT!

Pam
An Evangelical for Romney

Just watching Fox news this morning as they went to Carl Cameron on the road in Florida. Let’s see, he mentioned every Republican candidate except Mitt Romney. I hadn’t noticed that Mitt Romney had fallen off the earth – in fact, he is the delegate leader at this point. CNN has a much more balanced report of the candidates. Carl’s reports are so blatantly biased it’s astounding he isn’t getting some flak from his network.

Romney,if He’s the shoe in that He’s being projected to be here,as the nominee, is the most unfit to represent the party in a General election.When they bring out the facts,unlike the ones that Norma reflects,it won’t show He’s impeccable,or that he has any integrity…Th news out of Los Angeles last week,connecting Him to hiding money for himself and others in the Caymen Islands,for tax purposes,will poke a hole in the impeccable and integrity trait…and the fact that every Christian that doesn’t vote,or writes somebody else in would be a vote for the democrats.He’s a bad choice,unless you like losing.

Not sure if link worked correctly……………this is latest Rasmussen poll listed on Realclearpolitics.com

Election 2008: Florida Republican Primary
Florida: Romney 25% McCain 20% Giuliani 19%

Monday, January 21, 2008

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds Mitt Romney with a slight lead in Florida’s Republican Presidential Primary. John McCain and Rudy Giuliani are close behind in what may develop into a three-man race. It’s Romney at 25%, McCain at 20%, and Giuliani at 19%. Romney has picked up seven points over the past week while McCain and Giuliani each inched up a point.
Last week, before the Michigan and South Carolina Primaries, Rasmussen Reports polling found essentially a four-way tie for the lead in Florida. However, Mike Huckabee has slipped to 13% in the current poll. A week ago, he was the top choice for 17%.
One major wild card in the race may be Fred Thompson. The former Senator from Tennessee is considering dropping out of the race after a disappointing showing in South Carolina last Saturday. Twelve percent (12%) of Florida’s Likely Republican Primary Voters still support the actor turned politician.
Even though early voting has already begun, the race remains incredibly fluid. Just 54% of likely voters say they are “certain” of how they will vote. Six percent (6%) have not yet made up their mind and 12% say there’s a good chance they could change their mind.
Giuliani and Huckabee have the most solid support at this time. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of Giuliani’s supporters are “certain” they will vote for him along with 65% of those who favor Huckabee. For Romney, just 55% are that certain. For McCain, just 48% are that certain. In fact, 22% of McCain’s supporters still say there’s a good chance they could change their mind.
Among those who are “certain” how they will vote, Romney is the pick for 25%, Giuliani 24%, and McCain 17%.
Florida represents both a major challenge and a major opportunity for McCain. Both result from the fact that Independent voters are not allowed to participate in Florida’s Republican Primary. In McCain’s earlier victories, he has been competitive among Republican voters but won with the votes of Independents. If he is to win the GOP nomination, McCain must sooner or later show that he can win among Republicans. On the other hand, if McCain can win a Republican-only Primary in Florida, he will have a major advantage heading into Super Tuesday a week later.
In Florida, Romney leads among conservative voters, attracting 28% of them. Giuliani is second with 18%.
Among moderates, McCain dominates with 34% support. Giuliani is second with 23%.
Huckabee leads among the state’s Evangelical Christian voters, but his lead is not as substantial as in earlier states. Huckabee currently attracts 25% of the Evangelical vote, Romney 20%, and Thompson 17%.
Giuliani is viewed favorably by 74% of Likely Primary Voters. Romney’s favorables are at 70%, Thompson at 66%, McCain at 64%, Huckabee at 54% and Paul at 28%.
Sixty-one percent (61%) of Likely Primary Voters view Thompson as politically conservative, 45% say the same about Huckabee and 43% view Romney as a conservative. Just 21% see McCain in that way while 14% see Giuliani as a conservative.
Eighty-three percent (83%) see Giuliani as politically moderate or liberal and 76% say the same about McCain. Fifty percent (50%) see Huckabee as moderate or liberal and 49% hold that view of Romney.
Last week’s survey found that Giuliani and McCain were seen as the most electable Republican candidates.
McCain and Romney lead nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

Fox News anti Mitt Romney pro Rudy basis shown yet again. Carl Cameron are you kidding me Florida is a three way race with “Rudy, McCain and a player to be named later?”. What do they pay you for? Have you not seen RCP average of Florida polls? http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/fl/florida_republican_primary-260.html

Romney withing 3 points of the lead against McCain, and the only poll done after South Carolina and Nevada from Florida shows this…

1. MITT ROMNEY 25%
2. John McCain 20%
3. Rudy Giuliani 19%

Yet you try to say Mitt Romney is not even in the race!!!! Fox News is such a joke.

Huckabee should bow out. When he was a moral man seeking an honorable office, I would have supported him. Now that he has shown himself to be an immoral man, a liar, and a flim flam man, he should bow out of the race and give his supporters back to Fred Thompson.

Huckabee is running, and has been running, on being a Baptist preacher. But he lied on camera, calling Fred Thompson a “foreign agent” – and there was no doubt that he was accusing Fred of being a spy. That kind of ad hominem attack when questioned about his record disqualifies him from any office – even Baptist preacher.

The notion that he is the religious messiah that the evangelicals have been looking for is ludicrous. I am an evangelical, but I know what I believe, and this man doesn’t have anything. He is a fraud.

If Huckabee or McCain get the nomination, I will write in Fred Thompson. Better to have a democrat in the White House than either of these two. At least a democrat will be purposely destroying the country, and you will know what they are doing is to abolish freedom. That can be opposed. With these two, it would be gone, and half the country would be wondering where it went.

Yet you try to say Mitt Romney is not even in the race!!!! Fox News is such a joke.

On Cavuto’s show this afternoon,as He was being interviewed,Duncon Hunter ,was asked who he would endorse,now that He’s out of the race….I found it interesting,that He said it would take a While for him to make up His mind…When asked specificly about endorsing Romney,he mentioned the involvement of the Bain capitol co and their dealings with China on an issue that could very well be a national Security issue if passed on the hill……Ive heard the word integrity,honest,high standards,and trustworthy,mentioned when referring to this guy Romney…How on one hand can a man ask for your vote,and on the other,be selling you out,and be called things like impeccable and trustworthy…..maybe the silver spoon that was in his mouth when He was born,is starting to rust

carl, i love reading the comments. No matter how nice you are to any campaign someone is going to claim that you are being biased. OH well, I am enjoying your blogs.

Let’s not forget, McCain was the guy who wrote and was pushing the amnesty bill down our throats a few short months ago. He now says “i heard the American people”…but he kept pushing long after he heard us. The only reason he stopped is because he didn’t have the votes (others really did hear us). Even today, he hints that he’ll be trying to push amnesty through as soon as we start on the fence. Talk about a democrat…he knows what’s best for us and we need to elect him so he can make those important decision for us…we’re just too stupid.
