First, Romney takes the lead in Iowa polls and Giuliani and McCain decide to duck out of the Ames Straw Poll.  http://iowansforromney.blogspot.com/2007/06/giulianimccain-campaigns-on-life.html

Now that Romney has a solid showing in N.H. are they going to run for cover there too?

Where does the government get it's spending money? TAXES!!!! For the size of the US population we would see a huge increase in taxes to pay for nationwide healthcare! Let alone your asking the government lacks efficiency which will cause the quality to drop drastically.

It is patently obvious that he is a political opportunist.  His positions shift depending on the mood of the country and the office he seeks.  When he runs for governor of Massachusetts, he supports gay rights, is pro-choice, and embraces immigration reform.  Now that he's running for the Republican nomination for President, he's against gay rights, is pro-life, and wants existing immigration laws enforced rather than embracing comprehensive immigration reform.  Republicans used to brand someone like that a flip flopper.  They would be unrelenting in their attacks, denouncing the man a hypocrite and political opportunist.  Now they endorse him as a front runner.  Strange, very strange.   </description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#218829</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 21:32:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:218829</guid><dc:creator>anne frank</dc:creator><description>Mark - why do you condone your taxes paying for Iraqis' universal healthcare - but not Americans??

Obama released one - but it's not a universal healthcare plan.
Only Edwards has released a universal healthcare plan.
Have you read it?

Perhaps you're wondering why the corporate media bashes Edwards for his haircuts and wealth - issues that don't affect us - but they omit any discussion of his healthcare plan.

I see the financial statements of insurance companies and health care providers on a daily basis, and I see their expenses rising, especially bad debt expense, which would be virtually eliminated with the introduction of universal health care.  I also see investments from insurance companies rising, meaning that even though many/most are non-profit health insurance providers, they have a huge cash surplus at the end of the day, which never seems to translate to lower health care costs for average Americans.    Also, bad debt expense caused by the inability of uninsured individuals to pay their medical bills is one of the primary reasons we're seeing such a rise in health care costs.  If we just cover everyone, it COULD end up saving all of us money in the long run (reducing bad debt expense on the income statement), if done properly and with private investment (not a single-payer method).  So Go Hillary.  </description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#218849</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 21:39:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:218849</guid><dc:creator>anne frank</dc:creator><description>Oh jeeez!

On the Republican side, Guiliani seems the most electable and is a refreshing change from the far right candidates usually nominated. McCain committed political suicide when he publicly announced he wants to continue the Iraq war. Romney seems to be constantly re-defining himself which is rarely a good thing.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#218916</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:12:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:218916</guid><dc:creator>Phil, Greenville, NC</dc:creator><description>It's good to see Edwards doing well in the NH poll. (within 8 of the lead) He is the best choice for the nation.  I like how he is a self made man who remembers his roots and wants to end poverty.  I also like his plans to stamp out terrorism and not stamp out debate like Bush does with his slogans about a "war on terrorism."  It's simiar to the Bushco war on drugs, war on obesity, war on freedom to make unwire taped phone calls, etc...  </description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#218918</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:12:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:218918</guid><dc:creator>Shawn- Olympia, Wa</dc:creator><description>Hey Andrew from Utah.

When Hillary becomes president, she will redistribute wealth so that the middle class finally gets a fair shake. We need universal healthcare because the U.S. ranks 42nd in the world while countries that have it like Cuba are among the top. When she talks about "raising taxes" she needs to make a better point that this is raising taxes on the wealthy, not middle class.  Most plans to pay for it are to raise taxes on people making $200k or more and at least 65% of this country is nowhere near that. Mark - that contradicts your example of how universal healthcare won't work because we will have the taxes and everyone can benefit. I can understand why the wealthy are scared of Hillary becoming Madame President!</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#218937</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:21:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:218937</guid><dc:creator>mm,ma</dc:creator><description>Mark, 
So u think that u r getting health care for free? Isn't what ur employer paying to the insurance company on ur behalf coming out of your salaray - for they surely would have paid u more if not for the insurance? We are paying 16% of gdp on health care (the highest in the world), so obviously that 16% comes out of our income, by whatever means. Mathematically, there is no way that we would pay the highest percentage of gdp and yet pay the lowest out of our pockets.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#218941</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:24:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:218941</guid><dc:creator>IntheMiddle, Texas</dc:creator><description>Hilliary Clinton...Dont make me laugh.

We built this country on capitalism not socialism and as far as I see that's the best way.  Yes, not everyone gets the top notch in the capitalist world , but it forces people work hard instead of just sitting around waiting for the government to take care of all their problems.  We need intelligent people in this world that can think for themselves not those who only rely on others.  I think that Romney is a good man and could possibly bring some good things to this country such as the importance of religion.  I don't think that being a Mormon makes you any less a person than someone of another religion.  I think it shows that he is a good man devoted to his family and has high moral standards.  Yet, I fear for those people who will vote for Clinton, without knowing her platform, just because she is a woman.  What a sad day.     </description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#218948</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:27:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:218948</guid><dc:creator>RJ, JACKSONVILLE, FL</dc:creator><description>DON'T LET THE CLINTON'S DREAM BECOME ANOTHER CLINTON NIGHTMARE!!</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#218950</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:29:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:218950</guid><dc:creator>Phillip Fisher, Lincoln City, Ore.</dc:creator><description>After 8 yrs. of a Republican President in 2008, do we really want another Republican for another 8 yrs., has Americans gone mad-Vote anybody but a Republican.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#218953</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:30:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:218953</guid><dc:creator>Jenn Kesler, Boise ID</dc:creator><description>I hope that Hillary wins the democratic nomination, because she will lose the presidency!

This man saved the 2002 Winter Olympic games by making it one of the most successful ever. Then as a Republican Governor of Massachusetts among a Democratic majority legislator he reversed the downward spiral the economy of the state was headed in and balanced the budget every year he was in office. What other candidate running for president other than Romney has ever come close to doing this. NONE! We, as americans really need someone of this caliber running our country. He established healthcare for everyone in the state of Massachusetts without raising taxes and his program is now the new model for healthcare around the country. I suggest we all do our homework and check this guy out! WE owe it to ourselves and each other to understand what this man has accomplished and can accomplish.

Being first lady, moving to a state so you can win their open Senate seat, and changing your tune for every audience your put in front of (including your accent) - does not a qualified President make.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#218999</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:57:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:218999</guid><dc:creator>DJ</dc:creator><description>What I know is that when the Clintons were in office, the world was at peace, gas was VERY affordable, everybody was making money, and Mr. Clinton freaking won a wore without losing ONE soldier!

I want someone who has the ability to lead a nation that has lost its sense of purpose. I want someone who can bring fiscal responsibility to a bloated federal budget. I want someone who can negotiate and compromise on policy matters without resorting to name calling, finger pointing and name calling. And above all, I want a person with absolute intergity that is not for sale or bartered away for personal gain. Is that too much to ask for from our President? I hope not, because if it is then it won't matter who sits in the oval office. 

As I look at the candidates who can satisfy this want I see no one from the Democrats. The only real candidate I see who has the ability by proven record to be the kind of person I am looking for is Mr. Romney. I respect his convictions even in disagreement. I think he is perhaps the only person running from either camp who is doing so from a pure since of patriotism. All the other major candidiates seem to have a personal agenda that I don't trust. 

The good thing is we get to decide by our vote. Now, that is the United States of America!</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219011</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2007 23:03:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219011</guid><dc:creator>TJ, New York, New York</dc:creator><description>That last thing this nation needs is another flip flopper from Massachusetts that changes his position on key issues over night.

He played the entire state like fools by citing his (at the time) fairly liberal social agendas.  He is so two-faced, its unconscionable that he's even allowed to run.

Anyone who has conducted a little independent research and thought knows that most things would correct themselves if the heavy hand of government just stayed out of our lives and pockets.

He is a devoted father, husband and Christian. It may be news to some, but the actual name of The Mormon Church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mormons worship Christ. They believe in revelation today as is reported in the Bible in the days of the Jews and their Prophets.  All Christians have a Bible thanks to the religion of the Jews.  It is their people's book, of their people's dealings with God.  The New Testament portion of the Bible is the gospel of Jesus of Nazareth, who claimed to be the Messiah, or Savior of the World, who was chosen to come and atone for the sins of man.  Jews do not believe Christ is the Messiah and continue to look for the Messiah to come.  Following Christ's crucifixtion, the leaders of Christ's church were killed.  Paul and Peter were both cruxcified.  The original Christian Church fragmented and bishop disagreed with bishop.  Finally in 325AD The Roman Emporer Constantine, who was a Sun worshiper called the First Council of Nicea to unify the Christian beliefs.  The result is The Roman Catholic Church and the idea of the Trinity being three in one.  Most Christian churches are offshoots of the Roman Catholic Church.  The Protesters or Protestants like Luther came when the Bible was finally allowed to be read by men and women and these protesters believed that the Bible, secifically the New Testament did not agree with the practices and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.  So new churches sprang up based upon individual men's interpretations of the Bible.  Mormons are not an offshoot of the Catholic Church.  They believe that when the doctrines of the church were no longer followed after the death of the apostles and church leaders, that the authority and power of God was taken from the earth.  Mormons believe that that authourity has now been restored back to the earth and Christ's church is again led by prophets and revelation.  All this leads to Mitt Romney and what he really believes.  
He believes that the rights of all should be protected under the Constitution.  Even those he disagrees with.  He never was pro-Gay ever.  As a Christian, he is anti-abortion.  But as Governer of a State which was pro-gay rights and pro-choice, he was going to follow the law.  State's rights have always been at the heart of the Constitution.  A stronger Federal Government came under Roosevelt and the New Deal.  The man is a Christian, a conservative, but respects the rights of the law.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219081</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jun 2007 00:09:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219081</guid><dc:creator>Texas Democrat!!!!!!</dc:creator><description>Hillary is going to win the Presidency.

Look at what the candidates stand for politically and vote according to that.  I am still researching the candidates stands so that I can make an informed decision based off their political ideas.  

If you must look into religion, think about this. You may not agree with a lot of things the Mormons believe (probably because you have heard about it from the wrong sources)but at least they believe in focusing on family (I don't think anyone can disagree that this is important), having high moral standards, and standing up for what they believe in. 

Having stated these things for consideration, I will continue my search for the candidate I think will do the best job.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219099</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jun 2007 00:30:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219099</guid><dc:creator>Her Lao</dc:creator><description>The thing about GOP/Conservatives is that when they use the term "small government," they meant PROJECTIONs only, NOT actual governmental growth, epitomized in our national debts. &lt;p style='clear:both;'&gt;

Armed with a high school level statistics class knowledge, one easily finds that Reagan piled up more debts than Carter, Bush I, and Clinton (both terms) combined. &lt;p style='clear:both;'&gt;

But bringing up quantitative statistics like that, well, leads these medoicre hunting dogs herring chases:  "Well, Reagan single-handedly brought down the Evil Empire empire, the USSR!  Of course, he's gonna add a few trillion more dollars to the over all national debts!" &lt;p style='clear:both;'&gt;

Yes, indded, Reagan (during his acting days) and John Wyne and others were the guys who made the west a safe place for law abidding settlers!  &lt;p style='clear:both;'&gt;

It's a joke to "argue" with people who have such childish, pre-logic mentality as these GOP/Conservatives.  But personally I like how Gore Vidal observed Reagan:  He's one of these big, handsome, and dumb fellas who reads scripts well and who is telegenic (as telegenic as Paris Hilton, I supposed?)...</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219103</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jun 2007 00:32:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219103</guid><dc:creator>ROB, DULUTH,MN</dc:creator><description>THE LAST THING THIS COUNTRY NEEDS IS MORE REPUBLICAN LIES.

I wish to say that he is not a fli-flop Leader. He is not changing his view in terms of political maneuvering, but, when he does something he makes sure that he checks and tracks that the process is doing what it promises to do in the first place. Unfortunately, processes on programs and other policies eventually drop off somewhere along the line and continues on in a wrong direction where it was not meant to go. Mr. Romney has a sharp eye and focus and is able to detect these detours and misdirection in programs, etc. and then alert others and say, hey, if this direction is not changed back to where it meant to go, then I will invent a better way and make changes.
Mitt Romney is the Right Leader for America. He is a Leader who has Faith, a  Leader who has Values, a Leader with a lot of Capabilities to lighten the heavy burden already on the shoulders of our citizens and businesses. What you see and hear is what you get and feel good about the man's word.
It's time for a Leader who believes in God Omnipotent and His Plan of Salvation to lead a Nation whose Motto is "IN GOD WE TRUST". Bring God back into the Nation, America! HOOAH!</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219151</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jun 2007 01:43:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219151</guid><dc:creator>john, Estes Park, CO</dc:creator><description>To David Brown:  Who is Ron Paul?  Hah.  I guess you stick to mainstream sources (Fox, CNN, NBC, ABC) for all your news, people with lots of money and lots of control.  That tells us all we need to know about you and your closed-minded attitude.  Ron Paul resonates in the hearts of millions because he doesn't cow to the corporate oil grabbers.  He is truly a Thomas Jefforson of our time.  You can continue to lap up to the Romney's and Clinton's of the world, and you certainly won't be alone. Things are changing though.  People want truth and integrity, not sound bites and face lifts and fake lies and BS and flip flopping.  

Many know that, generally speaking, the “mainstream” media unfairly props up candidates and paints others out in a bad light, and they are extremely clever in the way they do this.  I personally do not believe there is a sweeping “left wing” or “right wing” bias in the media, I think there is a bias to ensure that a high percentage of all likely voters are conditioned to think ahead of time that the only acceptable candidates on either side of the aisle are those who will act in step with the corporate interests that dominate political agendas.  In other words, yes, surely Fox News is right wing biased, just like there is a genuine desire by Republicans to promote their agendas over Democrats and vice versa.  But those are smaller sub-plots that operate within a larger arena / greater picture, if you will,  ensuring that that pre-selected “front runners” in both parties are the only ones with any chance.  These candidates are not loyal to true republicans or conservatives in their constituency, nor true democrats or liberals/progressives in their constituency.  And if one researches the corporate-government collusion that exists with an open mind, I think this point will be self evident.  Just look at the presidencies of both Clinton and Bush in this light, and this common thread is plain to see.  Their actions/operations have had nothing to do with respecting and upholding the Constitution (as Bush’s “that’s just a god-d**** piece of paper!” off-hand comment clearly proved), with a few minor exceptions.  

My sincere belief is that we as citizens, tax payers and honest people desiring freedom and prosperity will get more of the same if this pattern continues.  And my belief is that all the pre-selected “front-runners”, to include Romney, McCain, Giuliani, Hillary, etc represent a continuance of this pattern.  I am personally not sure about John Edwards or Barack Obama, only because I know little about them.  Obama’s candidacy seems very strange, as he is approximately a 2 year old politician.  How can anyone judge his true desires and intentions?  He is similar to Romney in my opinion, because they both have the slick look and feel “calm cool casual” thing down pat.  I have to question Edwards, as he stood beside Kerry supporting what I consider to be an illegal war.  Classic flip flop (again, Kerry-Edwards 2004 was a perfect example of the “keeping in line with corporate interests” comments above).  

The Republican Party cannot stand Ron Paul.  This alone makes him attractive in my opinion.  I have heard they attempted to gerrymander his district last year in order to get him out of there (he still cruised with over 60% of the vote).  He speaks the truth about what is really going on, and that is NOT OK with the corporate interests who influence the media.  Hence the marginalizing of Paul.  I was shocked to see the last debate where he spoke for a total of less than 7 minutes, and the Rudy McRomney trio each averaged over 17 minutes.  That is wrong, period.  And of course that goes for all those candidates, I just mention it about Paul because I like him, but the others on the stage got ripped off too.  Fox, CNN and MsNBC were all strangely silent about Paul’s surprising online poll results after each of the debates.  People will argue the polls aren’t scientific, but neither are Gallup’s, and neither is the one on this page.  Polls like the above Romney Hillary poll only apply to people who answer a land line phone.  We all know that many in general don’t even use land line phones anymore, and those of us who do, a lot of us don’t answer it if we do not recognize the incoming number, right?  Anyway, in the case of all 3 of those networks, what a joke to try and marginalize your own polls when the results scare you.  Watching Sean Hannity and the others on Faux squirm and try and explain away the fact that Paul led the poll (and I think probably won it, and they changed the result to Romney) for much of the night, was priceless.  The one question to ask yourself is this:  If those Polls showed overwhelming support for Mitt Romney, would they have marginalized the polls, accused the Romney’s supporters of “spamming” the poll and declare it inaccurate, or would they have put up a headline the next day saying “Romney won debate, according to our online poll”, and put an asterisk next to that headline, explaining the margin of error, etc, of the poll at the bottom of the page in tiny letters?  MSNBC has run 3 polls, one after each GOP debate, and in some cases, there are over 60,000 responders to their questions.  All 3 polls showed Ron Paul being the favorite amongst the viewers.  Not only is this not mentioned anywhere on their site, they continue to strongly marginalize him in their “2008 Republican Contenders” section, placing him 12 out of 12, and admonishing Paul’s supporters to please stop emailing them.  

Does that sound a little like Pravda from 1962, or what?  Why are people afraid to acknowledge him?  Kind of strange, huh?    

Simply put, I am sure the polls are not 100% accurate, but again, no polls are, and in the case of these polls, even if you allow for a 15% margin of error, you have to conclude that, Paul at the very least has just as strong of a following as McCain, Giuliani or Romney, and this in and of itself is a major news story that should be talked about.

My personal belief is that if all citizens were equally aware of all candidates, and each candidate was treated equally/given equal exposure in the media, that many many people would like what they see with Ron Paul.

I ask all here with an open mind to please consider Dr. Paul.  I totally support your right to voice a different opinion, and you may be someone who thinks he’d be a terrible president – I honor and respect your views as an individual and independent minded American, even if we vociferously disagree on such things.  In closing, here are some brief points about Paul that I find very impressive:

Brief Overview of Congressman Paul's Record 


He has never voted to raise taxes. 

He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. 

He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership. 

He has never voted to raise congressional pay. 

He has never taken a government-paid junket. 

He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch. 

He voted against the Patriot Act. 

He voted against regulating the Internet. 

He voted against the Iraq war. 


He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program. 


He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year. 


Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress. 

Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation's capital. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill.

People don't know who he is because the mainstream media outlets refuse to give him any face time and the debate moderators refuse to give him any more than 6 minutes in an entire debate. I suppose if you're going to have a fake debate, you wouldn't want someone really talking about the issues. Instead you get Mitt, Rudy, and John slap-fighting throughout the entire thing.  If you stop getting all your information from the TV, and really look into the people you're about to elect to run the country, you definitely wouldn't pick Hilrudy McRombama.

As for Mitt Romney, if he runs the country like he ran the olympics, we're in for one hell of a police state... and at least one bribery scandal.

Okay. Okay. Okay... everyone has their favorite. Amazingly, no one has made a Nazi analogy (or does the Jews comment work for that??).

I don't even know where to begin to comment on all these comments: except to say, isn't that why America is the great country it is?  Because we disagree.  It enables us to root out the true democratic solution.

I voted for Bush.  I don't regret it, Congress failed to act as a balance of power ... their fault for letting King George go crazy.

The Patriot Act is without a doubt the WORST piece of legislation to pass Congress.  But am I surprised?  Not really.  I stopped being surprised when Clinton didn't get impeached for lying to a Grand Jury.

It's all relative to the situation.

I doubt Hillary's sincerity.  Especially when I think of her decision to "stand by her man"  [puke coming out.]

I like Obama ... but killing babies under the guise of a personal freedom?  Abortion is simply awful.  A disgusting practice that will be remembered in history much as slavery is now.  In fact, denying a human life liberties because they either lack the fortitude to defend themselves or have historically been deprived of liberty doesn't cut it in any debate.  If he were pro-life ... I would be pro-Obama.

Guiliani isn't a conservative.  A Republican?  I guess anyone can mark what they want on a ballot.

Make your choice based on what is most important to you.  That is the beauty of voting.

I love my country.
I hate my government.

I believe Romney has the sanity to rectify the mistakes of our past ... and the wherewithall to make good decisions going forward.

We all recognize that the state of affairs in America is grim.  But have you looked at the slums in other countries?  We have food in our pantries, plenty of jobs (even if it is at a McDonalds!), and an essentially free-market system that allows for personal growth.

With so much to be happy about.
With so much to be thankful for.

With so much ...

I hope your votes reflect your conscience.
I hope your attitude towards your fellow man represents tollerance for his vote.

And I look forward to our future together.

Jews. Mormons. Hispanics.  White people!

Bring me your tired.
Bring me your poor.

America will give them liberty.

Bring me your rich.
Bring me your lazy.

America will protect their liberty.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219219</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jun 2007 03:21:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219219</guid><dc:creator>Robert Morrow</dc:creator><description>check out my web page on Hillary:

Mitt has a very sucessful business man who has a loving wife and some children who were raised right and he turned the Salt Lake Olympics into a money maker and is big on family values.  Hillary was a first lady, who made a ton of money on cattle futures, is married to a man who gets sex in the oval office, was impeached once, and works for a company that steals money from Alzheimers Patients.  She has a medical plan that she borrowed from Fidel Castro, wants to make everyone brain dead and let the goverment run your lives.  Maybe Hillary wouldn't steal pennies from a dead man's eyes, but she will tax them so much, it wouldn't be worth having eyes. maybe a woman is ready to lead the country, But Hillary Clinton???? I don't think so.  God, such a choice to make.

She would make a good 1st female American President. How can you overlook a 12 year senator, and Energy Secretary in (Bill) Clinton's cabinet, a U.N. Embassador, and a 2nd term Governor? That is experience. No candidate can compete and would embarass themselves if they tried. He may not have all the fame and glory, but Mr. Richardson has proven himself.  Do yourself and the rest of the country a favor.. Don't jump on the popularity thing.  Listen to this man, get to know him in your own way and decide for yourself if he has what it takes to get our country back to prominent, world status. I am saddened the world thinks we are who we are at this point in time.  There have been better times in our country.

Ideally, the choice will come down to Obama and Edwards for Democrats, because both have the potential to win the general election in a big way; Hillary can only work to edge out a victory.  I don't see why the only challenge to four more years of neocon rule should be so willingly gambled, and this is coming from an independent voter.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219269</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jun 2007 04:32:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219269</guid><dc:creator>Indy Transplant, Phoenix, AZ</dc:creator><description>What about Guliani?

What.  Under that man the US experienced a great economuic boom.  The federal budget had a surplus.
The wars he waged didn't last years, cost trillions of dollars or result in the deaths on thousands of troops.  (Tens of thousands if we take into account the Iraqi civilians.)  And when he said he was doing it for the benefit of the civilians, he actually meant it.  Milosevic was subsequently charged for war crimes by the UN.
The fact remains we need a Clinton back in the White House.  Clinton 08

I looked up "fascism", and here is what I got:

"A political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition."

Sounds to me like the Democrats.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219444</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jun 2007 14:42:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219444</guid><dc:creator>Sherrie, Laguna Hills, CA</dc:creator><description>Whatever viewpoint they expressed, it was refreshing to watch last week's debates and see so many candidates who can speak English and complete simple sentences, unlike George W.

If the Dems nominate her, the Republican nominee in 2008 will be the next President. America is suffering from Clinton-Bush fatigue. The people want a fresh face with new ideas and an end to this partisan bickering that has divided the country under George W. Bush.  Hillary is smart, knowledgable, and experienced.  Any other woman with those attributes would be a shoo-in for the office. Hillary has TOO MANY NEGATIVES...the least of which is her husband, the former President.  Hillary is raw meat for the conservative right wing base of the Republican party.  Nothing will unite a now disenchanted crowd like that, around even Rudy, than the thought of Hillary and Bill back in the White House!  John Edwards, at this point, is so far to the left, he can never get enough of the moderate and centrist vote it takes to win.  So the answer lies in either an Obama or Richardson nomination...unless, of course, Al Gore jumps in...then all bets are off.

The distrust for and disgust of the Republican party engendered by good ol' G.W. will doom any Republican candidate no matter how well qualified or beneficial they may be for this country (Rommney/Guliani). And has anyone considered that to elect Hillary would be to have a Clinton or a Bush in office for every president since Reagan in the 80's?!? Did America suddenly revert to an aristocracy cloaked in the illusion of "free choice"? It has all been about "old money" here for quite some time now and we are no better for it as a country. Ditch the Royals and get a change. The nifty thing about Obama IS his inexperience on the hill. He's still more one of "us" than he is one of "them".

Anybody left in this country that has yet to realize that "Dubya" and his narrow minded close Republican allies in Congress have set this country back 50 years in terms of everthing, must be living in a vacuum with blinders on their eyes and muzzles on their ears.  MOST ALL of our historic allies have turned against us, W was voted in Europe as a bigger threat to world peace than Bin Laden (who by the way STILL hasn't been caught or even mentioned anymore), he has created a breeding ground for future terrorists in Iraq where there were formerly none, allowed 3500+ American kids to die for no good reason WHATSOEVER, is responsible for the death of tens of thousands of innocent women, kids, and men in Iraq -- not that they mean anything to him, and has taken a position on embryonic stem cell research and global warming that is so pitifully Neanderthal in the eyes of scientists around the globe, has appointed oil and gas executives to regulate their own businesses, and has given away billions of welfare in taxpayer dollars to the oil and gas companies while they are raking in record profits in the tens of billions of dollars a year -- just to hit a FEW points on this miserably imcompetent dud that occupies the White House.  If affordable, available healthcare for AMERICANS is something that scares you, or you want to continue to spend billions of wasted dollars in Iraq while our kids are falling like flies on a daily basis -- then you should vote for WHOMEVER the Republican nominee is.  If you still think global warming is a controversy with conflicting data and someone else's problem, vote Republican.  If you like the idea that a bunch of white men on the Supreme Court (and love the 2 WASPS Bush has seated) can decide for women what they can or cannot do with their own health and bodies, then by all means vote Republican.  I, myself, am voting for Hillary for the simple fact that she is the most intelligent, strong, and capable of all of the candidates running for office.  And for those Republicans who are hoping she DOES get the nomination so their candidate will have an easy target, well, may the best "man" win!  When Bill Clinton gets on the campaign trail for Hillary, all of those previously close states that went Red the last two elections will handily go Blue.  Literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of voters in the inner cities who have not voted in the last two elections are going to be at the polls in record numbers.  BILL can get them to the polls!  So, there you have it.  And horrors upon horrors I am a white male in Mississippi who happens to be a physician and a DEMOCRAT!</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219652</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jun 2007 22:33:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219652</guid><dc:creator>columbo, Atlanta, GA</dc:creator><description>Hillary Clinton - 2008 &amp; 2012....Obama 2016</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219658</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jun 2007 22:50:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219658</guid><dc:creator>Charles Cather</dc:creator><description>Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ramney is a moral man but he's not the right man to run America.  He is better off running his own Mormon church somewhere in the desert of Utah.  There is no place in politics for a holy man like him.  I hope politics doesn't drag him to the sin that the Republican has created for America.  

How could America keep talking about spreading equality and democracy all over the world when it doesn't even have the most basic equality, that is gender equality.  

I say it's time America stand up for its believe and act on it.  It's time America has some feminist and feminine leadership.  Hilary Clinton will be the trailblazer for all Americans to a world of equality for all.  God and I say we vote for her and let her take us to a new height.  God is so sicked and tired of those corrupted Republican leaders who lead America deeper and deeper into the world of sin and chaos.  May the Mighty Lord strike every Republican candidates with illness, give them heart attack and stroke, send them to oblivion.  The Mighty Lord will protect empower Hilary Clinton and let her lead us to a true world filled with democracy.  Long live Hilary Clinton.  Should I say that in Spanish?  Viva Hilary Clinton.  Si se puedes!!!!!

I think Mark is the one who needs enlightenment.  Why is healthcare costs so ridiculously high?  Profits... The Insurance and pharmaceutical companies are taking us to the cleaners for enormous profits.  Only a single payer system will keep costs manageable.  I'd rather my taxes go up slightly to cover the costs of healthcare than to keep seeing my deductibles going up astronomically year after year.  You neofacists who don't think the government can ever do a good thing should know the Canadians wouldn't trade their healthcare system for ours... and the Germans have the best system out there - universal single payer coverage.  

Romney is a true politician. He will say anything to any group to get elected.  In Massachusetts it was a promise to do more for gay rights than Edward Kennedy.  Now he's Mr. Mormon man..  At one time he supported abortion rights.. Now he's Mr. neocon, kissing the butt of the religious right.

And about Romney being a good Mormon: Not so sure about that either: in almost 40 years, he's only had 1 wife, and Guiliani and McCain have each had 3, so how good a Mormon is that?</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#219774</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Jun 2007 06:46:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:219774</guid><dc:creator>Jim R.

The folks at his events in NH are numerous and excited.

Democrats will realize that under the leadership of Hillary, universal health care got set back for 20 years and helped the GOP raise a ton of money to take the House in '94.  Who can deny that Hillary is one of the most polarizing figures in politics?  If she is the nominee, the Republicans will be energized and Democrats will lose Congress- and the most powerful woman in America, The Honorable Speaker Pelosi.

Republicans have been desperate for another Ronald Reagan.  Unfortunately for them, it's the Democrats' turn for a great president.  His name is Barack Obama.

Life is too short to be arguing about President's. Bush is the worst president this country every had and the so-called Christians are now licking their wounds.

And biased so-called “conservatives” like Sean Hannity try and twist Ron’s words to make him look bad. Ron Paul is courageous for his actions and words. Others who have spoken out against private entities such as the Federal Reserve have had their lives threatened. Stop living your lives like you are free! The federal government is going too far and is restricting and infringing on our freedoms to keep us “safe”!

I suppose at this point I am supporting Giuliani.  He is a moderate Republican at least on the moral legislation issues which matches my positions closer than the other candidates.  Clinton doesn't stand a chance, last election Howard Dean was the clear front runner and we ended up with a Bush clone for a candidate.  We have 20 years of Bush's and Clinton's.

Either Hillary or Obama would make an amazing president.  I'm leaning 100% toward Obama for his passion and vision for the american people.  Black or female....its time!  By the way....thanks to all republicans/religious sec for electing the BIGGEST DISGRACE/JACKASS that America has ever seen.  Idiots!!

The other 17 candidates all have huge discrepancies between their words and actions.  Don’t we deserve better? Don't let the media elect the next President, actually look at what these candidates have said and done. Once I did that, it eliminated 17 candidates. I actually think several of the second tier candidates would make much better Presidents than any of the top tier in both parties. Please look beyond the media reports and do your own homework on who these so-called "top tier" candidates really are. It sobbered me up very quickly.

What is his real position on abortion, gun control and abortion. No one really knows. I guess it depends on the election cycle. 

Guess those hollwyood good looks are really helping him. 

Richardson was terrible in the debates. Some one needs to tell him to stop listing his resume. " I was there, remember" line is played out and he looks too disheveled on stage. He's running for President not University prof. So we don't need to see the skin between his socks and his pant leg. 

Biden was the best debater on the Dem side. But that was to be expected since he always had the gift of gab. Clinton, Obama and Edwards did no harm. 

On the republican side, I thought McCain and Guiliani showed the most courage. McCain on immigration and Guiliani on abortion, they stood their ground. Romney seemed to be pandering, and I guess with the polls, the people couldn't tell the difference between real conviction and pandering. </description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#221193</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2007 08:02:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:221193</guid><dc:creator>Dr. Watch, Long Beach, California</dc:creator><description>What is it with Universal HealthCare???  Do you actually think that President Bush has given a thought to it and to us?? No.  He's given sight to only that of Iraq and the so-called Weapons of Mass Distruction.  Where are they?  We captured and hung Saddam.  Now where are these Weapons.  That was the sole reason for going in.  Right??~  DOES ANYONE REMEMBER?? The speech Colin Powell made to the United Nations for advance plans to invade Iraq. We Invaded and freed Afghanstan.  They have a president now. We kill the Opium, yet we have not found Osama bin Laden.  what the hell??  With all the Money Bush and his administration has been stealing from us to GIVE to other countries (3.1 Billion!!!!!!!!) instead of our own, im for sure very surprised. Actually im not ( do you think all that money would have cured the INTERNAL problems of the United States??? ).  To protect us?? To insure America's safety?? To keep 9/11 from happening again.  We have 9/11 happening every day. California, New York, Virginia and its crime rate. Florida and its congressional pages vs. sexual scandels, Bush's Daughters getting drunk while underage in a bar and arrested, sending our troops off to ANOTHER country to be slaughtered and killed by those that NEVER commited 9/11.  Where is the compensation? Where is the oil we were supposed to get for freeing the Iraqis? Where is Osama bin Laden? where is the Universal healthcare THIS PRESIDENT was suppose to give us if HE as a REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT is so great? Where are the national programs for the Poor and Elderly? Where is the great Berlin wall that is suppose to surround this country keeping out Illegals ( not aimed at mexico only, but throughout ALL of our national coasts' )??? Where is the regulated issuance of handguns that our teens and children seem to be getting a hold of to shoot our schools dead litterally?? The Bush Administration has defamated our Country, our troops, us as a society, our reputation, abused our money, has not taken an intrest in what WE as a people have to say.
Ask yourselves this, before you go out and bash Hilary Clinton and Obama. Before you Cheer for Romney, and Gulliani. For the pass Eight years what has this Administration done for us????  What have the rewards been?  What have been the Consequences? Don't come back and state Hilary and her history FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.  That was HER history. Not ours. A polorizing figure? ok. and?? Im a Clinton fan, sure. My vote is yet to be Decided. </description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#221539</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2007 14:31:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:221539</guid><dc:creator>Caroline, MI</dc:creator><description>I miss Bill, but not enough to vote for Hill.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#221621</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:08:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:221621</guid><dc:creator>Still Crazy After All These Years</dc:creator><description>"Spamalot"-Monty Python</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#221629</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:15:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:221629</guid><dc:creator>The Edge, Macon, GA</dc:creator><description>Ron Paul, the biggest flake in the granola bowl!!!</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#221663</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:41:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:221663</guid><dc:creator>Pat, Denver, CO</dc:creator><description>Guys, enough with Ron Paul already!!

I am perfectly fine with you calling the LDS faith a cult.

I take money out of my family budget to pay for your humanitarian aid.  For fellow Christians down south to take that contribution and then turn around and call Mormons Non-Christian is ignorance in its purest form. No hard feelings though, wer're used to it.

Oh... and vote for not the Democrats.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#224716</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jun 2007 16:12:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:224716</guid><dc:creator>Jen</dc:creator><description>Eric, as an econ and business major and someone who's been in the industry for awhile, i suggest you take econ 101 again.  obviously you weren't paying attention.  businesses help bankrupt this country b/c we can thanks to the republicans.   </description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#227838</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jun 2007 08:56:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:227838</guid><dc:creator>Charles Dickerson, Bakersfield, CA</dc:creator><description>This is BS where is Ron Paul!!!!!????

Hardworking Americans who value their money and would like to make this country respected in the world again need to consider the record this man has over the last 30 years in Congress. &amp;nbsp;There is a lot wrong with the country right now, IRAQ included, and all the other candidates from both parties are just offering another flavor of candy to get your vote.

Dr. Paul received 182 of 294 votes cast, or 65 percent. In second place was Rudy Giuliani with 24 votes, or 8 percent.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Today's strong victory is further proof that Dr. Paul's message is resonating throughout New Hampshire,&amp;quot; said campaign manager Lew Moore. &amp;quot;Dr. Paul is the only candidate in this race truly dedicated to smaller government and lower taxes for all Americans.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;CNHT is a statewide, grassroots organization dedicated to reducing the size of government at all levels, stopping judicial activism, providing students and parents with a choice of educational opportunities, expanding job markets, and protecting property rights.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#268280</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jul 2007 19:27:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:268280</guid><dc:creator>Daniel McCuen</dc:creator><description>My Dad had a 6 bypass surgery in 2002. He was 63 years old. If we had lived in a society with socialized medicine he would have been sent home and told to get his affairs in order. This is because there is only so much money to go around in that type of society. Canada and UK tax their people 65% of their income to provide for all of the government programs. Yet there is not enough to care for the elderly. We have seen in world history that capitalism is one force that truly motivates and promotes invention, creativity and excellence. Another problem with socialized medicine is that in spite of all of the efforts of government the rich will still be taken care of in spite of their age. Yes there needs to be some solutions but universal healthcare as proposed by Hillary isn’t it. Her plan included legal penalties and jail time for doctors who saw patients privately. That means that you will never see the same doctor twice unless you are really lucky or you only have one in your town. The drawback here isn’t just an emotional tie you may have with your doctor but the quality of care is much better when your doctor knows you and all about your history without having to sit down and read your file for a half hour, which in a socialized system s/he won’t have time to do. Medical breakthroughs would slowdown and cease, if you doubt that then name the last 3 new medicines to come out of Canada or 3 from UK, I think you get the idea. Mitt Romney is well known for what he did in civilian life, turn companies that are failing or bleeding finances around and make them solvent again. I say religious convictions aside let’s give him a chance to turn this country around. What about his experience on the international front? He did work with Olympic leaders from around the world to make the 2002 Olympics successful. My last thought is this; I have known many Mormons and they are honest hard working and caring people. Whether they have the same exact religious beliefs as you really doesn’t matter if they have the core values that you have. The rest is merely a matter for discussion not a matter to judge someone over.</description></item><item><title>Clinton, Romney lead in NH poll</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/08/218615.aspx#308297</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Aug 2007 02:23:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:308297</guid><dc:creator>Paul J.
