But let's be reasonable, most mayors would have acted similarly under those circumstances. Because of the manner in which he has conducted his personal life, Guliani lacks the moral authority that an American president should possess.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Our president should personify the values that we as Americans hold most dear. Ideally, he or she should be the best and the brightest, the most ethical and the most moral person that America has to offer. Bush has fallen short of this lofty ideal. The fact that Guliani has dressed in drag, repeatedly broke his marriage vows, and has failed to get along with his children would make him yet another embarrassment for Americans as the one we chose to be our 'philosopher king.' </description></item><item><title>Romney shot at Rudy, Thompson?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/12/268278.aspx#268700</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jul 2007 22:42:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:268700</guid><dc:creator>Abby Flanders, Downers Grove IL</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;the only one to have had only one wife&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just like Hillary.</description></item><item><title>Romney shot at Rudy, Thompson?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/12/268278.aspx#268702</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jul 2007 22:45:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:268702</guid><dc:creator>Scott Rose, San Francisco, California</dc:creator><description>Not only are his handlers spinning the right message but he appears to be the real deal. &amp;nbsp;Whether he's a Ward Cleaver or not I'm starting to pay attention to this brilliant campaigner.</description></item><item><title>Romney shot at Rudy, Thompson?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/12/268278.aspx#268709</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jul 2007 22:52:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:268709</guid><dc:creator>AaronH, Payson, UT</dc:creator><description>I get a warm feeling every time I hear Ann speak of Mitt, and vice versa.

Only 25% of American Households have a traditional family children with the same parents of which the father is sole provider. Meanwhile, the rest of the nation has to demasculate the man and the traditional family because of changing values. Of course, I can appreciate the Democrats perspective of puking on traditional families, they are only concerned about traditional government as the perverbial light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, that light always ends up to be an oncoming train ready to run anyone over who is in the way (Democrat or Republican).</description></item><item><title>Romney shot at Rudy, Thompson?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/12/268278.aspx#268810</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:15:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:268810</guid><dc:creator>Dustin Hofheins</dc:creator><description>Mitt has an amazing family, an amazing resume, and amazing experiance.

What matters is competence, and that's where Romney is the very clear winner. None of the other candidates, Democrat or Republican, have solved problems as big as the ones Romney has taken on. The other candidates have been on committees, expressed their opinions, even done a little legislating now and then. But none of that compares to being the head dude, the CEO &amp;amp; president, the guy on whose desk the buck stops, like Romney has done for so many years and in so many difficult situations. This country is facing very complex problems that won't be solved through political skills alone (although those skills are important too). We've got to have a president who can give us bottom-line results, and Romney has done that over and over, tackling almost insolvable problems. I'd go with Thompson if I thought his skills were comparable, but so far I've seen no evidence of that.</description></item><item><title>Romney shot at Rudy, Thompson?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/12/268278.aspx#269186</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jul 2007 12:40:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:269186</guid><dc:creator>Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VA</dc:creator><description>I agree with Lori above.

I think Romney has a great family, very vibrant, but not everyone will readily equate that with being a POTUS who has to represent a wide diversity of people. As I posted earlier Bush seems to be quite the family man and if you are judging Romney by the same standard you did Bush...it seems like that wouldn't be adequate measurement (esp if you are not satisfied with his performance). The kudos I will give to Romney over Bush is his track record of making solid management decisions. </description></item><item><title>Romney shot at Rudy, Thompson?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/12/268278.aspx#269545</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:50:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:269545</guid><dc:creator>Daniel, Cascade, Idaho</dc:creator><description>You ask how could a person sink into the swill of national politics while professing high standards. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sorry to burst your bubble, champ, but not all politicians are corrupt. &amp;nbsp;(Although many are, and the media continually tries to dig up dirt on the rest) &amp;nbsp;We need more pols with HIGH standards, not more pols with low standards. &amp;nbsp;The head of state shouldn't be representative of Hollywood's broken family ideal.

You might want to look into that. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am truly surprised at the number of promoters of moral relativism or moral abolishment. Don't people see that the disintegration of the American family leads to increased welfare checks, higher crime, loss of liberty, epidemic disease (alcoholism, syphilis, HIV, gonnorea, HPV, etc.), unemployment, higher drug use and general unhappiness? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course if you get a divorce it doesn't mean your own family is doomed, but the increased rates of divorce hurt our country and our children's future. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Romney is doing well win NH and IA, but suffers from lack of name recognition across the country. He's just trying to tell his story. As for the accusation of him being self-righteous, you can't serious. I could lay the same claim against you the last time you interviewed for a job. Did you tell about your credential?
