I understand that the requirement for president didn't specify, you had to republican, democrat, or independent. It has nothing to do with gender or race. If this is truly a land of the free and home of the brave, then the process of selecting the president should be based on the will of the people. Not who can raise the most money, or who can point out the most negative issues of their opponents, but rather who can carry out the will of the people as a uniter concerning domestic and foreign issues.
As a matter of fact african american, hispanic, white, indian, asian american etc... is ludicras. We are just Americans indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

Huckabee flips and flops daily - I'm running an attack ad (full of lies) then I am not going to run it but I will show it to you anyway. McCain is against tax cuts then for tax cuts. McCain is for amnesty then FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON is against amnesty while trying to tell you that what he was for is not amnesty. These guys all change their positions. Clinton did it in a debate within the space of 2 minutes on driver's licenses for Democratic voters, er, illegal immigrants. Romney has admitted changing his mind on abortion, said he was wrong, apologized, and has moved on. That takes guts and character to do. Have any of the other candidates admitted they were wrong on the things they have flip flopped on? Usually it is the religious bigots using the flip flop BS against Romney because they are too chicken to come right out and admit they are anti-Mormon bigots. They hid behind name calling to conceal their true slimy characters.

one of those Christians — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 12:14:16 GMT

Sane in Utah,
The site I checked out, @ republicansagainstromney, didn't have any lies. It gave true LDS information--allbeit, I think with more references to where they find these LDS truths, it would be more difficult for LDS religious bigots to accuse "Christians," who equal millions around the world, of 'all' being hypocritical. (while at the same time LDS try to claim to 'be' "Christians" by saying it is because the name "Jesus Christ" is in the name of their religion--like saying any Latino son named "Jesus" is the Christchild, or any male named "Christian" is a Christian). This is LDS "religious bigotry" "religious intolerance" and "Un-American."

An example of where I found a reference helpful is where the site explains how polygamy is still current LDS doctrine by providing a link to where voters can find this LDS Doctrine and Covenants #132 for ourselves.

The site republicansagainstromney is written by an active member of LDS in good standing. Stop 'attacking' Christians, please.

There is no logic in your statement, seeing that the site clearly states it is written by a high ranking LDS member in good standing, Not Christians, and even 'true' Christians love LDS, even though we may point out the differences between God and Christ of the Bible, and God and Christ of LDS, whom, btw, the LDS prophet/seer/revelator-president admits the LDS Christ is NOT the Christ of the Bible (eg "Church News," June 20, 1998, and elsewhere). People don't have to hate LDS to share LDS Politics and teachings that provide evidence of a candidate's life-long Politics or his/her untruths.

Sane is showing his own religious bigotry and hatred to falsely accuse the works, clearly stated in the site, of one of his own, as being the hateful, bigoted work of "Chrisitians."

I hope he can refrain from posting such bigotted, intolerand, Un-American lies, bigotry and hatred toward Christians in the future.

As Wolf Blitzer pointed out, on CNN, Sunday 01/06/08), Romney, on ABC NEWS, (04/03/07), talked of how he supports a time-table for withdrawing the troops that is not a public time-table.

Mitt Romney the Flip Flopper King

Or should I say Flip Flopper Romney!

Mitt Romney's Flip Flop Record

ABORTION

From the Left:

Romney ran against Senator Edward M. Kennedy in 1994. During a debate, Romney declared: "I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a US Senate candidate. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years we should sustain and support it."
- Boston Globe, March 2, 2006

"I respect and will protect a woman's right to choose."
-2002 Questionnaire for the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL)
Boston Globe, July 3, 2005

From the Right:

"I am pro-life. I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother. I wish the people of America agreed, and that the laws of our nation could reflect that view. But while the nation remains so divided over abortion, I believe that the states, through the democratic process, should determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate."
- Boston Globe, Op-Ed, July 26, 2005

More from the Right:

"Every decision I have made as Governor in a very liberal state has been on the side of favoring life." – Governor Romney

- Robert Behre, "Romney Gets S.C. Support," Charleston Post-Courier, January 30, 2007

STEM CELL RESEARCH

From the Left:

"Romney has decided to support experimentation on surplus frozen embryos from in-vitro fertilization procedures."
- National Review Online, February 11, 2005

"At a campaign appearance at Brandeis University in June 2002, Romney strongly endorsed stem cell research."
- Boston Globe, December 17, 2006 Read the article

From the Center:

"Governor Mitt Romney set off a storm of criticism yesterday after he declared in a published interview that he favored banning a specific type of stem cell research. Scientists and the leader of the state Senate accused him of trying to block a promising avenue of research, even as antiabortion groups assailed him for declaring that he did not object to stem cell research involving embryos from fertility clinics."
- Boston Globe, February 11, 2005 Read the article

From the Right:

"I studied the issue for many months, and entered into conversation with experts from across the nation who were looking for consensus solutions, like Stanford's Dr. William Hurlbut. In the end, I became persuaded that the stem-cell debate was grounded in a false premise, and that the way through it was around it: by the use of scientific techniques that could produce the equivalent of embryonic stem cells but without cloning, creating, harming, or destroying developing human lives."
- Governor Mitt Romney, Op-Ed, "A Stem-Cell Solution," National Review Online, June 15, 2007

EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION

From the Left:

"When he ran for governor in 2002, Romney said he supported expanding access to the emergency contraception pill, a high dose of hormones that women can take to prevent pregnancy up to five days after sex . . . On a questionnaire Planned Parenthood gave to the gubernatorial candidates in 2002, Romney answered 'yes' to the question, 'Do you support efforts to increase access to emergency contraception?' "
- Boston Globe, July 7, 2005

From the Right:

"Yesterday I vetoed a bill that the Legislature forwarded to my desk. Though described by its sponsors as a measure relating to contraception, there is more to it than that. The bill does not involve only the prevention of conception: The drug it authorizes would also terminate life after conception."
- Governor Mitt Romney, Op-Ed, "Why I Vetoed The Contraception Bill," Boston Globe, July 26, 2005 Read the article

GAY RIGHTS

From the Left:

"All citizens deserve equal rights, regardless of their sexual orientation. While he does not support gay marriage, Mitt Romney believes domestic partnership status should be recognized in a way that includes the potential for health benefits and rights of survivorship."
- Romney's 2002 campaign website

"Mitt and Kerry Wish You a Great Pride Weekend! All citizens deserve equal rights, regardless of their sexual preference"
- A flier handed out at "Gay Pride" by the Romney/Healey Campaign See the flier here

"We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and a bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns [grammar in context] President Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue" military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation's military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share…"
- Governor Romney letter to Log Cabin Republicans, October 6, 1994 Read the letter here

From the Right:

Lopez: "And what about the 1994 letter to the Log Cabin Republicans where you indicated you would support the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and seemed open to changing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the military? Are those your positions today?

Gov. Romney: "No. I don't see the need for new or special legislation. My experience over the past several years as governor has convinced me that ENDA would be an overly broad law that would open a litigation floodgate and unfairly penalize employers at the hands of activist judges...As for military policy and the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy, I trust the counsel of those in uniform who have set these policies over a dozen years ago. I agree with President Bush's decision to maintain this policy and I would do the same."
- Interview with National Review, December 14, 2006 Read the interview

MARRIAGE AMENDMENT

From the Left:

In 2002, before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court declared same-sex marriage protected by the Constitution, Romney denounced as "too extreme" the effort by pro-family groups to enact a preemptive state Marriage Protection Amendment prohibiting homosexual marriage, civil unions and same-sex public employee benefits.
- Boston Phoenix, May 14-20, 2004

From the Right:

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough: "Do you support a national constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage?"

Governor Romney: "Boy, I sure do. You know, that's a topic that's really, I think, very important to the country because marriage is not just about adults. Marriage is about the development and nurturing of kids, and in my view, the development of a child is enhanced by having a mom and dad. And so, I think it's very important that we have a national standard because marriage is a status. You get married in one place and then you move to another, you're still married at least in the eyes of the community and the children and the benefits may not follow you, but ultimately we're going to have one standard of marriage in this country and that standard ought to be one man and one woman."
- MSNBC's "Morning Joe" September 17, 2007

GUN RIGHTS

From the Left:

"He [Romney] is a supporter of the federal assault weapons ban."
- Romney 2002 campaign website

More from the Left:

In his 1994 US Senate run, Romney backed two gun-control measures strongly opposed by the National Rifle Association and other gun-rights groups: the Brady Bill, which imposed a five-day waiting period on gun sales, and a ban on certain assault weapons.

"That's not going to make me the hero of the NRA," Romney told the Boston Herald in 1994.

At another campaign stop that year, he told reporters: "I don't line up with the NRA."
- Boston Globe, January 14, 2007 Read the article

From the Right:

"Americans should have the right to own and possess firearms as guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution," said Governor Romney. "I'm proud to be among the many decent, law-abiding men and women who safely use firearms."
- Governor Romney, News Release, January 12, 2007

WAITING PERIODS FOR GUNS

From the Left:

Regarding the Brady Bill which required waiting periods to buy a handgun, Romney stated, "I don't think [the waiting period] will have a massive effect on crime but I think it will have a positive effect."
- Boston Herald, August 1, 1994

From the Right:

"Romney says he still backs the ban on assault weapons, but he won't say whether he stands by the Brady Bill. And after the gun show tour, his campaign declined to say whether he would still describe himself as a supporter of tough gun laws."
- Boston Globe, January 14, 2007 Read the article

MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE

From the Left:

"The minimum wage is important to our economy and Mitt Romney supports minimum wage increase, at least in line with inflation."
- Romney 2002 campaign website

From the Right:

Governor Mitt Romney yesterday rejected the Legislature's plan to raise the state minimum wage to $8 an hour over two years, angering Democratic lawmakers and advocates who accused him of abandoning a 2002 campaign pledge to significantly boost the pay of low-wage workers.
- Boston Globe, July 22, 2006 Read the article

EDUCATION

During his 1994 campaign for Senate he continually called for the abolishment of the Department of Education.
- Club for Growth's White Paper on Mitt Romney

Governor Romney now supports the No Child Left Behind Act.
- Club for Growth's White Paper on Mitt Romney

IMMIGRATION

From the Left:

In a November 2005 interview with the Boston Globe, Romney described immigration proposals by McCain and others as "quite different" from amnesty, because they required illegal immigrants to register with the government, work for years, pay taxes, not take public benefits, and pay a fine before applying for citizenship.

"That's very different than amnesty, where you literally say, 'OK, everybody here gets to stay,' " Romney said in the interview. "It's saying you could work your way into becoming a legal resident of the country by working here without taking benefits and then applying and then paying a fine."

Romney did not specifically endorse McCain's bill, saying he had not yet formulated a full position on immigration. But he did speak approvingly of efforts by McCain and Bush to solve the nation's immigration crisis, calling them "reasonable proposals."

Romney also said in the interview that it was not "practical or economic for the country" to deport the estimated 12 million immigrants living in the US illegally. "These people contribute in many cases to our economy and to our society," he said. "In some cases, they do not. But that's a whole group we're going to have to determine how to deal with."
- Boston Globe, March 16, 2007 Read the article

From the Right:

In his appeals to conservative voters, Romney has made the Arizona senator's work on immigration one of his favorite targets. When McCain and other senators unveiled the latest reform bill two weeks ago, Romney called it the "wrong approach" and immediately launched a television ad slamming "amnesty" for illegal immigrants.
- Boston Globe, June 1, 2007 Read the article

TAXES

From the Left:

"Governor Romney…imposed a slew of fee hikes and tax 'loophole' closures….The largest of these was $259 million worth of fee hikes in FY 2004, the bulk of which came from higher Registry of Deeds fees. Smaller fee hikes, including higher charges for boaters and golfers, we imposed in FY 2003 and FY 2005. Romney also sought $128 million worth of so-called tax loophole closures for FY 2004; $70 million for FY 2005; and $170 million for FY 2006, which were later reduced to $85 million due to backlash from business leaders."
- Club for Growth's White Paper on Mitt Romney

"Romney continues to oppose the flat tax with harsh language, calling the tax 'unfair.'"
- Club for Growth's White Paper on Mitt Romney

Romney didn't support President Bush's tax cuts in 2003. That earned him praise from liberal Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA)
- Boston Globe, April 11, 2003.

From the Right:

"I said no to a tax hike; raising taxes hurts working people and scares away jobs. I also said no to more borrowing; borrowing just shifts our problems to the backs of our kids...Instead, I went after waste, inefficiency, duplication, and patronage."
- Governor Romney, Boston Globe, October 24, 2005

NO NEW TAXES PLEDGE

From the Left:

In 2002, Romney broke with his predecessor, Jane Swift, and Republican governors before her by declining to sign a written vow not to raise taxes once in office.

- Boston Globe, January 5, 2007 Read the article

From the Right:

Almost five years after he refused to sign a "no new taxes" pledge during his campaign for governor, Mitt Romney announced yesterday that he had done just that, as his campaign for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination began in earnest.
- Boston Globe, January 5, 2007 Read the article

CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS

From the Left:

Governor Romney has changed his position on key campaign finance reform issues several times during public life. During his 1994 Senate campaign, he held far left positions that advocated for abolishing PACs and creating strict campaign spending limits.

- Club for Growth's White Paper on Mitt Romney

From the Right:

As he runs for President, Romney abandoned his previous stance and has come out as a harsh critic of McCain-Feingold, and those presidential candidates who support it. His transformation has even propelled him to call for the legislation's repeal.
- Club for Growth's White Paper on Mitt Romney

ON HIS FAVORITE BOOK

From the Left:

He told Fox News his favorite book is L. Ron Hubbard's "Battlefield Earth"

From the Right:

He also told Fox news his favorite book is the The Bible

Or

Who Knows:

His MySpace page said his favorite book is "Huckleberry Finn"

McCain's not too old — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:05:39 GMT

I think it is awesome that McCain's mom, at her age, is young at heart, active and alert. My own family history shows longevity can be an inherited trait, if one doesn't get cancer from environmental factors (and that could happen to the youngest candidate). Go Mom go! Go McCain!

McCain's longevity is already proven, along with every other Nam-POW still living, simply by the fact they are still with us after such life-crushing torture--in McCain's case, for five years. The man is obviously spry, a quick thinker, in control of his faculties. How many presidents have gone on to live well past McCain's age after leaving office? McCain has dedicated his life, since age 17, to the service of our nation. McCain is a loyal, faithful servant--not a fly-by-night power-monger.

Right now, for a war time president, America needs McCain's 20 years of experience in national security, his experience in international politics, his experience getting things done in DC, his experience in the military--McCain KNOWS the military, he KNOWS the sacrifice every member of the military makes in service to his/her country. He KNOWS what it is like to have a father, grandfather, sons in the military. McCain is man enough to stand for what he believes (a larger military foot-print going into Iraq, Rumsfeld's failures as Defense Secretary, the need for more troops to help stop the daily slaughter of our military, the surge, the need for better VA services, better VA hospitals, the way pharmaceutical corporations are robbing us blind...), and he's brave enough to admit when he could do something better (secure the border first). McCain is right about the need to get with Dems, Indies and Repubs to come up with the best strategy to take care of the illegal immigrant problem. (Whoever is elected, if it is decided to try to send 12 million folks back across our borders, it will take some powerful incentives--then who's going to gut our hogs and bend over in our fields all day and clean the lousy mess most Americans feel obliged to leave behind in the hotel rooms? Americans have grown lazy with the help of immigrants).

McCain is just as able, and more experienced, more qualified, to face the mound of problems waiting on the desk for our next president. Right now, we need experience. Experience in Government. 'Change' is NOT always for the better. So I don't put too much confidence in those pushing 'change' to get elected right now. Also, being experienced does not mean someone will not bring about change. Having a new president, a new cabinet, etc. automatically means changes. McCain has already proven to want to change things for the better, today. And he has the proven experience to get changes accomplished, for the better, today. McCain is able and willing to work with other party members to get things done, today. Right now, America needs a man like McCain, for next president of the USA.

I find it extremely interesting that in this http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=1463 that was placed at the beginning of the page showed Romney as the winner of the New Hampshire Debate with over 40% in his favor.

I have to say that IMO I could'nt agree more with it and found it to be extremely accurate with my views on the debate. I was actually a little disturbed at how vehemently the other candidates had gone out of their way to make such personal attacks at Romney and felt their childish remarks showed much more about their petty character as individuals then it did about Romney. They suggested that Romney had made "negative ads" even though the ads showed nothing more then the candidate's past decisions and actions in leadership positions. I found Romney to be correct when he claimed the ads were nothing more then "contrast ads" and believe there was nothing dishornable about them. It's foolish for americans to get so upset about such ads when all they do is clarify the candidates positions on important issues. It gets down to this, it'd be no different then if Huckabee or some other candidate made a ad complementing Romney then stating that he was pro-choice then became pro-life. It's only negative depending on how you look at it. But it's still a fact. I personally plan to vote based on facts, not insults and petty remarks. And as far as I can tell Romney has done the best job possible.

I can't resist, I have never liked
Fox so no surprise there. They have always presented a bias that is corporate and conservative.
As for the evangelicals well they belong to Fox.

Agreed. We shouldn't have a different view point on the world. News should only come to us through a liberal filter. Diverse view points should always be rejected.

As asian - american were not ready to elect a black president in the most powerful country on earth.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
I would have thought the disgraceful history of internment during WWII would have cured you of this unforgivable kind of prejudice

Huckabee is like buffoon. He will hang himself with is record and proposals.....late night interview are all he can handle. Chris Wallace skewered him yesterday. The media is starting to look at his wacky proposals. You can too. www.huckabeesamerica.org
