    To Ohbaby2684,
    I suppose you believe the propaganda about the war in Iraq making our country safer, but take it from someone who has fought in Iraq- there is no way to win a victory there, and even if we did, that would not contain the terrorists. They will only be forced to move someplace else- you cannot win against an ideology.

    I find it interesting that people think the Mormon church is only interested in Money. Have you ever seen a religious infomercial from the leaders of the Mormon church? Have you seen a commercial asking for you to send in money so you can get a "free" book? I think people would be shocked at how infrequently the Mormon church asks for money from its members. And when it comes in, it goes to buildings and programs (with very little to people).

    Ok, come on! Enough with the slander of the Mormon church. If you don't want to vote for Romney, that is your right in this country. But, let's leave the religious test aside. I am Mormon and I have been a Bishop. I can only tell you that the Church of Jesus Christ has helped me to become a better person. We are not perfect, but we do our best to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. In terms of doctrine, everything we believe is in the Bible. However, we are also lucky to have additional scriptures. We also believe in modern day revelation. See Amos 3:7.

    McCain in a master of distortion and evasion. He lies so smoothly one can tell he has had lots of practice. Perhaps that comes from 24 years in congress. Although we are a Republican family, none of us will vote for McCain. I would vote for Hillary (who I do not like) rather than McCain.

    There IS simply only ONE Candidate worthy and worth while on any subject of substance, that person is John Mc Cain. To have Insight/Far-sight that person has seen trail and errors in every direction. A person who must allow the Horrors done to him/her in the past and make peace with the perpitrators from both continents in which he came from and went to, in my firm belief is a person worth having as PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. For the Better and Good of all peoples Foriegn and Domestic is what i see McCain being as that person.
    The action as in any President is obvious to go beyond Todays Issues for the longer term of Years ahead. This i planly see in Mccain. Can anyone truly see any other more worhty than him? That is Obsured if anyone care to debate any other candidates historical actions, aside from their Hollow " I wish, I tried, etc. Look beyond yourselves today or yesterday. For he has and does..and so do I. For i am embrassingly Poor and abroad Xpat trying megerly to survive with some dignity about myself than fliping hamburgers. I if anyone had anything to say beyond myself..i am optomistic to look forward to a brighter day, and many other countries are hopeing the same.

      In all fairness, have you considered that there is another candidate still in the race who is still holding the #1 position in many Super Tuesday states, and who has refused to resort to the slime attacks that either McCain or Romney have used. MIKE HUCKABEE has been steadily gaining ground with average people because he understands them and their needs better than any other candidate. He has also spent much time in his 10+ year career as Arkansas' governor and in other capacities travelling the world and listening to their people. He has proven himself electable by being elected not once, but twice by an 80-90% Democratic state. While there, he improved the schools, roads systems, and state economy, while passing right to life legislation more than once. While everyone else talks about being conservative, he just is. While others say they will work across the aisle, he has without stepping across himself. You can learn more about his record and his policies at mikehuckabee.com

    I have personal dealings with the "Mormon" Church The Church is not squeaky clean. I belonged to the church for several years, graduated from BYU, married in the Temple, attended Church. But when my husband who also served a church mission persisted in lying, cheating and progressively became more agressive towards me, I asked for assistance from the church leaders. The first time we were living over seas and the mission president upon leaving our home after conference with my husband who was one of his counselors said in front of both of us, "oh by the way, I understand that you have a problem of lying to your wife, is that true?" My husband answered yes to which he was told, dont do it any more. this mad things worse. When I finally realized I could not stay married to the man and live I went to the church leaders again for assistance to only be assulted by the Bishop of our ward and then to be called a lier by the Stake President, I was to evil to have members of the church assist me, but then they sent the elders to my home every fast sunday demanding a fast offering. I later moved to Washington State and one night while watching the news they had a story of a bishop of a ward in the area who had kidnapped a teenage girl whose guardian no longer wished to be associated with the "Mormons". I contacted the guardian and spoke at length as to my experience and she hers. In a word the situation the poor guardian and teenage girl was in was "ghastly". In each case the "Mormon leaders" deemed it as their right to violate mine and this other families rights to be free from harm and terrorization. There are many other stories of people I know who have had similar problems with this church, including many Native Americans who were sent to their schools and were beaten and violated more often than anyother religious boarding school Native children were sent to. Is Mitt Romney telling the truth, would I trust him as President? NO, I would not and not just because of the above comments. One of the religious teachings that was drilled into our heads while at BYU was that in the Latter-days the govt of the US would fall and it would be the elders of Isreal, meaning the men of the "Mormon" church who would save it. That would be the first step to taking over completely first the United States and then the rest of the world. This church has from its inception been focused on controlling the entire world. They already have numerous of their members in very high placed postions of the US government, this is intentional on their part. Those who succeed in moving up the ladder in the govt and business are "called" to positions of leadership in the church, the higher up the ladder in the outside world the higher up the ladder they are moved to in the church. Vote for whom you want. But first research out Mormon doctrine from both sides, that of what the church says and that fr

      I have never been Mormon, but have lived in an area that was appr. 90% Mormon. What you are saying, unfortunately is not a great surptise to me. The leaders of the church were usually the most corrupt and abusive of civil rights of the people. While they tout their church welfare programs, they require you be a member in good standing to recieve benefits from them. That includes having your mandatory 10% tithe paid up to date. If a person really needs help, how can they afford their tithe? I knew a person who went to apply at the local big box store for a job, but was told they could not hire him because he was not Mormon. That is how they keep people from other faiths from succeeding in their area. Another man was told that people wouldn't shop at his paint store because he wasn't LDS, so he converted, and his business flourished. These are only a few of the abuses. In addition, their theology truly does teach that Jesus and Satan were brothers, and that Joseph Smith holds the key to heaven, and many other aberrant ideas. I am amazed that people are voting for Romney without looking into his church's teachings. They are really scary. REsearch it out, don't take my word for it!!

        Unfortunately, you are incorrect. I am not Mormon, but have been married to one. We went thru a very hard time financially and hadn't been able to pay tithes for a long time ( and I do not since I am not a member). But they were there for us and helped us out with food and diapers and even paid our electric one month. While I do acknowledge that some towns are like that (Snowflake, AZ) where I once liver was exactly like that, not all Mormons are. So please do not judge a people by the bad. I am actually a devout penecostal, but acknowledge there are just as many Christians in the Mormon church as there are in the main stream Christian church. Remember Christ words to us, judge not least you be judged.

          I have never heard of anyone recieving anything from any Mormon church without either an expectation of repayment+, or the trying to use it as a tool to make you obligated to the church, so you live amongst a much more forgiving group. All of that aside, I don't judge the people for their ignorance, but the Church for it's depth of deception. Beginning with Joseph Smith through today, the LDS church and its leaders have had a clean and family centered exterior with a very corrupt interior. I have spent much time learning their doctrines and what their scriptures teach, so I'm not fooled by the Christain-sounding words they use to deceive people. The reason I say this is because Mitt Romney uses the same tactics. He makes himself look good, but he is having a hard time covering all the things that he has said and done that speaks much more loudly than his words of today. He was trained with the best of them...he was a Bishop in their church.

      Iharg2, you sound angry and hurt but I have never seen a situation like this that wasn't two sided! Spreading lies and misinformation may make YOU feel better but it doesn't help anyone else. And by the way, what does your failed marriage have to do with Mitt Romney?

  • Posted By: Horses Mouth @ 02/01/2008 12:36:14 AM

    HEALTH CARE PLANS: Is the same as we (individuals) have plans ( IF ) what ever comes along ie, Money-Time-the other signigficant other helps or allows us. Which is the same i argue about the KEY WORDS lay out before our eyes.. " SIGNED UP " yeah thats what thier claiming. So many Thousands have signed up..in Bold letters i submit " THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE APPROVED " now you get it? and how many of course will not sign up..due to realization there is no need. For there is no money for the plan or they don't want to be part of their TAX increase. wake up simpltones. Health Care is a Dead Issue untill and as so many feel reluctant to it.." Becomes State Owned "

    What are all of you looking for in a President? Someone who has values? Someone who is honest? Someone who knows how to fix our economic problems? That is what I want in a President and that is why I am voting for Mitt Romney.

  • Posted By: Victory333 @ 01/31/2008 9:45:02 PM

    Well, being a retired Navy War Vet, as well as a registered Republican, I pride myself as a Patriot first, that is why I am shifting colors and voting for Mitt Romney. Patriots don't mislead the American people. I just can't trust McCain anymore. He is a liar and will say anything to get elected. We could possbly be robbed of a great leader in Mitt by actually believing a coniving old politician like McCain. An Army of asses led by a Lion is vastly superior to an Army of lions led by an ass.

    IT is OBVIOUS that the DEMCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT KNOWs THAT OBAMA is the CANDIDATE with the BEST CHANCE to win in NOVEMBER. EVERY statistic and poll supports this fact The DEMOCRATIC party cannot risk losing the WHITE HOUSE. The only obstacle standing in OBAMA's way is the LATINO VOTE.

    THE CLINTON"S ARE JUST TO polarizing. Too many scandals, to many investigations. I do not believe they are guilty in all those scandals I just believe AMERICA needs a change from the establishment. We do not need a years worth of divisive campaigning. IT would be amazing to see McCain vs OBAMA. A GOOD CLEAN HEAVY WEIGHT FIGHT. NO ONE GETS THEIR EAR BIT OFF. A ROMNEY CAMpaign would be just like BUSH'S very divisive and full of lies. IF AMERICA CHOOSES THESE TWO CANDIDATES to represent their respective parties then I think the AMERICAN political process can begin to heal and set an example to the rest of the world. WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE ARE WE SENDING IRAQIS and AFGHANS. IF we promote racial divide why shoud they give us the benefit of the doubt concerning ABU GRADE and BLACK WATER. ARE WE REALLY RACIST CAN IT BE THAT THE CLINTON"S ARE A REFLECTION OF OUR SOCIETY. DIVIDE people so we the CLINTON'S can attain the power we are entitled too and so rightfully deserve after my conduct in the OVAL OFFICE. No one else is capable of being president. I will become nasty and play the race card because the "MEDIA" is trying to take away the presidency from me and my wife.

    OBAMA HAS TO GAIN GROUND WITH THE LATINO VOTE. HE NEEDS TO BLITZ THE LATINO"S WITH COMMERCIALS OF ECONOMIC prosperity.

    • Posted By: supportmccain @ 01/31/2008 8:42:12 PM

      Please check your facts. McCain is not a Bush fan, never has been, especially since Bush beat him in the primaries. Do not soil Sen. McCains history of voting to help people and not taking campaign money from big business and campaign reform efforts, and being a decorated war hero. He may not be your hero, but his not a bad Republican.

    • Posted By: justsayno @ 01/31/2008 7:57:58 PM

      You are obviously ignorant to what the church really is. The reason that Romney is so good at making money, is because the Mormon Church is not a non-profit organization, but a business in diguise that touted the shrewdness of their leaders in a major article about their sesquicentennial. Not surprising. Brigham Young, who took almost all the wealth of the people who followed him to Salt Lake City, bragged that he was the only man in Utah who knew how to make money. Meanwhile, his wives all worked at jobs or ran businesses to support themselves and him. This church is very dangerous and should not control the presidency of our country.

  • Posted By: sparrow @ 01/31/2008 7:03:56 PM

    I'm with you, eshuster. I won't vote for McCain either. He's a liar and his sidekick Huckabee isn't any better. Hopefully their scheme to keep Romney from getting the nomination will backfire. At any rate, I certainly hope we don't end up limited to choosing between McCain and the Clintons. Its hard to say which is worse!

    • Posted By: justsayno @ 01/31/2008 7:48:51 PM

      I'm not sure about McCain's status as a liar, but he certainly isn't a conservative, and neither is Romney. His main interest is in getting himself elected, whatever he has to say to get the job done. But, you are very wrong about Mike Huckabee. He is the only man running for office who has been consistently conservative, has come up with real ideas for real change, and admits that we need to do more than change the face of the person spewing their ideas at us. He was the only making sense last night at the debates while McRomney were sounding like school-children tattling on each other. I would not trust Romney to be honest about what he ate for breakfast, let alone lead this country.

  • Posted By: supportmccain @ 01/31/2008 7:35:05 PM

    One of the saddest things about reading this blog, is how much name calling and disinformation there is here. I was fortunate enough to work on Sen. McCain's senate campaigns in Arizona several years ago. Sen McCain is a decorated war hero who has worked with the Senate Arms committee for a very long time. He is certainly more qualified for the role of President then Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney is just another multi-millionaire buying his way into the Presidency. This "plan" of McCain and Huckabee is just another false rumour planted by the Romney misinformation campaign. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Sen. McCain is coming up with innovative solutions to get this country back on track., and if reaching across the isle to work with the democrats is the way to do it, GOOD FOR HIM. Lets wake up to the real truth here: articles like this that are published by Magazines with their own agendas, only hurt our party, not the candidate. Although I do not trust Romney at all, if he becomes the nominee, I will support him to try to keep what little values that are left in our country. I hope you Romney supporters will remember that when Sen. McCain becomes the nominee.
