Burying Mitt

Flipper Mitt was no more conservative than John McCain! Here was a guy who took several liberal positions as Gov. of Mass., then flip-flopped to a new set of positions when he decided to run for Pres.

It is difficult to convince your party that you are authentic when you finally reach your political puberty at the age of 60!!

To all the Romney Lovers out there who compare him with McCain.
One went to war. One stayed home to be silver spoon fed by daddy.
Which one really should be president in a time of war?
I'm tired of unquailified presidents. Bush was enough

Good job keep up the good writing. Never mind the haters.

What an insulting article. Mitt is the most intelligent & capable man out there. Just because the media decided they did not like him and because he is a mormon people did not accept him. McCain has changed his mind on more issues than Romney has. McCain can barely decide if he wants to remain a republican. Romney on the other hand changed one policy because of personal feelings and experiences. He ran an amazing campaign and I am incredibly sad to see it end! If only there were a decent candidate left to choose from.

A truly tasteless article from a pathetic nobody. Romney bowed out of the race for the good of the country and the party. He is a fine man; the classiest of all the candidates. Romney will be back. Romney has risen from every setback he's ever had. As with all critics, there will be no monument for this author. Howard Fineman, your a disgrace to yourself and to your profession.

I don't agree with Howard Fineman.

"Over the last decade, he [Romney] had changed his views....." So he's writing that taking a whole decade to change one's views is being dishonest, disgenuine, and flip-flopping? What about McCain who seemed to "find himself" within only a few weeks or months, happily just as the campaigns got started? Especially concerning topics related to legislation he co-sponsored over past few years. I guess now that he's better situated with his ideals, he'll now sponsor legislation to erase all those previous bills that he got passed.
It only seems right, considering his sudden and current realization of how wrong he previously was........

To all Romney haters, I challenge any reader to list 3 valid issues that Romney changed positions on aside from his admitted change from Pro Choice to Pro-Life. You all throw out the label of Flip-Flopper, and NEVER back it up with any facts. If you have them, bring them.

McCain's address to the conservative movement isa sellout of his country.

The recent scandal at Walter Reed in which the Washington Post stated that the White Hosue pressured the Army to privatize the care of our wounded troops. The privatized company cut the staff from 300 to 50, with no mention of adjustment in payments, and turned Walter Reed into a cesspool for our troops. The general in charge was scapegoated and the Army refused to let him testify before a Senate investigatin committee according to the ArmyTimes. The conservatives who raped our wounded troops undoubtedly have Support our Troops bumper stickers. This is the level of ethics that we are dealing with in the conservative movement.

The subprime mess is another example of getting government out of our lives. We had established, over many years, solid guidelines for extending mortgages to home owners. The guidelines were trashed, the greed and coruption took over and we ended up with total anarchy in the financial markets.

As for the legislation on invading our private lives. If either party has unlimitted acces to our private information, without effective supervision, it is absolutely inevitable that the signifcant percentage of power hungry, ethically challenged politicians in Washington D.C. will find a way to abuse the authority that they have been given. We have been there many times before including J. Edgar Hoover (FBI) collecting data to intimidate and/or blackmail politicians.

I will close by saying that Iraq is not a high school football game and that we are not going to have a clear victory. It is still a mess - damned if we do and damned if we don't. Our biggest problem in pullng out may be that the controlling Shia Iraqis may form a close alliance with Shia IRAN and Hezbollah. The Iraqis have already expressed their gratitude to us by awarding contrats exceeding a billion dollars to China and Iran. Anyboy who still thinks invading Iraq was a good idea needs a mental exam.

I can support McCain. Perhaps what this country needs is a more moderate approach. The two-party system is a little screwed up right now. All they do is argue with each other. McCain has the guts to not be held hostage by his party. Go McCain!!.. (However, if Huckabee is on the same ticket I will not know what to do. I could never vote for Huckabee. So if Huckabee is on the ticket...I will pray for an Independent to enter the race and rescue us)

"Over the last decade, he [Romney] had changed his views......" If changing your mind over a decade is being dishonest, disgenuine, or flip-flopping, then what do you call congressmen and politicians who do it in a mere few hours or days??? McCain seemed to change his mind on many things in a few months, luckily just as the campaign was getting started, especially about things with which he helped co-sponsor legislation on!! So that means that he'll sponsor legislation to erase his previous "mistakes"?

No class Mr Fineman. No class.

America would be lucky to have a President as capable, intelligent, qualified, and accomplished as Mitt Romney. Even in stepping aside, he showed incredible class...something you didn't seem mature enough to do yourself in your final parting shot.

This is the most vicious and totally untrue article that Howard Fineman has ever written. Mitt Romney explained the reasons why he changed some of his positions along the way in his political career and his reasons were all genuine and clear. How dare Howard Fineman slander an upstanding and intelligent man like Mitt Romney? I am extremely disappointed.

No class Mr Fineman. No class.
