Home Run

As a member of the LDS Church (Mormon) - I have been somewhat interested in why Romney is playing the "politician". It appears that any policitican will say what is needed to win, whether it is McCain, Huckabee, Thompson, or any other - they are trying to appeal to the people. THere isn't a democrat that is any different either! The bottom line, pick someone with guts, morals, and someone you think will do well - becuase they will all say what they think you want to hear. Want someone to do what they really think, and be a straight shooter with you? Pick George Bush - no one can accuse the man of not doing what he felt was right. He has done that - and no one has appreciated it for the most part. He isn't influenced by public opinion. But, to think that a politician is going to be straight with you during the elections!? Come on, you will either believe what they say or you won't. Romney is no different than any of the others, regardless of party.

Bristol74, who cares what Romney or any other candidate believes about Christ, it's about the econony stupid! Religion has no place in politics. If you want religion, go to church!

Romney has won because he knows what he is doing and people have voted because they have and still will have confidence in him as a president. jensenvideo has said it all in the comment posted.

Romney is doing a good job. He has come in second in two primaries and 1st in Michigan. Try and match that with the other candidates. His support has been steady and I believe he has a good chance of becoming the next president . Lucky for America, the voter is usually smarter than the media. I am amazed at how mean and personal people get when it comes to politics. You can usually tell an intelligent person from a ridiculous smoke blowing, talking head, because the intelligent person talks about issues. The average American is tired of listening to the personal jabs.

Just as dexdexter has his opinion, my firend that lived in Massachusetts said Mitt was a rare politician that had integrity in doing what he said he would completing all 90 promises that he made. He said Mitt didn't make all the decisions people wanted, he actually went against the grain of cutting out waste and making people mad by cutting government jobs. He enforced laws that already existedin the tax code that dishonest people were taking advantage of. On the other side though he said that Mitt moved the state forward by balancing the budget and creating a surplus. So everyone will have their opinion and I for one believe my friend as I have studied Romney, and my friend is closer to the truth.

He won because he knows what he is doing and people know that and are confident that he would fight for what is best for everyone. Lets not forget that they fight and do all they can in their power to get things better for everyone but he or whom ever becomes president has to go through a process to get these laws and decisions approved.

As a lifelong republican I am incredibly dissapointed with this result. I am a Massachusetts resident and can certify that this man in no way keeps his word. Two years after running for governor under one platform, he ran for President on another, bashing the state that elected him around the country. They don't call him "*** Romney" here for nothing!

Mitt Romney won Michigan the same way he came in second in Iowa and New Hampshire, by vastly outspending all of his opponents put together and by telling crowds whatever he decided they wanted to hear that day. His promises to reverse the one state recession in Michigand and, especially, that he would reverse the job losses in the auto industry are pandering of the worst sort. Even if Mitt is the financial genius his supporters believe he is, he can't do any of that. McCain had the guts to tell the truth. Perhaps it hurt him, but he left with his integrity in tact.

Romney wakes up every morning and has to decide what role he will play that particular day. This is the main reason, not his Mormonism, why he is a distant fourth in national polls for the GOP nomination. He simply cannot outspend all the rest of the candidates put together in every single state and expect to cruise to the nomination.

Who said you can't buy an elaction? Only 20% of the total registered voters in michigan came out to vote compared to virtually all of the voters in New Hampshire. Romneys' arguments about what is wrong with washington; that it is broken and needs " CHANGE " sounds more like a Democratic cabdidates'Retoric than the Positive and Logical conservative presentations of a Republican like Fred Thompson. The Michigan voters should be ashamed of themselves for swallowing such drivell. Do they expect him to come up with a "MAGIC PILL" to solve their problems which they themselves are responsible for? When the workers bought one of the big companies and threw out the corrupt management making it worker owned and went from being in the red to being in the black in one year, I thought they finally had a handle on the cause of their problems. Apparently NOT since they must have given themselves UNREASONABLE raises and dividends causing a rise in the cost of steel and the cost of parts made by smaller companies wanting to keep pace. A car that retailed for $ 2000 dollars in 1974 now costs $24000 an increase of 1200 percent in only 33 years compared to an increase of 500 percent in the previous 40 years.Romneys' record like those of the Democrats shows that his solution is to spend more money on programs that won't work and haven't worked for the past 57 years.Will he be spending his money like he has been to get elacted? NO! He will be spending YOUR MONEY just like the Democrats will and have in the past.Amnesty for illegal immigrants who will pay a fine? Won't that open the door for more illegal immigrants from every country who have the money to pay the fine and bypass the current immigration law? Of course it will causing an unsustainable drain on the social security and welfare systems as well as the healthcare and school systems.Can't you see that these programs proposed by Romney,( Juliani another democrat) and the Democratic candidates are all related ? This is NOT a GAME as many commentators would have you believe. Just count the number of times it is referred to as a game during one broadcast.They are predicting the winners with no concern for the losers."So what?, you ask." The real losers will be ("YOU").

Hmmmm.. Sorry about all the ???? apparently all my apostrophes (') turned into question marks in the translation.

I'm just glad Ron Paul got so many more votes than Rudy Giuliani.
