Sorry to start another political thread. I'm gonna start looking up his stances & history. I like what I see so far though.
-

Noithing against mormans mind you.......:rolleyes:
-
Or Mormons.
-
It would be fresh to have a woman, black, or a mormon in the white house other than WASP:)

oh sure, that's a good reason to elect someone.
JFK was not a WASP, he was catholic.

Both Kerry and Lieberman are jews. They could have been elected.
-
I thougt Clinton was the first black president.
-
ahem Kerry is also Catholic
-
so its mormon not morman but with a capitol M?
Maybe I was thinking Normans....
-
big issues for me:
flip-flops almost as much as Hillary
not strong on the 2nd (supported the Brady Bill and the AWB)
supports amnesty for illegals
appointed very liberal judges in Mass
pro-war/pro-torture
supports the continuation of the war on drugs.
not as big for me, might matter to you:
pro-choice (a lot of evidence, including abortions being included as a "benefit" in the Mass heath care system)
for federal funding of stem-cell research
then there's the whole "I'd check with the lawyers" comment and the strapping his dog to the roof of his car thing.
in my view he's not as horrible as some of the others (Giuliani) but he's still a statist, big-government totalitarian, not a small-government conservative.

Here is a unique idea, what say we vote for the best candidate and not because they are black, a woman or a differant religion?
-
I'm starting to think Romney is a stuffed shirt, never says anything that isn't run through his advisers first
-
heya bsaddict... how hard do you think I rolled my eyes today when my own txdad said he was leaning toward RP!?! LOL. Interesting post there. I actuallly hadn't really started looking into any of his past stuff. TxDad had plenty to say about him too.

Edit: That could lead to some interesting thanksgiving dinner conversation... :) I'm looking forward to heading home for turkey day, got about half the famdamily voting for RP so far, workin' on the rest... :)

I can change my name to Kaprowski, but that doesn't make me Polish.

heck yeah, me too. we need more of that.

Something makes me uneasy about having a president whose eternal salvation is in the hands of other men. I think I'll pass.

I'll remind you that txdad is older and wiser than you... ;)
Other than Ron Paul, the rest of the pack on both sides aren't even human. They're all political Frankensteins grown from petri dishes in the laboratories of former carnival hucksters.

Watch this gem of a clip...move it ahead to 5 minutes into it...

Good ole Mrs Ancient McCain, with her Forest Gump son, blast Romney and the Mormons. No less than 10 seconds latter, Gump is quickly dishing out the "The views of my Mother are not necessarily my own views" :rofl
Like someone else posted, let's just vote for the person who seems the most qualified. Religion hasnt been an issue in presidential politics for a long time. But let's thank Mrs McCain and her ancient views for bringing us back to 1960.
-
He is the governor of a state that keeps Teddy in the Senate. For that alone I wont vote for him,him being a mormon is just an added bonus.
-
I hear Romney is a good technocrat.
I think he's electable:aok
-
Well, I did a little looking around, and it seems like Mitt ain't as great as he would appear to be on any sound-byte. Not at all consistent; seems that his stances change to suit the voting audience for which he's performing. Too bad. If there were a thumbs-down smilie, I'd post it here.

Mitt Romney is not a Governor of any state... anymore.
He quit state politics to run for President.
Massachusetts has a governor by the name of Deval Patrick [D].
(http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/cityDesk/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/patrick.jpg)
Massachusetts is interesting... a Blue State that often elects a Red Governor.
I shall not vote for Mitt... I think he is a politician’s politician who is devoid of backbone and Presidential leadership skills thus would have party puppet strings attached to his every body part controlling his every action or inaction.
Personally, I have had quite enough with having a Republican Party Puppet in office; nor do I want a Democrat Puppet either.
As I see it, pickings are slim.

Being a student of history and a conneisseur of the spoken word, I find myself yearning more and more for a candidate of Churchill's strength, stature, and oratorical skills.
Alas...
