[...] candidate-most likely Romney or Thompson. And after a close friend of Tancredo’s, Iowa congressman Steve King, endorsed Thompson, Thompson seemed to be in line to get the nod from Tommy the Tank. But that was not to [...]

Not supporting Romney because of his Mormon faith only highlights that bigotry is too widely accepted in the so called enlighted minds.

Why would anyone in their right mind endorse Mitt Romney? It’s just a waste of time.

1)In the General Election, like it or not, his Mormon Faith will become an issue again.

2) He will struggle to get minority votes. And all his flip flopping reminds you of John Kerry 2004. The Democrats will laugh all the way to the White Houses.

3)More importantly, Romney has burned so many bridges, he will have a tough time finding an adequate running mate. Cross Huckabee, McCain, and Giuliani off his list because they can’t stand the man. He’s a liar and flip flopper who can’t be trusted.

I’ve been with the GOP for over 35 years and I can honestly say if Romney makes it to the General Election, get ready to have a Democrat President for at least the next four years.

[...] Endorsement by Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King (Thompson must make a good showing in Iowa if he is to be taken seriously in later contests) [...]

DMac, you can’t make a statement like that without something to back it up. Congressman King looked at all the candidates and made up his mind based on how he felt about all of them - like ALL AMERICANS SHOULD. Just because you don’t agree with the man does not give you the right to call him a political hack, it gives you the right to vote for another candidate.

And yes, if you did a little bit of research, you would find I am the second cousin once removed ascending of Congressman King. That doesn’t mean I completely agree with him either; I just wanted to disclaim the family ties, in case anyone WANTED to do any research into his family and found my name.

what do you know, Romney does get a king. U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., endorsed Romney for president today.

King fooled even himself! He described all the good points of Romney and drawbacks of Thompson and then reversed who he was supporting. King is a fool for supporting Thompson, but he is not crazy or he would have endoresed Huckabee.

Huckabee has enougfh endorsements: Chuck Norris, The Dixie Chicks, CNN, Home Schoolers and Jed Clampett.

Ohh Scotty, Sour Grapes are not only infantile but, it also demonstrates you can’t learn by what King said by what you’ve clearly not done yourself;

“My long and exceptionally deliberative evaluation of the Republican candidates for president has come to an end,” King said

Let me help you out here…King checked all the records and found out who was telling the truth. Grow up and learn Scotty.

What a waste of an endorsement. Congressman King must be asleep in front of the same TV that Fred is snoring at.
