I didn’t like John McCain during the primaries because I felt he ran a dirty campaign against Romney. Nor did I feel he best represented conservative values. I’m still not crazy about him. I am crazy about Romney. After all the under-handed jabs at romney from the other nominees, particularly from McCain it’s good to hear McCain publically recognizing Romney’s qualities. If Romney is the VP nomminee I will be excited about the campign again.

One other comment for two7five7one–the comment “use your head, and vote for Obama” is laughable. I have yet met someone who successfully makes a fact based argument for Obama. It is purely emotional. People like him because he gives good speeches. Nobody knows what he would really do, his track record is unimpressive, and his past life (close friendship with several strange characters–including a real racist) is scarey. What about this involves using your head? Nothing. It is about using your emotions, and basing your vote on hope. You need to come to grips with the reality that you are an emotionally driven voter, not cerebral.

Romney is a fabulous man. I will back him with my cash, time, and vote. I hope he is selected as VP. But if he is not, perhaps McCain can select another good conservative, (e.g. Rick Santorum), or perhaps a Democrat and state he is only going to run for one term. If he selects a fiscally moderate Republican (e.g. Crist, Huckabee) , annointing such a person as the next GOP leader, I will not support McCain. As for people like two7five7one, I’m sorry you received your education at the hands of liberals who haven’t accomplished anything but talk. 1) Mormons were never more racist than the children of Israel (read about them in the old testament), 2) he is not two faced, he is effective communicator and is able to change emphasis–he is only changed on one position–abortion, 3) your quote about Romney is not correct, Romney simply was defending his sons and did not say they were not in Iraq b/c they were helping him–he said they were serving their country in a different way, 4) it is true that if there wasn’t oil, we wouldn’t be there, because the place would have no influence, but given the amount of influence the place had, we had to intervene–it wasn’t about capturing oil–it was about curbing influence of people who effectively worked against US interests–if you are an American you should actually care about the interests of your country, 5) He does not agree with Bush on immigration (Romney wants to enforce the law), he is not in favor of a faith based initiatie, etc.

two7five7one:

There is something really wonky about your thinking.

First, it’s two-faced to accuse Mitt of racism for something his church did — and then bow down and worship at the feet of Obama….

How does running as a liberal relate to whether one is or isn’t a person of faith…? Are liberals supposed to be irreligious or something?

Face it. You misunderstood Romney’s views on abortion. He was ALWAYS personally pro-life (he’s a Mormon, duh!), but said he would not change the laws on abortion. His only flip was to say that abortion should be a state issue, not a federal one (where it could still end up pro-choice).

I agree that if this were a necessary war, his sons would be out fighting it, as would you and every other red-blooded American.

two7five7one:

I think Obama and his supporters had best think long and hard about accusing ANYONE of racism — especially racism that is only inferred because of an association with a particular church.

Yeah Romney: If you want someone who is:
1)a racist, (went along with Mormon institutional racism until 1973)
2)two-faced (ran as a liberal in Mass. now as a born again Christian for Pres.),
3)insincere (”My sons are not in Iraq because they are serving the country working for my campaign”)
4)ignorant of the US position in the middle east (It’s not the democracy, Mitt, it’s the oil we’re after.)
5)yet another George Bush imitation (agrees with Bush on almost every issue.

Then select Mitt. Otherwise, use your head, and vote for Obama.

Dan,

There is nothing strong about the American position. In fact, it has never been more precarious. We are in massive debt to our enemies because we will not live within our means. Our dollar is becoming worthless. Our leaders think following the rule of law is silly. Your civil liberties are forfeit.

Quit obsessing about Romney and Huckabee. They are both part of the problem, as is McCain, as is Obama, as is Hillary.

This country needs to be saved from the brink of ruin.

Mccain is too smart to pick a LOSER like Mitt Romney. American saw Romney cheat and try to buy America. We told him NO.

We must do whatever it takes to keep Mitt Romney from having ANY government office. Romney is a corrupt jerk who only hurts our strong American position.
