A McCain endorsement in the 'dead-heat' of Florida

Mark Silva made a earth-shattering deal out of the Orlando Sentinel endorsement.

Unmentioned in the article is that Mr. Silva used to be a political reporter for the--Orlando Sentinel.

real straight talk!

“Mr. McCain stands out, even in this year's crowded field. He has taken positions with which we disagree, but his qualifications to be president are beyond dispute.’’

I hope John McCain didn't have to chase the endorsemnt of The Orlando Sentinel "to the gates of hell."

Seriously though, McCain is the best of the republican field in my view. I look forward to a lively discourse of the countries pressing issues with Mac as the republican nominee. Congratulations to John McCain!!!

I think that, with the South Carolina victory, McCain will win in Florida and then on to the Republican nomination. Because he is a war hero and has a lot of support among independents and conservative Democrats, I think he also will defeat Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to become the next President.

NYT leaves Paul out of their coverage, MSNBC makes a graphic leaving him out even though he bested MCcain in Nevada, some loser on FOX calls him Al Quaeda, the campaign to make him appear not worth voting for maybe the most egregious violation of free speech and the voting system since the FLA debacle. Maybe they should call their news propaganda PRAVDA instead of the free press or whatever. Don't people like to decide the actual vote rather then allow some do gooder at FOX or NYT decide for them?

Maybe the media should stop trying to decide the election for us and in a purely obeservant way report the actual outcomes instead of the preferred outcomes. They make a mockery of a free society, at this point people should vote for Paul merely on the basis of his being discriminated against by the establishment press. The simple fact of the media being in collusion with candidates of preference merely reveals the outlandish and ridiculous sentiments regarding the vote and should propel people to actually cast a vote for the one that has been disregarded on the basis of heiarchical worship. They look to the NYT for the "right" perception of the events and yet these people clearly project an agenda which discriminates against the person that most conflicts with their preferences, that maybe nothing more than a racket and not a matter that should be given to the NYT whom have shown irresponsible behavior with regard to intellectualism.

Ron Paul for the win!!!

McCain is for open borders and amnesty. Voted against republican tax cuts and was going to run in 2004 as a running mate for John Kerry. he is WAY to liberal to ever win the nomination.

We need a true republican. We need Mitt Romney as president. The last true republican in the race.

A vote for McCain is a vote for more of the SAME! How is that working out for you?

So how weird is it that American continues to ask for change but the elite media only supports and offers people like McCain who will provide more of the SAME. Who id we entrust with enacting change in the past? People like McCain and his gang? Oh, but now he knows what change looks like? The elite media asks America to support the same actions that provide the same negative results? Catch my drift? Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and the other elite talk show hacks asked zombies many times to rally against McCain but now they are tolerant of McCain when an outsider now tries to get elected outside of their “good o boys” club. The elite media is taking away the voice of America that want change. I hold the elite media and talk show host responsible for suppressing the voice of the people, with there attacks against those political outsiders.

Only one candidate understands the kind of change American is asking for. He understands change doesn’t mean change of skin color, gender, or poll “a” tician. Huckabee understands Americans are asking for change in the direction of family values, government and tax corruption, programs that do not work, illegal immigration, world trade that favors the other side and energy dependence.

Enough with the programs that damaged family values, school accomplishments, increases crime, and increases corruption in this country. Where does all the big poll “a” tician’s campaign funds come from anyway?

America has a chance for real change right now, or asks for more of the SAME! CHANGE or more of the SAME!

This isn't a "revived campaign", this is a epidemic of short-term memory loss. Lucky for us we have the internet to remind us of the records and past;

John McCain vs. John McCain

John McCain would hurt the Republican Party and conservatives like Jimmy Carter hurt the Democrats. John McCain still supports Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants and is against the Bush Tax Cuts or did he suddenly flip flop? John McCain has a nasty temper and wants us to stay in Iraq for 100 years. We need to stop sending our Economy to the Middle East when its faltering at home. I will vote for Mitt Romney the true conservative who passed health care reform working across the aisle. He turned the State around from a 3 billion dollar deficit with out raising taxes. He has executive experience which is something McCain does not have. Mitt Romney has the business experience to come up with solutions to fix Social Security ssytem which is ready to collapse because of the lack of progress by the Washington Insiders like John McCain. A vote for John McCain is a vote for more of the same, higher taxes, longer war in Iraq, and no solutions!

"Huckabee deserves praise for injecting a civil tone into this year's campaign?"

No real need for the Huckster to attack when he can sit back and let some push-polling group smear his opponents.

The Rollins-style group funded with a lot of money from the founder of the 7-11 chain has beat up Huck's opponents in every early primary state while pretending to do phone surveys.

The concerns any voter should have is whether the next president understands the military, is willing to work with the other party, has actually voted for fiscal restraints, and has garnered the respect of those he serves with by his actions. It is hard to find the entire package, but it seems more clear to many voters today that John McCain had the qualities all along.

I may be showing my age but Mitt Romney reminds me too much of the Nelson Rockefeller/Henry Cabot Lodge wing of the GOP. They and their crowd did everything they could to stand in the way of Ron Reagan and Barry Goldwater. McCain was 100% pro-life when Romney was still a NARAL champion.

First, I haven't seen evidence that Mitt Romney has "abandoned positions that alienate" the conservatives? Second, Mike Huckabee gets credit for injecting civility? What about the negative push polling against Romney, Thompson and McCain - all traced to Huckabee? What about his subtle but oh so calculated attacks on Mormons? Huckabee bares an eerie resemblance to two other Southern Baptists elected to the Presidency in modern times - Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. John McCain has done some flip flopping of his own recently yet the media doesn't seem interested in getting that fact out. McCain has been a maverick against the Republican party for years. They say he has the best chance at defeating Hillary or Obama - could it be because he himself thinks more like a democrat? Mitt Romney is the man we need as President - he's a proven leader with experience in business, strong family values and by far the most intelligent man in the running!

RNC Gadfly Bruce,

If only someone you know... you know... cared?

Poor RNC Gadfly Bruce,

So many things to be against. And nothing to be for.

John McCain's military experience and foreign-affairs experience are impressive. The fact that he suffered as a POW for years for our country is an intangible but deeply significant part of who he is as a man. No wonder he has strong moral views against torture.

Mike Huckabee is very intelligent and articulate, and he is solid on many issues. But he seems to have gotten himself locked into one group of voters, which is unfortunate since he really does have solid views on many issues across the board (see his Web site), and he has a lot of solid experience as a governor for almost 11 years. Regarding the push polls, one group ("Common Sense Issues"), which is *not* affiliated with his campaign is responsible, and many of Huckabee's supporters do not agree with this tactic either. Those push polls hurt, not help, him. Mike Huckabee himself is not behind those push polls, and campaign laws do not allow him to do anything to stop them (by law, he cannot even talk to such 527 groups), other than publicly denounce them, which he has. Accusations aren't facts--neither in those push polls themselves nor in comments accusing Mike Huckabee of being behind them.

Mitt Romney does not seem trustworthy to me either. He has changed views on grave issues so radically in a relatively short period of time, and his picking apart words to avoid getting caught in a lie is troubling (it reminds me of Bill Clinton). There is also the appearance in him of being phony (like John Kerry). I'm not accusing him of being so; I can't judge his heart. But he really comes across that way, and this would hurt his electability, as would his "flip-flopping"--an issue, after all that Bush used against Kerry so effectively.

Rudy Guiliani really has no business running for president. Mayor, then President? Granted, NY City is not your average city. But, being a mayor, even of a large metropolis, doesn't compare with being a governor or long-standing senator. Moreover, his views on abortion, "gay" issues, etc. are completely at odds with the Republican Party and/or its Platform. He is not an authentic conservative. Finally, his blatant unfaithfulness to one of his own wives is very serious and relevant: If a man will break that vow, how can anyone trust that he wouldn't break the vow the incoming president takes when he is sworn into office. He is, by far, the worst of all the Republican candidates running.

You are kidding me!!! Mccain is a traitor to the Republican conservatives. It is laughable that he won SC because of immigration and economy. He is a joke. Bad mouth and worse temper. He has no class.
Attack other candidates personally instead of issues. VOTE FOR ROMNEY!! He is a true statesman. He will be good for our economy. NO skeleton on his closet. I don't have to remind you what Mccain did to his ex-wife. He has no integrity.

MCCAIN IS A JERK! JUST WATCH HIM IN THE DEBATES. HE SITS AND SMIRKS WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS TALKING! Also, look at how the liberal media responds to each candidate. THEY LOVE MCCAIN AND HUCKABEE! Liberals are fools! Are you gonna listen to them? What does the Liberal media say about Mitt Romney? They LOATHE him! Who you gonna trust.

There is no doubt that the choice is either Rudy or McCain. I think McCain is a good guy but he’s been in Washington for almost a quarter of a century. I think he’s had his shot to make anything happen and he hasn’t. Rudy put Republican ideals to work in a city where “republican” was synonymous with evil and came out on top!

As for “Momentum”, thats just a code word the media uses for getting you to vote for the guy they like and have chosen to cover. Quite frankly I respect SC’s choice and thats about it. Iowa was full of hard-right conservatives, NH was liberal independents and MI was Romney home turf. Why should I base my perception of who is electable on their idea of who is electable? 4 states out of 50 have voted and NONE of them have the delegates and sway of Florida! SC may have the streak of electiong the nominee for the last 24 years but no GOP candidate has won the white house without Florida since 1924!!!! THATS WHY FLORIDA IS KEY!!!

RUDY 2008!!

Our friend, Bruce, made an interesting point above -- that I was a reporter for the Orlando Sentinel. That is right, political editor for three years and some. And before that, a reporter for the Miami Herald, for some 21 years, including as senior political writer -- all of which might explain why I know something about Florida -- whose primary I will be covering for the week ahead. So join us, please. even you, Bruce.

Senator McCain's two sons serve our country. As a pilot, John McCain proudly served our nation. It is undeniable that he loves the United States. He respects the rule of law and understands the complexities and dangers of our world.

I, for one, will sleep better at night knowing that President John McCain's steady hand is at the helm.

Let's give him a chance. He's earned it.

Ideological purists should back off a bit. McCain is probably the best candidate for the WH among the Republicans.

How would Ronald Reagan have withstood the current atmosphere of conservative perfectionism?

http://thepoliticalpost.wordpress.com/2008/01/20/the-real-reagan-and-modern-day-conservative-purists/

I can't believe there is a McCain consensus.

He's not a republican; he spoke at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. That's unthinkable to Reaganism!

Also, there is a real chance he could die in office - he's a real old dude.

Lastly, these newspaper endorsements are marks of McCain being a liberal; heaven forbid that they endorse a conservative.

From here Romney or Ron Paul are the two most full packaged conservatives...

Let's hope McCain passes away of old age before November (onery old man).

"Hey kids! Stay off my lawn!", John McCain

We're seeing all the sour grapes come out from the Dittohead crowd because it's becoming more and more clear that McCain will win the Republican nomination and that they backed the wrong horse.

For the final time I'll ask you all, how is paying a $1,500 and going through an at least five year path to citizenship "amnesty?" How many of all of your ancestors were immigrants? Thought so.

Reagan wouldn't stand the fire arch conservatives are grilling McCain with these days. You guys will eventually have to recognize electability. McCain is the only candidate who beats Hillary and Obama head-to-head and that's a race that EVERYONE, not just republicans, votes in.

p.s. Silva, while the campaign might appear to be "phenomenally revived" to some, to those of us who've been on the inside volunteering and making phone calls it looks like the same candidate and the same message all along. I'm glad the media has finally noticed it.

p.p.s. The Sentinel is a huge endorsement and I don't think it matters a bit that Mr. Silva used to work there.

In the internet age, driveby media endorsements of liberal darlings like John McCain are irrelevant.
Why should conservatives listen to our avowed enemies the liberals in choosing our nominee.
John McCain is a war hero and that's great but, his policies are more like Democrats than Republicans.
McCain was against Bush tax cuts twice,for McCain Feingold that is anti-first amendment in stopping non incumbents from attacking incumbents 60 days before an election--the gall of this tyrant.
McCain is for McCain Lieberman when he joined Algore's religion on global warming. McCain is still pushing amnesty for illegals even though he knows it's is not popular.
Ross Perot in an interview in Newsweek says McCain is too much a Democrat and mentions that when McCain was in the service his first wife Carol called Perot for help and he gave it her and paid for needed surgery. When McCain came back he dumped Carol because she had a limp for his present wife Cindy who inherited the Anheuser Busch distributor for Arizona.
George Will in yesterdays column says McCain is a Democrat.Conservative Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter say he is the enemy a liberal Democrat.
Giuliani and Mitt Romney will take Florida. McCain can have the drivebys when they're finished with him they will endorse Hillary or Obama. GOP say No to John mcCain in 08! Jerry White, Springfield, IL

Would Americans be so quick to call a Chinese pilot who was captured trying to stop the spread of capitalism by piloting bombing raids on the London civilian population a hero?

Let's hope McCain passes away of old age before November (onery old man).

"Hey kids! Stay off my lawn!", John McCain

Hey Clubbie Tim. Learn how to spell ornery. Then GET OFF MY LAWN!!! D-Bag.

John McCain is the only republican who is electable. You right wing nuts need to get with that idea. Better yet don't.

Vote democrat in 2008!!!

MITT ROMNEY IS RIGHT AND HERE IS WHY.
WE ARE LOSING JOBS TO CHINA AND OUR TRADE DEFICIT IS OUT OF CONTROL WHICH IS CAUSING THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR TO FALL SHARPLY.
MITT MADE A CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO MICHIGAN AND HE KNOWS HOW TO KEEP IT.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO SAVE THE AUTO INDUSTRY AS WELL AS OTHER U.S. JOBS?
HERE'S HOW.
MITT ROMNEY JUST UNVEILED AN ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE WHICH INSTEAD OF CALLING FOR US TO WRITE OURSELVES A CHECK TO THE TUNE OF $800 PER PERSON TO PAY OUR OWN BILLS, MITT SAYS WE SHOULD CUT THE CORPORATE TAX RATE TO 20% AND REMOVE UNFAIR GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS ON U.S. BUSINESSES SUCH AS THE C.A.F.E. STANDARDS FOR THE AUTO INDUSTRY.
MITT IS RIGHT, WASHINGTON WHICH IS BROKEN, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS OF U.S. JOBS AND THE NON-COMPETITIVE NATURE OF OUR AUTO INDUSTRY. THEY TAX U.S. CORPORATIONS RIGHT OUT OF COMPETITION, AND PLACE EXTRA BURDENS ON U.S. BUSINESSES WHICH CAUSE THEM TO NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE. WASHINGTON IS THE PROBLEM-WASHINGTON IS BROKEN AND MUST BE FIXED!

FOREIGN AFFAIRS-A PERIODICAL OUT NOW HAS A WHOLE GROUP OF ARTICLES ON CHINA. ONE OF THOSE ARTICLES HAS TO DO WITH THE NOTION THAT THE CHINESE HAVE KEPT THEIR CURRENCY ARTIFICIALLY LOW THEREBY CAUSING THEIR GOODS TO BE CHEAPER-THEREBY CAUSING THE TRADE DEFICIT AND PUSHING DOWN THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR.

HOWEVER, THE KEY ARTICLE ON THIS ISSUE POINTS OUT THAT A CUT IN THE U.S. CORPORATE TAX TO 20% WOULD DO MORE, ACTUALLY SO MUCH MORE THAN IF THE CHINESE ALLOWED THEIR CURRENCY TO RISE TO IT'S REAL VALUE.
THE PROBLEM IT SEEMS IS THAT WASHINGTON HAS TIED THE HANDS OF U.S. COMPANIES SO THEY CANNOT COMPETE. U.S. COMPANIES ALSO MUST SPEND MORE EACH YEAR DEFENDING THEMSELVES IN LAWSUITS THAN ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. THEY CANNOT FAIRLY COMPETE. IT IS LIKE A FOOTBALL GAME WHERE THE FORTY NINERS OPPONENTS ARE ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH IN JUST THEIR PADS, WHILE THE OTHER TEAM IS FORCED TO WEAR 50 LB. ANKLE WEIGHTS TO PLAY THE GAME. OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT HARD TO SEE WHO WILL WIN.
U.S. BUSINESSES AND WORKERS CAN COMPETE WITH THE OTHER NATIONS IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IF THEY ARE GIVEN A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD. IF WE CHANGE WASHINGTON.
MITT ROMNEY'S MESSAGE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE SAYING WASHINGTON IS BROKEN IS THE SAME AS HE SAID IN MICHIGAN WHERE HE SAID HE COULD HELP THE AUTO INDUSTRY AND OTHER U.S. INDUSTRIES SAVE JOBS.

HERE IN CALIFORNIA WE ARE IN A DEEP REAL ESTATE DRIVEN RECESSION. WE HAD THE FRAUD IN THE STOCK MARKET DURING THE DOT COM. TECH STOCK BOOM. IPO'S OPENNED IN THE MORNING AT $10 THEN WENT TO $100 BYTHE END OF THE DAY. WHERE ARE THE TECH STOCKS NOW? MANY ARE GONE FOREVER, MOST IN FACT. THE REAL ESTATE MARKET WAS DRIVEN BY MORTGAGE BROKERS AND REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS WHO PUSHED UP VALUES. MOST HOMES WERE OVERVALUED AND BANKS LENT TOO MUCH. NOW, WE ARE CORRECTING AND EXPERTS SAY THAT PRICES WILL NOT BE BACK TO THEIR HIGHS FOR PERHAPS 10 YEARS!!!! IT MAY BE LONGER IF WE DO NOT CHANGE OUR TAX STRUCTURE AND ELECT SOMEONE LIKE MITT ROMNEY, WHO ACTUALLY TURNS AROUND U.S. BUSINESSES FOR A LIVING TO STAIGHTEN OUT THIS MESS.

MITT ROMNEY HAS BEEN FAITHFUL AND A TRUSTED HUSBAND FOR OVER 37 YEARS!
HE HAS 5 SONS WHO ARE HUSBANDS AND FATHERS AND THEY ALL LOVE AND RESPECT AND BELIEVE IN THEIR DAD!
NO SCANDALS, NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL PROBLEMS, NO INFIDELITY
WHICH OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES CAN WE TRUST MORE?

AMERICA AND CALIFORNIA WE NEED MITT ROMNEY!!!

You guys are so full of it. McCain was never "against" the Bush tax cuts. He wanted Bush to cut spending, too, which he STILL hasn't done. And you call yourselves conservatives? Please. If John McCain had had his way we wouldn't be in the economic mess we're in today.

The Supreme Court has upheld McCain-Feingold as completely within the First Amendment.

A 5-year path to citizenship and a $1,000 fine is NOT amnesty.

Jerry White, you're pathetic. McCain will win Florida and if you want to see someone who LOVES raising taxes and fees I suggest you look at your buddy Mitt Romney. He was also for abortion before he was against it.

You can have the "drive bys" like H. Ross Perot and George Will and Ann Coulter. The things you're saying about McCain are just below the belt. No one got "dumped" because they had a limp. McCain's first wife, Carol, supports his run for the presidency. You, Jerry White, are now just as irrevelent as Ross Perot.

Your explanation would hold water Jeff if McCain hadn't folded like a lawn chair and ended up voting for the tax cuts. If he was intellectually honest about demanding spending cuts at the same time, his vote would not have been to extend the tax cuts. Its called spin and he gets away with it because the press likes him.

For Jeff,

Contrary to what you think, the Senate immigration bill WAS amnesty and, mark my words, a McCain presidency will revive that crappy bill. Let's look at the facts shall we? There is no doubt that the 1986 bill that was passed was indeed amnesty, so let's compare the recent Senate immigration bill to that shall we? The 1986 amnesty bill had certain requirements for applicants. Among them were, applicants must have lived in the United States for a certain period of time or have worked in agriculture, learn English, and (drum roll please) PAY A FINE. Paying a fine does NOT negate that the bill WAS and IS amnesty.

The 1986 amnesty law did not work. Look at things now, it obviously didn't solve the problem. If we pass that Senate immigration bill then 20 years from now, we will be dealing with an even bigger illegal immigration problem. The time has come to stop amnesty John.

True Conservatives beware, John McCain is a liberal in conservatives clothing.

Romney is our only choice to beat McCain. Do NOT split the anti-McCain vote by voting for any other republican besides Romney, you WILL regret it! If you support someone other than Romney, you are helping McCain!

John McCain lied about McCain-Kennedy, claiming that it was NOT an amnesty bill, when it would have demographically flooded this nation with millions more illegals, and legalized the millions that are already here.

He lied about McCain-Feingold, when he claimed that it didn't offend the constitution. He was attempting to blatantly undermine the first amendment with that garbage.

McCain also lied when he cheated on his loyal first wife and married the one he had an adulterous affair with, who is his current wife.

Jeff,

You claimed, “[t]he Supreme Court has upheld McCain-Feingold as completely within the First Amendment.” That’s not true.

In McConnell v. Federal Election Comm’n, 540 U. S. 93 (2003), the Court only held that the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 was not facially overbroad, in that it did substantially burden protected speech under the First Amendment in a manner that required prohibition of all enforcement. (Id., at 207.) In later cases, the Court said the McConnell decision did not resolve all future challenges, and that the BCRA might be unconstitutional as applied in specific circumstances. (See Wisconsin Right to Life, Inc. v. Federal Election Comm’n, 546 U. S. 410, 411, 412 (2006) (per curiam) (WRTL I).) In fulfillment of that prophecy, in June of last year the Court held BCRA’s section 302 was unconstitutional under the First Amendment as applied to pure “issue ads.” (See Federal Election Comm’n v. Wisconsin Right to Life, Inc. 551 U.S. ___ (2007) (WRTL II).) Thus, contrary to being completely in accord with the First Amendment, McCain-Feingold was held to violate the constitutional right to freedom of speech as applied in one case.

You also stated: “A 5-year path to citizenship and a $1,000 fine is NOT amnesty.” As applied to aliens who entered illegally, and who would definitely be subject to deportation absent this plan, I must also respectfully disagree. A five year wait and a 1K fine are not significantly more onerous than having to wait to enter and perform all the stuff that legal immigrants must endure. In fact, they are less onerous because legal immigrants don’t get the benefit of moving here and working before applying to immigrate. Moreover, like our last failed attempt to solve the problem by making all illegal aliens legal (in 1986 with the Simpson-Rodino act), it is bound to encourage more illegal immigration. This is not a solution. It is rubbing salt into an old wound.

I didn't SAY it was less onerous than entering the country illegally, I said it WASN'T AMNESTY! It's not.

It's not making all the illegal aliens legal like Reagan (that horrible liberal) did in 1986. It's a compromise. John and Mike, do you two honestly think this government, which can't get everyone's mail delivered on time, can really round up the close to 20 million illegal immigrants in this country and deport them all?

Good luck with that. McCain is all for enforcement first but we're eventually going to need to give some of these people who have legal children here a chance to become citizens without deportation.

There needs to be a compromise. We can't simply deport everyone.

Yes, McCain-Feingold was found to be in violation in that one specific case but the legislation was upheld overall and the very case you cite was decided in McCain-Feingold's (the government's) favor.

McCain-Kennedy wasn't perfect, but it was the best chance we had at getting something done to solve the immigration crisis we now face. By rejecting it the congress has given us at least three more years of the status quo. No path to citizenship, no extra border security, no peace of mind for the people that want to become American citizens.

Calling all Floridians!

This McCain amnesty thing is a huge mistake. What a horrible way to ruin our already bruised economy. America cannot afford to diagree with McCain on "some issues". This is an important issue! This is not something you sweep under the table. McCain who touts his patriotism is selling out to the hispanic vote, and is hoping America will turn a blind eye to this huge ifraction upon our people.

Huckabee cannot win a national race. His "fair tax" is never gonna fly, and he may come across as a likeable guy, but he seriously lacks true substance. His continous blunders remind me of Geroge W. Bush. We don't need that. He is a social concervative, but so is Romney.

It is sort of annoying that people keep playing the broken record, he changed his stance on social issues. The reason they do is because he stands head and shoulders above the rest of the canidates on every issue, that is only thing they can find wrong with him. And it's its so bizarre because it's not like he is the only one who has ever changed anything. What about Huckabee. In an earlier debate I watched, when asked about the war he said "Where I come from, you break it you buy it." Thompson was right, he is a blame america first guy. And what about the immigration issue Huckabee said he didn't think people should punish children of illegal immigrants, now he is for them all going home. It is really fishy how he never gets called on any that!
Romney is by far the best cannidate. That is why he is BLOWING out the canidates in the West. He has the right stance on immigration, the economy, the war, social issues, health care, energy independance. This guy rocks!
Don't let the media fool you. There is big difference between a flip-flopper and person who has had a real change of heart. Mitt Romney himself has always had a conservative point of view personally- hello he's a Mormon! They are as socially conservative as you get! When he ran in Mass. he just didn't think that he own religious views should be projected on to others. When he became a governer and had to act on his views, and he relaized he could not be pro-choice, and like he said, he came down on the side of life every time he had the opportunity. Mitt Romney is a firm step in the right direction. Go Mitt!

Please see website vietnam veterans against john mccain

He is also pro-amnesty. To my fellow Floridian voters, that means he wants to give all the illegal immigrants in our state a free pass.

He is not the best qualified to help our failing economy. Today's stock mkt. drop is just the beginning of more to come. Ron Paul is the only one who predicted this and took Bernache to task officially. (see youtube videos for more info.)

Do not vote for this man
