If you and he are not willing to admit that he screws up now and then (i.e. tells half truths or that like all the other candidates he exaggerates) then there''''s little hope you or he will be taken seriously."

I''m not saying he walks on water. ALL politicians are opportunists. It''s part of the competitive game. But I like Romneys sincerity. He stated in the debate "I CHANGED MY MIND". I like that. Very simple. Very direct.

"An aide to Sen. Maria Cantwell (DEMOCRAT) is in federal custody after being arrested on a charge of attempting to sexually exploit a MINOR."--Posted by skykk


Totally irrelevant and off topic. The usual Slime Boat tactics of the Neoconscum. Cantwell isn''t running for President, and it was an aide who is accused.

How many of Bushit''s chums have been accused and would have been convicted of felonies were the pardon machine not running among the hypocrit Tighty Whitey Righties!

"''Paroled Rapist Could Haunt Huckabee''''
No Willie Horton here. Sorry CBS.

Why not? After the guy was released, he was convicted of murdering a woman in Missouri and is the leading suspect in the rape and murder of another woman. Sounds a lot like Willie Horton to me.

"It''s an unfortunate incident," said Carter, Huckabee''s director of research, of the DuMond case. "He is devastated by what happened, but he felt he did no wrongful action."

Are you kidding me? An "unfortunate incident" is losing your wallet. DuMond was released and then he proceeded to rape and kill a woman. If Huckabee is so devastated then why can''t he admit that he did wrong? His actions directly lead to the release of a violent felon. This was not the only felon that Huckabee pardoned in those days. The word in AR was that he felt that if these guys had "found God" in prison, then they should be released and given a second chance. At that time there were other rapists/felons "finding God" b/c they knew they had a chance at getting Executive Clemency from a religious governor. This man has no business leading a country, let alone a state. He needs to go back to his pulpit before he does anymore damage.

He has laughed off every answer. While I appreciate a sense of humor, I want a straight, serious answer out of Huckabee concerning what he will do about terrorism, foreign policy, healthcare, education or gas prices. America has real issues and we need real solutions. This funny guy act is getting old."

I totally agree. Oh I forgot, he also wants to get rid of the IRS. Another comic statement. Here''s my comic response: BWAHAHAHAHA!

Oh really? Mitt Rommels 4 sons are helping his fathers presidential bid. Posted by neoconism: "Mitt recently touted this as his "sons service to their country to get him elected, similar to US soldiers serving in Iraq." Seems to me that we are dealing with a family of cowards, swindlers, and used car salesmen. Thanks to Mitt Rommel and his 4 sons for serving their country by putting their Mormon Cult before country.."

Once again you''re incorrect. It''s not a requirement to serve in the military for a person running for president nor for the children of that person. Some of America''s best leaders/presidents never served in the military nor did their children. Get a life.

A poor judgement of character on Huckabee''s part, perhaps politically motivated. This poor judgement of character should be enough for the voters regardless if Huckabee had anything to do with Wayne Dumond parole.

posted by neoconism: "Oh really? Then explain why Mitt Rommel did not serve in Vietnam? Rommel managed to avoid the troubles of the Vietnam war when his daddy, a Mormon big cheese, certified boy Mitt as a "preacher man" because he was handing out the usual Mormon crock door to door."

Mitt was never certified by his father as a "preacher". Do some fact checking. Mitt was a missionary in France for 30 months. After his mission service Romney began attending Brigham Young University, where he graduated as valedictorian, earning his B.A. summa *** laude in 1971. In 1975, Romney graduated from a joint JD/MBA program coordinated between Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. He graduated *** laude from the law school and was named a Baker Scholar for graduating in the TOP 5 PERCENT of his business school class. What did you do with YOUR life?

You''re right about Huckleberry, but Romney dodged the Vietnam draft by pretending to be a minister--he got a "religious minister" exemption--not Conscientious Objector status, but an exemption because he was handing out Books of Mormon in France.

So maybe he''s an ex-minister, pastor, or priest.

"Name one GOP presidential candidate who will not self-destruct from their past record of incompetence?
ANSWER: None of them! The GOP is DOA in 2008!"

All save Ron Paul! His voting record in Congress even beats Hillary.

"In fact, Ron Paul voted for tax cuts in time of war with no accompanying spending cuts to offset them."

You check his voting record or you induced it? RP voted against for tax cuts and the spending. Take a minute and understand his positions. He really makes sense. Compare Ron Paul''s fiscal and foreign policies to the rest of the GOP and Dems and you''ll see he has the best position to move America forward again.

Ron Paul is not right wing, left wing, middle of the road or any of that nonsense. He wants to save the middle class from a bloated federal government and big corporate interests.

IMHO I don''t know how anyone could vote for this baptist preacher flim flam man . The evangelical sheeple are getting the wool pulled over their eyes. Big time. The (lib) media are hyping this guy because they know he''s a loser. Has anyone ever seen them so smitten for a baptist preacher who wears his faith on his sleeve??? Get real. Romney''s still the best candidate the GOP has had in a very long time.

"Ron Paul is still a REPUG "

No, no, my friend, please look before you leap!!

Yes, RP is a true Republican who puts individual liberties & freedom ahead of BIG business and the power of the federal government. Anyone remember those guys, the real GOP? Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower??

Unlike Hillary, Congressman Paul voted against the authorization for the invasion on Iraq, voted against the traitorous "Patriot" Act. Ron Paul has never voted for a tax increases. He has repeatedly called to the carpet the failed foreign & fiscal policies of George W Bush that has ruined the dollar and created record deficits. The middle class is an endangered species in America!

In fact, Ron Paul voted for tax cuts in time of war with no accompanying spending cuts to offset them.
He had to have known this would unbalance the budget, so therefore he definitely voted for an unbalanced budge.

Furthermore, these tax cuts so unbalanced the budget that the national debt has nearly doubled, raising the interest on the debt to nearly one $1/2 trillion. EVERY year.

If Ron Paul did not know this then He is definitely NOT presidential material.

This $1/2 trillion comes from taxes, so; in effect, he definitely DID vote to raise taxes.

The entire working class is in danger, but another republican president is NOT the answer.

Ron Paul = republican = stay the course
