Comments on: Romney Takes Most Fire In GOP Debate

Former Mass. Governor Clashes With Huckabee On Foreign Policy, McCain On Immigration

[heartlandjim]

Mike Huckabee talked about vertical politics last night. Finally somebody is willing to pull both sides together and do something for us. Then he talked about energy independence in 10 years. That''s a bold plan. Then Romney popped in and said that''s impossible. If we put a man on the moon in ten years why can''t we do energy independence in the same amount of time? Mike Huckabee won my vote.

His teaming up with Huckabee to try and discredit Romney with personal attacks should be the last straw for those on the fence about John McCain.

True, anyone on the fence about John McCain should jump off and throw their support to a true conservative instead of a religious fanatic like Huckabee or Romney. For Christ''s sake, haven''t we seen enough of what religious fanatics have done to this world in the past decade alone? How much waste of human life and resources over whose god is the true god, when all of them are ridiculous, irrational and totally fabricated? It''s time to grow up and evolve past these primitive beliefs; the future of our species depends on it. Of course, the fanatics (including our profoundly stupid president) don''t care about life on this planet because they are all hoping and praying in vain for armageddon.

Mussolini was tried for war crimes by the very people he sold out...they tried, convicted and excuted in a matter of hours...and then hung he and his h.o in public view for days...power to the people.

I''m so sick and tired of John McCain''s how dare you make mention of my record on anything, I''m a war hero ***. It may not be obvious on the surface, but his arrogant demeanor towards Romney spells this guy out like the alphabet. Totally predictable on temperamental level, and quite honestly not fit to be president if he can not control his temper or his emotions. The forum in which he is in demands a man with more self control than he has demonstrated, and frankly that combined with 71 years of age scares me to death when it comes to him being a president. His teaming up with Huckabee to try and discredit Romney with personal attacks should be the last straw for those on the fence about John McCain.

Ron Paul has been "eclipsed" in all of the debates because they give him scant time...won''t even put his picture in the paper even though they had pics of Clinton, Obama etc.

This is all part and parcel of the attempt to market candidates from the Establishment stable who will get the most support in a given demographic...the hope is that the electorate will be split among them so that theselection can be made in the "smoke-filled rooms" at the convention, thus excluding Ron Paul.

Make no mistake about it, the Republican primaries represent a contest between Ron Paul and the Republican Party and if you vote for any other candidate besides Paul in the primaries, you are going
to get a continuation of ''politics as usual.''

Quoting from the article: McCain said of Romney: "We have significant differences but those differences will be aired in a positive and respectful manner."

After Saturday''s debates, neither McCain nor Huckabee can pretend to being positive or respectful when it comes to Romney.

GOP please nominate Mitt Romney and give us the biggest Democratic sweep ever

[brianbwb-2009]

No more Republicans, period.

And no Democrats who are closet right wingers who won''t advocate real deviation from the status quo.

In fact, the candidate who uses as a platform summary the words "F*ck the status quo", has my vote, and probably 75% of all the others.

Romney''s kind of a slickster, but do Republicans ultimately care?

Like it''s okay for us to like Obama because there isn''t really any policy in-fighting amongst us Democrats - we''re mostly unified. Huckabee and Ron Paul have that same likeable personality on the right, but their tax policies seem to be somewhat untraditional which must freak out the fiscal conservatives. Also, they don''t get along with Bush.

If the economy is the number one issue for people (which is what the polls say it is), then wouldn''t that seem to give Romney and maybe Rudy the edge?

I don''t know . . . what''s going on with the Republicans?!? So fractured . . .

Wait a minute.

Mussolini and Kissinger may have war crimes convictions. I am not sure.
