Amen solutions9!!

And Mr. Norwood, Your bigoted statement about mormonism is offensive. Would you not vote for him if he were a jew, hindu, muslim or buddhist???

Just because someone has different religious views than you do, doesn't make them a bad person. Look at the guy's life? Do any of the GOP or democratic contenders have anywhere near the experience and quality of character or family values that he does? Do you even know any mormons? You should do a bit more investigation. You might find out that they are actually good people. They were some of the first ones to provide assistance to the Katrina victims. You should start judging people by how they live their lives rather than what you read on some hateful web-site.

Mitt Romney is exactly what America needs.

Someone who has experience building businesses, in the voluntary sector and in government.

Someone who made his money the American way--through hard work, not by using public service for personal gain (how many politicians have started with nothing and made millions because of their public "service"?)

Someone who has been a faithful husband and father, who has stuck by his familial promises and committments.

Someone who is willing to admit when he is wrong and change his views.

Someone who isn't deterred by rediculous comments and questions he receives about his faith. Comments and questions that to me seem unAmerican. The Americas were founded to excape religious persecution. Why is Romney persecuted for his religion?

I think Romney is exactly right. Americans don't choose their leaders based on what church they go to, they choose them based on their accomplishments, their character, and their political views.

I choose Romney.

"I don't know that there's any conflict at all between the values of great faiths," he said.

EXCUSE ME! Mr. Romney...Mormonism is NOT one of the "great faiths". It's a religion founded by a kook, has a crazy theology which IS NOT CHRISTIAN, and is downright repugnant to most of us.

Just won't sell in Preoria!

Calling Romney a 'flip-flopper' gives flip-flopping a bad name. The guy is unqualified and is calculatingly sinister. He told gay groups they should not settle for only civic unions. He was pro choice and pro stem cell research--then he had a revelation--he wanted to run for presidient as a Republican-POOF--all previous positions were changed--to accomodatate the necessities of hhis primary run--also he was a TERRIBLE GOVERNOR !!!! They should take the hat he 'threw in the ring'--stomp on it and burn it !!!!

Romney has flip-flopped on every major issue in his campaign. He's all ambition and no principle.

Ok sorry but the dog on top of the car story moved this guy into the creep column. Obviously this is another Repug where we are receiving early warnings about a potential personality disorder that will not benefit our country. Why are all the wackos over in the Repug sect these days?

Mitt put on a good show it the olympics but this is not a game.
He ran for MA Senate & loss big to Ted Kennedy. Then he ran for Governor... and won... and then QUIT.
We don't need a quitter in the White House...

Mitt, throw a party & enjoy yourself but stay out of politics. We'll all benefit from that.

Everyone acts like the Presidency has less to do with who the actual majority want and more to do with how much it costs to buy it. I just cannot see any GOP candidate winning, because no matter how much the GOP likes their candidate, they are a minority and most of Americans have had enough of the GOP and Bush/Cheney moments. Who wants to risk it?

On the other hand, we may elect a Republican by default if the majority of Americans feel that this is not yet the time and America is not yet ready for a minority candidate. Be they of another race or a woman. That is about the only "loophole" in which any Republican has a chance. Other than that, to elect one is to ask for more or a version of what we have now. MOst of us think this is a nightmare. And I am an Independent who probably will vote Democratic--not because I like or agree with them--but I simply do not want to vote in any way for a party that can carry on like the Republicans have for years.

Nothing can save the GOP.

This "pardon that isn't a pardon" will do nothing the help the destruction and un-electablitiy of Republiconvicts!

I, for one, will not ever in my lifetime even consider voting for a Repugblicon again.

Romney included!
