But Mr. Romney, with his willingness to so completely change positions on morally grounded issues, has set new lows for political duplicity. If Republicans want a candidate who will do or say anything to get elected, Mr. Romney's their guy.

Sounds pretty accurate to me.

I can’t take Giulianni, his stance on a lot of issues that are important to me is way too close to the Hildabeast. Romney I’m not as enthusiastic about, the more I hear about him.

“They certainly will get a candidate so timid and politically careful that he will not even say whether he considers waterboarding to be a form of torture.”

That was actually one of the few decisive thing he has done, that isn’t something for open discussion.

More egregious was a recent Mitt statement that we’d all be insured in four years. What would we need Hillary for then?

Ping to a very accurate article.

He’s smarter than the rest.

Why are all the attacks on Romney? Guilliani is being left to default his way to the nomination. It is he who is the leader.

He's saying he doesn't want to tell the enemy what tactics he will approve as President. I think that's a good answer. With McCain as President, terrorists know they won't face waterboarding or torture of any kind.

I'm sure that has 'em quaking in their bomb vests.

““At this stage, it’s not the time,” said Mr. Romney at the recent debate when asked if gays serving their country should be allowed to be forthright about their sexual orientation. If elected president he “looks forward to hearing from the military exactly what they feel is the right way.””

At this stage? Hearing from the military?

Clintonesque weasel words. This man knows NOTHING about the military and should NOT be CIC!

Giuliani and Romney are both dishonest, flip-flopping RINOs.

Fred Thompson is the only real conservative in the race. Mike Huckabee is at least a social conservative that comes off as honest.

Giuliani is a liberal and crook with no character. He is unacceptable as a Republican nominee and that is why is dropping like a rock in the early primary states.

If you want to end up with Mike Huckabee as the nominee -- and you know you don't -- I'd get behind Fred Thompson if I were you.

Romney has the most sleazy operation I have ever seen.

He is Nixon on steroids.

I think DH is the conservative of record, with a real record on right-to-life (judges for protection for EVERY child) and on immigration.

And Thompson’s military experience is what?

Only McCain does not fall into the category of “knows NOTHING about the military and should NOT be CIC!” and I suspect you do not favor McCain.

Romney brings uber competence to the table and a resume of accomplishments in business and leadership that the others simply do not. This trumps the degree to which he is not the most conservative of the field. He, like GW Bush, who was not the most conservative of his field in 1999, is conservative enough and more competent than the rest.

Correcting myself, Hunter also has military service in his bio — though no money and likely will not last past New Hampshire.

Nope. Not at all.

Yeah, I bet when he comes to campaign in the south, he’ll be waiving the confederate battle flag all over the place while playing a banjo too.

I didn't care for the way he answered the flag question at all, have some guts man, the Klan probably eats at McDonald's too, but it doesn't make McDonald's a racist symbol. Just because some people up north decided its a racist flag, does not make it so. I may share his faith, but I sure don't understand or admire his politics.

Go Hunter or Go Fred!
Go anybody that isn't going to turn us into a socialist state!

As I have said, we have Fred Thompson who exudes conserativism in a natural form because it is part of him, it is inside his spirit.

Then we have the others, which Mitt is the most obvious example, who put on Conservatism like a costume for a play.

The difference is starting to really show.
