“Harry Reid, because he is pro-choice.”

Meant to say Reid is pro-life

Tim has become pretty jaded over the years - - I think at this point he probably has nearly equal disdain for Republicans AND Democrats. I suspect Tim will tear the Huckster a new one. Keep in mind, however, that the Huckster is (usually) a pretty smooth talker. The show should end up with more than one YouTube moment.

Romney is the ultimate chameleon. He changes with the weather, with the conservativeness or liberalness of the people to which he is speaking at the moment. If he were elected President he’d have an impossible time convincing any two people of anything, conservative or liberal. He doesn’t even know what he is or what he believes. He’s so busy fighting off the real questions and dodging with non-answers. He just wants to be President, even though he hasn't a clue what that even entails. Typical power play. He's no better than Clinton, Obama or Edwards.

Romney is conservative where it matters most to me...not attacking my wallet. That issue affects where we live, what house we can buy, what schools the kids can go, what vacations we can take, and literally what food we can eat. Guns, abortions, etc have little effect on our every day life.

Are you hoping to get your own personal Big Dig? That would have a nice affect on your "everyday life" making it easier to ignore the millions who are greatly affected by little things like "abortions, etc."

“You mean unless abortion is not your top issue you are not a conservative? How about fiscal conservative? How about anti-illegal immigration conservative? How about strong on defense conservative? How about strong on punishing criminals conservative?”

How much do any of these thing matter if you are not around to enjoy them? How much do any of these thing matter if you are imprisoned?

Anti-abortion is for the sake of life, including yours.

Pro-second amendment is also pro-life including yours.

Is it really OK with you that others do not spend your money, but are able to imprison or kill you? What benefit does that have if you can not enjoy your hard earned dollars?

You would not have to ask those things if you knew me and my history. I am very anti-illegal immigrants. They are going to ruin this country if the problem is not fixed. You were the one who brought up aborttion and gun rights and I was telling you that if those things along with all other conservative beliefs were not important to you, then you have a problem. I have had 2 brothers who were in the military, my daughter was in the Army and I have discovered that ancestors have fought in every war since the Revolutionay War. One of my brothers suffered terribly due to radiation poison during bomb testing in the 1950's. But, you know what? He said if he were younger and in better health, he would have been fighting in the WOT. He knew what this country stands for and that is freedom.

If you knew the kinds of books I read, you would also know that I think criminals need to be severely punished and that the bleeding heart liberals think more of them than the victim. As Ben Raines says, the hanky-stomping, take a punk to lunch crowd is taking this country down the drain. If you do not know who he is, learn! It would do you some good!

I live in a very pro-military city since a base is here. We support our troops 110%. We know what they do for this country and the cost to their families for their courage and bravery. I have a friend over in Iraq right now. So, don't give me your nonsense!!!!

Did I say that other issues were not important? l was replying to his remark that those 2 were not important to him. I am about as conservative as anyone can get and I think this country is in a very bad condition right now. It seems that people do not care to learn about candidates and what they believe in. I was very pro-Rudy until I started reading about what he stood for. Boy, that woke me up! Mitt is about as bad. We do not need any kind of liberal in the WH.

"Isn’t this like the 3rd lie Huckabee has told regarding who is advising him?"

It's like the apologist said about the Huckster's lies about his theology degree, "He was wrong to lie, but he just thought he could get away with it."

HUCKABEE.

Resume stuffer.

Fibber.

Amateur in foreign policy.

No amount of midnight cramming can help him NOW.

This is something that takes many years of experience and surrounded by the best minds.

He should have seen this coming years ago when he started to gin up in his mind that he wanted to reach the Oval Office. He could have hired on good people, retained a superb foreign policy advisory group, and made a series of extensive overseas trips meeting with world leaders.

Talk about poor planning and substandard campaign advance work.

Yeah, his mandatory universal health care program that he instituted in Mass, is really the hallmark of a fiscal conservative.

You might want to go to the “Club for Growth” website and check out Romney’s actual record on taxes before making your decision. I’ve pasted the link below.

Romney is the guy that opposed the Bush tax cuts and praised congressman Barney Frank for trying to block them. But don’t worry, just like on guns, abortion and all those other issues you don’t care about, I’m sure he’s done a 180 on taxes as well and can be trusted with your wallet.

Yeah, who cares about 50 million brutally murdered Americans who were denied the God given right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The only thing that really matters is what I pay for a loaf of bread and a gallon of gas.

sincerely,

a selfish cowardly bastard

Glad to hear that because if Mitt is elected and he passes RomneyCare with a Democrat congress, which will attack your wallet, you can call him what he is, Liberal and still sleep at night.

What I said was that Tax cuts have a higher priority in my everyday life.

As Gov. Mitt says he didn't raise taxes, Mitt does not say he did not raise fees, which he did. Mitt says as POTUS he will cut taxes, don't believe him.

You mean unless abortion is not your top issue you are not a conservative?

Mitt is pro abortion, seated Planned Parenthood on his Romney Car Connector board.

How about anti-illegal immigration conservative?

Mitt hired a company who had illegals, Mitt supported sanctuary cities

How about strong on defense conservative?

Mitt has ZERO international, or defense experience. Unless you want to credit him with his phony troopers

How about strong on punishing criminals conservative?

Mitt has a record of appointing liberal judges, one of which allowed a convicted killer to kill again X 2.

Besides I am prolife and pro-gun ownerships

Mitt is anti Second Amendment, signing the Mass AWB renewal, and being evasive when it comes to what he would do as POTUS. Mitt ignores the phase, "shall not be infringed"

Mitt is a pure Liberal.

Well said, and that amateurishness is really emerging.

Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

Why the smart money is on Duncan Hunter

In this poll Hunter is up 3% and even with Paul and Thompson.

They are all important issues, but my order of priority is different from you, perhaps. I never said you were weak on military. Dunno why you had to go into a long drawn out explanation.
I am sure you are as much pro-military as I am.

I am very happy I was carried by my mom to full term. I am even more happy I was a wanted child. I have seen kids who were mis-treated by their parents and I would rather be not here than go through hell like that. I wish those parents would put up the unwanted child for adoption.

By the way I am pro-life except in case of rape and incest so long as the abortion is performed as soon as possible, and especially if the mother is a minor.

Join us please in going alternative Conservative in the general election, if Romney is the GOP standard bearer.

No amount of rationalizing between now and then can cover up is lib/RINO record, no matter how much we fear the Democratic alternative.

Let us make, build up and support our OWN 'alternatives' in 2008!!
