The only way to stop what is unfolding is a journalist must present Huckabee with a document to sign on which it swears he will not accept a VP slot.
No, actually it's this!
Sorry, but you’re the one who apparently can’t read. Let me help you with that:
March, 2004, NYTimes:
“The Massachusetts legislature on Monday approved a state constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage and create same-sex civil unions instead....But immediately after the lawmakers’ decision, Gov. Mitt Romney, a first-term Republican WHO OPPOSES BOTH GAY MARRIAGE AND SAME-SEX CIVIL UNIONS, said he would ask the state’s highest court to issue a stay of its rulings, last November and again in February, requiring the state to grant marriage licenses to gays. The stay would bar same-sex couples from marrying until after the proposed constitutional amendment could go before the voters.”
October 2002 campaign debate, Romney quote: “Call me old fashioned, but I don’t support gay marriage nor do I support civil union.”
Dec. 17, 2003: After the SJC decision legalizing same-sex marriage, he told WCVB that if he had to choose, he would favor civil unions over full-fledged gay marriage. However, he added: “But that is not my preference overall. My preference overall would be NEITHER CIVIL UNION OR MARRIAGE.”

Hope that helped your reading comprehension.
No one on this thread has tried to explain the above statistic nor has anyone really looked for McCain's strengths. Name calling and overt hostility usually does not win elections since the overwhelming majority find these attributes disgusting.
I am not a McCainiac but he has won and is winning in a Republican primary. It would be far better to determine what it is people are voting for rather than simply calling him names, etc.
Mr. Amnesty has done plenty in the Senate, and most of it was as an obstructionist to conservatism!
We're all planning to watch this interesting movie
It's the "Watch CW get his panties in a twist 'cause things aren't going his way" Thursday meeting.
“Remember, your choices are Mitt (NRA “B”), McCain (NRA “C+”), Obama (NRA “F”) and Hillary (NRA “F”).”
Gee, You FORGOT Huck and Paul BOTH A+ !
Did you even listen to his explanation last night during the debate? You can probably watch the debate on the CNN website. Romney did a very good job of describing (to my satisfaction, at least) the health care "plan" in Mass. Perhaps you won't like his explanation, but at least you will be informed on the facts that you appear to be missing at the moment.
If we don’t derail the McCain Express now, we will have to wait four more years and then challenge Hillary for reelection. Feels a lot like 1976.
Go Mitt!
Who all is behind promoting this loser on us besides the media? Maybe Soros, the Amnesty lobby, Mexico, the terrorists (since he voted against barring them from US), the Democrats who want Hillary or Obama to win.
Not unless you are calling him a liar. Although I would call him "flexibly opportunistic," I haven't seen indication of that.
Do you really think Romney will do anything more than cosmetic with regard to illegal immigration?
He has said he opposes illegal immigration. Whether he means that he'll turn illegals into legals isn't clear. At least he vetoed drivers' licenses for them. Whether that transacts to results depends a great deal upon how he handles Congress, although he could start using DHS to accomplish a lot. Frankly, I haven't heard much specifically on that front.
He’s a business man. What has been the policy of big business with regard to illegal immigration?
His money was not made in businesses requiring massive injections of touch labor, so beyond H1b visas (which aren't illegal) I don't know what his personal bias might be there.

No, it’s the reality ping list.
When conservatives are willing to spit on conservative principles being sold by an articulate and forceful spokesperson, simply because of that person’s past, we are in real trouble.
Sure, given two people giving their heart and soul and money to sell conservatism to the country are available, and one of them has been there longer, go with the guy with the longer record.
But Romney IS the guy with the longer record, because nobody else is standing up for conservative values now. It’s Romney or McCain. One has a list of 26 solid consrvative positions. The other is running on a platform that is riddled with anti-conservative positions.
And you’d reject the solid conservative platform because you fear the messenger? And you’d denigrate those who simply don’t have the same mistrust that you do?
I believe it would help of they were replaced by the end of the year, but I doubt the Senate would approve of even one nominee from here on out.
Conservatives have until next Tuesday—or the McCain nomination will be a done-deal.
It’s the “I can’t vote for a pandering, flip-flopping, lie to get elected, even if the bought-and-paid radio host endorsement, never vote for a RINO,” club.
Only if you don't believe him. His platform is a solid conservative platform. He has done nothing in the past year to suggest wavering on that platform, and he's taken slings and arrows for standing up for our conservative principles.
Thank you, Mark.
