Amen to your post.

After seeing Bush holding hands with a Saudi ruler (what is up with that?), one would think that we could take a serious look at our foreign policy.

But, foreign policy for most conservatives is considered the 'third rail' of politics, it must never change.

I do not know why so many conservatives are upset with the remaining candidates, after Fred drops out, after all, they all (except for RP) are for continuing the same interventionist foreign policy, which to them is the dominant issue.

So, they will get either McCain, Rudy, or Mitt (Huckabee will not last).

I think it will come down to Mitt and McCain (unless Rudy pulls off a big win in Florida).

If Rudy and Thompson drop out, Republicans will pick Mitt over McCain, who has had the support of independents in the other primaries.

I think McCain is going to find the closed primaries alot tougher.

Please encourage Ron Paul to run as a third party alternative in the general election. As there are far more Dem whack jobs who would vote for him than there are Republican whack jobs, this will only help the eventual Republican nominee.

“How does having half a million troops garrisoned overseas protect us at home?”

If you were coaching a football team, would you forbid your team from crossing the fifty yard line to avoid making the other team ‘mad’?

But Romney claimed he supported the Bush tax cuts. Yet another lie from Willard.

Mojave, LOL, check the author of that piece. Glen Johnson .... does that ring a bell?
You trust the words of Barney Frank?
Doncha get it? The liberal media has spent the last 6 years trying to make Romney un-electable. WHY?!? Because they know he’s that conservative, and that good.

Actually, Romney chose not to weigh in on the 2003 tax cuts at all. His ‘non-endorsement’ was not opposition, it was stepping aside. The Dems wanted to make the impression it was opposition, the snippet below is why. Romney is running on Reaganism, and the Dems know that it is powerful, works, and is popular.


A questioner at a town hall meeting Friday night in Rochester asked Romney about his apparent change of heart. The man refused to give his name, and Romney aides surrounded him afterward and accused him of being a Massachusetts Democrat who had challenged Romney about his tax record at another event.

Romney said that his first public comments were in support of the tax cuts, and that he campaigned on behalf of Bush in 2004.

Turning back to 2003, Romney told the man: “You see, I wasn’t a U.S. senator. I didn’t have to vote on this, didn’t get a choice to. I was running my state, so I didn’t have a comment on their position. And I said, `I’m not weighing in on federal issues.’ But Senator McCain was a senator. He had to vote. He had to decide, `Am I in favor of pursuing these tax cuts or not?’ and he voted against the tax cuts — twice. That’s a very different position.”


PICK ROMNEY OVER MCCAIN - BETTER A CONVERT THAN A TRAITOR

Romney didn’t vote against the Bush tax cuts like McCain did.

I am a full 100% conservative, and I now support Mitt Romney. There are a lot of us out there ... Judge Robert Bork, Sen Jim DeMint, Ann Coulter, etc.

The race is now down to Romney and McCain as the viable candidates ... and

Some people whine because Romney has moved right in his positions. Bizarre - dont we want people moving right? ... Well, John McCain has moved left over the years and wants to be rewarded for it. Blech.

You lie about Romney’s positions and record, then accuse him of dishonesty (when it’s not true). Oh, the irony!

We know who you are against with your tired retread Mitt-hits, but who are you FOR?

Barney Frank supported Romney’s refusal to endorse the tax cuts then.

“’I was very pleased,’ Frank said afterward. ‘Here you have a freshman governor refusing to endorse a tax cut presented by a Republican president at the height of his wartime popularity.’” (Wayne Washington and Glen Johnson, “Romney Weighs In - Carefully - On Bush Tax Cut Plan; Governor Won’t Give His Endorsement,” Boston Globe, 4/11/03)
