Comments on: Brownback joins McCain-Romney spat http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/06/14/brownback-joins-mccain-romney-spat/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Jim, Columbia South Carolina http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/06/14/brownback-joins-mccain-romney-spat/#comment-10799 Jim, Columbia South Carolina Mon, 25 Jun 2007 04:08:05 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/06/14/brownback-joins-mccain-romney-spat/#comment-10799 Looks like lots of Romney supporters are trolling the web to say the same thing. Sam Brownback is a multi issue candidate, has the best quailties and experienced too. He is the only Republican with a (viable) political plan for Iraq, a plan to cut federal agencies and programs, and promote the family and marriage. He has administrative experience but in this time of war its his foreign policy experience, with recent meetings in Iraq with the leaders of the factions and our generals, that put him out front. The fact that his philosophy starts with the idea that every human life is sacred and you have a "home run" of a candidate waiting for less extreme (or extrememly driven) GOP voters not posting to this story to discover him or jump on his bandwagon. It's coming. Watch the Ames Iowa straw poll. Looks like lots of Romney supporters are trolling the web to say the same thing.

That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. I think lots of murderers are courageous. See how reasoanble that sounds. as if calling people who commit abortion murderers is really goint to help your cause out.

This is not a strong pro-life position; it is a federalist position taken to appease his targeted voting demographic. Actually, it's not all that different from Giuliani's position, except that Giuliani ahs the courage and conviction to state that he remains pro-choice.

That being said, I apologize to everyone that my state has inflicted Brownback upon you. I have considered him a numbskull for a long time, but I am surprised that he has chosen to make it so obvious. I've already donated to Romney, and I will do so again. When the numbskulls gang up and attack him, I can't help but like him even more. I am a Kansan. That being said, I apologize to everyone that my state has inflicted Brownback upon you.

This probably wont make it onto the discussion board, but it's true. When over 70% of the country thinks that we should leave Iraq, how on earth do these nine think they can run on a pro war platform? It just doesnt make sense. Ron paul is the only candidate with an actual chance. Simply put, vote Ron Paul in '08. nine out of the ten republican candidates, simply put, suck.

I would anybody who is able to provide healthcare to every citizen in his state WITHOUT INCREASING INCOME TAXES and WITHOUT INCREASING GOVERNMENT BURAECRACY very competent.

I would also say someone who can take a 3 billion dollar deficit in a democratic controlled state and balance that budget, again without raising taxes, very impressive an competent.
