CNN

okay.. so he supports civil unions in MA as governor, supported abortion rights, and now that he is running for president. how many times can you flip the switch to win the conservative vote? And let's talk about Clinton's vote on the war in Iraq... how dare his campaign attack her for that.

Hillary set the cause of womenhood back 500 years when she sulked for 3 days and then Bill's affair was OK. Hey, the President of US can do it and walk away with a wrist slap, what's the harm? Right?

Wrong! And this family should not be in the White House, they are not role models. And yes, the integrity of the office and who holds it matters. It has influence on others.

Shame on Hillary.

Let's make this perfectly clear, Hillary is running for President not Bill. Sounds like Romney's confusion between Obama and Osama.

the stupid thing about this is NO america is not looking at the president like a ROLE MODEL they look at the president to take care of the countries needs. this is ridiculous that the president has to have a perfect life to be president. im really starting to not like this mitt romney. i believe he is an example of whats bad in this country. this pretending to be perfect attitude that just isnt real and if most of the country has GRISWALD families why would we need a president that acts as though its morally wrong to have problems?!!?

Anti Mormons are sure at it again. They talk about things they know nothing about or simply just lie. Mormons have had to put up with this all their lives.
If these anti Mormons want the truth about the Mormon religion put your questions to Salt Lake City or ask either a local Mormon or a local Mormon Missionary. They will be happy to answer your questions.
If Mormons commit adultry
they are excommunicated from the Church. If they held the Priesthood they will never ever be allowed to practice the Priesthood again. The only People practicing poligomy are excommunicated Mormons and people that call themselves fundamental Mormons. These people have nothing to do with the Church in Salt Lake City.
Poligomy was praticed in the early days because there were about 4 times as many women Mormons as men Mormons and It was practiced at the request of Jesus Christ not Joseph Smith and when the federal government put an end to it the Mormons outlawed it and followed the law over 100 years ago.
All Mormons know for a fact that the Church is owned lock stock and barrel
by Jesus Christ and that he directs the Church even today.
There is nothing strange about Jesus Christ running the Mormon Church Today or even back in the 1830s. Read Acts
3 verses 19, 20 and 21. God is promising in the days of the refreshing that he will send Jesus Christ again to preach onto men. A prophet by the name of Enoch was called in the days of Adam to round up all the Good people before the flood and these people were translated and taken to heaven. Is there anything wrong with God doing the same thing again before he sends Jesus Christ to destroy the earth. In Isaiah 28 Verse
12 he says in the days of the Restoration few people will listen which is cerainly what has been happening for past 190 years or so. Acts 3 is not the only place in the Bible that describe an Era of Restoration before the great and dreadful day of the Coming or Jesus Christ in vengence.

Romney will never become the president and that is all there is to it. End of story.

Hate to agree with Romney but he has a point here that's why we need Obama for President!!!!

The quote from Mr. Romney about "acting the part" is, I find, very troublesome. Having done a fair bit of theatrical work, I certainly can "act the part"; however, that doesn't mean that I live the part. There is some quite flawed logic here when one says he'll act as though he has "family values." The logical conclusion is that, in reality, he has none.

"Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign did not return a request for comment on Romney's remarks."

Perhaps you missed this at the end of the story. Try reading through the WHOLE story:

Responding to Romney's comments, top Clinton adviser Howard Wolfson said, "Hillary Clinton needs no lessons on character from a man who switches his positions on a daily basis."

What can you say, but "Ouch"?

The bigots who oppose gay marriage on the grounds that they are protecting "the sanctity of marriage" should wake up and look at themselves and the world around them. Do you know or have you known of heterosexuals who cheat on their spouses, who have a line of divorces to their credit, who have several families as a result of multiple marriages, who annul a previous marriage and bastardize the children from it in order to have a church wedding with their latest fling? Let's face it: Homosexual couples can't make the institution of marriage a bigger joke than some heterosexual couples have already made of it.

Can you say "Mountain Meadows Massacre?" Do the church leaders of the LDS still believe in killing "outsiders" over the age of 8, or is that just reserved for their "prophets?"

Nausiating self-righteous Mormon idiot.

Soory, but comparing interracial marriage, voting, women's or black rights to gay marriage is very hollow. Its demishing your argument if anything..

We don't look to the White House for values (otherwise during the Clinton years we would of fallen apart...and that didn't happen) – I am a Republican who is a moderate – I think very much like moderates in both parties – fiscally conservative..and socially liberal....we outnumber the right wing.....and we outnumber the left wing.....I am voting for the ONLY moderate running in either party – Guiliani – and no...I will not take marriage advice from him...nor child rearing...thats my personal responsibility – moderates in both parties unite!!

I would like to thank Wayne of Greenville TX for actually looking up some facts to include in his informative posts. I have read several of them and each of you reading this should search (ctrl-f) for "Wayne" so you can read his post above.

All of the smartest comments on this blog come from Texans, natually. (Unfortunately, so do the stupidest ones.)

Romney wants to provide America's children with a role model of ethical behavior. That is a noble ambition. However, America's children need (1) health care, (2) good nutrition, (3) good education in quality public schools, (4) protection from abuse, (5) safe cities to run and play in, (6) protection from corporations that would sell them junk food, sick video games, and overpriced clothing, (7) good prenatal care when they are still in the womb, (8) affordable college education, and (9) good paying secure jobs for their parent(s).

Promising to set a good example for children is about as useful as offering to pray for them. I was waiting for a light to change so I could cross the street a few years ago. A bum was panhandling at the same intersection and was near enough so I could hear him speaking to the drivers waiting at the same red light. A woman rolled down her window and sweetly said, "God bless you." to the bum. He said, "'God bless you!' Do you think I can eat 'God bless you'? Do you think its gonna make my life any better because you say 'God bless you' Lady? ..." The woman responded by rolling up her window and speeding through the red light to get away from this irate homeless guy.

Only well-fed, educated, thoughtful children who can read will appreciate the ethical lessons of presidential behavior.

"Family? What family?? Gay marriage is not nor ever will be allowed in Georgia. And no, we do not want your ethical standards taught to our children. Period. Its not a civil rights issue, its a moral issue.."

Right, just like 40 years ago it would have been

"Family? What family?? *Interracial marriage* is not nor ever will be allowed in Georgia. And no, we do not want your ethical standards taught to our children. Period. Its not a civil rights issue, its a moral issue.."

Please give your bigoted views a rest. Gay people can have a family just like everyone else. If you care so much about the Bible's teachings, you would also shun people who divorce then remarry, or people who cheat on their spouses, etc. If those people can have families, so can gay people.

Dear GA Voter-

I respect your point of view, but disagree. You have the right to your opinion – but not to prevent people like me from enjoying freedom and liverty and respect in our country.

On the day GA legalizes Gay marriage, may your heart be filled with compassion.

This guy should just seriously go to his "cult" and work on campaigning to be their leader... he cannot and will not represent all Americans if given a chance to be a leader at a higher level....stay with the people who are like you Mitt and you will be okay...but please stay away from the rest of us...

Giuliani Feels The Heat In California

Rudy Giuliani’s support has dropped sharply in the California Field Poll released Thursday. The former New York City mayor claimed 25 percent of the GOP voters, a whopping 10 percent drop from the same poll in August. In a virtual tie for second, Mitt Romney got 13 percent while Fred Thompson and John McCain both got 12 percent. Fourteen percent of the vote was spread among Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter.

We have seen it in Michigan, South Carolina and Florida, and now in California. As more voters compare the Republican field, at first there is an increase in those undecided. Then we see a slow and steady increase in support for Mitt Romney. Since August the percentage of California’s undecided Republican voters has risen from 15 percent to 22 percent.

It seems that the more conservative arm of the GOP is the engine behind this trend.
Among California’s moderate conservatives, Giuliani holds a 16-percentage point lead over Thompson. But among staunch conservatives, Giuliani’s lead over Romney is only 4 percentage points! Yes, things are getting hot in California, and not just from the wild fires.

Here we go again...let the right wing holier than thou start their judging this is the same old story every presidential election...the Clintons like every other family have had their issues and problems & even though MR ROMNEY does not want to admit it I feel certain his life is not perfect like he portrays...we dems are not perfect & we know there is no one perfect but the republicans like to make everyone think they are...a bunch of hypocrites

I would normally not comment on anything! As I prefer to be an uninvolved witness to the happenings of the world. However when Hypocrisy poses as family values that on the one hand smacks of self aragrandisment and on the other goes against the basic nature of being human, then I must say that unless you define what family values are and how realistic your ideals conform to the human condition, then my dear you have no right to suggest how one One (should) live ones life.

all of you non-mormons have alot to learn. When romney is president we're going to teach you how to really live.

thanks- looking forward to it

Hey GOPers. 'Do as I say, not as I do' are not family values.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned that Hillary did nothing wrong. Romney is indirectly blaming Ms. Clinton for her husband's sin. He is making the victim the culprit. What he is doing is the same as blaming a woman for being raped.

Obviously rightytighty didn't read the article before he posted his inane comments. Typical of the hate radio sect. I suppose Rush gave him a synopsis on his radio propoganda broadcast!!
Mitt makes flipper look like a couch potato.

I'm a pretty partisan Republican, but I do like to see some degree of integrity in an election. It's clear that Mitt Romney is panicking over the primary polls after this blow below the belt. It's irresponsible to imply that Hillary Clinton was in any way responsible for her husband's disgusting behaviour.

If Romney is going to go after Hillary Clinton, there's endless places to start.. but her husband's infidelity is not one of them.

I find it disgusting when people hide hatred and bigotry by trying to rename it as family "values." Such a horrible attack on a noble phrase.

I also think it's the ultimate in hypocrisy to attack a woman who has stood by her husband as not supporting "family values." In front of the whole nation, the Clinton family had a crisis and in the end Hillary stood by her husband, the man she loved and pledged to stay with for the rest of her life. I think she set an excellent example. Family values is about sticking together and weathering the hard times to come out stronger and love each other all the more, whether you are a single parent with a child or children or no matter whether your spouse is your gender or opposite gender, and no matter the race of your spouse.

Family values is about families of all types, about sticking together and loving and supporting each other! Hillary Clinton supports REAL family values, not the meaning hijacked by bigots, and for that I'd support her. I don't know which candidate I want as President, but it's certainly not this guy.

He's got some friggin nerve. What ever happened to "Glass Houses." Besides this guy changes his opinions every other day. Where is the honesty and integrity in that. And he want to lecture others? Give me a break! I bet he "can't wait to get his hands" on the ethics code of the Whithouse! This guy is trying to buy the election with his own not so hard earned cash that he made off the backs of others. Oh, but he looks Presidential! And he always talks about he's the only one that has run a business. Well, excuse me but HRC was a partner in a law firm and partners help run a business. What a liar he is.

Bill Clinton and Monica

Vs.

Mitt Romeny marrying off his 14 year old daughter to a mystery Mormon in Utah.

Where do these people come from? It there some immoral requirement for being president that the rest of us do not know about?

The other CNN blog stated that Mitt Romney married off a 14 year old daughter to a fellow Mormon in Utah.

14 years old? Married off? Sounds like Mitt sent her to Warren Jeffs...

This idiot thinks he's running against "Bill" Clinton. And he wants to be president?

the previous comment was uncalled for.

Ask Romney if he'd vote for H. Clinton or Giuliani, who's about as bad of a womanizer as Clinton in the general election. I wonder how he'd answer.

These guys would be terrified to have me as a press reporter asking questions.

Once again, a candidate spending more time bashing Hillary (who did an honorable, Christian, and very difficult thing in holding her marriage together,) than talking about his own agenda. People are starting to see through the charades-if Hillary is so bad for the country, why are they all so terrified of her? Go Hill!

Its important to realize that in order to be good Mormon you need to practice polygamy.

Mitt I thought you was a nice guy. Man what a cheap shot you take! I can't think of anything worse the White House could be used for, Lying to the people and taking us to the worst war in history, bankrupting our grandchildren, kicking the gate open for the family illegals. Mitt you are putting yourself alongside the rest of those bums in your party. I can't think of anything good about any of you now. Pack it in buster.

Saying that Hillary is Bill's wife says it all when it comes to family values.

Republicans idea of family values!

Cost of Iraq and Afghanistan Wars through 2017 deemed OK to pass on to future generations of Americans

$2,400,000,000,000 Total for 14 years
$40,900.28 per Iraqi/Afghani

Cost of Insuring more American kids on SCHIP which is deemed too much:

$30,000,000,000 total for 5 years
$3,000 per American child

Solution = Send American kids to Iraq and Afghanistan!

Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign did not return a request for comment on Romney's remarks.

What's to say but OUCH!!

Posted By RightyTighty : October 25, 2007 4:00 pm

Responding to Romney's comments, top Clinton adviser Howard Wolfson said, "Hillary Clinton needs no lessons on character from a man who switches his positions on a daily basis."

Read the article!

I think it will be very crowded in White House when Romneys move in. Five sons, five or more daughters-in-law , grandchildren … America, can we afford all of them???

What an idiot. He thinks family values means adultery. Family values means lets not blow our kids up. Get a clue Romney, you're a fool.

BJ doesn't stand for "By Jesus".

Hmmm I thought Sen Hillary Clinton was running for President.

Not her husband, the one who brought shame into the White House.

I don't it is fair to blame her for what her husband did. No matter what you think about Hillary, we all know she would have NEVER allowed that type of behavior in the white house. Other places outside the white house..well we will never really know.

Mitt totally rocks, you are all just jealous. . .

ya know, people ARE able to CHANGE their minds. It's flip-flopping if you do it every day, like Kerry (or Clinton).

Mitt is cleary the best choice for 2008. Strong family, and he won't cheat on his (one! you bigots, one!) gorgeous wife Ann!

I am a Morman. I have one wife. If a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints takes a 2nd wife he is kicked out of the church. As far as I know, Mitt Romney is a member in good standing of the LDS Church. Religion should not be a consideration when voting for the president. Values, honor and integrety should be a consideration when voting for a president. Mitt has the highest standards and values of any of the canidates currently running. Lets vote for the best canidate and leave religion out of it.

Another reason to vote for Obama!

The religious right, Christian or Muslim, never give up the fight to dictate how you live even if they have to kill you.
God save me from organized religion!!

Find out the TRUTH about ROMNEY and what he did in MASSACHUSETTS !!!

http://www.MassResistance.org

We need a president that will DEFEND the US Constitution! Vote Pete Grasso in 2008 !

http://www.GrassoForPresident.com

I want tax payers money used for stem cell research. It is just a stem cell! We want cures for diseases and animal research does not work. People are dying all the time because these religious, family loving hypocrites in Washington don't think that it is moral. It's what the people want and they seem to keep forgetting that.

If the report I read was correct, the parents of Romney's wife, Anne, were not allowed to attend the wedding because they were not Mormons. What kind of president would he make for those of us that do not believe as he does? I say Hillary stood by her marriage vows!!

Romney is so right.

CNN, please don't post comments with obscenities in them. Get with the program.

"I WONDER HOW MANY WIVES ROMNEY IS HIDING. THESE MORMONS…ANNE IS THE FIRST WIFE SO SHE IS THE ONE THE PUBLIC GETS TO SEE AND THE ONE HE ACKNOWLEDGES. I BET YOU THERE ARE 10 OR MORE OTHER WIVES HIDING AROUND…."

That was the most ignorant, small minded, bigoted thing I've ever heard. It's obvios that you know nothing about Mormons. Why don't you go after him for the right reasons. For example, he's a pandering slimball with no principles. He's made it very easy.

Top Clinton adviser Howard Wolfson's comments are childish.

"Hillary Clinton needs no lessons on character from a man who switches his positions on a daily basis."

Does America really deserve a political climate such as the one we have now? It's really sad.

Here's Hilary Clinton's views on change. It's probably the best political commentary I've ever seen on you tube. Cannot recommend enough.

Here's the link; http://youtube.com/watch?v=5c0eLVYbnI4

To Wayne, Greenville, Texas

You deserve the Medal of Freedom, your excellent research and presentation, we hope, will free us from this hypocritical and FLIP FLOPPER, no need to mention the name.

Mr. Romney,

Do you mean “family values” like hate-mongering and mud-slinging? Your personal attacks on Mrs. Clinton and her family show the true nature of your withering soul.

The last time I checked, Mrs. Clinton was a successful mother, wife and career woman who is one of the most respected women in America.

A “higher ethical standard”?…You don’t seem to know anything about the subject.

Mitt: When Giuliani gets the nod for the Repubs, we know we can count on you–consistent politician that you are–to support Sen. Clinton, who has worked hard to make her marriage work, over Rudy, the thrice-married libertine with a thrice-married wife with whom he was having an open affair while still married to wife number two.

Oh I see. You pull any comments at CNN that aren't pro Clinton.

At least the Clinton's didn't wear magic pajamas.

Too bad he's mormom. LOL amirite?

So Mitt changes his position every day, and HRC changes hers every quarter. I don't see much difference between Hillary and the Republicans.

I think it is clear that in today's society, we should have a VERY GOOD example residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Clearly the privately disfunctional Clinton family is a failure; and the public side of the Clinton's is a disaster (vs.a sincere, functioning family unit).

If one looks at the increasing rate of single parent homes in the US, then it is clear the the President SHOULD BE a VERY GOOD example to the young people out there.... unlike Bill Clinton (whom every young rap hip hopper must admire for his frequent "relationships.")

I think also that Hillary is setting a poor example for young women in that she exudes the compromise of family/love for power and position.

By the way, who is Hillary having sex with? It can't be Bill? Don't we have a right to know whom the "President" is sleeping with?

Romney is such a hypcrit. He says Hillary doesn't have "family values" because she stayed with Bill when he cheated on her. If she had left Bill, Romney would be saying the had no "family values" because she did not fight to keep her marriage together. He'll say whatever he thinks hypocrits like him want to hear. He will NEVER be president so I don't even know why he's still talking.

It's interesting that, considering Mr. Romney believes a President's life would be under a microscope that he did not choose he words more carefully. According to Mr. Romney, he would do an excellent job "acting" the part of a morally upright leader. In all honesty, I don't care if my leaders are morally upright or not. However, I certainly do care if their putting on an act hoping that all of us will smile, nod, and buy the whole show.

Now isn't it interesting that the mittster can talk about a simple indiscretion at the White House but, he seems to approve of the presidency of Bushie. How about the official outing of a CIA agent (and by association 49 others in the nuclear non-proliferation section) – not serious? How about distorting the facts and bringing the country into Iraq desperately searching for WMD's, not serious? The list is much too long to describe here but, the fact remains Mitt wants to continue the policies of DICK and GEORGE! It's time to move the GOP out of the White House they are too corrupt, too greedy and absolutely too dangerous! VOTE DEMOCRAT in 2008!

Mitt, if you would only tilt your head a little for the camera, we would be able to not just hear about it, but would be able to see your halo.

Values and examples begin at home and set by parents. Granted it is important to have someone with high moral standards represent our nation. However, that's why we have free elections and the power to vote in this great nation of ours.

I also believe we can change a point of view or belief which is called personal growth and/or development.

Too bad for Romney that Clinton always crushes in him polls. Like today's general election poll from Florida.

This from a man who has a wide stance on the issues!

Hillary didn't cheat, Bill did. Hillary did the Christian thing and FORGAVE her husband.

Rommey is a mormon, they're not suppose to have more than one wife on earth but in heaven it's a differnt story. I would know I grew up Mormon and believe me you don't want a Mormon running are country.

I am so tired of politicians running on "family values." You know who is in charge of instilling "family values" into my family? ME, and my FAMILY... not some politician.

As a gay man, I also am tired of the phrase "family values" being a euphamism for "protecting marriage from the evil gay people." If you want to protect marriage, make it harder to get a divorce.

Now here are a few "family values" I would support:

1. Make sure the children in all families have access to health care.

2. Don't send my brothers and sisters off to die in a war with no purpose.

3. Make sure that there is economic stability so my family can eat.

4. Leave your religion out of my government so I can decide for myself how I will choose to have a relationship with God.

Now THERE are a few family values I could support!

Apparently he doesn't think tolerance is a family value.

Clinton spokesman's critisism is just a worthless jab.
Romney is not a flip flopper. He has changed yes, but he does not change back and forth.
In other words he was one way and is now another. You can debate on whether it is sincere, but the truth is, he doesn't change positions on a daily basis, but he has changed them once.

The spokesman's comment is equivalent to a meaningless jab that only shows bitterness in this case to the very obvious fact that as far as family goes, Romeny has Clinton beat.

Well, it's low, but I guess it was coming.

I am a Clinton supporter, but people, let's not get tacky and start mixing up Mitt Romney with the crazy fundamental Mormons who believe in polygamy.

Is having multiple wives a family value?

Congressman Mark Foley's abuse of teen-age Congressional pages. – example of GOP family values

Bob Livingston to replace Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the House until he resigned in disgrace when it was revealed that he admitted to had been involved in several adulterous affairs
- example of GOP family values

Dan Burton (R-Indiana): The Chairman of the House Government Reform & Oversight Committee. Following an expose, Burton was forced to admit that he fathered an out-of-wedlock child, a fact he denied for years.
- example of GOP family values

Strom Thurmond had sex with a 15-year old black girl, which produced a child
- example of GOP family values

Bob Barr (R-Georgia): the principal sponsor of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, has been married three (or is it now four) times. And at a party in 1992, Barr actually licked whipped cream off the breasts of two women, neither of them his current wife. Now that's family values!

As RightyTighty would say:
What's to say but OUCH!!

This doesn't mean the Dems aren't without fault, but I'm tired of the GOP "Family Values" arguement. It is clear that some in the GOP have no 'Family Values.'

What do you know about family values, Mr. Romney? I believe your religious views put "family values" in a realm that preaches intolerance. Am I correct, sir? Don't you dare chastise Mr. Bill Clinton and his wife when your religious sect is one of the more intolerable groups on the planet.

Where the heck is Mitt Romney's campaign manger?

Someone should tell Romney that Hillary Clinton is running for the presidency in 2008, not Bill Clinton.

Hillary was the wounded party and she exhibited tremendous character and family values when she didn't leave Bill after his infidelity. I wonder if Mitt Romney would exhibit the same character if his wife was caught messing around with one of the campaign staff? (Note to Tommy from Dedham MA, this is hypothetical and designed to stimulate thinking!)

Don't get me wrong, I still despise Bill Clinton. The only reason he looks so good now is because the current White House occupant is so pathetic.

Mitt Romney would be well-advised to go after Freddy Thompson or Rudy Giuliani on family values. He might even be able to beat them on this issue, but Romney is still in the minor leagues when it comes to Hillary Clinton's family values.

Typical Republican "Family Values" bomb them all to hell Romney is calling for the bombardment of Iran.

But he's all for family values. Guess they don't have families in Iran, huh?

Haha, to Romneyb***. You might want to learn some things about other religions before you make comments about them. Otherwise the things you say are just comical. Haha, how ignorant. Anyways, I would hope that our future president would uphold higher family values then cheating on his wife.

All you cry-babies make me laugh! Hillary has no family values. Romney has awesome family values. Must be why none of you are talking about this issue but are just dissing Romney instead.

BTW, if there where no Bill Clinton, there would be no Hillary Clinton. Think about it. THINK ABOUT IT!

As far as family values of Hillary is concerned, she has nothing to be ashamed of. There was (is) no fault of her own. Instead, she endured and followed her marriage vow to see the family crisis go through.

On the other hand, it is questionable that Romney's family values based on the mormon religion should be a model for the american family.

Just a rumble jumble mormon..bashing Hillry's values,have you taking look at your list .flip flopper,rommney,

Who is he running against, Bill or Hillary? Either way to attack the values of another person is often fought on a slippery slope.

The same speech given by Bush when he became President and look what we ended up with.

Romney's comments below apply more appropriately to Giuliani as a presidential candidate, and thus he should not be electable:

"Because the world is looking at you, you're representing not only yourself but your country," he added. "The kids or America are looking at you. One piece [of instilling values] is acting the part, acting the part of higher ethical standards."

No, it just made Bill Clinton a more human president. I don't want a family value cut-out for a president and I don't think many of us do...we want someone like US, not some out-of touch, all talk and no action President.

I love the idea of family values coming to America from the Mormons!! What a great concept!! More wives for everyone; lets home school all kids so they are easier to control when we contractually marry them out to their cousins at the age of 14; no need for medical care because we tend to each other on the family commune!!
Great notions on family values – sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormons

Would rather have Clinton's family values that Bush and company's war mongering values

So what exactly are "family values"? I'm sure Mitt Romney displays a degree of "values" with his family. Of course. But does he mean to suggest that because of another candidates husband cheated on her over a decade ago (and they've worked through the pain and humiliation and kept their family together) that she doesn't have "values"?

And the only reason that PERSONAL issue was made into a national episode was because a group of spiteful–and often hypocritical–men with an agenda made it one. In fact, most of the world thought the embarrassment with the US was the prudish display of fake conservatism played out by political opponents.

Once again, pandering to the lesser minded voters who can only focus on single issues of little importance in the overall scheme of world affairs.

blood shedding I meant

bring it on. Hillary will put you in perspective when the time comes.

Excellent posting, Wayne. Romney is a dispicable liar. If he gets into a debate with the wrong person in a key situation, he's going to get absolutely humiliated.

Furthermore, is this what we really want to teach our children? To lie, deceive, mislead? His entire presidency, everything he'd try to do, would raise skepticism because of how he's a two-faced liar. No one would be able to trust him. Not the Congress, not the judicary, not foreign leaders, and definitely not the American people. We deserve better than this. Why are we wasting our time?

Hey Mitt, ever think that family loyalty is a virtue. Oh, how about the virtue of FORGIVENESS. Oh, how about a genuine, protracted effort at improving the quality of life for all Americans, not just the marketing "wizards" and wall street opportunists and scanvengers. Tax cuts are appealing to the top 1% earners, how about the other 99%. The holier-than-thou tactic aint gonna work when there are genuine issues affecting Americans that have had way too much exposure to the tactics of the current administration (thank you Karl-the-"turd blossom"). Your affiliation with the party of this current administration is a major weakness.

Now that I know Mitt is #1 on family values, I'm DEFINITELY going to vote for him. Right...

Larry Craig was travelling through Minneapolis on Romney business! That's Family Values?

I don't always agree with Romney but i do agree that CLinton is not an embodiment of family value.

Growing desperate everyday! You are picking on everybody...I wish you could campaign with a better strategy without blood shielding!

Wayne in TX,

Whoa. Apparently you missed the memo. This is a forum for under-informed, heavily partisan, arm chair pundits to spout off on subjects that they know little about in a futile attempt to get attention.

All of this evidence and stuff you're posting is...well... a little offensive.

One of my family's values is to be true to your own beliefs. This man is not the same guy who won the governorship in Massachusetts. Is anyone really taking him seriously any longer? And the GOP's talked about " Slick Willie?"

Hillary Clinton is an example of truly good family values....She overcame and forgave her husband and raised a wonderful daughter to boot.

It's odd, isn't it, that he doesn't point to George W and Dick Cheney as role models for honesty and "family values"? Could it be that he doesn't approve of the Bush twins partying all night or Dick Cheney's daughter's alternate life style as a model for young americans?

Bill Clinton may have had his faults regarding sex and marriage, but the Republican party has absolutely nothing to brag about when it comes to integrity or sexual decency. I don't recall Bill ever getting arrested in an airport bathroom. That's a great example for our youth, huh, Mitt.

Quit criticizing Hillary Mr.Romney and tell us about Mormonism.

Plural marriage (also referred to as Celestial marriage, the New and Everlasting Covenant, the Principle, and the Priesthood Work) is a type of polygyny taught by Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, and introduced to the public by his successor Brigham Young, leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The practice became famous during the 19th century when it was opposed and outlawed by the United States government, resulting in an intense legal conflict, culminating in LDS Church president Wilford Woodruff announcing the church's official abandonment of the practice on September 25, 1890.[1] Nevertheless, plural marriage has been continued by several groups of Mormon fundamentalists in the western United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The institution of plural marriage was developed by Joseph Smith over several years, beginning in the early 1830s.[2] Scholars generally count about 30 wives for Smith, about 10 of them married to other men. On July 12, 1843, however, Smith introduced a revelation limiting the practice to strict polygyny. Plural marriages usually involve sexual relations, but some are marriages of convenience. The practice generally has not included group sex, and often each wife has had her own house.

Well, Bush seems to be faithful to Laura and look at the fine mess we are in. I'll take Hillary, Bill and his cigar any day of the week over another war!!!!!

We are not going to get anywhere in this country until we realize that 'Family values' are a non issue when it comes to who will make a better president. Family Values? Who cares?

Let's see if I understand this......

Romney is talking "values" and making it an issue.

Hillary Clinton had decisions to make within her marriage, and she chose to work through those problems for the betterment of her family/marriage.

Romney, on the other hand, is a member of a church that opnely promoted polygamy, and in some quarters still does, and has several prominent opponents in his own primary that have had dubious marriages and more than one marriage in most cases.

Mr. Romney, look to your own company before you point a finger at anybody on the other side of the socio-political strata!!!

Even more humorous, Mr. Romney, is the fact you are in the party that considers itself the barometer of "Christian values" in this country, butit doesn't consider you Christian by most standards!

Happy motoring!!!

Is this Romney's values ???
Mormon women today are still brought up to believe that the most important thing they can do is "to marry the right person, in the right place, by the right authority" (McConkie 118). Deborah Laake, who was excommunicated in 1993 for writing Secret Ceremonies, states that "it had been repeatedly impressed on me that if I failed to marry a faithful Mormon man...in a Mormon temple, I would be denied access to the highest level of Mormon heaven" (Laake 4). The temple marriage is so important "that a longing for romance on earth should not be allowed to interfere with it" (Laake 77). Twenty-one year old Mormon men returning from missions are told they should be married within six months (Laake 5

Yea Romney switches his positions on a daily basis, Hillary just switches hers on a quarterly basis.
I fail to see much difference between HRC and the Republicans.

Yes, only the religious have 'family values(tm). Those who don't believe in winged humanoids must not have the mental capacity to take the leap beyond logic to unquestionably follow an ancient, vague, out of context, moral guide. A guide which consists of a compilation of stories written by numerous authors, translated, retranslated, and reinterpreted over centuries to form the final (multi-version/interpretation), TRUE form of textual morality for which is it known today.

Why does the rightwing always think that only they have family values, only they are patriotic, they wear the silly flag lapels, spout all the moral values stuff, and then one by one, we discover that they are full of bs? They are the biggest hypocrites on earth!
Instead of debating the policies that are best for this country, they always play this silly “I’m holier than thou” crap! Enough! Let’s do vote on the best policies and ways to run our country, not this swift-boat rubbish. You can’t fool all of the people all of the time!

Mitt Romney sure has great family values, his Mormon religion believes that a woman can only get to heaven thru the good works of her husband. Sounds like he really isn't for equal rights for any woman. Why hasn't someone ask him to explain that part of his so-called family values.

What a arrogant hypocrit. Bad enough to be a hypocrit, but an arrogant one. I guess it is O.K. to be caught having a "foot fetish" at any USA airport as long as you are a Republican. Yep, MENDACITY abounds!

So the Mittster wants to star in an "Ozzie and Harriet" remake?

Posted By Cable King Pittsburgh PA : October 25, 2007 4:15 pm

But in this "remake", there would be no laugh track. And it wouldn't be a comedy. it would be a tragedy – for America.

WHAT IN THE HELL IS FAMILY VALUE!!! This is one of these feel good terms that is easily sold to the gullible, easily preyed upon so-call value voter christian. The use of this crap is sure way to prey on the weak of mind, want to be lead and in such of a daddy-leader, republican voter. This has become an art form to the religious right. Democrats have evolved to a higher plane.

Yeah, old 'Big Love' Romney is going to tell us how to live. You know, before he ran for president I thought he was a pretty smart guy, but his IQ seem to drop every time he sees a microphone. For the last time, I don't need the president as a moral example! I want the president to stop the war and fix the economy! Gas is $3 a gallon, Mitt. Now THAT'S obscene.

Hmm, the old vote for me – my wife won't screw an intern ploy. The GOP needs to get over Bill Clinton and talk about real issues.

Mrs Wolfson and Clinton Campaign - Will you please one politician (or one human being) who has never changed their position. Personally I want a candidate who is willing to research, learn more about a particular subject and make a reasoned change of decision. Don't tell me you don't want the same! Who in the Clinton camp does not wish Bush would change his position on the War in Iraq. Also, I'm pretty sure Clinton has changed her personal view on this too (hypocritically huh?)

Mitt, you will never defeat Hillary in a general, nationwide election. Not a chance in hell.

Higher standard? Such as when your grandfather flees to Mexico to continue with polygamy after Utah and the Mormon Church agreed to submit to the US law? Or how about when your father who was born in Mexico (after his father fled from the US for polygamy) ran for President although he was not a natural born citizen?

Right on Hillary doesn't "switch positions on a daily basis" She just flat out LIES, and has NO redeeming character traits.

Say what you want about Mitt Romney's flip-flopping on issues, he's got Hillary here. I like the Clintons, but I don't see how the President getting serviced by his interns in the White House and being constantly accused of extramarital affairs and sexual harrassment by women from his past promotes healthy family values.

I see... So Mitt is now judging every divorced member of our American society as "immoral"? Hillary and Bill Clinton went through troubled times and STAYED MARRIED. They have only been married to each other. So how is it that Mitt is better than them?

Mitt, get a clue... The Republican's Don't Like You.

Howard Wolfson said,

"Responding to Romney's comments, top Clinton adviser Howard Wolfson said, "Hillary Clinton needs no lessons on character from a man who switches his positions on a daily basis."

A much more funny response, Mr Wolfson, would have been:

Hillary Clinton needs no lessons on character from a man who switches his positions as often as Bill Clinton switches women.

Mitt Romney is firing shots at the Clintons about "values???" Anyone who goes on vacation with the family dog perched to the roof of the car has no "values." Any animal lover knows that

These republicans have nothing tangible to talk about themselves. So, they attack Hillary on Family Values. Guliani can't do that as it will backfire on him. And, who cares about the Family Values boogie-man. What is happening now under the number one Family Value White House:
*Rampant corruption
*Too many lies to push illegal war
*No respect for constitution
*Govt. waste in biliions
*3,900 americans dead
*100,000 innicent Iraqis crushed
*Sex scandals by prominent republicans under White House watch
*Dirty politics to expose CIA operatives and false charges against DAs
*Deny all social programs incl. SCHIP, but spend billions on war
*Mismanagement on Katrina and ignore poor people

Even knowing all these scandals, Mitt Romney and other republican hopefuls support Bush's policies. Whats the use of having a Family Value man in the White House, but allow such horrible things happen with their knowledge. I would rather give no more importance to "Family Value" theme, but have some decency in running the coutry.

Howard says "Hillary Clinton needs no lessons on character from a man who switches his positions on a daily basis." How the heck does Clinton campaign respond like this. It was an attack on the Clinton presidency not necessarily Hillary. I am sure Howard is beginning to get scared about the implications this moral stuff will have on Hillary and that Obama will steal the prize from Hillary. Mitt can still teach a lesson on not cheating on your wife. This does not necessarily mean his flip-flopping is OK. However Howard should think about that flip-flopping answer coz Hillary has also perfected that art of flip-flopping. Maybe they should look for another flaw in Mitt that Hillary does not have too. Otherwise it is Obama all the way Baby!!

"Some people may have thought their shared last name was just a coincidence, and that she was running for the White House on her own right."

Ya right. She got to where she is by riding Billy's Willie

Atlanta,
help me here. You sound as if you have been able to form a functional family regardless of the fact that it doesn't meet Mr Romney's approval.
As a diplomat – I have seen, explored, spent time with all sort of very functional, peaceful, loving family structures around the globe; most of them in utter poverty.
Please tell me how you have managed to do the same in your country–because the odds are against you.

So... if I read this correct, he's saying it's the woman's fault for the man's indiscreation... real smooth Romney, real smooth.

Wow, talk about values. He supports bombing another country, killing thousands of people, and still supporting that? This guys is nuts. Yes Mr. Clinton cheated on his wife. That is between a husband and a wife. Not between a husband, wife and Mr. Romney. This guys offers nothing to America, nothing. If he did he would be talking about it and not about the Clintons.

As someone that was a teenager when Bill Clinton was president, I have one thing to say to you, Mitt:

Teenagers don't care what the President of the USA, or any other country, is doing.

You and your 'values' do not apply to them, and they could care less. Maybe if you were the entertainment celebrity of the week or the popular kid in their school they would care what you did.

These 'values based' conservatives need to get something into their heads. People care about real issues, such as global warming, the impending energy crisis, Iraq, the economy, and taxes. The majority of people could care less about abortion and gays. Most people accept it.

Maybe once their basic needs are taken care of voters will then focus on social issues, but until then it won't happen.

No comment.

Let he or she without sin cast the first stone, Mitt.
Besides, you'll be too busy switching your political positions and bombing other countries to focus on your family or anybody elses.

What demonstrates family values more than staying with your husband after he cheats on you, and working things out for the sake of your family? While Bill may have had some bad behavior, she forgave him and moved on.

I do admire the Clinton's for their family values, especially the education of their daughter. I think all families should follow the Clinton's in sending their children to the private school of their choice.

Hillary is the person who should talk about someone switching positions! She filp flops more that a flounder.
I do not support Rommney but I agree with him about this issue. Bill made a mockery of the White House by using as a brothel.
It is time to be done with the Bushes and Clintons. Enough is enough, let's see what new blood can do.
Obama 08

OMG is that whole family values BS really what people want to hear about. Comments like those make him look ridiculous and obviously playing up to the nutty christian right. I just can't believe anyone would listen to something like what he said and would think that it makes a difference. I dont need a moral judgement by Romney. And for the record, anything Bill did in the White House, Hillary handled expertly and in a " good Christian way"

Romney's great grandfather had multiple wives and he's never condemned that. Romney sat on the board at Marriott and never said anything about all the porn that Marriott was selling for view at it's motels. I bet Romney loses some votes for this judgmental comment. I thought he was a good Mormon.

THIS GUY HAS MORE FLIP FLOPS THAN A PANCAKE HOUSE. WHAT A PIECE OF WORK.

Thank you Romney! Please keep standing up for the American Family.

The only thing they got on this guy is that he is a flip flopper.

Does Hill call her husband a flip flopper as well? Bill was Pro Life until a few years before he ran for President.

How about Hill's flip flopping. "We need to be out of Iraq immediately". "We will be in Iraq for the foreseeable future"

That is a flipity flop if I ever saw one.

Nice attempt at switching subjects as well.

The infidelity thing is going to hurt her!

Here is comes. It must be election time. Family Values! The neo-con Repubs like Romney love using this to put down their competition. I wonder if Romney has the same “family values” as his other Repubs members like Larry Craig, David Vitter, Duke Cunningham, or Mark Foley. I guess it’s more important to hide behind the family values label instead of being known as your true self like Bush, a fear-mongering idiot who lies and cheats the public, all while attempting to re-write the constitution for purely political gains. Or should I say a “Family Values Idiot” who sent over 3,000 of our citizens to an early grave because of his incompetence.

Ummm am I missing something. MR (Pres.) Clinton CHEATED on Hillary not the other way around. How does his overactive libido equate to her not having family values when SHE STOOD BY HIS SIDE

Romney thinks it's okay to deny children medical benefits but not okay to try and work out problems in a person's marriage. Maybe he should talk his sons into enlisting in the Army so they can serve their country (which has been so good to them) instead of serving themselves.

The current occupant of the Oval Office ran HIS campaign under the mantra of restoring honor and dignity to the Oval Office. He touted "family values," too. The entire world has seen how THAT'S worked....'nuff said.

Hmm . . . As much as I disagree with Hillary on every plank of her platform, I find myself (gasp) agreeing with her adviser when he said that she "needs no lessons on character from a man who switches positions on a daily basis." C'mon now, let's be fair. He doesn't switch positions on a DAILY basis.

oh stop using the excuse that Romney switches positions! Is that all the world has? That and being Mormon?! Open your mind!

Family values is about more than gay marriage and abortion. If a family has both parents sent to a war for oil what does that say about family values? What does vetoing children's health care say for families?

Howard Wolfson may think that Hillary Clinton doesn't need any lessons on character from Mitt Romney (and he may very well be right) but she certainly needs lessons regarding character and moral high-ground from somebody!

Mitt would be a better president than Hillary Clinton. Mitt has a great family and has always up held great family values. YOU ALL SOUND THREATENED because you go on the defensive so fast and you should be. GO Mitt 2008!!!

It's laughable to hear Romney talk about family values when lying seems to be an intrinsic tool in his set of values. They call it flip-flopping, but any way you look at it, across his career Romney has consistently relied on a host of lies to promote his agenda and now his conservative values.

and then the religious bigots(republican) voted in a coward-liar-thief and murderer who brought his woman from tex.(brown rice) sure improved family values at w-house

Dumb-brilliant, like soap opera Melrose Place. He calculates his statements for the broadest possible appeal. And with no evidence to the contrary, save abortion, he is hot on his way to the nomination. He's the best Republicans have.

Romney is insensitive to criticize a woman whose husband was unfaithful by saying that she herself cannot set a good example of family values. She worked through the problem and kept her family together. Our country needs to learn that divorce is not the only answer to hardships at home. She set a wonderful example.

Remember, Mr. Romney, that we are considering HILLARY Clinton for president, not her husband. You are implying that her husband's infidelity somehow reflects on her character. I think that every person who has ever been cheated on should take major offense to that – the "cheatee" is not to blame for the cheater's indefensible acts. In fact Mr. Romney if you actually would think before you speak, you'd realize that Hillary's ability to forgive her husband and maintain the marriage speaks volumes about her family values. In that regard she exemplifies the kind of values America wants to see in a president. She 'stayed the course'

Howard Wolfson said, "Hillary Clinton needs no lessons on character from a man who switches his positions on a daily basis."

That's funny considering Hillary changes her posistions between campaign stops based on the target audience.

How cn you take anything Mitt says seriously. He'll say, do, spend anything to get elected. I hope the American people aren't bamboozled once again.

I can honestly say I have a lot of respect for just about everyone in the race – Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Huckabee, Giuliani, Thompson, even little ol' Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.

But Mitt Romney stikes me as an opportunistic P.O.S., and I would be very disappointed if Republicans supported him.

Republicans are supposed to be the party of values and morals. It would be very disappointing to see them support a guy has brazenly changed his stance on just about every social issue out there just because he is trying to woo conservative voters.

Maybe Mr Romney should be reminded of how his version of "family values" has kept women in the kitchen or out of sight for millennia.

Technically Mitter is correct, BILL Clinton didn't live by his "family values." However it's a weak stance. Mr. America says: "Who cares?"

As a gay man – my family is not of high ethical standards simply because its different than tradition???

Family? What family?? Gay marriage is not nor ever will be allowed in Georgia. And no, we do not want your ethical standards taught to our children. Period. Its not a civil rights issue, its a moral issue..

Please keep your phoney "family values" to yourself. We, as American citizens have had enough of hypocritical family values from our government. Politicans raise your own families and leave others alone. You are right in one respect though..."acting the part" has been done and, obviously, badly by all the hypocritical do as I say, not as I do, phoney politicans. Stay out of American citizens family life...you do not belong there.

He has no real record in Mass. hence why he is attacking Clinton, and he claims Obama has no experience...Romney is a hippocrite and part of a legacy of losers.

What a jerk. It's Hillary running, not Bill. If anything, Hillary has been an example of family values. She could've divorced her husband after what he did, but she didn't. She's forgiven him, kept the family together and they appear to be a strong couple now (and I don't think it's just because of her campaign.

At least Bill didn't sign his family up to follow a cult that changes its beliefs every so often to appear mainline.

America can't wait until this moron Mormon goes back to his wife and kids to practice his family values. He is a poster man for stupidity!

Romney proves once again that when one tactic fails, all a Republican needs to do is bring up past Clinton peccadilloes. If that's the best he's got, it's old and tired. Better pull something else from that bag of tricks.

So the Mittster wants to star in an "Ozzie and Harriet" remake?

Now there's a qualification to be President!

As a gay man – does that mean Romney is saying he is better than me? Wow thats offensive – my family is not of high ethical standards simply because its different than tradition???

"The kids or America are looking at you. One piece [of instilling values] is acting the part, acting the part of higher ethical standards"

This is a highly hypocritical statement coming from a Republican- -

I'm assuming he's using this statement to apply ONLY to sex/marriage related values and not the values of honesty, integrity, adherence to the rule of law, transparency, etc. since those have been SORELY lacking in this administration.

Romney thinks "family values" are having more than one wife. Polygamy is ok in his book? Sounds like a great person to talk about family values.

It's rather hard to know exactly where Mitt Romney stands on the issues, especially when you conside these quotes I found on http://www.romneyfacts.com. This list of quotes was put together by some Democrats in Massachusetts to show how Mitt flip-flops to suit his needs at any particular time.....

Abortion rights

"I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose and am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard." – Boston Herald Debate, 10/29/02

"No new taxes" pledge

"I'm not intending to, at this stage, sign a document which would prevent me from being able to look specifically at the revenue needs of the commonwealth" – Associated Press, 3/27/02

"Signing the pledge now sends a very clear message to those in Washington who have voted against tax relief and for tax hikes that such actions will never grow our regional and national economies." – Romney spokesman, Boston Globe, 1/5/07

Minimum wage

"I think the minimum wage ought to keep pace with inflation. I think the minimum wage is a good thing to have in our economy and I think it ought to be updated." – Boston Globe, 10/17/94

– Boston Globe, 2/17/06

"And then another slide along the slippery slope. The Catholic Church was forced to end its adoption service, which was crucial in helping the state find homes for some of our most difficult to place children...

Stem cell research

[Romney]endorsed embryonic stem cell research, saying the controversial science might one day help treat his wife's multiple sclerosis...."I am in favor of stem cell research.

So – which Mitt Romney will we be seeing tomorrow????

Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign did not return a request for comment on Romney's remarks.

What's to say but OUCH!!
