		<description>HAHAHA Jeff. His kids are working hard to get elected? Yeah, how about they don&#039;t want to go to Iraq. Funny spin..funny…

Posted By David Columbus, OH : November 14, 2007 1:18 pm 

Let me see Dave, if I remember right, when I went down to the recruiter and joined it was a volunteer type setup. 

Is it still a volunteer military like it was when I PROUDLY volunteered and enlisted, so Hillary who actually voted for the war authorization should FORCE Chelsea to join using your logic.

Granted that was a knucklehead answer, to an even stupider question. 

Has anyone ever asked Hillary why Chelsea was not in Iraq considering SHE DID VOTE FOR THE WAR? 

Must have missed that Dave. 

Everything Jeff said is the factual truth funny man.</description>

		<description>Is it illegal to spend campaign money when one is running for president? Of course NOT! So why is this an issue to some?

Mitt Romney is one of the hardest working individuals - he legitimately earned his fortune, it wasn&#039;t given to him by anyone and he alone should have an exclusive right to his spending (how much, when, and where). Additionally, Romney raised millions and millions of dollars while running his campaign for president - so he SPENDS because he CAN.

And please, quit that nonsense that he is buying his way to the White House.</description>

		<description>Mitt gets my vote for staying married to the same woman for over 30 years, a great family man whose children are working to get their father elected. I like that he made money before going into politics and should make him a little less bribable from the likes of Mark Rich. He really seems to be a good person whose views have evolved to fit the position. A number of people see him as a flip flopper but I really think it is more of an evolution. He is also the only top candidate that was a governor, which means he has run something and also run a budget.

		<description>Oh, come on, what a non-story. $85,000 per day is peanuts for a national campaign.  I bet coca-cola spends a million per day on their advertising and it doesn&#039;t mean squat.

If you aren&#039;t well known, what better way to show people who you are? Sheesh folks go back home and quit h8ing.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a Republican and I will NEVER vote for Romney.  I hope you party hacks are listening.  The Republican party&#039;s only hope (and the only hope for this country) is RON PAUL in &#039;08.

		<description>Brian at Cottonwoods,

You are mistaken about Romney having only one wife. Ron Paul has been married to the same woman for over 50 years.

Aside from those two, I am unaware of the other dudes running for office.</description>

		<description>You know, advertising will only piss people off if you ruin their TV programs with commercial after commercial of Romney. If people won&#039;t vote for you, wasting money to blast them with non stop ads won&#039;t change their mind.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a very conservative evangelical Christian.  By that, I mean I have a very conservative view of what the Gospels are telling us.  

Mr. Romney is a very nice fellow, but he isn&#039;t a Christian.  He&#039;s a Mormon and that&#039;s a very different thing.  They&#039;re nice folks, true, but their practices are not Biblical.  If you don&#039;t believe me, ask a Mormon what their faith is all about.  

I have to say it&#039;s a choice between Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee if I were voting Republican at all.  

Republicans have spent all these years telling us to vote our &quot;values&quot; but now they&#039;re telling us to look beyond that issue.  It would seem to me that the Republicans have just been paying lip service to the Evangelical movement.</description>

		<description>The prejudice of so many here is appalling. Aside from Mitt being the smartest candidate, he is the richest candidate. He is the most ethical as well. While I would like to see Ron Paul be the next president, that will not happen due to the ignorance of the American public, however, if I have a choice between Mitt and anyone else  running with a chance to win, he will get my vote. I am afraid that Hillary will win the next election and it will be a sad day when this democracy in name elects a socialist.</description>

		<description>He can spend all he wants but he is losing ground fast compaired to Mike Huckabee in Iowa...and Huckabee hardly has any money to spend.

I&#039;m going to call it.  Romney hasn&#039;t a prayer of getting elected.

If the mad cash can&#039;t hold his lead against the no cash Huckabee...he hasn&#039;t a chance.

Go Huck.</description>

		<description>Yeah for Romney.  He has nowhere near the recognition of the other GOP contenders, no one knows him.  He wasn&#039;t a star on a crime TV show, he wasn&#039;t the mayor of NY during 911, he wasn&#039;t a former POW and presidential condidate.

Moey well spent.  He is doing better and better</description>

		<description>If everyone is so worried about putting a Mormon &#039;cult member&#039; in control of your government, why aren&#039;t you worried about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid? He&#039;s a Mormon too! Could it be that nobody cares because Harry&#039;s a liberal?! I guess if you&#039;re a conservative Mormon you&#039;re a cult member but if you&#039;re a liberal Mormon nobody cares.</description>

		<description>Being a record spender isn&#039;t what I look for in a candidate.  It&#039;s a bad habit that trickles into the Oval Office.  I&#039;d prefer a candidate that knows how to spend wisely.</description>

I will enjoy reading your excuses why Hillarity lost and why Romney won, it will be well worth the wait. 

She has NEVER run anything and he has more vast experience and fiscal intellect than she could ever dream of. 

She can&#039;t prove her experience because her papers are all &quot;luckily&quot; locked up.

She can&#039;t throw the flip flop at him, because her views change from second to second, speech to speech, debate to debate and poll to poll, unlike his that are based on YEARS of real LIFE experience.

She can&#039;t talk about family, because Mitt has had one wife, no cheating and her husband, well, lets just say he&#039;s ADMITTED to being a liar, was disbarred and we won&#039;t even discuss the scandals.........

Bring it on Sillary and Billyboy, we need a change and you two &quot;aint&quot; bringing nothing but more of the same tired lies and scandals.</description>

&quot;A veteran needs medical marijuana to help with injuries he sustained in war, the veteran asked Romney if he would arrest him and his doctor for prescribing the medical marijuana. Romney just turned and walked away and didnt give him the time of day.&quot;

It wasn&#039;t a veteran and he was a plant, he&#039;s at all the news events, they bait the candidates and and have camera men ready to film it.  It&#039;s an old trick to fool folks like you.  And his claim was he had MS and had to have it for MS.  Well Mitt&#039;s wife has MS and knew first hand he was full of BS.</description>

		<description>Check the polling data.  Mitt, Thompson are on the rise, McCain is rebounding from the immigration debacle and Guilianni&#039;s numbers are coming down. 

Even though Mitt is still hovering pretty low in the national polls he&#039;s coming up in popularity. I&#039;m sure this is due to the money hes spending on getting his ads out. 

He has a negative sterotype because of his position on gay marriage, his religion, etc.  So he really needs to work on getting his message out to counteract negative opinions. Unlike McCain, Gulianni, and Thompson (all of whom had low negatives coming into this race) Romney has needed to overcome alot of obstacles from the start.  

It&#039;s Guilianni&#039;s race to loose. Frankly if Romney expects to win this he needs to work TWICE as hard as the other candidates.</description>

		<description>This is an acceptable comment?....

&quot;I&#039;d love to see him in a tv ad wearing his magic secret pjs. That would be cute. Maybe with all his wives surrounding him too.&quot;
Posted By Jeff T, Honolulu, HI : November 13, 2007 10:53 am 

Well then this must be too...

I&#039;d love to see Obama in a tv ad eating a watermellon and a bucket of chicken swinging from a tireswing. That would be cute. Maybe with all his cottonfields surrounding him too.

or maybe...

I&#039;d love to see Hillary in a tv ad wearing oven mitts and an apron with a black eye for talking back to her husband. That would be cute. Maybe with all her kitchen appliances surrounding her too.

or maybe...

I&#039;d love to see Guiliani in a tv ad slicking his greasy italian hair back and his face burried in a bowl of ravioli. That would be cute. Maybe with all his stupid Popes surrounding him too.


Point is... a bigot is a bigot.  Mormons have done nothing negative to any of you who speak evil.  They are actively engaged in spreading what they believe as the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.  Agree or disagree, but please keep your bigotry tamed.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s get the definition right! Buying an election, that very negatively charged barb hints that he is buying votes, i.e. actually giving people money directly for their vote.  Campaigning, getting his message out, is not dirty, underhanded nor evil, and it isn&#039;t buying the election.

Further, for all you hate mongering Christians, you say you can&#039;t vote for a Mormon because he&#039;ll present Mormon religion while in office.  Then you argue that he can&#039;t be president because he &quot;hasn&#039;t followed his religion in opposing gay rights and abortion!&quot;  Do you hear how you&#039;re being two-sided hypocrits.

Because he isn&#039;t spending money he fund raised. He is spending his own money. So he is indeed buying the election with his own cash. 

Honestly whats so conservative about a candidate that is spending more than he is taking in?</description>

		<description>Mitt Romney is spending alot of money for three reasons: (1) Increase his lead in the Primaries, (2) Increase name reconiction and (3) find as many voters who are not biased against him simply for his religious beliefs. 

John Edwards said that he wouldn&#039;t accept anyone&#039;s vote merely because they don&#039;t want a woman president. That should be true for any presidential canidate regardless if they&#039;re black, mormon or female.</description>

		<description>Romney is an idiot.  I would never vote for someone who turns his back on a veteran asking a question.  For those of you who don&#039;t know... A veteran needs medical marijuana to help with injuries he sustained in war, the veteran asked Romney if he would arrest him and his doctor for prescribing the medical marijuana.  Romney just turned and walked away and didnt give him the time of day.</description>

A veteran needs medical marijuana to help with injuries he sustained in war, the veteran asked Romney if he would arrest him and his doctor for prescribing the medical marijuana.  Romney just turned and walked away and didnt give him the time of day.</p>

		<description>If Romney wants to spend a million a day for advertisement what is it to anyone else&#039;s business. If he wants to spend his money that is his prerogative.
   No one should get upset if I spend my money, I do not get upset if some else is spending theirs. 
   You do not have to vote for him just because he is spending any amount of money.
   He is no different than any of the others running, they all are doing all they can or can afford to do to get the nomination of their party.
   They all are trying to convince you to vote for them.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sorry to disagree, but the &quot;nobody knows Mitt&quot; argument is truly without merit.  We all know him by now; and, unfortunately, he&#039;s still spending and spending and spending.  I am reminded by his ads, and thsoe of others, of young children who labor under the delusion that, if they just harp on something long enough, they&#039;ll get it.  Mitt is a consummate businessman and realizes that many people actually seem to believe what ads say, even when they are at cross-purposes with one another.

The argument that people are contributing to Mitt&#039;s campaign and that, therefore, he must spend that money campaigning, is also not entirely true.  Much of the money Mitt is using and has used is his own, and
all the events simply mean that he has a forum in which to ask for yet more money.  I&#039;m surprised that anyone is keeping count of such things.  It&#039;s not quantity but quality that counts, and the quality has yet to be proven, particularly with all the changes of position.</description>

		<description>Proof one man really can buy anything he wants, with enough money and an oleaginous public image. If ends up as the chosen representative of the republican party, they deserve to lose and lose badly. What image is this?</description>

		<description>If spending all that money amounts to getting the most competent, most qualified, most experienced, and the most virtuous candidate to be our next President, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;so BE it &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;!  Oh, and yes, &lt;b&gt;Romney is that candidate&lt;/b&gt;!</description>

		<description>In 2005 alone, Proctor and Gamble spent $8.2 BILLION selling shampoo and razors.

In 2004, the Presidential elect cost $1.2 Billion.

It seems to me like maybe there isn&#039;t enough money in Politics...certainly the choice of who will be the next President of the United States is more important than what brand shampoo you buy.  I say  keep spending money to educate the people about this hugely important decision!</description>

		<description>If Mitt Romney is so carefree with his own money just think how he will be spending the taxpayers money.

Mitt Romney reminds me of Kerry in Republican clothes.  It makes me angry that a person can personally buy an election (or try to).  The reason Mitt Romney might have done more events than any other candidate (which I don&#039;t even know if that statement is correct) is because he is not having to do the fund raising that the others are doing.  For the money he is spending, he should be the front runner.  However, both Huckabee and Ron Paul seem to be gaining in the polls even for the small amount of money they have spent.</description>

I am so tired of traitors who pretend to support the people, while doing their best to support the wishes of special interests.</description>
