"The Bush tax cuts INCREASED revenue"

Hmm, then explain to me how the Euro and the Canadian Dollar came to be worth more than our US Dollar during Bush's reign? Face the facts, Texans. We are a sinking, outsourcing economy.

It always cracks me up when socialist-liberals claim that the government is the solution to our problems.

They want take away the power from the people and centralize in the federal government then have the nerve to accuse conservatives of being facists.

Oh the irony.

How on earth can you and your fascist friends think that corporations holding your money is such a good thing?

Money in the hands of private businesses is exactly what makes the economy grow. The Bush tax cuts INCREASED revenue. Care to explain that? Go get some experience in the business world and quit listening to your college professor like he is God.

"How on earth can you and your lib friends think that the government holding your money is such a good thing."

How on earth can you and your fascist friends think that corporations holding your money is such a good thing?

" Libs are always talking about a government surplus, did you see anything from that money other than your tax amount on your check stub?"

Take an economics course. You truly sound like a child on mommy's computer.

Your moron Republicans have put the country more in debt than ANY OTHER administration in history.

G'wan, beat it, kid, go home and change your diapers.

I think his campaign could have issued the statement with a little more class:
Mitt Romney’s campaign announced Wednesday that it is airing a television ad bashing Democrat Hillary Clinton in Michigan.
Come on, show a little respect, Mitt.

You are a complete idiot. Do you honestly think that Romney's camp made the announcement just like CNN put it? "bashing Democrat Hillary??"

Just like his ads about Huckabee, do your homework people…it is true and sometimes it is not a bad thing to help out the brainwashed.

I am undecided for my vote as of right now, but as far as this article is concerned. Mitt does have a ridiculously good record. He is smart & has continually proven he can take horrible situations and improve them.

I look at what he did as Governer and am curious to these "failed as Gov comments". I suspect this is coming from a niche minority who lost out on having their way.

Don't only read CNN, lets find the best candidate to get us back on teh right track…and I am not saying that has to be Romney.

THIS MAN IS JUST UGLY! AND I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT HIS LOOKS.

All he does is attack anyone, he has no solutions and was a joke when he was governor of Mass….instead of attacking Huckabee, Clinton and Giuliani he needs to speak about the issues, o wait, he doesn't have any positions so he can't.

Yo Romney! I was a resident of MA in 1994 when you promised that you'd be a better candidate for gay people than Ted Kennedy. We (gays) knew it was a crock even then - it's called pandering and you weren't very good at it. You're still not. Hey! Maybe you can claim you were "brain-washed" by the gay lobby - I think there's a fair chance the religious zealots would go for it. What could you lose at this point? Besides your self-respect, I mean.

OMG TYSPOCK,
How on earth can you and your lib friends think that the government holding your money is such a good thing. Libs are always talking about a government surplus, did you see anything from that money other than your tax amount on your check stub? Vote for your silly socialist presidential candidates and life will be sooo much better.

Hi J from Houston:

I agree fully BUT the GOP has turned the surplus of Clinton's budget into a multi trillion defecit. All this with, until recently, a GOP Congress. This was under their watch and was it not Bush who was pushing for the so-called "Immigration Reform Act?"

Here is the Republican candidates:

Posted By Darth Vadik, Glendora CA : December 12, 2007 3:02 pm

That's retarded. The issues are blantly obvious for the Republican party.

Make tax cuts permanent.
Lower taxes further.
Simplify the tax code.
Decrease government handouts.
Lower corporate taxes to stimulate growth.
Defend the country in the war on terror.
Defend our borders and enforce immigration aggressively.
Defend the rights of unborn children.

The problem is always finding a candidate in any party whom is that smart and actually lives up to his talk.

Why does the Republican party hate Hillary?
Pro abortion
Anti Iraq
Anti Petraeus
Raise Taxes
Increased spending to go with the increased revenue.
Best Experience is 2 senate terms and NO OTHER ELECTED POSITIONS.

She represents the exact opposite on every policy.

Quit reading only California newspapers, do your own research. California is slowly becoming the biggest site for academic inbreeding in the world.

Why is Romney's wasting money on anti-Hillary ads in this nomination phase?

People shouldnt trust Romney's experience in business and governorship. He has the highest burnt rate (amount spent on $ raised) of all candidates, and he is running around 3rd in the republican nomination bid. He could have better spending money bashing giuliani or huckabee. At this point, he may not win the republican nomination.

Hod it! Is Mitt becoming another Don Quixote by fighting the windmills of Hillary? No one has been nominated yet.

If Mitt is fighting what does not exist, he would be perfect in dealing with Iran.

He states his qualifications quite readily by his tactic: let's deal with what IS NOT now. Sheer delusion!

Get a grip and stay in the now!

This country will do well with Hillary and Hilary will do well for this country.
I cannot believe the people who get their marching orders from "HATE" TV and "HATE" radio, it seems that most of them have loss the ability to think for themselves, as you can see from some of the comments which mirror the comments on hate TV and hate radio – check the newspaper comment sections. If they were really concern about where Hillary would take this country they would really be expressing their utter discuss about where the Bush administration has already taken it - which is down - way way down ! surplus long gone, thousands of lives loss for a completely unnecessary war, 1 trillion and counting taken from our national treasury – funds that our children and their children will need to pay for, 50 billion paid to insurgents to stop attacking our troops – al least for now or until we stop paying them again, 12 billion in 100 dollar bills they claim is just missing - the list of unbelievable stuff just goes on and on and with no lessons learned from the past ; the times when we gave weapons and billions to the Taliban who were fighting the Russians at that time as well as the northern alliance ( now the current leadership of Afghanistan ) not to mention all the weapons and billions more dollars we gave Sodom Hussein during the Iraq - Iran wars – this all after the horrific gassing this administration likes to point out and those plane load of weapons Ollie gave to the Iranians during the U.S. led embargo ? – Why and what for? Were any of those weapons sent to the insurgents in this Iraq war ?. Now days our economy is in shambles, we are on the verge of a recession, this administration has been wrong about so many things that our credibility and respect around the world has been badly soiled, as Scott McCulin said he lad to lend the bush administration some credibility, Tony Snow was kind with his “somewhat of an embarrassment” remark – so Do your homework folks - then decide – because one more Bush like neo-con like administration could well do us in! Our founding fathers prevail over the most powerful military on earth because bullets will never be a substitute for the will of the people – a well informed people ! Neo-cons should return to the toy soldiers of the youth and leave the real soldiers to leaders like Hillary who will make decisions as their commander and chief worthy of the service and their sacrifices !

how does being governor give you more experience than being senator. You have no international responsibilties, no defense issues, and only state finincial issues.

– Dr. Truth, Boston

So by your logic she's more qualified than her husband was when he ran back in 1992.

I think your fellow kool aid drinking liberals would disagree with you.

Being a Senator or First Housewife does not qualify as LEADERSHIP experience. Especially on the level of governing a state.

WHO SAID CLINTON WAS THE ONE TO BE. HE MIGHT BE WAISTING HIS MONEY.

I think his campaign could have issued the statement with a little more class:
Mitt Romney’s campaign announced Wednesday that it is airing a television ad bashing Democrat Hillary Clinton in Michigan.
Come on, show a little respect, Mitt.

I always thought Romney was running in the Democratic field. I think he forgot he's a Republican.

Sounds to me like someone is scared!!! I seriously don't know why the candidates are throwing away their money! 4 million dollars on ads?! How about donating that money to cancer research, homeless shelters, or heck even animal shelters!! How about Katrina victims or California fire victims? If I heard about a candidate actually donating their money to help someone OTHER than themselves, why that would definitely buy my vote!! But then I wouldn't get to see your face on the TV for that split second right before I switch the channel to find out what else is on….

I'm not a Romney fan but he makes a good point here. Hillary has zero executive experience. She's probably pretty good at sitting on committees and putting in her two cents, maybe even drawing up some legislation, but she has never once been in a position as a decision-maker. And here she is running for the biggest executive position in the world. And she's running on experience?

Here is the Republican candidates:

1. No to Clinton

2. No to moveon.org

3. No to George Soros

4. Did we mention we are anti Hillary

Pathetic, no ideas of their own, NONE, NONE.

Talking points, talking points, talking points.

Well, let just see you conservatives that are anti Clinton, over 70% of the US would take Bubba Clinton back over Bush without a second thought. So find a new "wedge" issue, because the old ones are just not as interesting any more.

Does Romney actually think that the chrisitian right is going to vote for him?

Who is he fooling?

Why is he wasting his time with this election?

…and even if by some ridiculous miracle he wins the Republican nomination, Hillary will spank him back into the hole e came crawling out of.

Be carefull what you what you wish for Mitt! You just might get it.

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb move…come on stop bashing eachother

how does being governor give you more experience than being senator. You have no international responsibilties, no defense issues, and only state finincial issues. Romney was a failure as a Governor and he would never again win re-election in Mass if he ran.

Don't worry Mitt, I would elect you president of Planet Kolob and support eliminating term limits for you there.

True citizens would start a war against these 17th century English Hiarchy wannabees.

This, coming from a failed governor, leaves little to be desired.

Romney has more brain power and leadership experience than all the other candidates combined. The man can fix anything.

Not only is he the best republican candidate, but also the best choice for a democratic voter on the republican side. At least he is who I would vote for if I had to vote republican.

I may disagree with some of his issues, but I absolutely have to admit that if he did take the white house, a lot of our probelms would be fixed. He is a fixer and a genius.

If my democratic candidate does not get the nominee, I'm voting for Mitt. I already voted once for him in Massachusetts and was pleasantly suprised.

We finally need a president with a brain.

Huckabee is a Bigot.
He in no way should be President of the United States

Curious to know Romney’s plans to improve the economy, he's been very quite about the subject. If he ever does acknowledge that there is a big problem with our economy, (middle class financial crisis). I'm sure his plans (what ever they are) will sound very similar to the current Presidents. Excerpt from yesterdays Greenspan article. "The growth of fairly educated low-cost workers, and exports from developing countries flattened wages in developed countries and reduced inflation expectations globally, including inflation expectations in global long-term interest rates. In retrospect, global economic forces, which have been building for decades, appear to have gained effective control of the pricing of longer debt maturities. Greenspan noted that home prices had risen sharply around the world, the rise in U.S. home prices was "average" compared to rises in other countries. http://today.reuters.com/misc/PrinterFriendlyPopup.aspx?type=businessNews&storyID=2007-12-12T082049Z_01_N12583287_RTRUKOC_0_US-GREENSPAN-ECONOMY.xml

I'm not a huge Hillary fan, but will Mitt ever air a Pro-Mitt ad? OR is it going to be just an anti - [fill in contender's name] campaign from here on out?

Mitt is intelligent and makes a great point. If I had his background I would make the same case for myself aginst an obviously badge seeking Hillary

Romney just gave Hillary a boost by assuming that she'd win the nomination. Don't care for you much, Mitt, but thanks for the favor!

Hmmm…no experience, huh? I guess he forgot that she's a two-term state senator with a great bipartisan track-record. What a rediculous R.I.N.O. this guy is! He's scary because he'll tell such huge lies in his pursuit of the presidency.

There you go make the job easier for OBAMA. You have no credibility. You are a failed person and you flip-flopping shows you do not belong in a position of leadership. I leader knows how to take a position and explain that position and does not change because someone else thinks he is wrong. He only changes because through searching they have found a greater reason to take a different position. Running for President is not a reason to change you you are. You are who you have become and if you simply change to appease the masses you have become nobody. And a nobody cannot be elected President of this great nation.

A non-nominee attacking another non-nominee. What a waste of bandwidth.

Since when is running government running a business? Admissibly, Clinton jettisoned stock in Pfizer and Wal-Mart shortly before it became public, all the whikle courting labor unions, but Romney: rrunning a business is not a requisite for running a government. The executive branch was never meant to be as powerful as it is now — we only have the illusion of one leader because of the power of a veto pen to slash and curb essential programs and a blank check written by Republicans after 2001 for military incursions in Iraq and Afghanistan. What are Romney's qualifications and who are Romney's donors? Before he was governor of Massachusetts, he was CEO of the 2002 winter olympics, which does not qualify — it's sort of like — owning a Texas sports team, if such things are familiar? As for donors: Goldman Sachs, Merill-Lynch, Bain Capital, Marriott International, Morgan Stanley, Hig Capital, Citigroup — all financiers, all usurers that profit from loan sharking and subprime interest rates. Romney, go back to Massachussetts.

Hillary only failed at healthcare reform because Newt Gingrich and the rest of the GOP cronies were so afraid that she would actually succeed at bringing about the much needed change in our health care system. I am so sick of the term socialized medicine. This isn't about outdated political ideologies, this is about covering everyone with affordable healthcare. I suppose you still think Cuba is a threat to the US national security too? What a joke!

Clinton has more experience than many of the candidates… she is a Senator for God's sake and she has the resource of tapping the former president for advice. Whether you hate Bill Clinton or not, our country prospered under him. Hillary's been involved in politics for years and she's done more than any other first lady ever. What does Laura Bush do besides bake cookies and serve her doofus husband? Why are you neo nazis so afraid of her? laughable…

Mitt, she is a US Senator. That's trumps governor in most political evaluations.

Thats right he is just a BIG fLiP FlOp! A real flip floper and just watch if he is elected which I really doubt but he will flip flop on his conservative stand on the Immigration issue he claims to be cuz you why? he will realize the need for immigrants in this country whether legal or illegal

Excellent strategy, Governor! Keep up the good work!

I despise both Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton equally, but I must admit, this is rather funny, but more importantly true!!!! Maybe Laura Bush can run during the next election. Her and Hillary have the same amount of experience…they both decorated the White House Christmas Tree.

Hillary for President…

of tree decorating!!! I'd vote for her…did you see that tree when Bill was in office?? It was beautiful!

I do find it interesting that it is Senator Clinton that the Republicans and even the democrats are attacking. You don't go after people you know you can easily beat but rather you spend your time trying to bring down your comptetition in order to make yourself appear the better candidate. Interesting that Obama is not in more confrontations I guess they're not worried about someone who though he touts change continually reverts back to the old ways.

Did I sleep through the holidays and Hillary already won the Democratic nomination???

Romney, why don't you take your flip flops and go home!!!

Captain Negative at it again!….he does have a point though

Being the First Housewife for eight years does not equal leadership experience.

High School football coaches have more leadership experience than she does!

Mitt Romney is so lame. I not a Rep, but would vote for anyone besides him and Preacher Huckabee

Talk about desperate! These guys should use their resources going after Huckleberry, but they are scared to death of Clinton so would rather squander a chunk of their bankroll on ads against her. Interesting, they never lay a glove on Obama, who they are praying will win the Democratic nomination. They know he's weak, inexperienced, can't handle criticism and absolutely perfect for the Republic Attack Machine to turn into mincemeat.

What was she in charge of at the White House? Hmmmmm….

She certainly failed on health care and keeping Bill from straying like a sick dog..
