If you are considering Mitt Romney for president, you had better read the last paragraph of this blog and do some research on your own. There is a reason that Mormons largely keep their faith to themselves...they don't want you to know what they believe. You won't even believe it until you google up the research yourself. I have and I sure as heck couldn't vote for Mitt. If he's the nominee, I will stay home on election day along with a huge number of republicans. A vote for Mitt is a vote for the democrats. Some bloggers here have been displaying an amazing irnorance of what Christianity is and what the Bible says. Might I suggest that you understand something before you comment on it. Read the Bible. It will be good for you. Then if you still decide to hate the Word of God you will know exactly what you are doing. Now, as far as Mike Huckabee is concerned, let's talk issues...

Middle East…Huckabee has been there at least 20 times. He has a deep knowledge of the issues there and is an excellent communicator. How many times has Romney been over there?

Immigration...Huck will build the fence...without polarizing the legal immigrants and other minorities. Mike Huckabee cares about people. He will not punish the children for the sins of their fathers but he will not let us be overrun by illeagals either.

Education…Arkansas schools are currently ranked 8th in the nation by a study conducted by Education Week and the Editorial Projects in Education Research Center (check the AP story) Arkansas is the only state west of the Mississippi in the top 10. Huckabee drastically improved education in Arkansas.

Economy…Arkansas' economy also drastically improved during his governorship. I know. I live here. Although Huck did raise some specific taxes (for instance the tax on tobacco) the overall tax burden on Arkansans went DOWN. Huck LOWERED taxes 94 times! Arkansas currently has one of the lowest tax burdens of any state, certainly MUCH lower than where Romney governed.

Experience…Huckabee was the highest ranked politician (Governor) in Arkansas for 10 1/2 years. He won 2 seperate elections to the Governorship in this overwhelmingly democrat state. In addition Huckabee was elected to the second highest political position in the state (Lieutenant Governor) and held that position for several years before becoming governor. Mike Huckabee has over twice the senior leadership experience of any other candidate running for president…republican OR democrat. He is highly electable and he has proven it.

Having a firm faith in the God of the Bible does not disqualify a man from being president. In fact every good president this country has ever had held that same faith.

The United States media is undermining the candidacy of John Edwards by ommitting virtually any coverage of this outstanding candidate. Why?
It is remakeable that he continues to gain support given this blatent lack of attention.
I hope the citizens of your great nation will stand up and call out the media against this injustice. Surely your electorate deserves the opportunity of being informed of this viable candidate with such substance and spirit. John Edwards could bring enhanced stature and respect for the United States world wide.
I admire Americans for their sense of justice and fair play – I hope you decide to contact your media and demand coverage for John Edwards. Your democracy deserves no less.
John Edwards, isn't it time to give him a chance to be heard?

P.S. You cannot ascribe to being the best political team if you fail to report on the candidates.

Mechelle (??) posted "The educated and business savvy are for Romney."

I am highly educated and an entrepreneur and I would NEVER believe or vote for such a lying, desperate sleaze ( Mitt Romney ). He is scary.

Look into those shifty, blinking, desperate and mad eyes- the eyes tell a lot.
Romney is a nutjob.
His wife and sons now look very depressed. They know he has no chance now.
Romney did nothing right in Massachusetts- do NOT give this madman a chance to do the same for our great country !

What do you mean? My comment is awaiting moderation?

It's easy to talk the talk, but a lot harder to walk the walk. Mitt walks the walk. I say,
mitt for Mitt. (In case some people don't know, the State of Michigan is
shaped like a mitt. See your atlas.) mitt for Mitt! Yay!

Obviously CNN and the rest of the media know what is best for America. They don't want anyone but Clinton and Obama on the Democratic side. If this were not the case they would admit there is a third person on the democratic side. Edwards will be dismissed even after he shows well in Nevada. He noe stands 3% below the other two but the media speaks only about Clinton and Obama. Real Balance.

Romney '08!!!!

Hick-a-bee will never survie outside the mid-west. Don't you people see that this gives creedence to Micheal Moore's comments about "Jesus Land!" Come on people, think for yourself and don't follow the lemming in front of you off the cliff!

If Huckabee thinks Romney is negative, he should hope he doesn't get the Rep nomination. The Dems won't be so nice! They won't just stick to his record! If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen!!!

Brigham is not intelligent

LOL – so many sheep in the bunch. no wonder these politicians think they can do anything when there are ignorant people who can't see their true colors. Mitt is a wealthy silver spoon baby trying to show he can do better than daddy. He doesn't want to be president for any reason except beating daddy at his own game. He's made his millions (or inherited them), and the only thing to do now is do what daddy couldn't. Heck, George W was probably the same ...

Vote McCain! He actually wants to lead this country. At his age, his only motivation is to leave this country better than when he arrived on it.

Mitt is the man for the whitehouse. If anyone can fix the economy, it is Mitt.

Go Mitt.

If people have good ideas, then why not say this person has a good idea and I will make it happen when I win office. It is said, "Who is wise, he who learns from everyone." This means that if Huckabee sees good ideas in Edwards, then he should go for it. Granted, in this situation I would think that it would be better to just vote for Edwards if you think the idea is good.

So, if your state only allows you to vote on one side and it is too late to change from Republican to Democrat so that you can vote for Edwards who came up with the idea instead of Huckabee who is borrowing the idea, then vote for someone who really can't win Ron Paul.

Michigan loves Mitt and will turn out for him big tomorrow.

Romney '08

And Mitt Romney is channelling David Koresh, the "Wacko from Waco".

Beware Mitt Romney.

A dangerous man hides behind the pretty mask.............................

is edwards still in the race?

The only reason it's not working for John Edwards–is the same reason it probably won't work for Huckabee.

Namely–the powerbroker's who contribute so richly to the DEM and REP parties–are pressuring their respective DNC/RNC leadership–to distance themselves from the candidates, and discredit them.

Why?

Because the DNC, Chairman and the RNC, Chairman–are frightened to death that if either of the two candidates are elected–business as usual with regard to special interest groups, lobbyiests, and of course,.,.,.all important donations from those entities will dry up.

I say–the ONLY candidates in this race who are TRULY bringing change to Washington–are Huckabee and Edwards!!

Too bad, the good old/bad old boys and girls in Washington–don't want to tip the apple cart–so neither will win their parties bid for President–at least, not if their party leadership has anything to do with it.

If it's to happen–it will have to be from pissed off, ready for change, grass-roots Americans!

John Edwards-2008
(If it doesn't work this time–I may just stop voting!!)

Mark, Lansing, MI posted:

Mitt is right. Him and Thompson are the only real fiscal conservatives in the group. McCain and Huckabee are big government liberals as far as I am concerned.

Go Mitt Romney in '08! It all starts in Michigan

I'm with you Mark. Lets bring in Mitt or Fred and their jackbooted cronies and let them give those pinko libs the what for!! I'm for torture; war; guns for everyone; elimination of taxes (dont know how were going to run the government with no revenue, but hey, thats not my problem,) forcing women to have children no matter what the circumstances (killing embryo's is taking a human life and we cant do that!) Extending the death penalty to all crimes except for a few motor vehicle violation (and most of those too) and dont get me started on what we should do to those gays. Concentration camps would be too good. Yep – we conservatives need to stick together!

I could go on and on but you get my drift........

Can the candidates use another word besides "divisive"...do they even know what it means? Seems they all use it to the extreme...

Go Mike!

When Romney said JOBS JOBS JOBS he warmed me up and he gets my vote.

I am a strong supporter of Mitt Romney and I do not understand Mike Huckabee. He claims that Mitt attacks him but Mitt only talks about the issues while Huckabee attacks Mitts wealth, his character, and calls him dishonest. I am going to vote for Mitt Romney because he will now how to save our country. Mike Huckabee gave tuition breaks to illegal immigrants. As a college student I see so many others who could use that money and Huckabee takes the people’s money and instead of helping those he represents he helps those who are breaking the law. Romney is a strong conservative who is tough against illegal immigrant and he wants all capital gains for someone who makes fewer than 200,000 to be tax-free. I will be graduating soon and I love the idea that I can invest money and not have to worry about paying taxes on it. Go Romney!!!

Nice job "Brigham". I guess you attended one of Huckabee's anti-Mormon speeches. You may be shocked to discover this, but Mormons (i.e. members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) are Christians. Don't embarrass good Christians with your forked tongue!

I wish all the GOP candidates would lay off on their "attacks", but at least most of Romney's "attacks" are on people's records and not personal attacks. I think this one comparing Huckabee to Edwards is unncessary. Huckabee's response was entertaining though. Darned those rich founding fathers who squandered their money trying to serve the country! George Washington was the largest land owner in Virginia. Romney made his money on his own and now wants to continue serving his Country.

Romney/Thompson in 2008!!! WOO HOOO!!!! By the way....as for "the "guy you work with vs the guy who laid you off"....lol..anybody besides ME ever have the misfortune at some point in their life to get STUCK with a lazy, lying,chuckling joking, horseplaying, BUM who let YOU do both YOUR job and HIS while he amused himdelf and played the class clown act??? Who NEVER pulled his/her own eight? Even on an assembly line? Take a good close look at class clown Hucksterbee. Pasty skin. Tender soft hands and fingers. ANd he confesed himself after he couldn't even make it as a third rate musician, he opted for PREACHING..why did he say on Leno??? BECAUSE IT BEAT ACTUALLY HAVING TO WORK FOR A LIVING!!!! The ONLY honest words to come out of dear Hucksterbee's mouth. The tender ex-pilsbury doughnut boy/stay-poofy mushmellow man has made his living SWEET TALKING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY EVER SINCE!!! First as a Southern Baptist Preacher/Televangelist, and then as a Politician. One and the same...

ROMNEY/THOMPSON in 2008!!! WOO HOOO!!!

Go Mitt!!! I'm sick of people attacking him because of his wealth. Don't we want someone leading this country who has the ability to be a successful business leader and MAKE money? He would do great things for this economy.

McCain has had how many years to try to make a difference in this country, and yet his home state of Arizona – he admits – has one of the largest illegal immigrant problems STILL. Why hasn't he focused on this sooner? Isn't that what a Senator is supposed to do – work in the interest of his own state? Seems like he's been trying to create his platform for Presidency for a while and lost focus of the people who actually sent him to Washington.

Romney will go to Washington and FIX IT – he's the only one with the brain power to do it!

Mitt is not worthy! simple

Hey BRIGHAM NEWSFLASH. MORMONS ARE CHRISTIANS. Thanks anyways.

I just find it hard to believe that the media has completley ignored the fact that Mitt has more delegates than any other Republican. His second place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire were a disappointment to be sure, but his victory in Wyoming with 67% of the vote netted him almost as many delegates as Huckabee got in Iowa or McCain got in New Hampshire, and Romney's delegate count from both of those states was not far behind first place. This race is far from over, and has hardly come to areas where Mitt really has strength.

Huckabee is so out of his league in this race it's not even funny.

Huck can't answer questions, can't do the math, throws jokes out there to toss the interviews into a comedy scene.

Huck sucks it up to McCain, they're both hoping to derail Romney. Huck and McCain behave like little children on a playground, taking turns at personally punching Mitt, but Mitt stands tall, presents the facts and emits true integrity. I'll call them McBee, they're sadly unprofessional and extremely immature.

McBee throws out the personal attacks at Mitt, while Mitt just brings up McBee's records, not personal issues.

Huckabee is one of those so called "Shirt-sleeve-wearing Christians" that people have GOT to beware of. He's liberal in conservative clothing and he's judgmental while wearing a pastor's robe.

McCain is obviously too old at 72 by Nov. to be a qualified Pres for 4 yrs, let alone 8. He's a liberal in conservative clothing, take a look at HIS record!!!!! Not a conservative at ALL! Just a war-monger.

Huckabee showed a very slimey side to himself here in Iowa with the "ad" that he was low enough to make, but not low enough to show to anyone but the press, who he knew would show it anyway. OOOOHHHH, that was some really bad character sighting there, it reeks of Clinton-tactics!

Mitt Romney is ruthless... he'll say anything to get votes. At least bush has convictions... this man would be a disaster as president.

Your safe Huck......Edwards only goes after DEMS
Edwards is up to no good already. On CNN, he claims how he and Obama are so much alike on issues. LOL....I can see how this next debate is going to go! The guy is really scratching. I am looking forward to the next debate. My only hope is that the debate with Tim Russert is a REAL DEBATE! Not like the love fest we saw last time between Obama and Edwards. Russert should "NOT" allow this to happen. Stick to issues. Obama and Edwards truly displayed their weakness after that fine display of debating.

It's Huckabee and McCain who are the hypocrites, not Romney. Those two guys flatly deny they say or do anything 'negative' in regards to other candidates. They're just jealous they haven't raised the funds that Romney has. And to accuse Romney of being rich like there's something wrong with that? Come on, Huckabee, you're a Republican, not a Democrat. Democrats are the ones who scold each other for being rich, not Republicans.

Glad to see Pastor Mike is still playing the holier than thou "I don't attack other candidates" part.

Also glad to see that the liberal media continues to pay no attention when Huck and McAmnesty launch their repeated attacks–INLCUDING PERSONAL ATTACKS–but decry every time Romney puts out any sort of contrast ad. What hypocrisy!

CC, you are right on in your comments. Thank you.

Here are my two cents: Huckabee and Obama are cry babies – they just can't take the heat from tough questions from anyone – every time someone raises their record for instance (the very little of it that Obama has) they get emotional and say it's a negative attack. And what is really sad is that some people fall for their whining. Come on! If either one of them is president (God forbid) – can you imagine them crawling under the desk when Chavez comes up with his "he is a devil" or Ahmadinejad's "he is crazy" comment?

What will happen to Huckabee if he finishes third in Michigan and South Carolina? Will he stay in the race or will he finally go home? I hope it's the latter.

Romney is paying a big price for his negative ads.

Romney is right. Indeed Huckabee IS channeling Edwards. He's just copying Edward's populism

Mike Huckabee = John Edwards

Is Huckabee really a Republican? Besides his pro life beliefs, this guy is really a Democrat

If it ends up Romney against Edwards in the general election, I say we put them somewhere in a strong wind for at least one debate, where no amount of hairspray will keep things in place. Wonder what they really look like?

LOL!

First, Hillary and Obama plagiarize all of Edwards' policies, Then they copy his stump speeches...

Now, we've got Republicans copying him too!! Tee-hee!

Do not accept phony imitations! Follow the LEADER! Edwards is the best candidate, hands down! johnedwards.com check out the issues pages!

John Edwards...I think I've heard of him. Isn't the the guy who took 2nd place in IA? Who beat Hilary Clinton in IA? The candidate with 18 delegates who has declared that he's still in the race?

Yeah, I think I've heard of him. I think CNN mentioned him once...

Watched CNN all day today & didn't hear him mentioned once, though. Guess CNN has decided he's not a viable candidate. Makes sense, after all, it's really up to the media to decide who are nominees should be. Just do away with the primaries & let Anderson & Wolf decide.

Mitt and Thompson are the only real fiscal conservitives ??????? You have got to be kidding me. Ron Paul has them both beat by a mile. He is a real fiscal conservative . He has never voted to raise taxes . All of the other have done that numerous times.

Go read about Ron Paul and you will see he has the right plan to get things started go in the right direction for this country.

After listening to the Huckster – I'm voting for Mitt.

Uh, Paul, are you seriously treating that AOL voluntary poll as a scientific measure? This makes sense out of a lot of your other comments. Those polls are heavily skewed by losers like us who spend way too much time on the web as well as the Ron Paul crazyheads. But anything that backs your constant Romneybashing must be right, eh?

MITT ROMNEY RAISED CORPORATE TAXES AND FESS BY A HALF A BILLION DURING HIS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE.....GOT IT? Huckabee (who I won't be voting for) raised taxes by the same amount over a 10 year period.

Romney is a liar/sleaze/flip-flopper and if you vote for him, you don't know what you are doing.

Mass Taxpayer

Mitt is right. Him and Thompson are the only real fiscal conservatives in the group. McCain and Huckabee are big government liberals as far as I am concerned.

Go Mitt Romney in '08! It all starts in Michigan.

The only states that AOL's polls show him leading...MA...by very little...MI...by very little and Utah by a landslide....wow...3 states...wow!

I was really disappointed in most of the talking heads so willingly misrepresenting the statements that Bill Clinton and Hilary have made regarding Barak Obama's positions and statements. Although I have not made up my mind as to which way to vote, it never occurred to me to suggest that the Clinton's statements could be in any way racist. In addition, I am not sure how anyone could possibly accuse them of any such thing if they took the time to read the statements and heard them in context of the questions and the in context of the entire statement. It is very disheartening to see all the the so called reporters be so shameless. It must be true. They have made up their mind to dislike Hilary Clinton regardless of what she says, what she does or what her positions may be. Too bad. I expected more from the people that purport to inform and educate the public so we can have a more informed voters. Shame on them all!!!

Huckabee is channeling the political ideas of John Edwards but he's not as pretty.

I hate to get personal, but I cannot even imagine Huckabee serving in the role of chief diplomat of the U.S. His little catchphrases and jokes, self-depracating or not, would be welcome if they were accompanied by a wealth of substance, but unfortunately, it's all he's got! This sounds harsh, but in that respect, he reminds me of Chavez. Can you imagine pulling off the coy Holiday Inn Express line when he screws up with Putin?

Or maybe he has done some secret extensive traveling because this populist class warfare is the same crap that has been limiting people's potential here in Europe for decades.

I think he makes for the perfect Arkansas governor, but it's unfathomable to me that he is only nine delegates behind Romney.

Huckabee certainly knows the difference between a tax and a fee. He's just
playing semantic games here. Huckabee does this, along with the plain
speaking folksy bit, to make up for not having a well-developed plan for
this country's economic growth. If he had the money to hire experts,
like Mitt Romney does, Huckabee would be a more credible candidate.

So he tries turning a liability into an asset by painting Mitt as a rich kid
who makes himself immune from economic hardship. But sounding
like Huey Long plays better in the South than the North. Besides, the
unemployed workers in Michigan know Romney too well to fall for
Huckabee's attempt to turn Mitt into a Rockefeller.

I agree with DenisL above, Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate that would make a positive difference. Ron Paul represents the best of what the Republican party once stood for. Somehow they seriously got lost along the way.

The rest of the GOP candidates are one in the same.

Huckabee and Edwards are the kind of people America needs to lead us out of our state of corporate fascism. They are real men not just some corporate owned prostitute who spews out meaningless blather designed to fool voters.

This has to be the nicest thing anybody has said about Mike Huckabee so far in this campaign. Obviously, Mitt Romney sees the strength of character that John Edwards demonstrates. Edwards' strategy to reclaim what we had but lost somewhere over the past Clinton-Bush dynasties. A better day is coming.

The educated and business savvy know Mitt is the man for this job.

Go Mitt!

Are you joking? I can't tell, but John Edwards wouldn't beat anyone, especially Romney. It might be a close one if it was Edwards vs Paul.

Mitt Romney is the clear choice for economic revival in Michigan and across our country.

Mitt Romney did not raise taxes or release any prisoners from jail.

Reverend Huckabee I thought was was supposed to tell the truth as a Preacher. Then why does he lie when he states that he did not raise taxes in Arkansas. According to leading watch dogs he had the worst fiscal record of any Governor they gave him an " F". The Christian Leader may be a great church going guy, but he is far from honest about his record.

Never Mind Mike Huckabe pardoned or commuted the sentence of 1033 CONVICTED CRIMINALS.

Mike Huckabee let 12 convicted Murders go from jail. One of those murders he realesed Wayne Dumond went on to kill a 17 year old girl Carol Su

Huckabee is a populist lamo that tries to play the religion card and is way bad at it!

Ike- you make good sense!

Go Mitt!!!!

Mormons are not Christians.

God save us all from Romney.

Romney already turned Huckabee's lights off regarding his fiscal record in in the 12th GOP debate. Every exploration brought forth regarding Huckabee's fiscal record has proven that he does not qualify as a conservative. The only entity that says otherwise seems to be Huckabee. In this report Huckabee has now spun around to emphasize fee increases in Romney's fiscal record. Fees and taxes operate in a different manner. It is unfortunate that he decieves people on the campaign trail claiming to be a fiscal conservative. This article is a testament that Huckabee will squeal and spin to the bitter end.

Hopefully the American public will begin to see that Gov. Romney is litterally hated by all the other GOP runners because he represents a serious threat to each one of them. Unfortunately, politics is a dirty game and there are many groups that will push this or that candidate to protect their own interests. Mr. Huckabeeis definitely being pushed by those who embrace his more liberal views – esepcially his tax policies.
He continues to accuse Romney of being the "lay-off" employer. But wouldn't he love to have the same amount of wealth Romney has? And by the way, why are we criticizing someone because he has made a fortune for himself and his family? Isn't this what the American dream is all about? Getting an education, excelling, even making a fortune but then using all these tools to do something good for one's country? Even running for president?
ANother point: whoever will be our next president will have to meet and interact other political leaders from nations around the world. Do we really want to send someone like Huckabee?

Finally regarding the fees raised in MA while Romney was in office: most of them are very specific fees that target very specific groups-that can definitely afford to pay them, like fees to transport hazardous waste, or fees for buying a SUV. It seems only fair that if MA did not want their taxes raised, another way had to be found to get to the state the money needed to cover all its expenses. Fees are ok if targeted at groups that will not really be hurt by them.

Now a response to Huckabee in the article. If anyone missed the Fox News Debate in New Hamshire the question of fees came up. Romney actually answered the question, which is something I have never seen Huckabee do. He did not hide anything. Huckabee said that Romney raised fees half a billion dollors. Romney said the would give Huckabee the numbers if he wanted to actually use facts. The fees were raised 240 million dollors and there was no shame in Romney's response. He was very candid about it and said he did so because fees hadn't been raised in decades and needed to be brought up to current costs. Huckabee wouldn't admit to raising taxes but his record is quite clear that he raised them 800 million dollors and lowered them 300 million dollors giving him a net of plus 500 million dollors. In the next debate he said he didn't raise taxes but raised hope. And that he raised taxes for the children. Huckabeen has yet to come clean on his record and still makes up stuff about Mitt that has been refuted to his face and he still can't get it straight. As for a president that is "like the guy you work with" comment, are you serious? Who wants that? I mean the guy I work next to isn't any smarter than me and I don't know how to run the free world. Obviously neither does Huckabee.

Mitt Romney = The most desperate candidate and person. He needs help. He cannot accept defeat. Stop attacking McCain and Huckabee Mitt and accept it that nobody wants you as the next President !! In 2008 you will need to find a new project. ******* PLEASE NOTE : MITT ROMNEY'S MASSACHUSETTS HEALTH CARE PLAN CAUSED MASSACHUSETTS A $100 MILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT !!!!!

I will tell you why not to vote for Ron Paul. He is an isolationist. I understand that in George Washington's farewell address he urged the US to stay out of forgien affairs. Well that was before the telephone. It is compltely impossible. Bill Clinton did a wonderful job of teaching us why not to vote for Paul. Clinton cut intelligence spending by 70%. No wonder we didn't know about 9/11 plans. No wonder we didn't know about MWD's. He cut the military, which is crippling us in the current war. Ron Paul has great ideas, I will give you that. He just isn't prectical on foreign issues. Any questions?

It is plain even in the writing that Huckabee has a hard time controlling his emotions. He insists that everyone else is running a negative campaign when they go against him, but he is the one throwing around personal insults and dodging questions. Mr. Huckabee, how is someone questioning your public record a negative thing? He must have a lot to be ashamed of to be acting the way he is.

Restoring the Middle Class, Prosperity and Quality Jobs in the United States

You must have a viable strategy that will be inherently financially supported and carried forward by the "invisible hand of economic globalization".
The US is declining as the global economic leader, only because the Fed Gov does not have a viable strategy. The US became the Economic Leader of the World only by the supported hard work of technically creative individuals, engineers and scientists, inventors, who led the world in INNOVATION (Greenspan has listed INNOVATION as the missing ingredient in the current US strategy, that previously was in place, and the Intellectual Property and Patents, built this country to be the world leader).
As a graduate engineer and small entity inventor, I have started ventures and provided quality jobs, however, the large entities, like the old “robber barons” have managed to rob me of my money and Intellectual Property. I need to retrieve my Intellectual Property to benefit US quality jobs.

The current laws, gov, large entities, venture capitalists, and powers of influence, consider what actually built this US, now equals high risk, and strongly discourage and make unpopular, any financial support for qualified individual technologists, inventors, scientists, and engineers. Studies at MIT have proven that these qualified individuals working independently have, always created the most significant inventions and new manufacturing with quality jobs.

Restoring the Middle Class, prosperity and quality jobs in the US will only happen when you create Support Programs and restore tax shelters for financial support for individual qualified engineers, technologists, inventors, and start-ups. In this way, the current 80% employment that is provided by small entities would generate a wealthy middle class, instead of a group of “hamburger flippers”. This will also solve the problem of math and science leadership of young people, and encourage the neglected 40% of high IQ students to pursue math and science.

Gobama... you're completely off track with your comments!

For all the supposed appeal Huckabee should have to middle America, I have to say that he's just not cutting the mustard at the moment and seems rather less than convincing on a couple of issues.

Me thinks mr. Romney is heading to a win in Michigan and a close 2nd in South Carolina... and he's sitting quite pretty for super Tuesday...

Gobama is awesome!!!!!

We each seem to have our own major issue(s) that make their choice for President seem like the best one. My question is: Would someone tell me why we should NOT elect Ron Paul?

The rest, with Richardson out and Kucinich low in the polls, seem to be talking crazy talk about our military adventures in the Middle East. Additionally, no one else seems to understand the problems with the economy, inflation, and out of control deficit spending. Inflation is going to eat us alive, as it has already started to do so. Do you really believe that the REAL inflation rate last year, the rate that was used by the government for Social Security check increases this month, was 2.3%? Just look at the price of gold up 30% in 2007, now at an all time high and getting higher!

One can not talk about tax cuts without ALSO talking about cutting spending. We have a $9 trillion debt (double since 2000) that must be paid so we can afford Social Security and Medicare. The interest payments will go sky high when we begin to fight inflation with higher Federal Reserve bank rates.

And we must stop inflation or everyone's life savings will go down the tubes, along with the middle class, like what has happened to the middle class in most countries south of our border. And do not forget National Health Insurance, which is coming down the tracks right at us, unless Republicans begin to understand the seriousness of runaway deficits and inflation. And start educating the country. A Democratic President will surely not fight inflation like Volcker and Reagan did!

Please vote Ron Paul and save the country from bankruptcy abroad and at home!

What fun!

Eric, Mitt would destroy your lover Edwards!

Go Mitt!

Hickupbee, you are a liar, you are afool, you say that you don't want to have religion in your running effort, yet you try to get the evangilical vote. You accuse Romney playing that card, then we see it's you that do it. You raised your state's taxes 500 million dollars. Mitt Romney asked you point blank if you did that...you didn't aswer the question when he asked you the question 3 times, your answer was it was court order...who is running your old state, you or a judge, you just keep lying.

You can't keep up with Mitt Romney, that has been proven already. You lie, your own party doesn't even want you running under the republican party, yet you try to pass yourself off as a conservative when you are a populist, everyone know it too.

Get out when you can before you eat more crow you hillbilly!

Go Mitt!

John Edwards should attack Mitt Romney, and make him look like the fool he is.

Makabee is taking a beating from all sides; but I do like his cute and cutting retorts. LOL

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? lol

Isn't it fun to see these two christians competing to see who can degrade the other most?

What would these 'nice' christians do to non-christians? LOL

Put either of these 'nice' christians in the White House, Americans, and we have another destroyer to replace the present christian crusader in the White House.

Who believes anything Romney says? He gives flip-flopping a whole new meaning.

John Edwards would beat Mitt Romney, hands down.

Indeed?
Class warfare DOES exist in this country and it is being waged from the Top down!
Middle class standard of living has been in free fall for DECADES now!
In REAL MONEY this generation gets less than the previous one and the NEW DEAL is being dismantled by people like Romney.
He's an empty suit and deserves the Whupping he's getting dispite all his big money corporate $$$!
HA!
I'll take Edwards 1st Huckabee 2nd and I'm a life long DEMOCRAT!
