I think Romney has been incredibly provoked and pressured and I've not seen him crack like Huckabee and McCain. I dont' see how he does it – I wish he would turn loose on them just once. But I do admire the man for his tolerance and self-control in not using Clinton tactics to smear his opponents.

The more time goes on the more Mc/Heck's true character surfaces.

Voting for a true Republican – For the People

Vote for Mitt Romney!!

Something Chris Wallace, Russert and Mccain did not do.

When asked about "set timetables for withdrawel" as the Dems were pushing, Romney said he would VETO such a proposition.
He also spoke of how damaging this would have been in World War 2.

In reality, Bush and Malaki "have" set goals, benchmarks and timetables, to gauge progress!

But NO "set date of withdrawel" has ever been proposed by Bush or Romney.

McCain is a liar. He lied in the debate when he denied he had stated he was ignorant on economics and two days later this whopper.

No more talk from McCain or Hucabee about being honorable. They're both liars.
Nice job Pastor!

He's pulling a page right out of the Clinton's book–knowingly, purposefully, lying about an opponent.

I knew during the debate that the Straight Talk Express had broken down. I didn't know that it had completely died.

McCain – you really should be ashamed of yourself. Just because you have no clue when it comes to the economy doesn't mean you need to hypocritically turn to such cheap tactics. You know you lied during the debate. You know you lied when you said you won more Republican votes in NH and SC (no they were Indy's). Now you're blatantly lying about what Romney said. It's all out there for people to read. They're going to see you're lying. You're simply hoping they just hear your rubbish and do no independent research.

As one who lives in your state of AZ, I am ashamed of your shameless politics. You are washington through and through.

McAmnesty Lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Well, there's no question that the president and Prime Minister al Maliki have to have a series of timetables and milestones that they speak about, but those shouldn't be for public pronouncement," Romney told ABC in April.

Somehow I don't see anything about *withdrawal* timetables in that. NOTHING. Of course the PM of Iraq needs timetables and milestones. They need to be responsible and accountable for working toward progress. That's simply called good management–something Romney knows a lot about.

Shame on you McAmnesty for trying to be so deceitful. You'll never get my vote because when the pressure is on all you do is lash out with your bad temper and lie about people. That's hardly "leadership"

McCain has himself set a time for withdrawal from Iraq I believe it was 100 years from now!

McCain is an angry old stinker. It's getting dirty now. McCain should just stick to the facts. He is looking slimier by the day.

Oh- and by the way ANCY McCain's immigration policy IS amnesty. Have you been living under a rock?

Maybe you need to take you valium, you seem to like the pharmaceutical companies so much.

Romney 08!

Romney owes John Mc Cain an apology for never serving his country.

This is not an endorsement; it's just an observation.

And having any kind of timetable might just accomplish that.

Good grief! Vote McCain and see your grand- and great-grand kids getting blown up in that God-forsaken country!

McCain can then say what heros they were.

I am in complete agreement with Garrett on this one. McCain is being ridiculous. He has taken Romney's statement out of context and is trying to manipulate voters with it. So much for "straight talk" "my friend".

I don't think however that Romney should have demanded the apology from McCain. Let it be – people know better. Instead, Romney should have just explained to voters what exactly he meant when he said "there's no question that the president and Prime Minister al Maliki have to have a series of timetables and milestones". It is very obvious that Romney didn't say that he wanted "to set a date for withdrawal" as suggested by McCain.

McCain is a liar and a manipulator. Is that what we want to be in charge of our country?

Take a close look at this man and don't fall for the "my friends" and winking crap or you'll be duped.

He's not the Saint he wants you to think he is.

1. Repeat your opponents words out of context

2. Act "absolutely outraged" (it seems to be everybody's favorite phrase when they call Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, etc.)

3. Repeatedly demand an apology for the group that has been insulted – currying favor from that group while at the same time making you opponent lose face. It works whether an apology is made or the statements are defended.

The neo-cons have it down to a science!

"Well, there's no question that the president and Prime Minister al-Maliki have to have a series of timetables and milestones that they speak about," Romney said in an April 3, 2007 interview on ABC's Good Morning America.

"But those shouldn't be for public pronouncement," Romney continued in the interview. "You don't want the enemy to understand how long they have to wait in the weeds until you're going to be gone. You want to have a series of things you want to see accomplished in terms of the strength of the Iraqi military and the Iraqi police, and the leadership of the Iraqi government."

You decide for yourself what that means. To me, this sounds exactly like what McCain has been saying as well. But that's just me. Be careful everyone not to believe quotes unless you dig a little deeper.

Romney needs to stop playing politic games. In reality, he is the one trying to shift the focus of the issues. If people are listening to McCain on the Iraq issue, then why is Romney trying refocus them to the economy issues? Romney is just playing games to gain him the vote.

Let's hope that people see Romney and McCain for who they are.

McCain in '08

We clearly need a business man with moral character and real values. Brother Romney hasn't ever claimed to be perfect, and his ability to learn and change his opinion based on his knowledge and experience is a positive attribute. Why on earth would anyone consider changing opinion and admitting being wrong to be a bad thing?

My husband and I voted for McCaine in 2000. Not again.
