He is arogant and angry at anyone who disagrees with him. I wrote a letter to him explaining why immigration was personally an issue with me and basically received a letter back stating he knew better what was good for the country. If this bozo does not listen to the constituents of Arizona...he will most definately Not listen to the constituents of the United States. He has already stated he will grant amnesty to illegals and support the war for as long as it takes. Also, he stated the jobs shipped over seas are gone so he will provide training. Training in what? If we allow 22 million illgals citizenship and continue to ship our jobs offshore...what training will he provide? I have been a Republican for 20 years however if he receives the GOP..I will be voting Democrat. I voted for Mitt Romney. At least we have a chance with him.

To Charles, from Salt Lake...what an insult. Mitt Romney's faith is to have no bearing on how well he would perform as President. To set the record straight, LDS people do not believe that how much material wealth you have is how God sees you. We believe that material things in this world are of no matter! Yes, if you can provide a great living for your family and not have to rely on the government that is great. Is it Romney's fault that he has been successful in his life? No. He was given the smarts to know how to be successful in business. Next you are going to blame him for being white or being born a male. In our church, material things do not matter because you cannot take them with you when you die! It only matters how well you have followed the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you have endured to the end. Mayb e next time you decide to slam the church, you will have your facts straight. Thank you Dan from Illinois, Mitt is the right choice. To Charles, from Salt Lake...what an insult.

Most people are not purely libral or purely conservative. It is the thought from the parties that a candidate must be one or the other, and this is why the country can not be run by these people effectively. John McCain is one of the few that truly represents at least some cross section of this country, and I will vote for him if he gets the nomination. If a strict conservative gets the nomination, then I'm afraid I would have to vote for Oboma. If it's Hilliary on the other hand, maybe I just won't vote!

He has sided with major political liberal views. He has fought for the liberals. People keep sweeping things under the rug for him but then they attack any little thing they can get on the others. The political spinning is out of control. I want to have an America that I can be proud of and that my children will be proud of. We need to get back to family values and vote in the only Leader who has shown that he can make good things happen. He is a very successful leader who constantly gets backlash from the media because he uses a lot of his own money. I look up to him for that because it shows that he cares enough about the American people and he doesn't owe anyone a "special vote" for their donation later. Mitt Romney is the man to bring our country out of the mess it is in. McCain is definitely not the most conservative in this race. He has sided with major political liberal views.

Romney's victories are down played or not even mentioned by the liberally media, just look at Maine's results. They love McCain because he is left of center. Look at his record folks. Who does he join to forward a liberal agenda in the Senate? Why is it that so few Republican Senators are standing up for this hot heated left leaning democrat in a republican primary. Wake up folks and take a close look. If the huckster wasn't making back room deals with McCain he would pull out and let the votes fall where they belong, with Romney. Why have our party go through a purge after we suffer through a McCain mistake. Vote Romney now and tell McCain to go back home to the left.

If McCain is elected, he's going to grant amnesty to all us illegal aliens, and open the floodgates for another 20 million or so of our amigoes. The "conservatives can go down and take over what's left of Mexico, blow it up, clean house, and start over - which is what the most pathetic, corrupt, ignorant country in North America needs. Once they have that done, and put it on sound financial footing, and we've bled the new Socialist States of America dry, we can move back to Mexico (illegally, of course)!
