Romney just put a fork in himself. Supports the assult weapons ban. Just what’s an assult weapon Mit?

[Gelato]

Gilmore has a lot of nerve to condemn a "liberal" position on abortion, when he actually supports most abortions that take place, those in the first trimester.

(And he takes credit for "Rudy McRomney," which I think originated from FR.)

[RasterMaster]

ROFL!

[Hoosiersailor]

Whats the Reagan count going to be tonight?

[kcar]

Politically that is.

[Vision]

Yes

[calcowgirl]

I want to...but, I just don’t like Rudy and I don’t see him as Presidential.

I used to like him... but didn't see him as presidential material.

After watching him twist, turn, lie, and obfuscate, the past few months, I can't stand him... and don't see him as presidential material.

[Jet Jaguar]

Just say no to Brady bunch Republicans.

[James W. Fannin]

Romney is really a piece of work.

[Tree of Liberty]

As far as a Jewish President, it depends on the field. If there were a Christian running, who is also a solid conservative, I would vote for the Christian. If there were those who called themselves Christian, but were politically liberal, they would, in effect, be "CINO's". In that event, I would vote for the Jewish man.

Mormonism does start with a belief in Christ, which I also think Romney adheres to, but then puts words in His mouth that I don't believe He uttered. That Romney would receive counsel from that group's leaders, who do not put forth the Truth, give me great pause. Judaism is different in that it is the Truth, without which there would be no Christianity to be its culmination.

Why? You want to carry an assault weapon?

Yeah...

[jveritas]

Correct and it is very unfortunate.

[NordP]

Hubby (retired ex-cop and NRA member) says, THANK YOU!

[conservativefromGa]

I will not vote for Mitt because of his bs “assault weapons” stance

[The Pack Knight]

Early impression... everyone looks better than last time but Brownback. You could hear the groans when he mentioned ethanol from Iowa.

[jmc813]

Why? You want to carry an assault weapon?

Is there something wrong with that?

[LibertarianInExile]

Huckabee and this ‘pulling us together’ crap is making me bored. He can’t use anything but buzzwords and canned lines...snore.

[Jake The Goose]

Come on FOX - we’re at war.

Get back to the WOT.

[mysterio]

I think it’s about 8 so far. Anyone keeping stats?

[GOPyouth]

However, if I had two candidates...Candidate A: Pro-choice, and strong stance on Terrorism....and Candidate B: Pro-Life and cut and run, I would choose Candidate A in a heart beat.
