We live in such a great country and it needs to be saved from the left it has a chance with Mitt at the helm I pray that happens.
I believe Mitt can, if he will be true to his current compaign (and I believe he will or I would never lend him my support). More and more people are coming to the same conclusion and I am hoping for that to be evident in tomorrow’s returns...I am petitioning and praying to God in Heaven that it might be so.
I can’t do McCain. Still not sure I can Myth either...
Understood...and I had a difficult time coming to it. Would much rather have seen Hunter or Thompson. But others I know, and my own research and deep thoughts on the matter have led me to conclude that I can trust Mitt on his current positions and that those positions represent a much better choice than any of the other GOP candidates, and much better than either of the democrats.
Jeff, I find I am with you on this, while a small part of me would like to see McCain scare the crap out of the rest of the world I cannot accept a person who was held under communist indoctrination for four YEARS as having any leading position in our government, much less as our President.
There for I will cast my vote here in Ga. for Mr.Romney.
If McCain is the choice of my party I will vote for him but
I will be surprised if he does not cause more calamity than
expected.
Those who say they will not vote ARE voting for Obama/Clinton, make no mistake about it.
Thank you my FRiend. McCain’s efforts in terms of Amnesty, Campaign Finance, Tax cuts, Global warming, and Gitmo...not to mention the way he treated families of POWS and vets during the hearings for Vietnam normalization pushed me way over that same edge. Romney has my support now...and I believe his support base is growing and that he has the best chance to 1st stop McCain, and then, 2nd, to defeat the democrats.
FYI...please forgive any duplicates from early pings and discussions. This is to my entire ping list.
Nice to “bump” into you, been a while. Hope all of yours are well.
Might need to discuss Idaho some, retirement kicks in this fall...
I am still undecided Jeff with the exception of McStain........with all due respect his military service. His amnesty efforts sealed my decision to never vote for him.
Never......
GOP do ya read that !
This life long conservative will NOT vote for McStain.
Stay Safe Jeff !
Jeff, you're stepping over the line!
Mike Huckabee picked up a glowing character endorsement today.
From CBS Evening News, Feb. 4, 2008.
“Mike Huckabee has been subjected to the millions of dollars of attack ads by Mitt Romney.....I think He’s a very good and decent man and I admire him. And I admire his humor and I think he’s elevated the entire presidential debate and campaign.”
That was the answer given when Katie Couric asked what the shortcomings of Huckabee were. The answer was quite the contrast to the same question about Mitt Romney. And who was giving this praise to Huck?
JOHN McCAIN! He went on to attack Romney with the usual unqualified sound bites and insulted Rick Santorum as a ‘defeated candidate’ who had no right to question his temper.
LISTEN HERE!

In 1967, then-California Gov. Reagan signed a liberal abortion law legalizing the procedure in cases where a woman’s mental as well as physical health was at risk.
The number of abortions in California soared after the bill was passed, and Reagan came to regret singing it, the Times reported. By the time he ran for president in 1980, Reagan had declared his support for a constitutional amendment prohibiting all abortions except to save the life of a woman.
Once more,
