McCain warned against naming Romney

More than 20 social-conservative leaders purchased a full-page ad in an Arizona paper warning Sen. John McCain against picking Mitt Romney as his running mate, calling the former Massachusetts governor a "deal breaker" and an "utterly unacceptable" choice for social conservatives.

The open letter to Mr. McCain, which focuses on Mr. Romney's record on abortion and gay marriage and calls him "unfit to be a 'heartbeat away' " from the presidency, runs in tomorrow's editions of the Prescott Daily Courier. It's dominated by block type words "No Mitt."

The ad is timed to coincide with a McCain rally tomorrow on the courthouse steps in Prescott, Ariz., where Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona announced his 1964 presidential bid.

"For us the bottom line is this," the ad states. "The unvarnished facts of Mitt Romney's record as governor of Massachusetts make him utterly unacceptable as a Vice Presidential running mate. A very large (and growing) number of social conservative voters who have become aware of that record are likely to abandon a GOP presidential ticket on which Romney's name appears."

Carol is taking quite the high road, but essentially confirms the adultery by McCain in that statement.

Ross Perot has personal experience in this situation and knows the players intimately. Perot is eccentric, but he knows far more about Carol and John McCain than you and I will ever know.

IF McCain would add Mitt as his VP, then I would consider voting for McCain. As it stands now, no way in hell will I vote for a scoundrel like McCain. I can’t hold my nose any longer and vote for a DEMONCRAT posing as a Republican.

I hear you. The reason is that he is a Mormon, and the fear that many of us have is that many prominent Republicans are secretly anti-Mormon and opposing Romney under the guise that he is a flip-flopper on gay rights, abortion, and gun rights, when it is simple religious bigotry that informs their opinions.

Bingo.

Ah, the usual lies about Mitt. It’s too bad people didn’t do their research on the Huckster. He’s a socialist that preaches HUMANISM as his religions weapon. They couldn’t even tell the difference between socialism and Christianity. I simply don’t find this outright HATRED for another human being to be very “Christian”. It’s over the top! If you don’t like Mitt, then don’t vote for him - there is no need to smear him with this juvenile hate. It is Huck supporters that show the bigoted and hypocritical side of Christianity that turns people off. There is much truth to those that label Christians as “easily lead and dumbed down”.

Nervous breackdown or liberal trolling?
Clinton or Obama will drive USA downward for a while with “Social security”/Health care,immigration and international fake appeasement for rabid fanatics who don’t want any appeasement.
When you’ll look like EU you will be owned for a while....

McCain is the less bad or,in other words, better.That’s clear and simple.Apocalypse now anyone?
