I watched the CNN Reagan Library debate with an open mind, took notes, rated their responses and at one point, in a fit of rage, scratched "F___ NO!" across the McCain column.

We all owe him a debt of gratitude for his service to our country, but he's unfit to serve as President.

He has open contempt for business and capitalism in general.

He doesn't seem to understand economic issues at all.

He's proud of Justice O'Connor and made a point of not mentioning Justices Scalia or Thomas in the list of models for his nomination.

He openly and forcefully keeps repeating a lie about Romney's time table quote in a way that is simply not supportable by the facts or an objective mind.

He would, like Al Gore, attempt to cool the planet with your money! (for those of you who don't know, CO2 follows warming and is not a major contributor to global warming. The sun is the cause of cyclical warming.

Mitt Romney is by far the most conservative candidate and the candidate closest to Ronald Reagan in temperament, background and philosophy. He is also the most qualified.

Hackabee is almost conservative and a really nice guy, but at this point he's pealing off the conservatives Mitt needs to beat McCain. If he stays in the race through Tuesday's primaries, he could hand us the most liberal and unstable Republican candidate in memory.

I am one republican member of the conservative base that will have a very tough time putting his name in my yard or on my bumper. I would, of course, be forced to vote for him in the general if he wins the primary.

“Mitt Romney is by far the most conservative candidate and the candidate closest to Ronald Reagan in temperament, background and philosophy. He is also the most qualified.”

First of all, Mitt Romney is no conservative and seems to shift his positions like the wind blows.

Recently Romney said he didn’t “line up with the NRA.” But when he decided to run for president, Romney signed up for a lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association.

I’ve been a Life NRA Member for years.

What disappoints me the most about Mitt Romney is he appears to be a slick opportunist. To become a Life NRA Member when you decide to run for President, for the sake of pure political expediency is quite frankly disgusting.

This shifting of political positions (gay marriage, guns, murder through abortion) demonstrates a foundation of quicksand instead of solid bedrock. This is by a man now in his 60’s, not some kid in their early 20’s. We don’t need a President who is trying to decide which side of major moral issues are right and just - the Holy Bible provides a sure foundation on moral issues that is solid and never to be compromised.

I’m not a McCain supporter (Fred was my guy), but will not vote for Mr. Romney.
