Romney goes after McCain in new ad

There is one week before the Iowa Caucaus. I would make a suggestion that anyone that loves to read would get a copy of "The Great Upheaval: America and the Birth of the Modern World, 1788-1800 by Jay Winik" and review the course of America. I am in awe at how in sink Mitt Romney is with the Founding Fathers of this nation. I am amazed that he has been attacked in many similar ways that they were. Mitt Romney is one of those rare and genuine finds and Americans need to review their history to find leaders like Washington, Adams, Jefferson, & Lincoln. Mitt Romney is such a leader.

Wendy,

That is a very good book, however your reading of Romney as a great American leader in the Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln models is sadly misinformed. What these people had was a willingness to compromise certain beliefs to keep the union together.
What Romney has is the ability to change positions for political expediency. His numerous position changes are NOT noble and ARE transparent which is why he is sinking like a stone in the polls. Your argument however, fits McCain perfectly as he has endured attacks for compromising when he is convinced he is acting in the best interest of our country, such as calling for more troops since 2002 when he knew it cost him votes. McCain can be the change we need, not the change Romney thinks he needs to win a particular state’s primary.

Romney's ad was a legitimate compare and contrast ad. I love how McCain spins it as a negative attack ad-which it clearly was not. McCain simply does not want people to know the truth about his record, and instead of responding to the ad, he takes the Hillary Clinton approach to politics of making personal attacks and relying on overblown and overused stereotypes.

I won't be voting for McCain because he simply does not have the executive experience to run the largest enterprise in the world. My vote is with Mitt Romney.

Again, how do justify that Romney is not attacking John McCain in this ad? He mentions him by name more than he mentions his own name, and devotes 25 seconds of 30 second ad to McCain. McCain however doesn't even mention Romney in his ad once, again taking the high road.

It is still a legitimate ad and McCain has not run from his record, but is proud of it. Why does Romney feel the need to run from his record giving all kinds of excuses as to why his position changed? The answer is obvious if you look at the polls of Iowa votes and NH voters. He says exactly what is needed for today's election. All at the expense of his credibility. That's why Huckabee will beat him in Iowa and McCain will beat him inNH.

I was a big supporter of John McCain in the past. I have shaken his hand on many occassions and I loved his Maverick style in the senate. It has bothered me how he has jumped on the media's spin of Mitt Romney and reinforced the flip flop label that Romney has been branded with. It is very politicianesque to take cheap shots when they are not needed. Romney, at least, has nice things to say about John McCain prior to contrasting their records. He does not throw out childish shots at John McCain. Even though I still admire McCain on many fronts, the snyde comments are a major turn off. As a conservative, my vote is with Mitt , Ron Paul, or Thompson.

John McCain has three very important qualities that Mitt Romney does not: honesty, integrity and accountibility.

Mitt Romney has not said anything yet in his campaigning that is honest, shows integrity or takes any kind of accountibility.

He says he fixed the MA health care system....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

I work in health care, and the new "system" is a complete disaster!!! Not to mention unconstitutional! He recently backed away from it saying that it was mostly the pressure from the other insiders in MA who were going to do it anyways when he left, so he had to find a reasonable solution. That was after he took complete credit for it...and now he's owning up to it again???

He's going to bring CHANGE??? Mitt Romney is politics as usual. He's already lied to us hundreds of times thinking that we can't see past his Presidential exterior.

"I'm Mitt Romney and I will fight to maintain the sanctity of marriage"
Oh...is that why Massachusetts became the first state to legalize gay marriage during your term in office, and why when campaigning for Governor, you said that you would be more supportive of gay rights than Senator Kennedy?

"I'm Mitt Romney and I would like to see Roe v. Wade get overturned"
Oh...is that why you received money and endorsements from pro-abortion groups who helped you get elected as Governor because you were so supportive of a woman's right to choose?

"I'm Mitt Romney and I saw my father march with Martin Luther King"
No you didn't.

"I'm Mitt Romney and I balanced the MA budget"
No you didn't.

"I'm Mitt Romney and I turned the state of MA around."
Is that why MA has to resort to casino gambling in order to make enough revenue to fix our streets and pay for programs that already had to be cut when you left office? Is that why MA tolls are being raised in Jan. so that we have enough money to repair the bridges and fund the disasterous Big Dig?

You can't believe anything this man says, so when you vote for him...you're voting for nothing.

And then he has the nerve to criticize a real man of truth, integrity and heroism.

He's ready to lose the Presidential bid...and you can bet you're money that no one is going to want him as a VP!!!

Bye bye Mitt.

The TV ad doesn't change my mind. John McCain still looks better than Romney, or any other candidate out there from either party.

I trust him, and will vote for him on that basis.

McCain's insolence is his persistence to call things what they are not.

In this case "immigration" at least as how it relates to Mexico and those [CAFTA] nations following Mexico's lead:

The exportation of Mexico's so-called immigrants were both instructed and coerced by Mexico's central government.

As early as 1981, nearly simultaneous with Ronald Reagan's agreeing, in Cancun, with Miguel de la Madrid for Mexico to export its surplus population (Mexico could no longer feed itself) to the U.S. in exchange for the U.S. rebuilding Mexico's agricultural infrastructure (the imposition of U.S. agribusinesses), the Mexican Government mandated its version of the so-called ESL course "Follow Me to America."

The course taught not only the remitting of U.S. dollars "captured" (for the dole-outs in Mexico of pesos) and even the sacking of U.S. schools, clinics, hospitals, etc, but also the attaining of U.S. citizenships and, once attained, the vigilance required by "Mexicans Abroad" of the bulletins of the Mexican Consulates and their approved list of proxy organizations on just who and what in U.S elections to vote for.

After the signing of NAFTA, the Mexican government drastically reformed it own laws, in 1996, to recognize dual citizenship of its nationals with the U.S.(only).

Such votes are intended by Mexican government to be owned by Mexican government. The ownership is easily enforced given Mexican government's also requiring the application for Mexico's---second---Matricular ID of its nationals, as instructed, arriving stateside and to the Mexican consulates.

Until such information as the applications require for the---second---Matricular ID, the Mexican Government itself does not know of their being stateside much less, and more importantly to them, just where the so-called immigrants extended families reside in Mexico, where their land deeds are, pension funds, school enrollments, clinical qualifications, etc. and even utilities accounts.

All subject to the historic extortion of Mexican government (known in Mexico as "irregularities").

In reality, even "Path to Citizenship" is nothing more than "Path to Dual U.S. Citizenship of Mexico."
