Once you know their records you can tell in an instant when the truth is being avoided and when their pandering begins;

McCain is PATHETIC! he does not have a leg to stand on besides his" support for the surge" which we should emphasize the word "SUPPORT" he didn't come up with the plan .. he seems to be taking more credit than he deserves.

Why didn't McCain include in his mailer that he, (McCain) voted against tax cuts and he would continue to vote against the bush tax cuts?

"My friends, I will cut pork barrel spending" the only cutting we need is to cut McCain from the senate. How long has McCain been on the hill? and how much has change. NOTHING!

Go Romney!!

Romney is quick to take credit for things he didn't even support. Romney ran on a campaign of growth in Massachusetts, and yet job growth during the four years of his reign Massachusetts lost jobs. The man will say anything to get elected! Send the carpetbagger back to his home state of Utah, no Michigan, no New Hampshire, no Massachusetts.

I am a Democrat and I will vote for John McCain. If the Republicans want to retain the White House, it will be with the helping votes of Democrats like me who will vote for McCain.
If they nominate Romney, he will not attract Democrat votes and the Dems will sweep back into the White House.
A simple choice for Republicans, accept the best alternative or fall on your sword.

So stick by your principles and values, or give them up for a RINO (McCain)??? Pathetic argument, and just sad that people sell themselves to this.

Any democrat should be comfortable voting for McCain cos he IS ONE. He is also still in this race because of Democrat votes. The Dems are truly afraid of Romney's nomination because he articulate and offer a truly opposing mandate.

John McCain seems to be an honest, experienced and thoughtful person. I hope he does not misstep in the next few months. I am a Democrat but I WILL vote for him if he is on the ballet.

Governor Brylcreem - What a phony!
Romney can't be trusted and changes his mind about as much as people change their shorts. The reason why McCain is gaining traction is because he calls it the way he sees it - whether you like it or not.
In any event, it'll be Barack in '08. Most Americans in the silent majority are fed up with Republican warmongers who only line the pockets of the rich fatcats.

I'm from Massachusetts and Gov. Romney never raised taxes while he was Governor, never took a salary and took the candidacy from Mrs. Swift who was basically being fired as Governor (or close to it) and took on a budget that had been in the red for four years. Our state was about to declare bankrupcy when Romney took it over. He did his job, left it in the black, and got state wide health care for the poverty level people who didn't have insurance. (One of them being my daughter). Get the facts right. Dont listen to just any junk from the politicians. Find out for yourselves.

So let me get this straight...

John McCain is a Tax & Spend Democrat,

But Mitt Romney who signed the bill mandating Universal Healthcare in Massachusetts, supported state financing of embryonic stem cell research, and expanded state spending at twice the rate of inflation is a fiscal and social conservative?

Romney may be articulate, but all he is saying is whatever he thinks people want to hear.

McCain, the Manchurian Candidate, is the Democrats' best hope for winning the White House.

Mitt, please hang in there!!!

I just need to correct DP on "Home State of Utah". Childhood (18 yrs) in Michigan, Mission in France (2 yrs), School in Stanford, then Utah (prob 3 yrs in Utah), Grad School at Harvard, and then living in Massachusetts ever since (25+ years in Belmont, Mass) save for 3-years while running the Salt Lake Olympics, but during which time retaining his home in Belmont and visiting quite often. I know that because I know the man personally and saw him several times during that time. So, Massachusetts would most accurately be termed his home state, and Michigan the State of His Childhood.

Disagree with his politics all you want, but please don't attack him personally with false accusations. He really is a good man.

McCain is such a hypocrite. First Romney puts out comparative ads of their records, and then McCain says that they are "negative attack" ads. Then he turns around and does the same thing (but less accurate) and whines because Romney has more money to spend than he does. He didn't get Romney's record right as it was the courts who required the abortions to be included, not Romney.

No, no, we Dems are really afraid of Huckabee. Please, please don't nominate him -- he's the one we really fear.

Please, dear God, don't nominate Huckabee, whatever you do.

Theres nobody worth voting for in either party. Billie Mays here! Im a runnin.I will clean up the whole system in one swipe of my super clean up wipers. Send $9.99 and recieve another 2,000 super wipers free. Only available for the next ten seconds. I will throw in a 84 oldsmobile free. You tow.

MITT'S the best candidate for the presidency by far!

Don't listen to the national polls, they're too fluid.

Mitt's leading in most polls in Michigan!

Vote for MITT!

I find it fascinating that so many people in this great country are so uniformed, prejudiced and religiously bigoted. When you look for a person to be the President of the United States and leader of the free world, it goes beyond all the useless rhetoric that fills the media airwaves and the bickering that we see from the candidates and even people who leave comments on internet blogs. It is a matter of talent and real ability. Talent to lead a nation is made up of several characteristics which include: Proven leadership, perceptiveness, honesty, hard working, loyalty, knowledge, moral integrity, and faith. We need a leader who looks acts and IS capable and well qualified to lead us in the right direction. Someone we can call a friend to freedom, and prosperity for all Americans. We need someone who cares, and can lead us out of the problems we have got ourselves into. No one man or woman can do that. We elect a person to lead us there in an effort together. So, let’s really think this through and put the person who can do this in the White House. A person faithful to his beliefs, happily married to the same woman his whole adult life, a true family man with the strength and talent to get us there, Mitt Romney is it, and he stands alone.

Romney inherited a messed up Massachusetts. It had a $3 billion deficit. It was losing jobs. In 2 years on the job he turned the state from a $3 billion deficit to a $1 billion surplus and by the end of his term as governor he grew the state's rainy day fund to $2 billion. He cut over $1 billion in spending. He balanced the budget every year he was in office.

And by the time he left office the unemployment rate in Massachusetts was averaging more than a full percentage point lower than it was when he took office.

As for the health insurance package he signed into law. If you research Massachusetts you'll find out that the courts in Massachusetts have repeatedly mandated that any health coverage in Massachusetts has to cover abortion. Which then tells you something--he knows exactly how important it is to appoint judges who will not legislate from the bench.

Contrast this with McCain. McCain has been in Congress forever and ever. As such he's had the power of the purse for a very long time. And he's never shown a desire to do anything about government spending or the economy. Why is it that people believe he would use the bully pulpit of the Presidency to stop the insanity of government spending? What has he done to limit government? Not a whole lot. McCain has had years and years and years to lead out on these issues and he hasn't. Why should voters suddenly believe he will do so when his record shows otherwise?

And McCain's other fatal flaw? He has this overriding desire to cut losing deals with people like Feingold and Kennedy. And he refused to vote for tax cuts but now he'll keep them? He was for amnesty but now he's heard the people and will secure the border? The guy's opinions have changed dramatically since he started running for President. Why do people forget his clear record on these issues?

Romney for President.

To me Romney is the most intelligent candidate of all of the others running with him. If you will just listen to what he is saying, you will realize that he will work for the good of the people and the country.
I am sick and tired of all the rhetoric, people just seem biased, before they even here what he has to say and they tune him out..

HE HAS MY VOTE!

Anyone who truly seeks the truth will know which candiadates are speaking the truth....the record is there to examine. Those who have been in Washington have not made the changes for the good of ALL The people... we need new blood..new ideas...someone who has a winning record to make the difficult changes for success. Listen to Romney Look at his record of success. He has the faith values of the conservatives. Listen..read....pray....vote

The McCain flyer distorted the facts by taking them completely out of context. Raising service fees (if you get a particular government service not given to all, you pay for the service rather than making all taxpayers pay) is simple fairness. At the same time, Romney was able to achieve a balanced budget without the usual Democratic solution of just raising taxes enough to cover their spending.

Romney did not choose to have state funded medical care pay for abortions. The courts made him do it, the same way courts in California have ordered Catholic organizations to pay for abortions of employees.

Romney specifically vetoed proposals for funding stem cell research that involved creating human embryos as guinea pigs or sources of stem cells. People need to get their facts straight.

It is absolutely clear that liberals and Democrats hate Romney. They have no doubt that he is a conservative and a Republican. Any Republican voter who is voting in a primary should take note of that fact, rather than the mythology that his opponents have tried to put out around the totally false label of "flip flopper". Democrats hate the fact that Romney did not support embryonic stem cell research, nor gay marriage. Republicans can feel assured that Romeny's opposition to both was made clear in direct confrontation with liberals in Massachusetts when his decisions affected state policy, before he was running for president.

John McCain will be another Bush. Hot headed, impulsive and not thinging things through.

A vote for McCain will insure your kids will be speaking Spanish rather than English in 20 years and your strip malls will look like a border town.\\\

Arizona's population is 10 percent Hispanic, but the prisons are 20 percent.
John McCain wants toll increase this.

Here in Arizona fear the Mexican Mafia, the teen age gangs, the sex offenders and robbers. Not to mention those who drive without license, without safe vehicles, and without insurance.

John McCain thinks this not a problem.
The illnesses they distribute, such as MRSA, and TB

My comment was refused by this paper = stating I had posted too many times. It was the first time I ever posted. WOW!

A vote for McCain is like voted for Bush all over again. Hot headed, hard headed, my way or the highway, and will give amnesty to all the illegals

Carmen and belmontres, thanks for setting the record straight, I only wish that we had Mitt as a governor here in NJ where we are a governor and a few legislators away from bankruptcy, drowning in taxes and fees.

What's even more amazing about Romney is that he was elected to the governorship in Massachusetts in the first place...Even Teddy couldn't stop him there. How many governors are foregoing the salary as a standard of public service and will do so as president? The man is real. He is electable, and if you didn't notice, the stunned silence of the mainstream left-slung media is loud and clear...

"No, no, we Dems are really afraid of Huckabee. Please, please don't nominate him -- he's the one we really fear.

Please, dear God, don't nominate Huckabee, whatever you do."

Most republicans also fear Huckabee....

I think that perhaps this is one thing on which most democrats and republicans can agree; Huckabee would be a disaster for our country.

Being from Arizona I have seen the hyprocracy of John McCain for years. He has used very poor judgment in teeming up with the likes of Feingold and Kennedy. He now gives lip service to "securing the borders" because his and Kennedy's amnisty bill all but killed his campaign, but if you listen to him he has not changed one bit except for lip service. He says these are "Gods children" too. Yes, and so are the other 7 billion of them out there, 6.5 billion of whom would love to come to the United States and get on welfare, free medical care, free schools and all the bounties that working people here can provide for them. Are we going to take them all in and put them on a bankrupt social security system that has been robbed and plundered by John McCain and his cronies. Are we going to force the beleagered working people of this country to provide welfare, healthcare, and free schools for all 6.5 billion of "God's children?" Romney is the only one with a plan: send them back to their home countries and let them get in line to come here legally.
And, oh yes, don't forget to pay your taxes by April 15th because 20 million illegal alians are depending on you.
Can Romney fix the problems in Washington? Of course not, because John McCain and all his cronies will still be there and will make sure nothing good comes out of Washington. We are just like the corrupt dictators of the third world countries rampant with bribes, selling votes and peddling influence. Only here, we call it "campaign contributions." How can poor ordinary people get elected to office in Washington and become millionaires in 3 or 4 years? Hmm, I wonder.
Sending Romney to Washington will not fix anything, but at least, he is not one of the "good ole boys", at least not yet. He is a good, honest, moral person, with good business sense, so he is our best, and more than likely our only chance at survival. Lets be honest, we are on a sinking ship. Put your head in the sand if you want to, but it is going down. We are under attack from all sides. The failing dollar, illegal immegration, terrorism, corruption in Washington, and on and on. Can Romney fix it all? Not likely, but he is our best chance for survival.

Now who's putting out the negative ads? It's bad for Romney if he does it but okay for McCain to do it. What a hypocrite. McCain is just a small little man.
