Romney gets two more endorsements

Mitt Romney is only saying what he needs to say to be elected. He is artificial. Why can't people see through this. He's establishment.

He is out of touch with American people. Please stop listening to the lie that this is a two-man race. That started when Mike Huckabee was still 2nd in delegate count and the media made their choice for us. Vote while maintaining your integrity. A vote for Mike Huckabee is a vote for Mike Huckabee. He is electable. Let your vote count... don't cheapen your vote by giving it to a deceptive candidate who keeps changing his position. Vote for Mike Huckabee

So disappointed to see Rick Santorum endorse Romney. I have always voted for Rick here in PA and have always respected his opinion, until now. I had hoped one day he would run for president. I heard him on Fox talking about his disagreements with McCain but I am sorely disappointed to see him endorse a different but equally liberal candidate. I have always thought Rick's platform was pro-life but how can he support a man who has stated he would always fight for choice instead of fighting for the unborn. Very perplexing to me. Why did Rick not consider Huckabee who has always been pro-life? I know it's not the only issue, but it feels like a sell out to me! So sorry to hear it Rick.

It's about time the conservatives came out into the puboic eye pushed for Romney.

McCain is a LIBERAL WOLF wearing REPUBLICAN SHEEP'S clothing.
STOP MCCAIN
Save the Conservative Republican Party.

A vote for Huckabee is also a vote for McCain. Come on everybody rally around Romney. A Romney Santorum ticket!

Lori, I have pitty for your misunderstanding why Rick Santorum endorsed Mitt Romney. Perhaps it is you that is out of step with conservatism. Rick is a conservative. You are right about that. So is Romney for those that actually investigate. The media and co paint Romney as a bad person to discredit him. That in itself should be an indication that Romney is conservative. Afterall, didn't they try to discredit Santorum when he ran for re-election? Just common logic.

Opinions are free. You have yours and I have mine. Best of luck to us both.

Conservative leadership has waited till the end to step on the bandwagon of Romney. His conservative positions have not been endorsed as they should have from the beginning and that is why the liberal side of the party has pounced. I suggest conservatives research Romney at his website. And also, before he ran for office he was a religious leader who often had to counsel women and did counsel them NOT to have abortions. He has ALWAYS been pro-life. He has said that and yet when running he stated he accepted the state of Massachussetts laws which allow a woman to make the choice. What pro-life conservative does not respect the laws of our country? Huckabee has twisted that stance and mainly because he has a bias for a man of the Mormon faith still.

Who is Huckabee? Never heard of the guy. haha just kidding.
I think Huckabee has the right to stay in the race, but the truth is if you vote for the guy, you're throwing away your vote. He has no chance. He won in Iowa by scaring the people into thinking that Mormons were going to dominate the world. The rest of the country isn't buying it and Huckabee's numbers are dwindling. I think Huckabee should drop out of the race and we'll see where his supporters go. If he wants to be McCain's VP then let him drop out now and let McCain announce that Huckabee will be his VP.

At this point, a vote for Huckabee, is a vote for McCain. We need to rally around Romney so we can stop the McCain momentum. If we let McCain get the nomination, in 4 years, regular conservatives will become the "far right" in the GOP.

ROMNEY IS CONSERVATIVE. He is anti-abortion, pro-life, pro-family, scandal-free, and refuses to be "bought." That's why he has spent so much of his own money! That's why his successes have been ignored by the mainstream media and why they promote his opponents!!!

I'm wondering what McCain has promised to those who have endorsed him if he wins??? Only problem is that when Hillary or Barack bring up McCain's involvement in the "Keating Five" Savings and Loan scandal, we can all stick a fork in him because he will be done.

It's not just the Keating Five........add to it the fact that Cindy McCain wasn't prosecuted for stealing drugs from the non-profit organization.

We only have until Tuesday to stop McCain. Let's show the country that Republicans can get it done! Go, Mitt!

Thanks for a fair coments

A vote for McCain or Huckabee is a vote to satan, if you think thinks are terrible now, wait and see how much worse they will get with Mr.Mcamnesty running this Country. My vote is for Romney, I think he will be a good President. I can believe this people who are voting for McCain, are they blind or idiots, can they see what a liar and a traitor he is. I just hope that the American people makes the right choice this time, because they keep choosing the wrong person for President. And then they ask why we're in the mess we are in.

McCain's a disaster for the economy! In Wednesday's California debate, John McCain's response to questions about how he'd fix the economy was a joke!

He reverted back to his military service, not the economy. "Because I know how to lead,” he said. “I led the largest squadron in the United States Navy. And I did it out of patriotism, not for profit. And I can hire lots of managers, but leadership is a quality that people look for."

My question is this: How big is a Navy squadron? 10? 100? 1,000? I don’t know. But I suspect it wasn’t of “D-Day” proportions, as McCain would like us to think!

And were those squadron underlings able to express their own free will? Probably not. Our military is trained to “shoot and salute.” Trained to follow orders unquestioningly.

Contrast that with Mitt Romney’s leadership. In business, in the Olympics and in government, Mitt has led thousands and tens of thousands. More importantly, Romney’s world is filled with bright people who have minds of their own. Big egos and entrepreneurs know they won’t get “thrown in the brig” if they disagree or express contrary thoughts and wishes.

True leadership comes from winning over the minds and actions of followers, not barking orders to underlings who can’t object!

I don’t know the size of the "Navy’s largest squadron,” but I suspect it is pretty small in size. Not the kind of “D-Day” command McCain is trying to place in the minds of the voters.

Without disrespecting McCain’s military record or service, a few well placed questions might be in order:

“What was the size of that squadron?”
“Did members of the squadron have the ability to balk at your orders?”
“How does barking orders to a few duty-bound followers compare to the business world, filled with entrepreneurs and egos that are not obligated to “shoot and salute?”

I am a Vietnam veteran, myself. And I respect McCain’s military record. Regretfully, John, you are no Eisenhower. And on the subject of fixing the economy, your experience is zero.

I live in Arkansas and am very familiar with Huckabee's record. Aside from being pro-life, he's neither a true social nor economic conservative. If you doubt that, take the time to do a little research before Tuesday. The most apt description is a silver-tongued devil who excels with the homespun homilies. He is being courted by McCain to help siphon conservative votes away from Romney, but if McCain wins the nomination he'll likely kick Huckabee to the curb.

If you're a Huckabee supporter you would do well to consider that he has no chance of winning the nomination. Support him if you must, but I agree with the poster above who stated that a vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain. McCain will actually be in Little Rock next Tuesday, which is a little baffling on the surface since he's not really a contender in Arkansas. There is speculation that he will be here on Huckabee's behalf in some capacity.

If Mitt Romney loses this presidential race, we are going to experience a drastic change in this country--one of gloom and misery. There is no doubt about it. We must have someone who lived a decent life, knows what makes America strong economically, (and militarily, for that matter) become the next president of the United States. The stakes are too high. Mitt Romney knows why we must remain strong and resolute. There must be no turning back in our battle against a determined enemy. Our economy must remain strong to win, and Mitt Romney know the formula for keeping that way.

How awful it would be to have the state of the election get to the point that Hillary or Obama were able to prove McCain's true colors. With Romney there would be slim-pickins for attack. He's almost squeaky clean which seems pretty impossible these days, but so far they have had to scrape to find something to charge him with. There hasn't been a candidate running for President since Ronald Reagan who lives what he stands for like Mitt Romney. He has the kind of success in his portfolio that we need for this great nation to get back the leadership standing it once held in this world.

It's about time some people came out to endorse Romney. I'm sick to death of the Republican establishment trying to force feed us McCain. That goes for the BOSTON GLOBE. I am incrediby disappointed. And Paul Celucci and Swift coming out to endorse McCain, oh please. Mitt Romney had to clean up after their mess. Do you all remember how low Swifts approval rating was? Helicoptering to western MA and having aids babysit her kids? Are we supposed to look at these as credible endorsements. If it wasn't for Mitt, we would have had a Democrat sooner like Deval and his $10,000 drapes and $70,000 assistant for his wife, and his new Cadillac because the Crown Victoria wasn't good enough and the fact that he is factoring in Casinos into the budget that haven't been approved yet, never mind built.

How come nobody is saying that former Governor Weld is endorsing Mitt Romney? Weld was an awesome Governor. He just left a message (pretty sure it was recorded) at my house tonight.

I am a conservative and I completely understand Mitt's positions. I don't agree with him 100%, but on core economic and social values, I do. If his name is not on the ballot in November, I will be writing it in. I will not support McCain. He's a liar and a fraud as a conservative.

It's too bad McCain has to be so nasty with is political tactics in order to real attention on himself. He cannot be trusted. Besides, he is 71 years old and not in good health. With the average American male living to be 75, I would be concerned that his health due to age would not let him be as aggressive as he needs to be in American issues. The stress alone could take a toll on his health.

Romney is the guy we need for change in this country especially with his business background and willingness to spend his own money on his campaign. That alone tells you what kind of person he is; not selfish and pro-active. He is a family man and that is what we need.

Romney has stayed true to conservatives. Check out McCain's record.
He sleeps with the Dems and Libs. He also made snide remarks about Romney the rich. Pot calling the kettle black? He married into money, and yet he doesn't tell.
Romney is a true ,faithful and honorable man.
And yet, his voting record and stance on immigration leads to a democratic river flowing with favors.

Just because Romney or his microphone conservative friends like Hannity, Limbaugh etc, asserts he is conservative does not make it so:

pro-choice, then pro-life
anti reagan-bush, pro reagan-bush
for fees and taxes, against taxes
for health care mandate, against his own mandates
for states rights, against states rights
for immigration reform, now against it
for democratic judges and candidates, now against them

And on the biggest issue of the day, winning the war in Iraq, stood on the fence and took muddled positions. Romney is a flip flopper and a fence sitter. Yet he is a nice person, just not a conservative let alone a republican.

as a true conservative i will NEVER vote for McCain.

I find it extremely insulting that the media claims that McCain won over the republicans in Florida. McCain lied about Romney in an underhanded, cowardly attack. Romney would have easily won Florida. I will never forget that McCain is a lying snake.

McCain has NOT had more republican votes in any of the first 6 states. Romney had more republican votes in 4 out of the 6 states.

Our political system is terribly corrupt. I will not let the machine force the liberal, lying, back stabber McCain get a vote from this conservative.

McCain is retarted when it comes to the economy. Romney is a genius. Romney is the true conservative and has class and dignity McCain does not.

No. Mitt Romney is not fake. I know him personally. In fact, my wife has known him for more than 40 years. She has served as his housekeeper for over seven years. She would likely know his family more than most people would ever know them. Fortunately for Mitt, every story I have heard from her inspires us. There is nothing fake about Romney. The only thing fake is the medias' portrayal of him. If there is anything that is offensive it is being called a "flip-flopper." He is as open-minded a person as there is willing to reconsider his positions based on new information. Now, I am certain there are plenty of open minded people out there who will vote for him. If not, I only pray you will vote your conscience. I happen to know that Mitt is the type of person who has deep and abiding respect for every American, even those who choose not to vote for him.

Mitt Romney was quoted just a couple of weeks ago as saying that the American people would never elect someone President who championed the FairTax (referring to Huckabee) and that its implementation would send the US economy "into a tailspin". That view is at odds with virtually every economist who has studied the FT, a proposal which more comprehensively and effectively addresses the host of economic challenges that this nation faces than any alternative. I find it amusing that Gov Romney is calling himself a "change agent" and someone who recognizes that Washington is broken and is going there to fix it. How are he going to fix Washington while defending the most dysfunctional aspect of it?

I am an evangelical Christian who is voting for Mitt Romney. He is far more qualified in my opinion to run this country. I respect his right to worship as a mormon, and refuse to discriminate , based upon his religion. He is pro life, tough on immigration, and the only candidate I find to be believable. If Mc Cain does get the nomination, contrary to what the media says, I will not rally around the Republican nominee, I will stay home in November, let the democrats mess it up, and hopefully elect Romney in 4 years!
