No, the reason he or any republican nominee would pick Marco Rubio is because of his wisdom and statesmanship demonstrated here with John Kerry.......

Quite an astute observation. Very nicely done. I don't think conservative voters needed McCain's endorsement to clue them in on Romney lack of conservative credentials in any event.

I will still vote for Romney if he's the ultimate candidate, but he's is what he is, and conservative he's not.

As Bachmann so aptly said on her way out of the race: This election is our one chance to prevent our country's descent into socialism. Obama and his policies must be defeated for our country to endure.

It is so disconcerting to me to vote this way. I voted for McCain in 2008 only because I realized what our current President would do, AND realized he was simply a creation of the media, and now......I am going to vote primarily for the same reason again. We now have created a President who says HE KNOWS WHAT IS BEST and does not need congress. Now, I agree that congress is a mess but who in the world can set in the White House and be that arrogant.

We need a leader....quickly. Those who are on here touting his health care bill just have not done any investigation.....it is MORE financial disaster....it has so many little tentacles that reach out into everything....

RICHIE...another vote for sure for Romney

Google Obama / Birth Certificate and you will find thosands of......well, you take my point.

Actually, I don't "take" your point. What is it you are attempting to equate? Are you saying verifiable statements Romney has made is equivalent to the "bithers"?

Sorry, don't see the connection.

I am saying that there is as much evidence that President Obama was not born in the USA as there is that Mitt Romney has supported polygamy. That would be none. I did find that the LDS church opposed this practice in 1890.

Really?; Romney has endorsed polygamy? Where and when did he do this?

I really do not believe Romney ever endorsed polygamy. Only a few breakaway sects of Mormons do that and it is not recognized by the LDS church.

I am glad to see that no poster here has "attacked" Mitt Romney as not being a Christian because he is a Mormon. Even though it began as late as 1820 through a vision to a teenager in New York, it is a good religion that preaches Christian beliefs and encourages a great system of family and community responsibility.

Since 1978, they have been inclusive of black Mormons in their priesthoods.

I don't believe anyone here has claimed that Romney supports polygamy.

He did, however, say (hopefully jokingly) that "I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman ... and a woman ... and a woman" There is even a link to the quote and where and when he said it.

I would imagine you could even find excerpts of that 2005 speech on youtube, as well as the tape of the 2006 Imus show where he said it again.

s Romney's second run for President and I still don't know who he is and what he really stands for.

The repeatedly claim that because of his business acumen he would make a great president falls flat. It falls flat because the government does not work like a business.

the best candidate is the one that can gain enough of Congressmen and women's confidence to keep things moving forward.

We know that Obama is not that person. His recent grand standing stunts when making recess appointments may please some Dems. However, the Finacial Consumer Board is going to be Sarbanes Oxley on steroids. And the NLRB appointments will further create uncertainty for business.

Junior made 171 recess appointments.

Actually the likely VP candidate will be Chris Christie and one of the reasons he is campaigning for Romney....much to my chagrin

coralway: It is not the process of said recess appoitnments. apparently many presidents have done so. It is these two particular appointsment s because of their potential dangerous and devasting effect on our economy.

Sarbane Oxly has literally driven many Us business out of the country or closed them down. this new consumer Agency is Sarbanes on steroids.

Secondly the NLRB appointments were primarily union bias appointments. Get ready for the fall out. Finally the house claims they were not out owing to a technical ploy. It will be left or the courts to decide but by then this will all be old news. Obama's motives were a big push for his campaign and neither of the issues will help our economy.

The difference here is that Obama made these recess appointments while Congress was still "in session".

In 2007 after Pres. Bush made recess appointments that the Liberals hated they began to reconvene, if even for only 30 seconds, every 3 days to stop any further recess appointments as 3 days was the rule in place.

Now Obama has instituted unilaterally a new "nuclear option", if you will, and made recess appointments without adhering to the rules of Congress. I guess Congress can never stop running now for even a second. The Liberals won't like this when the President is no longer a Democrat. Will they like what they've sown?

This is the same thing that is happening with judges now. The Democrats pulled the "nuclear option" of filibustering judges so than G.W. Bush couldn't name any and now the Republicans are doing the same thing to them. Reaping what you sow. Is this any way to run a country?

We now have a President who is acting as a despot. Just beautiful, isn't it?

It will never happen. He has too much personality easily outshining Mitt. No way are two northern governors going to be on the ticket. And he needs to lose 200 lbs imho.
