It’s interesting. It is a piece of information.

Hearing about Kerry going to the front of a ticket line and bellowing “Don’t you know who I am?” when heckled was interesting.

Hearing how Hillary, Bill and Algore treated the Secret Service and military people around them was interesting.

Hearing how John Edwards keeps people waiting in the summer heat is interesting.

Enough to base a decision in? No, but it has credibility and it has a little bit of weight with me.

OK – so Mitt likes Ted. Fine. Both of you please stay in Massachsetts and leave the other 49 states alone.

The above are dripping loves notes from a Rawmoney sycophant. I’m not impressed.

I’d be happy with either Fred or Mitt, and I wouldn’t really swallow too hard to vote for Rudy. I can’t stand McCain or Huckebee, and Ron Paul’s not even in the running, except for entertainment. The only candidate in the race that admits he made mistakes in the past — and got over it, which is more than some of you can say — is Mitt Romney. If he’s right now, that’s all that matters unless you can show a pattern of deception, and you just can’t.

One thing I am getting sick and tired of seeing is politicians who are the sons and daughters of politicians. It is getting to be a real regular thing and bordering on being an “elite” group. And when they need to there is not one of them who will not use daddy’s name when necessary to help get themselves elected.

Doesn’t anyone want to compare records of manifest accomplishments, or have we all just become a nation of entertainment wonks buying opportunistic rhetoric as reliable fact?

Incidentally, I voted for Fred Thompson.

I’m not voting for a “nice guy” either. Just before going out to vote today here in Michigan, I caught Romney in other of his lies. He claims to have been a hunter all of his life, when he doesn’t even own a gun. Earlier, a prominently aired TV ad in which Romney claimed he was pro-life throughout his tenure as Massachusetts governor particularly ticked me off. I won’t vote for this man under any circumstances.

I’m not voting for a fishing buddy, I’m voting for the President of the US.

Flip Flopney’s record on abortion, judicial appointees, health care, the 2nd Amendment, Gorebal Warming, taxes etc. STINKS!

If Hillary was nice and chummy that wouldn’t be enough for me to vote for her either.

I see Romney as slightly increasing the angle of the Republican slouch toward socialism that Bush and the 107th and 108th Congress restarted. Even that is better than what Rudy McCabee represent; all-out collapses of various portions of the conservative coalition into the abyss.

That acknowledgement out of the way, I might not be a spring chicken anymore, but that level of slouching is going to result in two socialist parties well within my lifetime, and I’m not nearly ready to accept that.

Michelle, everyone is entitled to be enthusiastic about their candidate of choice. No need to offer an apology with the “I know, I know” part.;-) This is your place in the internet – what better place to express your enthusiasm?

I do of course, disagree with Romney as a first choice (Ronmey would be my second choice). Re that, let’s have some fun on the board with a variation of a question I’ve posted elsewhere, but one that so far has not had a direct response.

Rudy’s my first choice. We know what Rudy accomplished: Managed the 3rd largest economy in the US, and in so doing lowered taxes enormously while turning an inherited deficit into a surplus and transformed the worst urban blight into prosperity. Took on the mafia in strongholds and mostly won despite death threats of a very serious nature, removed porno and street crazies legally despite the endless vilification for the acts from the MSM and of course led the city out of the 9/11 aftermath (I feel, brilliantly).

Those are among his manifest, tangible accomplishments. I’ve asked people to drop the rhetoric of the candidate of their choice and stack that person’s record of manifest, tangible accomplishment against that of Rudy’s. It’s a good game but needs to be played fairly. That means straight and direct answers only to the question as put forward, with no links to negative propoganda at anti-this or anti-that sites. Just straight-up answers on the positive – meaning pro-active – merits.

It’s a good game – and important; talk for politicians is cheap and we’ve been lied to before. Let’s see what they’ve done in the executive capacities of their jobs relevent to the Presidency (that by definition removes most senators from the contest but hey, anyone can play).

Any takers?

I would really like to hear about his “Top Values that lie elsewhere”. I still like Romney and often wonder where he really stands on some issues. I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the link doc. Hunter is #1 in my book, then Fred with Romney in third. He is gaining traction. Hunter ‘08
