And there’s nothing in the Constitution about being born in the continental US, if you’re implying he was born in Hawaii or Alaska. Even if he was born on foreign soil to US Citizens, he’d still be natural-born, I’d imagine.

Ahhh….

I will say for Mitt, though, that he’s an intelligent guy and at least he’s got that going for him. If we’re going to have a Republican-led country at least make it one headed up with someone who knows how to piece together a solid sentence.

I don’t feel that his religion should be such a big deal; I personally think that anyone who subscribes to a religion that someone else came up with is copping out on one of life’s main goals, which is to explore your own personal beliefs and morals and develop spirituality on your own terms rather than through a heavily edited and branded Bible, but that’s simply my opinion.

It’s pretty clear in the Constitution that religion should play no part in Government. I heard one time that this country was founded on immigrants who were looking for religious freedom. In that way I see the Republican party as incredibly un-American and absolutely unpatriotic. But at least 51% of America practices enough ignorance to ignore these facts so I suppose I’m outnumbered.

Huckabee will beat Romney. The Evangelical right doesn’t even like him, mostly because he’s mormon, and secondly because he was border-line pro-choice as governor.

Please read up, everyone. This election is important to not f*** up, as Colbert would say, so it’s best we know what’s going on…

And no hard-feelings Nathan. Nothing targeted at you, just the kinds of people I described in my reply. If you don’t consider yourself one of them, then that’s great!

I am sorry to say but in your words - “Mitt Romney seems to be the biggest threat to this country during the next Presidential race.” - I see another sad confirmation Romney is the next President.

Why? He is the best choice for the Christian Right (they would simple have to swallow his Mormonisam unless they would have to put up with Rudy or Hillary / Obama) unless a miracle of biblical proportions happens and Bush’s ghoulish propaganda machinery does not destroy Mike Hackubee before he become a formidable opponent.

More on my blog. I should say God help us all, but it seems this God is theirs. Like everything else in this country.

I searched Google for intelligence, as your link purports to ask me to do, but I didn’t see your name come up, Tyler. Better luck next time.

I’m not outright and against Mitt Romney because of his stance on abortion, but because of the statement he’s making, which is basically: I want an America where the majority of people want to ban abortion, so let’s overturn Rowe v. Wade.

It’s ludicrous, he’s basically saying that since the majority of America (and I certainly agree that is debatable) doesn’t support making abortion illegal, the only recourse those who do support making it illegal have is to defeat the law on a national basis and hope that individual states work in their favor.

It’s a bit like asking mom for a cookie and when she says no, going and asking dad (if your dad was 50 people and mom was the word for all of them combined, I suppose.)

Nevertheless, Mitt believes it should be a state issue, not a national issue, but of course what he is saying is that if the nation ever got to the point where an amendment could pass, if the American people were that unanimous about it, why would we not do it?

My point is that he is not what’s wrong with America. You are what’s wrong with America. I find it comical decisions and opinions are made on a candidates’ stances on abortion, gay sex, terrorism, and religion.

Please, write a post that details why Romney’s policies on education, foreign policy, the widening gap between super-rich and middle-class, immigration, big businesses running the government, and then I’ll consider your thoughts on something.

Until then, please continue to fulfill the perpetuating, polarized stereotype of the left or right labeling candidates as heroes or villains based on their views about irrelevant topics.

and i disagree with him about abortion for what it’s worth.

but my concern about the border is less about immigration (if you want them all to come that’s fine, just make it easier for them to come legally so it’s fair for everyone) and more about the violence on the border and the drug trafficking and the way that the mexican military is escorting the drug traffickers and other illegals and how the sheriffs down there are forced to wage war against the mexican military in some cases and in most against ex-mexican american-funded-trained military who are now hired and these people are invading our country and the ranch owners down there are fighting them for marching through their property and a large group of sheriffs have been to the government asking for help mulitiple times. and the thing that bothers me is that i never hear about that.

until i saw a little thing on that recently and so i only know what iheard there. but this seems interesting.
