I lump him into the the same category as Al Gore and John Edwards. JM sez:”I even know a lot of Democrats who will vote for him, given his strong knowledge of economic issues”

Morris Hurd, Steve Scheffler, David Kochel and Gentry Collins all have something in common. And it isn't that they all believe in God. You figure it out.

I don't know how we would know that, given that he has said he won't decide whether to run until sometime after Election 2010. I do not think Romney is counting on winning Iowa. Maybe, maybe not. Coming in #2 would be respectable, given that he is very likely to win New Hampshire days later. I think the most recent numbers I saw have him at over 50% of the vote with several competitors. Romney doesn't need to win all of the Right. He just needs to speak to Independents better than his competitors, and guess what? He used to be one. I even know a lot of Democrats who will vote for him, given his strong knowledge of economic issues. Can we say this for Palin, Huckabee? I like Palin, but being able to see 7-Eleven from her doorstep does not make her an expert on the economy. God bless Mitt = God bless America.

Here is what Huckabee says in your link, "then they’re going to end up forcing government to take action, which is the worst thing that could happen and it only exacerbates a problem rather than actually solves it." Yep, you proved it. That sounds like to me that Huckabee is on board with the government regulating CEO pay. Like I said, you are just spewing talking points. Your head is still up your ass.

Romney .... skip the Iowa Caucuses and the entire election. And take Huckabee with you, and really anyone else from 2008 that ran. Time for someone with fiscal conservative governing experience and stick-to-itiveness to get us out of this fiscal nightmare. We aren't going to be able to pay for anything -- defense, Social Security, health care, roads, anything! -- unless things are changed soon. Otherwise I think we better all take the last few dollars we have (whatever they may be worth) and invset them in the Chinese version of Rosetta Stone.

I don't really like the fees either. I agree with you. When he first walked into office he was confronted with a massive deficit. It may have been the only way he knew how to balance the budget. He didn't only do that; he fired a ton of bureaucrats as well (one good thing). By the way, I’m not defending Romney on this one. Now, regarding his health care plan. While yes, he should get bashed for that, I don’t think he actually thought it would turn out the way that it has. He definitely did not intend for it to have the results that it has had. Failed experiment. I am sure if he could go back and do it over again, he would. Also, it’s not like he did that when he first entered office. He fixed the financial woes of the state first, and then attempted to solve that problem. I doubt he would attempt to do that at the federal level, given the current situation we are in now. That being said, he should still be held accountable for the failure. I still trust him more than Huckabee in regards to economic issues. Scott M:

That's why he raised taxes (yes, fees are taxes) by hundreds of millions of dollars in Mass.? That's why he instituted socialized medicine in Mass. which is bankrupting the state? If that's fiscally conservative, we're all in trouble. Thinker:
