Loading ...Paul Weyrich, a godfather of the Christian conservative movement and former Romney supporter, apologized recently for not supporting Mike Huckabee’s presidential bid when it might have mattered. “Friends” he told a gathering of key Christian right activists “before all of you and before almighty God, I want to say I was wrong.”

It’s easy to say that now; Romney is unlikely to have any future in the Republican Party, while Huck will show up again somewhere running for something, and he could quite well win a Congressional seat or even a seat in the Senate, where he could help Weyrich. Something tells me that Bro. Mitt will go back into business and leave politics alone for awhile.

“…Romney is unlikely to have any future in the Republican Party…” Huh? Romney has spent the last few days campaigning with McCain,is the past governor of Massachusetts and you think he has no future in the GOP? Really can’t agree with you on that. I don’t really care if he does or not, but I can’t see how you can reach that conclusion, Caleb.
Romney is being talked about as a VP candidate in a lot of publications, and not just here in dreams of us Utahns either. That’s pretty far from “not having any future,” I would say.
With the economic issues this country is facing, it wouldn’t be such a bad decision for both McCain and Romney to put their differences aside and band together. I can’t see either Obama or Clinton sitting next to McCain and making the claim that they have more foreign policy experience, no matter how much Hillary claims she learned in her eight years as first lady; and certainly neither one of them, nor any VP candidate they choose, could sit next to Romney and say they understand the economy better than Bro. Mitt.
I’m not saying McCain has a chance, no matter whom he chooses, but Romney as VP would get people talking and he certainly is as good a choice as someone like Crist.

We don’t need a VP who believes that Jesus is Lucifer’s spirit-brother, and that God (a former mortal man) copulates with his goddess on the magical world of Kolab. IMO, that’s as much of an example of “bad judgment” as Obama making excuses for his Communist pastor’s ragings and rantings.

I’ve said since day one of this strange and embarrassing campaign season that ALL Christian conservatives ought to be supporting Mike Huckabee. He is the ONLY true conservative who is/was running. Now that he’s out of the contest, it’s amazing how many people have said they wish they had supported him. At least, though, God is still in control!

Governor Huckabee, was my second pick, I still think Ron Paul would make an excellent President, but evidentally, the rest of America don’t see that!

Jack,
I’m sorry you don’t understand the Bible, because it says very plainly from where Lucifer originates. But then again, I’ve read your blog and there’s a lot of things about the Bible you don’t understand; things like the pattern God set to teach his word throughout the history of the world. (That would be the use of prophets, by the way.)
Of course, your bigotry against the LDS Church blinds you to the fact that out of any serious candidate, Mitt Romney was by far the most qualified to change the economic downfalls happening to our nation. But hey, it’s most helpful to spout off about things like “copulat[ing]with….goddesses” because the ignorant usually resort to that course when speaking of things that they don’t have a real clue about.
(Sorry to everyone else that has been most gracious, even when we disagree on doctrinal issues, but sometimes it just ticks me off when someone like Jack has to resort to name calling and hey, I’m just not in a great mood this morning!
)

And, Jack, while Jeremiah Wright might not suit you politically, he’s hardly a Communist. Not every disaffected radical is a Communist, although the right wing seems determined to call them that. Your comment reminds me of what Lyndon Johnson said about the ultra-segregationist Senator James Eastland of Mississippi. He said “If there were a big flood on the Mississippi River and washed away half of his state, Jim Eastland would blame it on the niggers assisted by the Communists.” Fifty years of calling liberals Communists is enough. Even the people in Communist countries aren’t real Communists anymore, and you think Wright is? I doubt that he’s a socialist, much less a Communist. Get a new word; your group has worn this one out.
