Romney Gaining Momentum!!!

[Col Forbin]

I can't argue with you on this one, Rich, and that bugs me (lol). I am pulling for McCain to get the nod from the repulicans. Mitt Romney scares me, not as much as Huckabee - I won't even open that can of worms. I don't even think Huckabee will have much affect on the the outcome of tomorrow - but who knows, everyone said the same about Nader 8 years ago.

I was just watching some past Mitt Videos - it seems he has really changed a great deal of his views to fit with the ultra-conservative views. I watched his 94 debate - and I think calling him a moderate is stretching it a bit - his views then were very liberal. He defended his liberal views as recent as 5 years ago. I just don't see how someone's personal views can change that much in a short period of time - then again he is a politician by profession.

Big day tomorrow, for us all. I am eager to see how it turns out for both sides of the fence. I will have all day to watch it unfold - off work, and boat is in the shop.

After watching all this stuff, I've about decided that both parties have an agreement to take turns in the white house. It's like the Washington elites decides who gets covered on TV and everything. They won't even let the outsiders talk. All questions are directed to the insiders. I think half the country doesn't have the mental capability to study the issues and decide what's best for our country. They just sit around watching TV and follow the herd. Ron Paul is the only one I heard that had true conservative ideas. Bush screws up so bad, it will take years for the right to recover and with the left opening the borders and giving everything away, I don't think our country has many years left. I'm really worried about our children.

""Ron Paul is the only one I heard that had true conservative ideas""
I think his downfall was being too radical. If he could have toned it down just a notch it would have been more receptive to masses. I liked what I heard from him but I knew it couldn't be done the way he stated it. Abolish the IRS? Close down the Military posts overseas? Sounds good but how in the world could that be done? It would take more years than he has left.....He definatly had a following that's for sure!

I agree with you DJ about him being radical and he's not the best communicator. I guess I'm a little radical too. From the shape our country is in, it will take some radical stuff to save it.
