2008 Candidates Travel: Mitt Romney Shops For Your Votes

December 5, 2007 at 3:30 PM | 1 Comment

Visit our Candidates Travel Map to know who to believe--by which we mean us, of course!

Earlier this year, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney conducted a tour of Iowa under the slogan "Ask Mitt Anything". But the question he'll address in his speech tomorrow is one people have been asking since Romney threw his hat in the ring: How would his Mormon beliefs affect a Romney presidency?

Mitt hasn't exactly hidden his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; he served his Mormon mission in France, graduated from BYU and lived in Utah while he was running the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. And to be fair, many of the same questions which are being asked of Romney were brought up in 2000 when Senator Joe Lieberman became the first Jewish vice-presidential candidate for President--and, heck, in 1960, when John F. Kennedy became the first Catholic candidate for President.

Still, we're interested to see what Romney says when he speaks on "Faith in America" at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, Texas tomorrow. After that, it's off to Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (where Romney grew up) and the Republican presidential debate at the University of Miami this weekend.

Let's hope Romney supporters in Iowa still believe in his campaign, as he's currently neck and neck with Arkansas former governor Mike Huckabee. According to the guy behind us at New York's Atlantic Theater Company last week, though, Romney has it in the bag. Thanks for the tip, random prognosticator!

    Romney the FlipFlop

    Mr. Romney WANTS to talk about religion - it's something that will keep the inconvenient facts of his RECORD from showing up. There isn't a major issue he HASN'T changed his position on. Remember, he ran in Massachusetts and got elected for what he sais he believed in. Then, he just jams a sharp stick up all the people that voted for him by showing he's completely different than he said he was. He doesn't really have any thoughts or platform of his own - he's just a sock puppet who floats any way the wind blows. Don't get me wrong - he LOOKS fabulous! Really beautiful guy, got a great smile - and tall as all get out. My candidate just kinda looks like an old bantam rooster - that's funny 'cause it's so true. Dr. Ron Paul has been fighting the good fight for 20 years now in Congress. You all hear about him as Dr. No, but do you know he authors at least 10 pieces of legislation a year to REDUCE the federal government's power to those enumerated in the Constitution? Sometimes bills, but sometimes Constitutional Amendments too. He believes that if we need to do something that's not in the Constitution we should amend it to allow us to do so LEGALLY. You'll note this post WON'T be followed by one showing all his flip-flops... because there aren't any. I KNOW you've seen us all posting about him - why not take half an hour and see what the buzz is about at www.RonPaul2008.com? Or just look in the Federal Register?
