Ravi Zacharias on a Mormon in the White House July 25, 2007 Posted by Paul Edwards in Ravi Zacharias , Mitt Romney , Mormonism . trackback Internationally renowned Christian apologist and theologian Ravi Zacharias raised a bit of controversy in evangelical circles back in November of 2004 when he accepted an invitation to speak at the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, UT.  He chose for his subject "The Exclusivity and Sufficiency of Jesus Christ." I asked Dr. Zacharias recently if he were at all concerned about the potential for a Mormon becoming president in the person of Mitt Romney: What we want is a politician who will understand the basic Judeo-Christian world view, and on the basis of that  the moral laws of this nation are framed, and then run this country with the excellence of that which is recognized in a pluralistic society: the freedom to believe or to disbelieve, and the moral framework with which this was conducted: the sanctity of every individu...

SC for the huckster says this: "Our second candidate in the spotlight is former Governor Mitt Romney who served 1 term as the Governor of Massachusetts. Compared to that of Mike Huckabee who has 10 ½ years of executive experience as the Governor of Arkansas." I don't think the huckster wants to get in the business of comparing resumes. Mass has 6 million people, Ark has 2. So Romney was governor of more people for more years (24 million man-years... is that a new term?). Outside of government... do we even need to go there? What the Hell has the huckster ever done, beside attract elmer fud looking supporters like this guy? You go dude. You hunt those things with your dog. That is awsome. You go. That is the most important thing we need in our next president... someone who can attract elmer fud... Elmer Fud has a bachelors degree in 2½ years before attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas ! OMG! OMG! That sounds presidential? Mitt Romn...

Anyone else think that it is funny that Romney mentioned that video as one of his favorites? Click here for the link. If anyone cares (these are the dog days of summer, and not much is going on) "doublespeakshow" has some weird stuff. One of them is labeled "switch" about Bloomberg switching from D to R to I. They are liberal, because of this video . Nice logic "doubelspeak". No on in Wisconsin could possible be a terrorist!

I was watching the YouTube debate and I found it interesting that the Democrats kept singling out Mitt. I don't remember them mentioning any of the other Republican candidates. To me this is a sign of who really scares them. I saw a graphic Jonathan Martin at the POLITICO mentioned depicting that most of the attacks from the DNC were aimed at my dad too: http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0707/Charting_the_DNC_attacks.html Posted at 2007-07-24 05:43:03 by Matt Romney

Tuesday, Jul 24, 2007 "[Democrats] think about big government, big taxes and Big Brother. That's the same course Europe has taken over the last couple of decades that has led to a level of growth far below our own." – Gov. Mitt Romney (Lisa Rossi, "Romney Blasts Obama, Others," The Des Moines Register , 7/21/07) Romney's Vision Of A Stronger Defense Vs. Defeatist Democrats Gov. Romney Stresses The Importance Of Winning In Iraq And Defeating Radical Islam Globally. "The congressional debate in Washington has largely, and myopically, focused on whether troops should be redeployed from Iraq to Afghanistan, as if these were isolated issues. Yet the jihad is much broader than any one nation, or even several nations. ... The jihadist threat is the defining challenge of our generation and is symptomatic of a range of new global realities."

By RICHARD COHEN | Posted Monday, July 23, 2007 4:30 PM PT   Fred Thompson has stepped out of character. To much of America, he is Arthur Branch, the district attorney he portrays on the TV series "Law and Order." Branch is a straight shooter, a no-nonsense kind of guy who says what he means and means what he says. In contrast, the actor who plays him can be quite a different man. I don't think Arthur Branch would vote for Fred Thompson. Branch's problem, as well as my own, is that Thompson does not always tell the truth. He clearly did not when it was revealed that, back when he was a lobbyist, he worked for a family planning outfit. Such honorable work is, of course, verboten to most Republicans, and so, for understandable but inexcusable reasons, Thompson — through a spokesman — lied. There are nicer words, I know, but when you give the impression that what is true is false, that is a lie. Arthur Branch would understand. "Fred Thompson did not lobby ...

Press Releases, Quotes, Speeches, and Videos from Mitt Romney about Education organized by year     Education Brian Lamb In you history, it includes Stanford for how long ? You finished first in your class at Brigham Young University in Utah ? Why did you go to Brigham Young ? How did you -- how were able to get an MBA and a law degree at the same time ? And clearly it would be why you did well and, as you know, you finished well enough to give the valedictory address -- the question I want to ask you though is why do you think you did well ? Other than having a lot of brainpower, did you have an approach to education ?   Governor Mitt Romney and Education   "The least of learning is done in the classrooms."

Mitt Romney, in a sign that he is comfortable as the early-state frontrunner, aims to up his national profile by aggressively bracketing the Democratic presidential candidates over the next few weeks, aides said this weekend. The campaign hopes the regular reproaches will be seen as signs of confidence and strength and will help to reduce the friction that prevents Romney from being seen as the leader of the Republican pack. His national poll ratings regularly lag those of his better-known rivals. Aside from the benefit to his own candidacy, Romney's aides are worried that Republicans generally aren't doing enough to soften up the Democrats most likely to be their party's nominee. On the trail, Romney will spend a little more time analyzing "The Romney vision versus the Democrat vision," according to one aide. He will compare his proposals -- metaphorically, a three-legged stool of strong families, strong national defense and a strong economies, to what he'...

Mitt's Fred Hits Romney takes the lead in softening up Fred Thompson. By John Dickerson Posted Monday, July 23, 2007, at 11:47 AM ET Mitt Romney has been increasing his assault on the Democratic front-runners recently. During a recent campaign swing, he returned to a theme found in his earliest speeches: "The Democratic candidates want to run the largest enterprise in the world—the government of the United States—and yet have never run a corner store.'' To make sure reporters get the point, Romney's campaign has sent e-mails highlighting this attack and links to local wire stories featuring it. Republican voters usually like to hear their candidates beat up the opposition, so the broad attack helps Romney in his effort to look like the party front-runner . But according to Romney insiders, the former Massachusetts governor is not just aiming at Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. His other, perhaps more salient target, is fellow Republican Fred Thompson. L...
