I know this isn't related, but it makes me mad that McCain has received the most lobbyists’ money in the Presidential race. I think I'll vote for Romney, nobody can buy that guy. And besides he has skills. McCain, he's got............ um.......... let's see............ oh yeah, he has 25 years in the senate, tons of favors due, and has passed no significant legislation. Additionally, the guy has been consulting on military committees for 25 years - HE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM and hasn’t kept us safe.

Mitt really won my vote when I heard Mitt in one of the NH debates talk about immigration. The reason he won the endorsement of Tom Tancredo is he understands you will never end illegal immigration as long as you let those who come here illegally stay. Think about an Mexican citizen considering a move to the U.S. If McCain is elected, then he knows that he can stay in the U.S., even though he enters illegally, while he waits to become a citizen. Faced with entering legally by waiting years in low-wage Mexico or entering illegally in high-wage-but-pay-a-fine U.S., he’ll come illegally because the extra U.S. money he makes will more than offset McCain's fines. If the Mexican hears Romney is elected, he will probably wait in line to enter legally because he knows he can’t stay, even if he manages to sneak across.

All I have heard in Seattle are the ads about McCain. As I said, I will be voting for Mitt and I believe he is our only choice for conservative Republicans. I just want to hear more about the good works that Mitt is doing and has done. If this were cars or any other commodity, you don't sell your product by putting down the competition. At least you don't mention the other guy in your ad 15 times and only mention your name at the end. It is bad enough that the liberal media continues to tout McCain, I don't think it's doing Mitt any good that Rush, Sean, Levin, et al (and these are guys that are supporting Mitt) mention McCain, while exposing him as the liberal he truly is, as much as they do without giving equal time to Romney and his conservative values.

Ron Paul not only professes to be a Christian but his life and political career have been a model of humility and service to others.

To quote: "I have never been one who is comfortable talking about my faith in the political arena. In fact, the pandering that typically occurs in the election season I find to be distasteful. But for those who have asked, I freely confess that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and that I seek His guidance in all that I do. I know, as you do, that our freedoms come not from man, but from God. My record of public service reflects my reverence for the Natural Rights with which we have been endowed by a loving Creator."

I am shocked that as successful a businessman that Mitt is that he is running an anti McCain campaign. I want to hear about Romney, I already know that I can't stand McCain and will write in Romney if it comes to that at election time. Mitt needs to spend more time talking about himself, his successes, his family, love of country, etc. He needs to capitalize on any endorsements he may have from non Washington insiders. How about foreign leaders he impressed while putting together the Olympics. I want to see him as the Republican candidate in November and I fear that if the campaign continues to go the way it has been that this is not going to happen.
