I was categorically wrong…and for that I’m sorry!

As a sponsor of the Save The Debate Coalition, I strongly pushed for a Republican CNN/YouTube Debate. I truly thought that it was a great idea to have Average American Citizens ask questions of the Presidential candidates through the new medium of YouTube. I also had too much faith in CNN. Having grown up desiring either a career in journalism or politics, and having friends in the MSM I just thought that CNN would do a better job at choosing the questions than they did. In the end Governor Romney’s reservations were absolutely right on the money. CNN turned the entire thing into a farce. I have lost almost all respect for their organization, and look upon them a lot more skeptical than I did coming into the debate.

To end this, I want to apologize to Governor Romney and his staff for pushing this so hard. Hindsight is always 20/20, but I really wish that I would have looked deeper at the ramifications of this from your perspective. I just got caught up in it, and for that I am sorry. As the slogan says on my “Women for Romney” site says, “I’m a woman who believes that Mitt Romney is the kind of man who can lead the next generation”, and I’m more than thrilled to support Governor Romney as the 44th President of the United States.

Most Apologetically,

Salt Lake Tribune Article on Tonight’s Debate.

Thomas Burr of The Salt Lake Tribune pens an article today titled, “Romney’s religion won’t be spared in YouTube debate”.

As I read though the article one of the questions made me absolutely laugh…

Another question, from Spartanburg, N.C., noted that Mormons give a certain percentage of their income in tithing to the LDS Church, and asks whether Romney would do that if elected president.

“Now there’s a conflict of interest there if you are elected president; that means that taxpayer dollars will go to the Mormon Church by people that didn’t vote for you,” Mike said in his question. “What do you think about that?”

The Tribune went on to say…

Romney, who has a personal fortune worth an estimated $350 million, has already said that he would not take the $400,000 annual salary if he is elected president.

There are two things that I’d like to say about this question. One, when the President is paid, it’s his (or her) money and they can do with it what they want. It’s not tax dollars going to whatever organization the President spends the money on. That’s about as idiotic as saying that because teachers get a salary from the state, and a teacher smokes that the state is funding the tobacco industry. This is absolute LUNACY. Next, as the Tribune stated Governor Romney has already stated that when he is elected President that his entire salary will go to charity and that he will not get paid, just like his job as Governor before and his job as SLOC CEO before that.

I can’t wait for Governor Romney to get asked a stupid question, and then have him hit it out of the ballpark :)

Don’t forget to watch tonight…I’ll set up the chatroom again, and we can all discuss it while it’s happening…

*Breaking* - CNN/YouTube/Florida GOP debate to feature all 8 Republicans (Including Romney)

From The CNN Political Ticker

If you’ll remember, I was a part of the Save The Debate Petition. Their website hasn’t been updated to cross out Governor Romney’s name, but according to the post above at The CNN Political Ticker Governor Romney has agreed to participate. I think this is great news, and I encourage all of you to record a video and submit it.

Thanks to all of you who helped make this a success!
