Love him or hate him, I believe Mitt Romney is the only candidate who can defeat BHO. I am not ready to admit that he is the perfect candidate, but he has corporate experience and experience working with a bipartisan legislature. While Newt is a great debater and appears to have an answer to everything, but his past is definately a negative. If defeating BHO is the objective, Mitt is the best bet.

i agree... i would rather have had another but our country would not survive another year of failure.

between the spending and illegals, our children mare screwed.

I think Ron P is going to upset

Here's a perspective on conservatives trying to gut Obama's Jobs Bill. 1933 FDR put Harry Hopkins in charge of the new Civil Works Administration (CWA).
"the agency took half it's workers from the relief rolls, the other half were people that needed jobs. Hopkins mobilized in one winter as many men that had served in the armed forces during WWI - by Jan 1934 the CWA employed 4,230,000 persons.
In a brief span the CWA built or improved 500,000 miles of roads, 40,000 schools, over 3,500 playgrounds, 1,000 airports, 50,000 teachers to keep rural schools open, 3,000 artists and writers...renovated the Dock Street Theatre in Charleston...
In Des moines men raced to the store with their first pay, able to buy. One woman said "the first thing I did was buy a dozen oranges, I hadn't tasted any for so long I forgot what they tasted like." By midnight CWA employees had swept the shelves of shoestores.

Get the point about Obama's Jobs bill conservatives? Get the point Joe Wilson, the four "twits", Graham and Demented? And all the other Neanderthals in Congress and SC.

In Feb (1934) a record-breaking cold wave chilled the country-56 below in New England, 14 below in New York city, 8 below in Richmond, snow and hail in florida- and only the CWA provided relief from cold and want. (I wonder how many kids were saved from this cold wave?)

A CWA worker received $15.04 a week pay.

Jan 17, 1935 FDR asked Congress for Social Security legislation.
"The Social Security Act created a national system of old-age insurance in which most employees were compelled to participate..."

Grace - I guess that answers the question whether Obama's mandatory health care enrollment is constitutional.

@maizenbluedoc: " If defeating BHO is the objective, Mitt is the best bet."

electing the person most qualified should be the objective...so reelect BO...then maybe hillary or elizebeth warren in 2016...would help to vote the "block BO" congress out come nov 2012...

if defeating BO is the objective...cant say much for GOP objectives...what about electing someone who has a plan for creating JOBs...

@harry: "another year of failure"

what is the specific failure of which you speak?...and what action do you suggest...maybe return to those thrilling days of policies that lead to the 1929 depression and 2008 recession???

Here is an idea for all of those who are uncertain about Mitt Romney's alleged Christian Faith. There are still a couple Sunday's between now and election day. For those who have questions related to faith, lets just go attend one of these next Sundays for just one hour to a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints near our homes and see for ourselves. They are right there in our communities. Let's just find out once and for all: do they speak of Jesus Christ in their meetings? Do they pray to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ? Do they teach christian principles? Do they make good citizens? One hour. Then we will know. To find the LDS Church near you, go to the LDS dot org website.

I don't have anything against Mormons, I believe in the First Amendment. they live well, better than most people in this country. And Romney's Mormonism can only affect one issue, if he applies his private religion to public policy - Roe v Wade and woman's reproductive choice. On that issue I would never vote for him.

A true story about mormonism.
Some years ago two missionaries knocked on my door. I invited them in because I was curious about Mormonism, not because i was considering converting. We had an hour session on theology and I invited them back.
On their third visit they began talking about the "civil war" between the forces of good and evil, fought around 800 AD around Missouri. The forces of good were defeated and forced to flee to cental america, mexico and Guatemala.
They showed me pictures of the cities the forces of good built down there.

Well, I had about enough at that point. I got a book off my bookshelf, John Stephens photographs of Mayan cities in central america, published arpound 1928.
The Mormon missionaries were using the Stephens pictures as their proof of pre-Mormon civilizations in Guatemala. I showed them the exact same pictures they were showing me.
Mormonism has a strong hold on followers. I don't understand how, I've never attended their temple. but their theology is nonsense - sorry to be so blunt.
The missionaries never came back after that third session.
